Permanant Hair Removal and Removal of Minor Imperfections
What are the benefits of using Advanced Electrolysis for Minor Skin Imperfections?
A short wave diathermy or blend current is applied via the tip of a small probe and cauterizes the minor imperfection (such as skin tag), without touching the surrounding skin. In this way the surrounding skin is not exposed to unecessary trauma and has minimal risk of hyperpigmentation. The treatment is relatively brief and does not require the use of a local anaesthetic injection. Even fairly large tags and seborrheic warts can be treated in this way effectively. Electrolysis has also been used for many years as a tried and tested method of permanent hair removal.
Laser Hair Removal and Laser Cosmetic Treatments Information
There are frequent requests at the clinic for information on laser and IPL hair removal. The clinic at this time does not provide laser or IPL treatments but uses the Sterex Blend as its preferred method of permanent hair removal with an experienced and well qualified therapist.
For further information on laser and IPL treatments, please take a moment to visit the 'Which Guide' link to find out the standards you should look for in clinics providing laser and IPL treatments.
