Blemishes removal

Large blood spots on the body, head and scalp are often known as Campbell de Morgan. While they may be distressing to live with, they are a completely harmless vascular blemish that can easily be removed with diathermy.

REQUIRED TREATMENT

Diathermy. For very large blood spots, two treatments may be required:

To causterise and reduce the blood spot
To reduce any remaining colour after the initial treatment has healed.

Cherry Angioma are small blood spots that are benign vascular blemishes. They can vary in size from small pin dots to as large as a penny; and in colour from bright red to darker tones. Cherry angioma are not painful, but may bleed when scratched and can become distressing, particularly if they are in difficult to mask areas.

REQUIRED TREATMENT

Diathermy techniques place can desiccate the tissue and cauterise blood.

Telangiectasia, also known as red veins, thread veins and broken capillaries, are common in exposed and vulnerable areas such as the nose. These can be caused by trauma to the skin. Treatment aims to restore the previous appearance of the skin.

REQUIRED TREATMENT

Following advanced diathermy treatment, you can expect to see a 60-80% improvement in the appearance of your thread veins depending on your age, health and lifestyle.

Skin tags are benign, innocuous growths which vary in size, shape and attachment. They are often found in areas where there is friction, such as where the skin creases or clothes rub. Skin tags (technically known as fibro-vascular papilloma) are increasingly common as we age and affect almost half of the population. While they are benign and do not pose any direct risk to your health, skin tags can easily be removed if they are impacting on your self esteem or mental well-being.

REQUIRED TREATMENT

Your skin tag can easily be removed in a single treatment of diathermy.

Age Spots

Whether you call them age spots, liver spots, sun spots, brown spots or solar lentigo, these benign areas of discolouration commonly appear on our hands, neck, shoulders and face as we get older. They are caused by a build up of melanin and ‘lipofucin’ in the connective tissue and are completely harmless.

REQUIRED TREATMENT

Diathermy is extremely effective and accurate at giving ‘immediate’ results. There’s no need to wait for those brown marks to disappear.

Dermatosa Papulosa Nigra are small brown or black raised areas of skin that affect one third of people with Fitzpatrick skin types 5 and 6. In many cases, Dermatosa Papulosa Nigra is a genetic condition that appears on the face, upper cheeks and temples, eyes and chest and increases with age. While Dermatosa Papulosa Nigra does not pose a threat to your health, it can have an impact on your self confidence and mental well being.

REQUIRED TREATMENT

Diathermy, when utilised with Sterex techniques can treat miniscule blemishes with extreme precision.
