Skin and Aesthetic Treatments

Electro-Micro Surgery /Advanced Cosmetic Procedures (ACP) using electrolysis is by cauterisation. Suitable for a wide diversity of skin lesions and blemishes which can be quickly and easily treated without cutting, stitching or leaving any scars. Offering immediate and effective results with an eventual smooth looking, blemish free skin. As far back as the early 1900’s, electrolysis was being used for the treatment of port-wine marks, broken capillaries, spider angioma, warts and xanthoma - yellow pigmented spots or plates found on the eyelids.

These are not broken capillaries but rather permanently dilated capillaries. They have very thin walls which constantly dilate and constrict. As we age, these vessels lose their elasticity and can become permanently dilated on the surface of the skin. There are numerous causes including: ageing, hereditary, excessive exfoliation, pregnancy, tight spectacles, smoking, energetic sports, temperature extremes and harsh weather exposure, hormones and skin fragility. They are commonly seen in a maturing ‘English Rose’ complexion.

These are bright red vascular spots which lie just under the surface of the skin. They are dome shaped or slightly raised and are most common on the trunk or torso. Most people aged over 30 have at least one and they are more common in men than women.

A spider angioma is a central dilated blood vessel, with smaller capillaries radiating from it like the legs of a spider. They can be found in isolation or gathered together in clumps on areas such as the cheeks, chest or legs.

Skin tags are very common and most frequently found on the neck and face. They vary in size from a tiny speck, smaller than a grain of uncooked rice, to the size of a large pea or even larger. They are often found in areas of friction such as the underarm, under the breasts or around the neck where necklaces may irritate.

These are tiny white hard lumps containing keratin which lie superficially under the surface of the skin and can be easily treated. Their exact cause is unknown, although they are often caused by use of comedogenic products or high cholesterol.

There are various types of warts, including plane, common, seborrhoeic and verrucas. All can be easily and successfully treated. Warts can develop individually or in clusters. Seborrhoeic warts become more common with increasing age and can grow to up to two inches across.

This is a common popular disorder usually in adolescence on black skin. It is identified by smooth, dome shaped, brown to black papules seen mainly on the cheeks, neck and upper chest.

Hairs from moles can be treated by those trained in ACP techniques. A Dermatolog'ist consent may be required  before treatment.

MCA and Stretch Mark Treatment

This treatment is a permanent and a natural process which does not require anything implanted into the skin. It targets only the affected area and does not cause unnecessary trauma to the unaffected parts of the skin. Each treatment starts from 30 minutes. A course of treatments is recommended depending on the depth of the scar tissue. The effects are significant, measurable and sustainable.

The Dermaroller / Dermapen is a skin needling treatment that is designed to help increase the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. After anaesthetic, the small titanium needles on a cylindrical barrel rolls over the skin to puncture tiny holes in the epidermis. These tiny holes act like pathways and allow for better absorption of your topical skin care products as they can travel to the deeper layers of the skin more easily.

With this treatment, the skin is triggered into releasing a number of growth factors that stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin. This is the skin’s naturalist way of healing and repairing, the more the skin is forced to activate its repair mechanism, the more collagen it produces and the plumper and more youthful your skin will appear.

The Dermaroller can help improve the look of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, skin laxity, sun damaged skin and loss of firmness while increasing skin’s natural radiance for a healthier looking complexion.

It is not called the "magic wand of skin care" for nothing.
