AFTERCARE ADVICE​ FOR Advanced Cosmetic Procedures.

  • Pin dot crusts or scabs may appear to 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 may be indistinguishable and ‘felt’ rather than ‘seen’.
  • Do not touch, rub or irritate the treated area. When washing and cleansing, use a gentle soap or perfume free cleanser and gently pat the area dry to avoid dislodging any crusts or scabs.
  • Avoid any activities for 48 hours that stimulate blood flow following vascular treatments, e.g., exercise, hot showers/baths, hot spicy foods and alcohol.
  • Avoid activities for 48 hours that may irritate or dislodge any crusting or minor scabbing 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 the next 48 hours following vascular treatment.
  • Please keep out of UV light completely during the healing process and as much as possibly generally. Cover up with hat or parasol and protect sun exposed areas by using a good quality high factor sunscreen at all times particularly in summer months.
  • Avoid the possible causes of vascular blemishes, for example, wearing tight fitting glasses, squeezing spots, careless or erratic tweezing or blowing nose to vigorously.
  • Avoid using any possible skin sensitisers or irritants such as perfumes, fake tan products and perfumed body lotions.

Complications and Side Effects of Advanced Cosmetic Procedures

All treatments have possible side effects and risks.

The risks of Electrolysis and Advanced Cosmetic Procedures include:
  • Minor skin pigmentation,
  • Hyperpigmentation (increased pigmentation),
  • Hypopigmentation(a lack of pigment in skin),
  • Tissue damage,
  • Redness or swelling that may or may not prove permanent,
  • There is also a very rare risk of infection which may result in scarring.

Your QuestionsAnswered

Electrolysis is a treatment used to destroy hair roots and follicles, or small skin blemishes, through the application of heat produced by a tiny electrical current that is passed through a needle.

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 current is discharged. This ‘dries up’ the vessel which often disappears as it is being treated. Further treatments may be necessary depending on the severity of the problem.

A treatment is usually 30 minutes, but can take up to one hour, depending on the size of the area being treated. You may need more than one treatment, depending on the extent of the skin blemish and how well it resolves after one treatment session.

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 and how many treatments are required? ACP 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. The area worked must not be over treated and your skin reactivity will be taken into account. Spacing technique and treatment intervals will be considered in a treatment plan as well as your requirements, needs and wishes.

After treatment the skin will be a little red and puffy, but this will settle down in a few hours. There may also be some small healing scabs which must be allowed to fall off naturally. Care must be taken of the skin for 48 hours following treatment.

  • Hypopigmentation(a lack of pigment in skin),
