Dermabrasion is a skin-resurfacing treatment in which a specialist carefully removes controlled layers of damaged outer skin using a rotating medical instrument. It may help selected people with acne scars, injury-related scars, uneven texture, fine facial lines or certain other surface irregularities.
Acne scar treatment uses medical and procedural methods to improve marks left after acne heals. It can help people with indented, raised, discoloured, or uneven scars by improving skin texture and making scars less noticeable.
Cryotherapy uses controlled, extremely cold temperatures to freeze and destroy abnormal or diseased tissue. Depending on the condition, it may treat skin lesions, precancerous changes or selected tumours, helping patients who need a focused and often minimally invasive treatment.
Laser Hair Removal is a non-surgical treatment that uses concentrated light to damage hair follicles, the small structures from which hair grows. It can help people seeking long-term reduction of unwanted facial or body hair, including those troubled by repeated ingrown hairs or skin irritation from shaving and waxing.
Balloon valvuloplasty is a minimally invasive treatment used to widen a narrowed heart valve. A specialist guides a thin tube called a catheter through a blood vessel, positions a balloon across the affected valve, and briefly inflates it to improve blood flow.
Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation places a small electronic device under the skin, usually near the collarbone, to monitor heart rhythm continuously. If the device detects a dangerously fast rhythm, it can deliver electrical impulses or a shock to restore a safer heartbeat and reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death.
Catheter ablation is a minimally invasive treatment for abnormal heart rhythms, also called arrhythmias. Thin, flexible tubes called catheters are guided through blood vessels to the heart, where controlled energy treats the small area of tissue causing faulty electrical signals.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an advanced form of temporary life support for people whose lungs, heart, or both cannot provide enough oxygenated blood despite intensive treatment. Blood is moved through an external circuit, where an artificial lung adds oxygen and removes carbon dioxide before returning it to the body.
Coronary angioplasty is a minimally invasive treatment that opens narrowed or blocked coronary arteries, the blood vessels supplying the heart muscle. It can relieve chest pain, improve blood flow, and provide urgent treatment during certain heart attacks.
Pacemaker implantation is a procedure in which a small electronic device is placed under the skin, usually near the collarbone, to help regulate an abnormally slow or unreliable heartbeat. It may help people whose heart rhythm causes fainting, breathlessness, fatigue or reduced ability to perform daily activities.
