Indications for Medical Electrolysis
These are small, permanently dilated blood vessels near the surface of the skin. While their exact cause can vary, common contributing factors include:
– Age-related changes to skin and blood vessels
– Chronic sun exposure (photodamage)
– Genetic predisposition
– Hormonal changes (e.g., during pregnancy)
– Physical trauma to the skin
These are benign vascular lesions that appear as small, red, papular formations on the skin. They are commonly located on the trunk and are prevalent in individuals over the age of 30.
This lesion, clinically known as Naevus Araneus, presents as a central red papule (a dilated blood vessel) with fine red lines radiating from it. A Spider Naevus may be found as a single lesion or as multiple grouped lesions, often on the cheeks.
Acrochordons are common, benign lesions that are most frequently found on the neck and face. They appear as soft, skin-coloured growths, often on a narrow stalk (peduncle). They are commonly located in areas of high friction, including the underarms, groin, and neck.
These are tiny, white, hard, round spots containing keratin, which lie superficially under the surface of the skin. Their exact cause is unknown, although they are often associated with dry, dehydrated skin.
There are various types of warts including plain, common, filiform and verrucas, and all can be easily and successfully treated using electrolysis. These type of warts can develop individually or in clusters and are highly contagious.
These are benign (non-cancerous) skin lesions commonly associated with the ageing process and sun exposure.
They present as raised, often crusty or waxy growths that can appear on the face, scalp, and torso, and may grow up to several centimetres in diameter.
This is a common, benign dermatological condition that typically presents from adolescence onwards. It is characterised by multiple, small, hyperpigmented (brown to black) papules. These lesions are primarily located on the face and neck, and are most prevalent in individuals with Fitzpatrick skin types III to VI.
Hairs from moles can be treated by those trained in AMAP techniques. Once treatment has started the mole may reduce in size & colour. Hairs in moles are generally deep terminal hairs with a very rich blood supply. Repeat treatments, as with electrical epilation are required. Moles respond extremely well to electrolysis, and treatment is very effective, visibly reducing the size and often lightening the colour of the mole.
FAQs For Lesion Removal
How long is a treatment and how many will I require?
Medical electrolysis is a safe and established procedure. While improvements can be noticeable promptly, the full healing process varies. The duration and number of treatments required depend on the nature, size, and type of the diagnosed lesion. Your qualified practitioner will discuss a personalised treatment plan, including expected timelines, during your medical consultation.
Your qualified practitioner will create a personalised treatment plan based on your diagnosis. This plan will detail the appropriate techniques and treatment intervals required to achieve the desired clinical outcome for your specific condition.
How are Thread Veins treated?
Treatment for telangiectasias (thread veins) involves introducing a fine probe along the vessel. High-frequency energy is then applied to coagulate and occlude the targeted capillary. The vessel typically diminishes in appearance during or shortly after treatment. The number of sessions required will depend on the extent and nature of the vascular lesion, as determined during your medical assessment.
Will my lesions return?
The aim is for permanent resolution of the treated lesion. However, new lesions may develop over time depending on underlying predispositions or conditions. Your qualified practitioner will discuss this during your medical consultation.
Mixing electrolysis methods
The specific electrolysis technique employed is determined by the qualified practitioner based on a comprehensive assessment of the diagnosed lesion(s), skin condition, patient factors, and available medical equipment.
