Book Your ConsultationClearer, smoother skin, one blemish at a time
Skin blemishes can dent your confidence. Many have an underlying cause, from genetics, harsh weather and changes in temperature to smoking, pregnancy and childbirth, spicy food or even wearing glasses, so Shannon looks at what is behind yours as well as treating it.
Advanced electrolysis uses Sterex short wave diathermy. A fine, sterile needle conducts a gentle current and is tapped onto the blemish or used to gently scrape or pierce the skin, so a wide range of blemishes can be treated precisely.

Skin tag removalHow advanced electrolysis works
Every treatment begins with a consultation and patch test, so Shannon understands your skin and can recommend the most effective approach.
Each blemish is targeted individually with a fine, sterile probe, and most clients carry on with their day straight after treatment.
Consultation and patch test
Shannon looks at your blemishes, asks about possible causes and carries out a patch test to plan your treatment.
Your treatment
A fine, sterile probe delivers a gentle current to each blemish. Most clients feel a mild warmth with a pinprick or tapping sensation.
Healing
Any swelling or warmth usually fades within hours or days. Following your aftercare helps the skin recover quickly.
Aftercare and results
Straight after treatment the area may look a little swollen or feel warm, which typically settles within hours or days.
Looking after your skin

Follow Shannon’s aftercare advice to help your skin settle more quickly.
Protect your skin with SPF whenever you’re outdoors.

Skin blemish questions answered
Is the treatment painful?
Discomfort varies from person to person. A patch test is done first so the approach can be adjusted, and most clients describe a mild warmth with a pinprick or tapping sensation.

You may notice some swelling or warmth straight afterwards. This typically fades within hours or days, depending on your sensitivity, and following your aftercare helps it settle sooner.

A treated blemish won’t return, but new ones can appear depending on the underlying cause. Shannon will give you guidance on preventing them at your consultation.
How much does treatment cost?
Your consultation includes a patch test, and ongoing costs are on the price list. Shannon will give you a clear treatment plan with the full cost at your consultation.
