Blemish Removal is a specialist skin treatment that can be used to successfully remove, visibly reduce and improve the appearance of a variety of skin lesions, cosmetic skin imperfections and blemishes, offering immediate and effective results.
Blemish Removal, also called Advanced Electrolysis, is one of the least invasive and most reliable methods of blemish removal, treating a wide variety of cosmetic skin imperfections including:
Please do not use retinol, chemical peels or any exfoliating products or invasive treatments 1 week before your procedure or aspirin or ibuprofen 48 hours before. If you have any questions please email the clinic. Once you have booked your consultation with us, a consultation form will be emailed to you beforehand for us to gather more information.
Advanced Electrolysis works by using an electric current and an ultra fine probe to cauterise and lift away skin imperfections. This produces a heating effect which, when applied to the blemish, destroys the imperfection. Depending on the blemish it will be cauterised or coagulated and you may feel some slight discomfort during your treatment. Using a probe allows precision work to the blemish which won’t interfere with the surrounding tissue.
The healing time and process will be different for each person and some types of skin blemish or lesions may require multiple treatments to achieve complete removal.
Generally, we allow 2-4 weeks for healing. Then, after 6 weeks, we will ask you to come in so we can review the treated area and see how it’s healed and whether you need further sessions. At this point, there may still be some differences in skin colour where the area has been treated, depending on your skin tone and type. This can take several months or up to a year to improve.
Redness and swelling should be expected for 24-48 hours afterwards and you may experience fine crusts and scabs. We will provide you with ann aloe vera gel to take home as aftercare and help with healing, this is included in the price of the treatment. Make sure you’re protecting the area from the sun using our SPF50, once the scab has fallen off.
Please do not interfere with any of the natural healing process by picking or using any other products. Your skin practitioner will go over this with you in more detail during your procedure.
Please be aware we can not guarantee removal but most lesions have a successful outcome of removal or reduction, with some lesions needing multiple treatments for the desired outcome.
