Thermolysis

Thermolysis is an extremely effective way to treat facial thread veins, skin tags, milia, warts, verruccas, moles, sebaceious cysts, sun and age spots.

We use the very latest electrolysis machine made by Aplius to treat these conditions using thermolysis. The treatment is simple, highly effective process during which we use a tiny needle to cauterise the treatment area. The blemish will disappear almost immediately and your skin will return to its normal appearance very quickly.

Frequently asked questions

How many treatments will I need?

There will be an immediate visible reduction in unwanted veins on your first session.

Removing skin tags and milia should take one treatment but may require more depending on how many there are to remove.

Will it hurt?

Yes, the treatment is slightly uncomfortable, but the procedure fast and will be over quickly. We will apply an anaesthetic cream beforehand to reduce discomfort.

Treatment care

PRE-TREATMENT CARE

PRE-TREATMENT CARE

  • Well hydrated skin can help the treatment be more effective so we recommend that the client drinks an ample amount of water in the week prior to their appointment.
  • No deodorants, creams or lotions should be used on the treatment areas on the day of the appointment.
  • You can take paracetamol before treatment if you are concerned about pain.
  • Don’t forget to apply numbing agents such as Emla cream if this is your preference.

To achieve the best results from your treatments, keep up with appointments.

  • If you do find small scabs or ‘brown tops’ do not pick them off as they are part of the healing process – if you do pick them, you may cause scar tissue.
  • For the next 1 to 2 days ensure the treated areas are clean and minimise heat or friction on the area.
  • To avoid any cross infection the area should not be touched with fingers for a minimum of 48 hours.
  • For the same reason do not use public pools, saunas or take hot showers or spas.
  • Do not sunbathe or use sunbeds or tanning processes for two days as these will affect sensitivity of the skin.
  • Exercise such as gym work and sport should not be undertaken for one to two days.
  • Do not apply any products such as lotions, deodorants, powders, body sprays etc. to the treated areas for 24 hours, unless they have been recommended by your treatment provider, as they are likely to cause irritation.
