How Advanced Electrolysis works
A short current is delivered through a very fine probe to treat the individual blemish, with minimal disruption to the surrounding skin. Several blemishes can often be treated in one appointment.

- Clients wanting precise, blemish-by-blemish treatment
When it isn't suitable
- Any lesion that has changed in size, shape or colour — see your GP first
- Pregnancy
- Pacemakers or certain implanted devices
Downtime and aftercare
Small crusts or pinpoint scabs are normal for several days and must be left to heal naturally.
- Do not pick or cover crusting
- Keep the area clean and dry for 24 hours
- No make-up over treated blemishes until healed
- Daily SPF on treated areas
What it cannot do
Some blemishes need more than one visit, and thread veins can recur. Advanced electrolysis is a cosmetic treatment and never a diagnosis — any suspicious lesion is referred to your GP.

Advanced Electrolysis: common questions
Do I need a consultation before advanced electrolysis?
Yes. A separate consultation and patch test appointment is required so suitability, healing and realistic expectations can be discussed first.
Does it leave a mark?
Small crusts form and settle over several days. Following the aftercare instructions, especially not picking, gives the best healing.
