Many people assume they need to see a dermatologist for skin blemish removal. While this is sometimes necessary, the types of blemishes I treat — such as skin tags, thread veins, xanthelasma, seborrhoeic keratosis,  milia and sebaceous hyperplasia — are very common and usually straightforward to identify and treat safely using Advanced Electrolysis.

Advanced Electrolysis is not the same as standard electrolysis for hair removal. It is a specialist treatment that requires detailed understanding of skin anatomy, accurate blemish recognition, and careful, precise use of equipment.

I hold a VTCT Level 5 qualification in Advanced Electrolysis, the highest qualification currently available for electrologists in the UK. This training allows me to assess a wide range of benign skin blemishes, treat them appropriately, and recognise when something may need medical referral instead.

Every appointment begins with a free consultation. This gives me time to look at the area properly, talk through your concerns, and explain what treatment would involve. There’s no pressure and no expectation to proceed — just clear, honest advice so you can decide what feels right for you.

It’s often possible to treat more than one blemish in a session, and people are often surprised by how much can be done in a single visit. How many sessions you’ll need depends on the type and size of the blemish, and this is something we’ll always talk through clearly during your consultation.

Precise treatment suitable for all skin types

Advanced Electrolysis allows for careful, targeted treatment, even in delicate or visible areas such as the face, eyelids and sensitive skin.

Because the treatment does not rely on pigment, it is suitable for all skin tones, including darker or more reactive skin. Settings are always adjusted to suit your skin, with comfort and safety prioritised throughout.
