Blemish Removal 

Blemish Removals (also known as Advanced Cosmetic Procdeures or Advanced Electrolysis) is the new adaption of a well established and safety proven treatment namely Electrolysis. This is an increasingly popular, effective and hygienic method to remove a number of unsightly skin blemishes.

Electrolysis is best known for its abilities to remove unwanted hair using an electrical current within the follicle to cauterise the blood supply, killing the hair at the root and permanently removing it. Electrolysis was originally created in the early 1900s to treat ingrown hairs, spider naevi, xanthoma (yellow fatty substances commonly found around the eyes) and port wine marks, so you can imagine how far treatment has progressed since then.

There are now over 21 different types of blemishes that can safely and effectively be treated using advanced electrolysis with out the need for surgery and with very little recovery time. The treatment itself is a little uncomfortable but easily tolerated. There are minimal after effects, with a little tightness and scabbing to be expected.

A consultation will be carried out to ensure the client is suitable for treatment and to establish an appropriate treatment plan. After care will be given after treatment.

 

 

Items to consider before any treatment or procedure:

• Do you have any known health conditions that I need to know about? This could include any type of heart condition, allergies, circulatory disorders etc.?

• Are you preparing for a holiday?You must have your treatment at least 4 weeks before you travel. The total healing process takes anywhere between 4-6 weeks and sun/sea salt/chlorine may hinder the healing process.

• Do you need to pre-medicate?

I do recommend that you purchase a topical anaesthetic from your local pharmacy (Emla). Apply as directed one hour before your arrival, covering the area with a plaster or cling film to ensure maximum effectiveness.

Please note that not all skin lesions can be successfully removed. I will recommend the best method for treatment during the consultation phase. Some blemishes may require a GP’s written consent prior to treatment.
