Facial thread veins
Facial thread veins
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.

There are numerous causes including ageing, genetics, pregnancy, smoking, energetic sports, harsh weather exposure, hormones and skin fragility. They are commonly seen in a maturing ‘English rose’ complexion.

Facial thread veins
Blood spots
These are bright red vascular blemishes which lie just under the surface of the skin. They are dome-shaped or slightly raised and are frequently found on the midriff, back or front. Most people aged over 30 have at least one and they are more common in men than women.
Spider Naevus
Spider Naevus
A Spider naevus 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.
Skin Tags
Skin Tags
Skin tags are very common and most frequently found on the neck and face. They often appear with a neck like a mushroom and 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, groin, under the breasts or around the neck where necklaces may irritate.

Milia
Milia
These are tiny white hard lumps containing keratin which lie superficially under the surface of the skin and can be easily treated with ACP techniques. Their exact cause is unknown although they are often associated with dry skin which can be acidic.
Seborrhoeic warts
Seborrhoeic warts
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 up to two inches across.
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra
Dermatosis papulosa nigra is a common disorder which develops in adolescence on black skin and is identified by smooth, dome shaped, brown to black papules seen mainly on the cheeks, neck and upper chest.
Moles
Moles
Hairs from moles (and moles themselves) can be treated by those trained in ACP techniques. Once treatment has started the mole may reduce in size and colour. Hairs in moles are generally deep terminal hairs with a very rich blood supply. Repeat treatments, as with electrical epilation are required.
Unsightly hair
Unsightly hair
Electrolysis is a method of removing individual hairs from the face or body. Today’s medical electrolysis devices destroy the growth centre of the hair with chemical or heat energy. After a very fine probe is inserted into the hair follicle, the hair is removed with tweezers.

This procedure is recommended for anyone with grey, light blonde or red hair, with a few unwanted, stubborn hairs.

FAQs

What happens in an advanced cosmetic procedure?

The tip of the finest, smallest probe possible (about the size of an eyelash) is introduced along the line of the capillary and a tiny energy current is discharged. This dries up and destroys the vessel which often disappears as it is being treated. Further treatments may be necessary depending on the severity of the problem.

In the case of skin tags, the current destroys the vessels feeding the blemish, starving it of nourishment resulting in its eventual demise.

Will my blemishes return?
The treated blemish will not return, but others may occur depending on the root cause. Your skin specialist will advise you during consultation.
How long does it take and how many treatments will I require?

Treatments are safe and effective and offer instantaneous results in many cases. Length of treatment very much depends on the problem and your skin specialist will advise you of this although it is difficult to state a definitive time.

The area worked on must not be over treated and your skin reactivity will be taken into account. Spacing technique and treatment intervals will be carefully considered in a treatment plan, as well as taking into account your requirements, needs and wishes.

How much does it cost?
You pay for the length of time you are treated, with a minimum of 15 minutes. We will be happy to offer you a free consultation and price estimate.
What method will you use?
The method chosen is a decision your skin specialist will make and will be determined by the blemish(es), condition of the skin, your own compatibility and equipment required.
