Skin Blemishes & Disorders
The Freedom Skin Clinic helps people to remove skin blemishes and overcome skin disorders using Electrolysis as an Advanced Cosmetic Procedure (ACP).
Treatments using electrolysis have become increasingly popular in recent years as it is a permanent and effective technique for tackling skin blemishes and skin disorders, in particular thread veins, milia, skin tags, blood spots, warts and verrucas.
Without the use of surgery, a short course of electrolysis can provide immediate and effective results offering an eventual blemish free smooth skin freeing you from blemishes which may have affected your confidence and wellbeing throughout your life.
Be assured that this is not a new technique for blemish removal. As far back as the early 1900’s electrolysis was being used for the treatment of port-wine marks, broken capillaries, spider naevus, warts and even xanthoma (yellow pigmented spots or plates found on the eyelids).
Today it has progressed a long way and with modern technology it is a safe, comfortable and effective treatment.
What to expect...
We have tried to anticipate and answer some of the questions you may have prior your treatment, below. However if you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
What actually happens in advanced electrolysis? The tip of the finest, smallest probe possible (about the size of an eyelash) is introduced along the line of the capillary and a tiny energy current is discharged. This 'dries up' and destroys the vessel which often disappears as it is being treated. Further treatments may be necessary depending on the severity of the problem.
In the case of skin tags the current destroys the vessels ‘feeding’ the blemish ‘starving’ it of nourishment resulting in its eventual demise.
Will my blemishes return? The treated blemish will not return but others may occur depending on the root cause. Your skin specialist will advise you during consultation.
How long does it take and how many treatments will I require? ACP treatments are safe and effective and offer instantaneous results in many cases. The length of your treatment very much depends on the problem and your skin specialist will advise you of this, although it is difficult to state a definitive time.
The area worked on must not be over-treated and your skin reactivity will be taken into account. Spacing technique and treatment intervals will be carefully considered in a treatment plan by the professional as well as taking into account your requirements, needs and wishes.
Mixing electrolysis methods: The method chosen is a decision the skin specialist will make and will be determined by the blemish(es), condition of the skin, client compatibility and equipment.
How much do the treatments cost? You pay for the length of time you are treated with a minimum of 15 minutes. The price varies depending on the clinic, area and equipment. The skin specialist will be pleased to offer you a consultation and price estimate. Please contact us for details.
