blemish Removal
what is blemish removal?
Before proceeding with any blemish removal procedure, we always have a consultation to determine the best course of treatment for your skin condition. We usually use Sterex or IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy, depending on the type of blemish and the outcome of your consultation. The Sterex machine is perfect for precise, safe, and effective removal of skin blemishes, delivering excellent results with minimal discomfort and a quick recovery time. For other skin issues such as thread vein and pigmentation removal, IPL therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-intensity light to rejuvenate the skin and improve its appearance.

Often mixed up with Milia, Syringomas are sweat gland growths that appear as small, flesh-colored or slightly yellowish bumps on the skin. They typically form around the eyes, especially on the eyelids, but can also appear on the cheeks, chest, and abdomen. These tiny bumps are often multiple, appearing in clusters, and can vary in size.

Sebaceous Hyperplasia is a skin condition where the sebaceous glands, responsible for producing oil, become enlarged. This leads to small, flesh-colored or yellowish bumps that commonly appear on the face, particularly on the forehead, nose, and cheeks. The bumps are typically smooth and have a central dimple or indentation.

Warts and Verrucas are small, rough growths that appear on the skin, caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). While warts can develop on various parts of your body, verrucas specifically appear on the soles of your feet. Although they may look similar, they have distinct characteristics and can cause different levels of discomfort.

Seborrhoeic keratosis is a common, benign skin growth that often appears as a warty, brown or black spot, typically as a sign of aging. These growths are non-cancerous and usually develop in people over 40, becoming more frequent with age.

Moles are common skin growths that appear as small, dark spots or bumps on the skin. They are caused by clusters of pigment-producing cells called melanocytes. Moles can be brown, black, or even pink, and they vary in size, shape, and texture. Most moles develop during childhood or adolescence, and it's normal for them to change slightly over time, especially during puberty or pregnancy.

Skin tags are small growths that hang off your skin. They can vary in colour and size – from a few millimetres up to 5cm wide and are usually found on the neck, armpits, around the groin, or under the breasts. They're common and harmless, but can be removed if they're bothering you.

Milia are tiny cysts that show up as white spots on the face. They're usually mistaken for whiteheads, but they're actually little pockets of keratin that have formed beneath the epidermis and frequently appear in clusters. Many people choose to get them removed, although they aren't dangerous.

Blood spots, also known as cherry angiomas, are very common skin growths that can appear on any part of the body. These small collections of blood vessels are typically red, circular in shape, and often very small. They can feel smooth and even with the skin or slightly raised. Blood spots most commonly appear on the arms, legs, torso, and shoulders, particularly in adults over the age of 30.

Medically known as Telangiectasia, thread veins can become visible as the small blood vessels become dilated. Thread veins, also referred to as spider veins, are an extremely common problem that affects 88% of women and 79% of men. Thread veins are regular veins, but they are visible as they grow to a much larger size than regular veins. Thread veins cause no pain and are not medically required to be removed. However, some people opt for removal treatment as they consider them undesirable.

WHAT IS INTENSE PULSED LIGHT (IPL) THERAPY?
IPL in skincare refers to Intense Pulsed Light therapy. It is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses high-intensity light to improve the appearance of various skin issues, such as rosacea, sun damage, age spots, and uneven skin tone.
The procedure works by delivering intense pulses of light into the skin, which are absorbed by the target cells and cause them to break down, leading to a more youthful and even complexion. IPL is a safe and effective way to rejuvenate and even out the skin tone, with little to no downtime.
-
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) uses high-intensity light pulses to treat a range of skin concerns, improving skin tone and texture. Sterex employs electrolysis technology for precise, targeted treatments, ideal for removing skin tags, moles, and other localised blemishes.
Both treatments are effective and tailored to your skin's needs, offering safe and reliable solutions for various skin concerns.

Pin dot crusts or small scabs may appear in the treated area.
The skin may itch as the healing process takes place.
-
Pin dot crusts or scabs may appear which seal the skin and prevent infection.
These must not be rubbed or picked off, as to do so may result in scarring.
The Crusts or scabs are tiny and often are ‘felt’ rather than ‘seen’. - Do not touch, rub or irritate the treated area.
When washing and cleansing around the area, use a gentle soap or perfume free cleanser and gently pat the area dry to avoid dislodging any crusts or scabs.
Avoid activities for 48 hours that stimulate blood flow following vascular treatments, e.g. exercise, hot showers, hot baths, hot spicy foods and alcohol.
Avoid activities for 48 hours that may irritate or dislodge any crusts or scabs, e.g. swimming, saunas, steam rooms, facial steaming, facial scrubs, waxing and other beauty treatments until the area has completely healed.
Do not fly within 48 hours following a vascular treatment. - You must keep out of UV light completely during the healing process and as much as possible thereafter.
Once healed, cover and protect sun exposed areas using a good quality, high factor sunscreen at all times, particularly in the summer months.
Avoid the possible causes of vascular blemishes, for example, wearing tight fitting glasses, squeezing spots, careless or erratic tweezing or blowing nose too vigorously.
Avoid using any possible skin sensitisers or irritants such as perfumes, fake tan products or perfumed body lotions until skin is healed.
