The term histology defines the precise area of biology and medicine devoted to exploring tissue structure, function and disease. The main techniques used in histology laboratories include the use of chemical stains to help examine tissue samples under high-powered microscopes.
Histopathology covers the clinical application of histological techniques to examine cells and tissues for analysis of medical conditions such as cancer and other diseases.
At the lab the tissue sample is immediately put into a special compound to stabilise and preserve the cells. Once the sample has set, the tissue is embedded into wax blocks so thin sections can be sliced and stained before undergoing diagnostic analysis.
Here at Clearer Clinics, we focus on the two layers of skin tissue: the epidermis is the thin outer section that protects the inner, thicker dermis layer contains the blood, nerves and sweat glands.
Here at Clearer Clinics, we are medical professionals and aim to offer the highest level of care to our patients. That is why we have partnered with a histology laboratory located close to our Milton Keynes clinic.
When we conduct a mole removal procedure we will send a tissue sample to the lab for prompt analysis. The specialist facility has the equipment, including high-powered microscopes, and expertise to detect any abnormal cells.
While most moles look the same, cells that could cause skin cancer could be lurking underneath the surface. Our qualified GP conducts all our minor surgical procedures and will determine what moles or skin growths require further investigation.
Skin health is important for your general health and wellbeing. The skin is the largest organ in the human body and covers an area of two square metres in adults, with a weight of around five kilograms. The thinnest part is the eyelids (0.5mm) while the thickest is the heel of the foot (4mm).
Acting as a barrier to protect your delicate organs from the outside, the skin can resist UV light, heat, water and physical pressure. Nerve cells can detect, touch, pain and temperature.
Our GP will explain the process during your consultation and will inform you if histology is recommended.
