Electrolysis is used for the treatment of cosmetic skin imperfections by using a small current of electricity to the problem area on the skin. This procedure can treat blemishes such as: Red Veins, Milia (white spots often around the eyes), Skin Tags and Blood Spots (on the skins surface).
Treatable Skin Blemishes
Thread Veins
These are permanently dilated capillaries. They have very thin walls which constantly dilate and constrict. As we age, these vessels lose their elasticity and can become permanently dilated.
There are numerous causes including: ageing, sun-damage, hereditary, pregnancy, trauma e.g. the rubbing of spectacles and smoking. Energetic sports, temperature extremes, harsh weather exposure, hormones and skin fragility are also common causes. They are commonly seen in a maturing ‘English rose’ complexion.
Blood Spots
Bright red, superficial vascular blemishes these are often dome shaped or slightly raised and are frequently found on the midriff. Most people aged over 30 have at least one and they are often more common in men than women.
Spider Naevus
A Spider Naevus is a central dilated blood vessel, with smaller capillaries radiating from it like the legs of a spider. They can be found in isolation or gathered together in clumps on areas such as the cheeks.
Skin Tags
Skin Tags are very common and most frequently found on the neck and face. They often appear with a neck like a mushroom and vary in size from a tiny speck, smaller than a grain of uncooked rice, to the size of a large pea or even larger. They are often found in areas of friction such as the underarm, groin, under the breasts or around the neck where necklaces may irritate.
Milia
These are tiny, white, hard, round, spots containing keratin which lie superficially under the surface of the skin. Their exact cause is unknown although they are often associated with dry, dehydrated skin.
Seborrhoeic Keratosis
Although these are classified as part of the wart family they are not contagious and very common on the head, face and body. Associated with increasing age, mature skins, sun damage they also have genetic links. Growing up to 2 inches across they are often dry, crusty and considered cosmetically unattractive.
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra is a common papular disorder which develops in adolescence on black skin and is identified by smooth, dome shaped, brown to black papules seen mainly on the cheeks, neck and upper chest.
Moles
Hairs from moles can be treated. Once treatment has started the mole may reduce in size and color. Hairs in moles are generally deep terminal hairs with a very rich blood supply. Repeat treatments, as with electrical epilation are required. Moles respond extremely well to electrolysis and treatment is very effective visibly reducing the size and often lightening the color of the mole.
Treatments using Electrolysis are becoming increasingly popular and can be used to treat a wide variety of skin blemishes.
