Diathermy Workshop

Join Dermal Clinicians Kristina Mazzone and Valentina Novakovic for a practical, in-depth diathermy workshop combining clinical theory with real hands-on treatment experience. We’ll start with the fundamentals: Diathermy theory Lesion assessment, differentials and red flags (benign vs. malignant look-alikes) Technique selection: tapping, insertion and scoring Probe type, size and intensity selection Clinical endpoints and what to avoid Hands-on practice on live models across two treatment beds Aftercare, documentation and complication management

We'll start with a 45minute presentation, you’ll put theory into practice across two treatment beds working in small groups. We will have organised models presenting with a range of benign lesions. These include skin tags, sebaceous hyperplasia, milia, cherry and spider angiomas, and more. You’ll watch live demonstrations, then get genuine hands-on practice under guidance, before we close with a discussion on aftercare, documentation, and managing complications. Whether you’re new to diathermy or looking to refine your technique, this workshop is designed to build real clinical confidence.
