Diathermy or Removal of Vascular Lesions

Diathermy or Removal of Vascular Lesions, such as superficial red capillaries, telangiectasia, spider veins, thread veins, cherry angiomas, red moles & vascular blemish via Electrolysis

 

Electrolysis is effective for Face, Neck, Chest & décolletage as long as they are bright red "thread" like, or small dots or "spiders".

Recurring of the vascular lesions is highly possible especially in the legs, when comparing to face, neck, chest & décolletage. This is due to movement because we use our legs, but not the chest, to walk.

 

Electrolysis doesn't work effectively to remove Purple Veins neither cause they are deeper than red finer more superficial ones (arteries).

The key to getting the best value for your money & the optimal result is to strictly follow the instructions below.

Before booking, please contact us to discuss about your health information if you have at least one of the following health conditions:

Electrolysis treatments aren't for everyone.

-- People with the following health conditions must avoid Electrolysis treatments: active skin disease, implanted Pacemakers, lack of skin/temperature sensation, keloid scarring, history of skin cancer, poor peripheral perfusion, during hormonal therapy or any other infectious diseases.

-- A certificate from your doctor is required before commencing Electrolysis treatment when you have suffered from at least one of the following health conditions: diabetes, high blood pressure, epilepsy, moles in area to be treated, metal implants in body (eg birth control IUD, metal staples in the chest, screws, pins or plates to repair broken bones or etc.), haemophilia, pregnancy, trying to conceive, during breastfeeding, on blood thinning medications or recovering from a recent operation.

-- A certificate from your doctor is required before I can remove hair from your moles or pigment-producing skin cells to prove that you have had those areas checked and they are not cancerous. Brief info for skin cancer, click here

-- Tattoos must be at least 6 months old before the electrolysis treatment can begin on such area.

-- Avoid this treatment when your skin is still inflamed or sensitive, such as from current irritation/ inflammation &/or recently physical exfoliation, chemical peeling, laser treatments and etc.

*** Please inform us of any changes of your health condition and medications when booking and before the treatment procedure. ***

BEFORE COMING TO EACH APPOINTMENT:
- Please DO NOT use numbing cream cause it makes capillaries disappear, thus we cannot treat you because we cannot see them.

- Please DO NOT take aspirin or ibuprofen (such as Advil) at least 24 hrs before and after the treatment.
- Please DO NOT consume any coffee, caffeine or energy drinks for at least 4 hrs before the treatment. This increases your pain level.
- Please wear loose clothing for area you wish to be treated. Clothes made from natural fabric such as cotton or linen are preferred.
- Please have such skin area clean and free from moisturiser, make-up, deodorant, perfume and etc. before starting the treatment and at least 72 hrs after the treatment.
- Please do not wear any naked metals such as jewellery during the electrolysis treatment.
- No sunburn, tanning or artificial tanning in the area you wish to be treated.

 

 

WHAT TO EXPECT:
- There may be some swelling after treatment, but it will be minimal and resolves quickly.
- Some erythema (redness) may be present and could last for a day or two.

AFTER YOUR TREATMENT:

*** LEAVE THE TREATED AREA ALONE & DO AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE AFTER THE TREATMENT. DO NOT stretch or move your skin from side to side & up or down (please do not move your skin leave it alone!) in attempt to see what has been done. ***

- For at least 72 hrs following treatment, instead of DO NOT WASH, please wash your face or other treated area SUPER gently by tapping & NOT rubbing

*** Moving treated skin will greatly undermine the treatment.*** This is to minimise recurring; blood is encouraged to flow back to the treated area every time it moves.

- Do not exercise for at least 72 hrs after the treatment.

- Avoid excessive heat/sweating and anything that raises body temperature for first 72 hours after the procedure. Cold or Lukewarm showers are ok (& Avoid HOT baths/showers)

- To prevent infection, the treated area should not be exposed. No swimming, saunas, hot baths and contact sports until the treated area is healed.
- Please DO NOT scratch if scabs. Let them fall naturally. Interference of scabs can lead to scarring/permanent mark.

- Avoid sources of friction and rubbing on treated area/site for 72 hours after the procedure. Please wear loose clothing. Do not wear tight/chafing cloths.

- Please wear sunblock at all time. But at least 72 hrs after the treatment, apply this carefully & DO NOT rub the area.

Mineral or physical sunscreens (especially those containing zinc oxide as active ingredient) are better than those containing other chemicals or organic compounds. The reason is that mineral sunscreens act similarly to aluminum foil reflecting UV light, blocking it from entering into our skin, whereas other sunscreens allow light to absorb/enter/penetrate into our skin and we don't want this to happen in the first place, right? Additionally, zinc is anti-inflammatory & anti-microbial.

 

- About 72 hrs after the treatment you can resume your regular routine.

Note to therapists:

- Before treating, each lesion must appear red and press on each lesion to ensure it refill with blood. If not, do not treat. Starting point is to treat each lesion from where it starts to refill with blood.

- Please ensure the end point is just disappearance of the treated red capillaries. Blanching or turning whitish of treated capillaries indicate overtreatment.

- No permanent scar when either one of epidermis or dermis injured. Permanent scar develops when at least both skin layers damaged.

• For treating skin blemish, treat very superficial epidermis only. If any deeper involved, clients might develop permanent marks.
• For hair removal, we destruct hair follicles in the dermis only; top epidermis layer must not be injured.
