While we can't promise to make every problem in your life go away, we can pack up quite a few of your troubles. This list gives you an overview of how we might be able to help.

Contrary to popular belief, acne isn't confined to teenagers. It can crop up at any time in life, and few things are so devastating to your self confidence. We can offer effective help in the form of Omnilux Blue, an FDA approved treatment, which is a non invasive & is proving an excellent substitute for antibiotics.

Blackheads occur when larger skin pores become blocked by the body's natural oils. Airborne dirt adheres to the oil, which then hardens to a noticeable black plug. This is most common on the nose, where the pores are naturally larger than elsewhere on the face. The blockage can lead to minor infections, resulting in pimples and swelling.

Now that Kylie Minogue has told the world that she has cellulite, hopefully the rest of us can feel a little less embarrassed about it. Cellulite is caused by fatty deposits distorting the skin's anchorage below the surface. Our main tools for dealing with cellulite are Endermologie and Thermoplast

Unwanted fat in certain parts of the body can be extremely stubborn and difficult to shed. Both Endermologie and Thermoplast provide highly effective solutions.

Hair from moles can be treated, though your GP's agreement must be obtained prior to treatment. We can provide solutions to the embarrassment they bring in the form of Advanced Electrolysis. Once treatment is started it is normal for the mole to reduce in size and colour. Hairs in moles are generally deep terminal hairs with a very rich blood & nerve supply to them. Repeat treatments, as with electrical epilation, will be required.

A Mole is simply a pigmented growth and they appear slightly velvety, but, unlike freckles they have a difference in change and texture to the surrounding skin. Normal moles are common small blemishes or growths on the skin that appear in the first few decades of life. The average young adult has about 25 moles and they usually appear as follows:

Shape Symmetrical round or oval

Border: sharp and well defined

Colour: usually one shade of tan, brown or skin colour

Diameter: usually less than 1/4th inch

Location: concentrated on sun exposed skin of the face, trunk arms and legs

Onset: usually during early childhood through to mid twenties

Uniformity: most normal moles on the body look very similar.

Any unusual or atypical moles can be markers for an increased risk of melanoma. Any
enlargement, variation or irregularity, bleeding, inflammation, elevation, softening or hardening, swelling, crusting, oozing or ulceration or any mole that undergoes a significant change in size, shape or colour or causes symptoms of itching or burning should be treated as suspect, the client should immediately be referred to an expert.

We can make you look years younger by using our range of gentle skin toning techniques. In particular, Cosmolight and Omnilux Revive can provide rapid and lasting results.

These are tiny white lipid-epithelium plugs. Their exact cause is unknown although they are often related to diet with a high cholesterol count, excessive Vitamin C, a too rich moisturising cream and also associated with dry skin which can be acidic. They contain keratin and sometimes get quite hard. They lie very superficially under the skin and are very easy to treat with Advanced Electrolysis.

Benign Cutaneous Tumours

Warts

There are various types of warts, including flat (plane), raised (common) and verrucas (plantar). They are benign epidermal tumours or epidermal proliferation of viral origin which are contagious (human papilloma virus) and all can be treated. Warts can develop individually or in clusters and can spontaneously disappear. The black dot sometimes visible within is capillaries. Flat warts occur mostly on the face, backs of hands and wrists. Hygiene must be of the highest importance to avoid cross infection and If not treated they may spread. Basal Cell Papilloma, Seborrhoeic Keratosis and Seborrhoeic Warts are all benign proliferation of epidermal cells and are easily treated by advanced techniques although it is advisable to obtain the GP’s agreement. These become more common with increasing age. They are seen as raised and appear frequently as several lesions on covered body sites and are also quite common on the face in older people. They are usually brown because of melanin and so can be mistaken for moles. The superficial ‘stuck on’ appearance is a helpful diagnosis point. They can be tiny or large even up to two inches across. Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra is peculiar to black skin and is a common papular disorder which develops in adolescence. The lesions are histologically identical to seborrhhoeic keratosis being smooth, dome shaped, brown to black papules and seen mainly on the cheeks, neck and upper chest. Treated by Advanced Electrolysis.

Fibroepithelial polyp/papilloma and Filiform warts.

A common fibrous skin condition most frequently found on the neck and face. The tags form a single or multiple distribution being made up of loose fibrous tissue. The colour is often hyper-pigmented making them more obvious. Skin tags or papilomas are derived from epithelial cells. They grow resembling a plum on a plum tree and often appear with a neck
like a mushroom and vary in size from a tiny Elaine Stoddart from Sterex Electrolysis guides us through the complexities of this fascinating subject speck, smaller than a grain of uncooked rice, to the size of a large pea or larger. They are viral in nature and whilst not infectious they do seem to spread on individuals. They are commonly found in areas of friction such as the axillae and under the breasts. Treated with Advanced Electrolysis.

Facial

The correct terminology is Telangiectasia. This word is from the Greek language meaning end vessel dilation’ and is pronounced tel ANGE ek TA sia. These are not broken capillaries although everyone terms them as such, but rather permanently dilated capillaries. The very thin walls – just one cell thick, of the fine facial capillaries dilate and constrict constantly throughout life, and as we age, they loose their elasticity and the ability to constrict and can become permanently dilated.

What causes them?

In addition to aging causes for Facial Telangiectasia are numerous ranging from hereditary, pregnancy, the rubbing of spectacles, smoking, energetic sports, temperature extremes
and harsh weather exposure, hormones, skin fragility and fine fragile sensitive skin, even
constipation can be responsible. They are very commonly seen in a maturing ‘English rose’
complexion.

Campbell de Morgan Spots

Known as Cherry angioma (plural angiomata) and they are a vascular blemish where it is not possible to distinguish individual capillaries. They are dome shaped or raised with unknown origin and are most common on the trunk or torso and particularly the midriff back or front and in the middle aged and elderly client. Most people aged over 30 have at least one and they are even more common in men than women.

Spider Naevi

Naevus is a collective name of vascular and pigmented birthmarks. A coloured malformation
of the skin resulting from a congenital alteration of pigment or dilation of superficial capillaries. A Spider Naevi or Telangiectasia Angioma is a central dilated blood vessel, with smaller capillaries radiating from it like the legs of a spider. Spider naevi may be found in isolation or gathered together in clumps on such areas as the cheeks, and usually do not develop until adult life although children can suffer from them. Certain conditions can make spider naevus worse and they include such things as extreme heat and cold, obesity, pregnancy or stress or pressure on the area. Several spider naevus appearing spontaneously is a cause for concern as it could indicate liver disease.

Can all be very successfully treated by Advanced Electrolysis

We all want a good growth of hair on our heads, and not too much anywhere else. Our range of treatments varies according to the area to be treated and the effect you want. Epilight is our first choice as its effectiveness and results are vastly superior to traditional techniques such as waxing or electrolysis. though we do appreciate that not everyone wants the permanent soltion of removal and electrolysis is still the preffered method for white hair removal due to the lack of melanin in the hair and therefore the reduced effectiveness of the epilight system in this instance.
