Electrolysis is for more than permanent hair removal - it's also been used since the early 1900s for treating skin imperfections!

Advanced Electrolysis is a process that will improve your skin’s appearance by reducing or eliminating unwanted skin imperfections. Here are 9 skin imperfections that can be removed or reduced using Advanced Electrolysis:

1. Skin Tags are benign flaps of skin. They are usually darker in colour than your skin and are often found on the neck or underarms. Skin tags can be flat or protruding.

Common Causes
Skin tags are found on women and men of all ages. They are thought to appear on areas of the skin prone to rubbing against skin or clothing. Being overweight also increases the occurrence of skin tags.

2. Spider veins, aka Telangiectasia, Thread veins, visible facial capillaries are dilated capillaries that have lost their elasticity and become permanently enlarged. They may form as lines or as dots of redness. The name “spider veins” is given for the spider-like appearance of some—with red centers and little tentacles emerging from the middle.

Common Causes

Spider veins often concentrate on the nose, cheeks and chin. The main causes are sun damage, injury, medication and aging. Nearly all fair-skinned people are prone to these dilated blood capillaries, which gradually start appearing in their mid-thirties.

3. Cherry angiomas aka blood spots, ruby points and Campbell spots, Spider Angiomas 

Cherry angiomas are the most common vascular lesion. They consist of highly concentrated dilated capillaries and can be flat to the skin or larger and slightly raised. Their appearance is a cherry red to purplish colour. Spider Angiomas (spider naevus) are a combination of a cherry angioma in the center and dilated capillaries that radiate outwards similar to a spider web. 

Common Causes

Cherry angiomas usually appear as we age and typically start out as a small red dot, although they can grow up to a few centimeters in diameter. They are very common and can be found on many areas of the body but are most common on the torso. They usually occur on fair-skinned people and are a hereditary trait.

4. Milia are tiny white bumps on the skin that look like whiteheads and are often found around the eyes and nose. They are keratin-filled cysts, which feel like a grain of sand under your skin. They don’t have an opening at the surface so they can’t be extracted like whiteheads.

Common Causes
Milia can be found on babies and people of all ages. They can be a hereditary trait. Some milia will disappear without treatment, and exfoliating can also help. Others are often persistent and need to be extracted by a professional.
