Advanced Blemish Removal in Chester

Advanced Electrolysis can be used to treat a wide range of cosmetic skin blemishes, including skin tags, seborrhoeic keratosis, blood spots, spider veins, broken capillaries, milia, warts, verrucae and some sebaceous cysts.

It can also be used for mole reduction in suitable cases, although moles are reduced rather than fully removed. A doctor’s note is required before any mole reduction treatment can be carried out.

Advanced Electrolysis can be used on many areas of the face and body, depending on the type of blemish and the suitability of the skin. Common areas include the face, neck, chest, groin, underarms, under the breasts and other areas where cosmetic skin lesions may appear.

Your practitioner will advise you on the likely number of sessions once they have assessed the area.

In many cases, the result is immediate, especially with smaller superficial blemishes such as skin tags. However, the skin still needs time to fully heal after treatment.

The final result is usually best assessed once the area has completed its healing process, which can take around 4 to 6 weeks.

After treatment, the area may look red and feel warm, tight or slightly swollen. Light scabbing is also normal and is part of the healing process.

It is important not to pick, scratch or remove any scabs, as this can interfere with healing and may increase the risk of marking. Full aftercare advice will be given at your appointment.

Most clients can return to normal daily activities, but you will need to follow the aftercare instructions carefully and protect the area while the skin is healing.

Aftercare will be explained fully at your appointment and may include using aloe vera or calamine powder while the area heals. You should avoid picking the skin, avoid unnecessary heat or friction on the area, and keep the treated skin protected.

SPF is recommended for 3 months after treatment to help protect the healing skin and reduce the risk of pigmentation changes.

Your practitioner will advise you on what to expect and whether any future treatments may be needed.

Advanced Electrolysis is designed to treat superficial cosmetic blemishes with minimal downtime. However, all skin treatments carry some risk of temporary marking, redness, pigmentation changes or scarring, especially if aftercare is not followed correctly.

Avoiding picking, protecting the area from the sun and following the aftercare advice will help support the best possible healing outcome.

The treatment is intended for suitable cosmetic lesions only. Final suitability will always be confirmed during consultation.
