Advanced Blemish Removal
Say Goodbye to Unwanted Skin Blemishes
Advanced Electrolysis is a safe and effective method for removing a wide range of common skin blemishes. This precise treatment uses a tiny probe and short-wave diathermy (heat) to target and treat specific skin concerns with minimal discomfort or downtime. Whether you’re looking to remove thread veins, skin tags, milia, or other minor skin imperfections, electrolysis offers immediate and lasting results.
For certain blemishes such as clear or white moles, I work in partnership with Map My Mole. This service follows British Association of Dermatologists’ teledermatology guidelines, ensuring that every mole is reviewed by leading dermatology experts before removal. You’ll receive a clear report within a few days, giving you peace of mind and helping us determine whether removal is safe in-clinic or requires onward referral.
Key Benefits:
- Effectively treats a wide variety of skin blemishes
- Quick, targeted treatment with long-lasting results
- Minimal discomfort and downtime
- Safe and suitable for most skin types
- Boosts confidence with clearer, more even-toned skin
- Prevents blemishes from worsening or spreading
What it treats:
- Skin Tags
- Milia
- Blood spots (cherry angiomas)
- Common warts, cysts and verrucas
- Clear white moles
- Thread veins (telangiectasia & spider naevi)
- Seborrhoeic keratosis and Sebaceous hyperplasia
- Age spots and pigmentation
How It Works:
A sterile, fine probe is applied to the affected area, delivering a tiny burst of heat that breaks down the blemish without damaging surrounding skin. The treated area then naturally heals over the following days, leaving the skin clearer and smoother.
If a mole or lesion requires screening before removal, we’ll arrange this in-clinic using Map My Mole . High-resolution images are reviewed by dermatology specialists, and results are typically available within 1–2 working days.
Treatment Details
- Recommended sessions: Often a single treatment is enough, but some blemishes may require follow-up
- Treatment time: 15 to 30 minutes depending on the number and type of blemishes
- Downtime: Some swelling, tenderness, redness or scabbing may occur. Aftercare must be strictly followed.

Pre-Care
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning (including sunbeds) for at least 7 days before treatment, as tanned or sunburnt skin is more sensitive.
- Do not apply active skincare (e.g. retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, or exfoliants) to the area for 3 to 5 days prior.
- Avoid waxing, threading, or bleaching the treatment area for 5 days before your appointment.
- Do not use topical steroids or harsh acne treatments near the area for at least 7 days.
- Stay hydrated and moisturise the area regularly in the days leading up to your treatment to help support skin recovery.
- If you are prone to cold sores, speak to your practitioner beforehand, as a preventative may be recommended if treating the lip or surrounding area.
- Do not consume alcohol or caffeine on the day of your appointment, as this may increase skin sensitivity and the likelihood of bruising.
Post-Care
Immediately after treatment:
- Do not touch the treated area except when applying aftercare.
- Apply your bespoke aftercare preparation gently, morning and night, as advised. Let it fully absorb before applying moisturiser or makeup.
- Once the area is dry, makeup may be used if applied with clean cotton wool, a sterilised sponge, or freshly washed hands. Only use makeup from a tube—avoid compacts and sponges, which may carry bacteria.
- Do not pick, rub, or scratch the treated area. This could cause infection or scarring.
- If the sides of the nostrils were treated, avoid blowing your nose vigorously for several days.
- If the bridge of your nose was treated and you wear glasses, try to remove them when possible or place a clean tissue under the frame.
- Avoid getting any product into the eyes.
For 48 hours to 7 days post-treatment:
- Avoid energetic exercise, which may overstimulate the area and delay healing.
- Do not sunbathe or use sunbeds. Apply a high SPF daily for at least four weeks to prevent pigmentation.
- Avoid swimming—pool chemicals may irritate or contaminate the area.
- Stay away from heat treatments such as saunas, steam rooms, or infrared therapy.
- Avoid flying where possible, as cabin pressure may impact healing.

Emma is so professional and efficient and makes you feel completely at ease. She's very knowledgeable and creates a calm, welcoming space. The microneedling feels tingly but not at all painful & the aftercare and general skincare advice is really helpful and straightforward. I really rate the treatment and I think is helping my confidence. Thank you so much Emma ☺️🌸Posted on Google![]()

Emma came highly recommended to me. I initially went to see her for advice on my skincare regime and now receive regular microneedling from her. Over the course of the last 5 or 6 months, I have noticed a huge difference in my skin and its texture. Emma is incredibly knowledgeable and a complete professional. She explains every step of the treatment and the ingredients in the products she uses. I trust Emma implicitly with my skin.Posted on Google![]()

I have visited Emma 3 times for my botox and some filler in my lips and chin. Being anxious around needles, Emma has always been incredibly patient with me and takes the time to really listen to what I want to achieve. When it has come to my botox, she has made it clear what would work well for me, and never tried to over charge for areas that didn’t need adjustments. Not only is she patient, amazing at her job, but she’s also lovely as well and I would recommend her to anyone! I always leave incredibly happy with the work she has done for me. Thank you so much Emma. 😊Posted on Google![]()
