SUN/AGE SPOTS (LIVERSPOTS, SOLAR LENTIGINES)

Age or sunspots are changes in skin colour associated with older skin. They’re harmless flat brown discolorations which usually appear on the backs of the hands, neck and face and are a sign of over exposure to sunlight.

TREATMENT

A fine probe is used to gently lift and remove the top layer of the effected pigmented skin only, revealing the clear, non-pigmented skin below.

AFTER TREATMENT

Healing crusts will form on the area of treatment which will naturally fall away over the next few days as your own individual healing process takes place. The newly developed skin will initially appear pink or paler than the surrounding skin but overtime will normalise.Aftercare instructions are given and must be adhered to.

Hyperplasia Syringoma

These small ducts are caused by an overgrowth of the sweat glands. They most commonly appear around the eyes and look like milia but they are softer and usually oval with comma-like tails, unlike milia which are harder and round in shape. They can run in families and are (more frequently in women than in men) usually seen on the lower eyelids but can appear on the top eyelid too.

TREATMENT
The advantage of treating these blemishes with electrolysis is, that the process is very safe and accurate as only the affected area needs to be touched by gently scraping them away until gradual improvement is gained. Occasionally these small ducts can re-fill.

AFTER TREATMENT
Crusts will form on each area of treatment, these must be allowed to fall away naturally over the next few days. Hardly any markings are left.
Strict aftercare instructions are given and must be adhered to.
