You need to buy and then apply a topical local anaesthetic cream (like Emla or Numb It from chemist) to areas for 30 mins

The procedure uses a fine electrolysis probe to carefully cauterise and remove the lesions. Mostly numbing cream is not necessary depending on the amount of lesions needing removal however it is up to you if you choose not to use numbing agents

You will need to apply your numbing cream 30 mins prior to your appointment time.

Do not leave your cream on the skin for longer than 50 mins as it may lose its effectiveness.

Consult your local pharmacist for advice as to which numbing cream would be most effective and safe for you to use.

A mild stinging or heat sensation can be felt and is usually well tolerated by most people

Afterwards mild localised redness and a little swelling is present in treated areas for the first 48 hours, after which a small dark crust or scab appears over the treated areas

The scabs/crusts will fall off in a few weeks to a month of treatment, and a pink patch of skin will be underneath which takes 4-12 weeks to continue healing

During the healing time the new forming skin will be delicate so treat the skin with care, washing with a mild soap or cleanser (gentle soaps & cleansers are available in salon)

Ensure that the skin is NOT exposed to the sun, saunas, pools or spas until it is fully healed. Always ensure that 50+ SPF is used over the areas and cover up with clothing and hat

Using the recommended aftercare and following the guidelines below will aid you in a speedy healing for your skin. It is recommended that you add 20 min Red LED Light Therapy to increase collagen and promote faster healing.

You may need to purchase some aftercare at the initial appointment to assist your skin's healing and provide you with the best possible outcome for your treatment

A highly recommended cream, Astringent cream, contains ingredients to encourage your skin's healing abilities with ingredients such as clove oil, arnica, monolaurin, horse chestnut, organic tallow and herbal tinctures. $40 - 50g tub

The other highly recommended aftercare product is TK Balm, in a beeswax base with essential oils of Chamomile, Kunzea and Tea Tree in a mild formulation which has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. $25 - 50g tub

Often its difficult to estimate how much time the appointment will require. It depends on the amount of lesions to be removed as well as size of lesions and complexity

For approx 8-10 lesions it could take approx 10 mins depending on complexity and size of lesions. Each person is unique and your treatment will be tailored to your specific needs.

The therapist can assess your skin tags, lesions and capillaries when you arrive at the salon. If you need more time you can rebook at the end of your appointment for another time.
