Advanced Electrolysis
Lesion Removal
What is Advanced Electrolysis and how does it work?
Advanced Electrolysis (Diathermy) is a safe and effective procedure that uses gentle heat through an electrical current to remove a variety of skin lesions. This technique works wonders by targeting the excess keratin build-up on the skin’s surface and eliminating those unwanted growths. For skin tag removal Diathermy is the no.1 recommended treatment as it works by cauterizing the blood vessels that supply the skin tag and ensures the skin tag will not grow back unlike other methods such as Cryotherapy (freezing). The procedure is relatively quick and minimally invasive, without any major downtime. The results are remarkable, leaving you with a smooth and even complexion.

What happens during an Advanced Lesion Removal session?
The area will be numbed and sterilised prior to treatment, your session will then take place and aftercare will be applied and given to you to take home to continue use.
How long will it take to see results?
The lesion will shrink and heal over the next 10 days (skin tags will fall off in their own time, usually a couple of days following treatment). However allow up to 3-12 weeks for the skin to fully heal and any redness to subside.
How many treatments will I need?
For some lesions a single session will be enough however others may take a few more treatments to get desired results. This will be discussed at your free consultation when we put together your personalised treatment plan.
How long will results last?
Results for majority of lesions are permanent. For Telangiectasia Spider Naevi future treatments may be required.
How should I care for my skin before / after Advanced Lesion Removal?
♡ Plan your treatment at least 4 weeks prior to going on a sun exposing holiday.
♡ Prior to your treatment you should avoid direct sun exposure sun for at least 2 weeks. Using SPF on the lead up to your appointment to ensure the skin is at its healthiest. I will not perform the treatment on burnt skin.
♡ I recommend showering before your appointment as you will need to keep the area dry for 24 hours following the treatment.
♡ Avoidance of direct sunlight for at least 14 days is necessary and the application of SPF50 on the area is always advised.
♡ A follow up appointment will be a made 3 weeks post treatment.
♡ You will be given specific aftercare for your individual concern.
Is there any downtime afterwards?
You want to keep the area dry for 24hrs post treatment, besides this you will be able to return to your daily activities almost immediately. The area may experience heat, tingling, redness and swelling following your treatment, this will all calm down and reduce over the next 48hrs.
