SKIN blemish Removal

what is SKIN blemish removal?

Before proceeding with any skin blemish removal procedure, we always have a consultation to determine the best course of treatment for your skin condition. We offer several advanced options, including Cryopen and Sterex, depending on the type of skin blemish and the outcome of your consultation.

  • The Sterex machine is perfect for precise, safe, and effective removal of skin blemishes, delivering excellent results with minimal discomfort and a quick recovery time. Cryopen Cryotherapy provides a fast, modern way to remove benign skin blemishes with precision and minimal discomfort.

 

frequently asked questions about blemish removal

 
  • Skin blemishes refer to a range of non-cancerous skin conditions that can affect the appearance of the skin. Among the various types of blemishes, Milia, Xanthelasma, Syringoma, Theread veins, Verruca and Warts, and Sebaceous Hyperplasia are some of the most commonly treated.

  • SKINLAB offers treatment for a wide range of skin blemishes, with each treatment carefully tailored to your individual needs through a thorough skin consultation. Depending on the type of skin blemish, we either use Sterex, Cryopen or IPL treatment.

    We treat:

    • Moles

    • Seborrhoeic Keratosis

    • Skin Tags

    • Milia

    • Warts

    • Verrucas

    • Blood spot

  • Warts and Verrucas are small, rough growths that appear on the skin, caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). While warts can develop on various parts of your body, verrucas specifically appear on the soles of your feet. Although they may look similar, they have distinct characteristics and can cause different levels of discomfort.

    Wart & Verruca removal is carried out by Sterex Treatment.

  • Seborrhoeic keratosis is a common, benign skin growth that often appears as a warty, brown or black spot, typically as a sign of aging. These growths are non-cancerous and usually develop in people over 40, becoming more frequent with age.

    Seborrhoeic Keratosis removal is carried out by Sterex Treatment.

  • Moles are common skin growths that appear as small, dark spots or bumps on the skin. They are caused by clusters of pigment-producing cells called melanocytes. Moles can be brown, black, or even pink, and they vary in size, shape, and texture. Most moles develop during childhood or adolescence, and it's normal for them to change slightly over time, especially during puberty or pregnancy.

    Mole reduction is carried out by Sterex Treatment.

  • Skin tags are small growths that hang off your skin. They can vary in colour and size – from a few millimetres up to 5cm wide and are usually found on the neck, armpits, around the groin, or under the breasts. They're common and harmless, but can be removed if they're bothering you.

  • Milia are tiny cysts that show up as white spots on the face. They're usually mistaken for whiteheads, but they're actually little pockets of keratin that have formed beneath the epidermis and frequently appear in clusters. Many people choose to get them removed, although they aren't dangerous.

  • Blood spots, also known as cherry angiomas, are very common skin growths that can appear on any part of the body. These small collections of blood vessels are typically red, circular in shape, and often very small. They can feel smooth and even with the skin or slightly raised. Blood spots most commonly appear on the arms, legs, torso, and shoulders, particularly in adults over the age of 30.

    Blood spot removal is carried out by Sterex treatment.

  • The Sterex machine is a precision device used in aesthetic treatments to safely and effectively remove various skin blemishes. Using advanced electrolysis technology, it delivers targeted energy to the blemish, ensuring minimal discomfort and no impact on surrounding healthy skin.

    The procedure is quick, with most patients experiencing only slight tingling, and there is minimal downtime, allowing you to resume daily activities immediately. The Sterex machine offers excellent results, leaving skin smooth and blemish-free.

  • Cryopen Cryotherapy works by releasing a precise, high-pressure jet of nitrous oxide (N₂O) onto the skin lesion. The extreme cold (-89°C) rapidly freezes the unwanted tissue, destroying the cells while leaving surrounding healthy skin untouched. The treated area then naturally sheds over the following days, revealing smooth, clear skin beneath. The treatment is quick, targeted, and involves minimal discomfort or downtime.

  • Both treatments effectively remove benign skin blemishes, but they work in different ways. Cryopen Cryotherapy uses controlled freezing to remove lesions in seconds, making it ideal for clients who prefer a fast, modern, and minimally invasive procedure. Sterex, on the other hand, uses advanced electrolysis to cauterise the blemish with a fine probe, offering precision control for delicate areas or specific skin types. During your consultation, your practitioner will advise which method best suits your skin and the type of blemish being treated.

It’s all about the consultation

Preparation

  • A consultation and patch test for blemish removal is usually required.

    The cost for this is £25 but is redeemable against treatment.

    PLEASE NOTE: Please be sure that you are booking in for the correct blemish removal. If we are unable to treat, the deposit is non refundable due to 30 minutes of clinic time being booked out for the appointment. However, if you proceed with treatment, the £25 consultation fee will be taken off your final treatment bill.

  • Avoid tanning, excessive sun exposure, and applying any harsh chemicals to the area to be treated.

  • On the day of the procedure, the area around the skin tag will be cleaned and prepared.

Aftercare

    • Reddening, swelling and sensitivity of the skin in the area for up to 48 hours.

    • The treated area and surrounding skin may feel hot for up to 48 hours.

    • Pin dot crusts or small scabs may appear in the treated area.

    • The skin may itch as the healing process takes place.

    • Pin dot crusts or scabs may appear which seal the skin and prevent infection.

    • These must not be rubbed or picked off, as to do so may result in scarring.

    • The Crusts or scabs are tiny and often are ‘felt’ rather than ‘seen’. - Do not touch, rub or irritate the treated area.

    • When washing and cleansing around the area, use a gentle soap or perfume free cleanser and gently pat the area dry to avoid dislodging any crusts or scabs.

    • Avoid activities for 48 hours that stimulate blood flow following vascular treatments, e.g. exercise, hot showers, hot baths, hot spicy foods and alcohol.

    • Avoid activities for 48 hours that may irritate or dislodge any crusts or scabs, e.g. swimming, saunas, steam rooms, facial steaming, facial scrubs, waxing and other beauty treatments until the area has completely healed.

    • Do not fly within 48 hours following a vascular treatment. - You must keep out of UV light completely during the healing process and as much as possible thereafter.

    • Once healed, cover and protect sun exposed areas using a good quality, high factor sunscreen at all times, particularly in the summer months.

    • Avoid the possible causes of vascular blemishes, for example, wearing tight fitting glasses, squeezing spots, careless or erratic tweezing or blowing nose too vigorously.

    • Avoid using any possible skin sensitisers or irritants such as perfumes, fake tan products or perfumed body lotions until skin is healed.

    • Should you have any concerns regarding your treatment please contact the salon/clinic or your Aesthetic Electrologist™
