Advanced Electrolysis is used to treat skin tags on the face and body. It works by passing a very small, current of energy into the target area of the skin. This dries up the vessels that feed into the area, cauterising skin tags and causing them to drop off.
At your appointment we begin with a consultation to answer any questions you have and confirm your skin tags are suitable for treatment. We will tell you what to expect pre and post treatment.
The treatment involves:
• Gently cleansing the treatment area with a sterile wipe.
•Applying the sterile electrolysis probe to the target area, which then releases a tiny burst of energy. This has been described by clients as mildly uncomfortable to slightly painful.
•We finish by applying a healing soothing treatment cream which you are also given to use at home.
Treatment time can be as little as 5 minutes up to 15 minutes.
After treatment you may initially have a little scabbing and redness. However, this is temporary and should be healed within 14 days. If the treatment area is easily visible, you may want to consider this recovery time when booking.
