blemish Removal

Skin blemishes refer to a range of non-cancerous skin conditions that can affect the appearance of the skin. Among the various types of blemishes, Milia, Xanthelasma, Syringoma, Theread veins, Verruca and Warts, and Sebaceous Hyperplasia are some of the most commonly treated.

Xanthelasma are yellowish, soft, and painless lumps that typically appear around the eyes, especially near the eyelids. They are made up of fatty deposits that accumulate under the skin, often forming in small clusters. While these growths are generally harmless, generally people seek removal for aesthetic reasons.

Xanthelasma is most commonly found in individuals over the age of 40, though they can appear at any age. They are more prevalent in people with high cholesterol or lipid imbalances, as the fatty deposits are thought to be linked to these conditions. However, they can also occur in individuals with normal cholesterol levels, suggesting that genetics may play a significant role in their development.

Often mixed up with Milia, Syringomas are sweat gland growths that appear as small, flesh-colored or slightly yellowish bumps on the skin. They typically form around the eyes, especially on the eyelids, but can also appear on the cheeks, chest, and abdomen. These tiny bumps are often multiple, appearing in clusters, and can vary in size.

Syringomas are caused by the abnormal growth of the sweat ducts, and they are most commonly seen in young adults, particularly in women. They are typically harmless and do not cause any pain or discomfort.

Sebaceous Hyperplasia is a skin condition where the sebaceous glands, responsible for producing oil, become enlarged. This leads to small, flesh-colored or yellowish bumps that commonly appear on the face, particularly on the forehead, nose, and cheeks. The bumps are typically smooth and have a central dimple or indentation.

This condition is most often seen in older adults, particularly those over the age of 40, and is a natural part of the aging process. As we age, the sebaceous glands can enlarge due to changes in hormone levels, which can lead to the formation of these small growths.

Warts and Verrucas are small, rough growths that appear on the skin, caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). While warts can develop on various parts of your body, verrucas specifically appear on the soles of your feet. Although they may look similar, they have distinct characteristics and can cause different levels of discomfort. Another type of skin blemish is Seborrhoeic Keratosis. These warty growths that typically appear as part of the natural aging process, often on the face, chest, or back. Unlike warts and verrucas, Seborrhoeic Keratosis is not caused by a virus but are associated with skin aging and can become more common as you get older.

Seborrhoeic keratosis is a common, benign skin growth that often appears as a warty, brown or black spot, typically as a sign of aging. These growths are non-cancerous and usually develop in people over 40, becoming more frequent with age. While the exact cause isn't fully understood, genetic factors, sun exposure, and skin friction may contribute to their development

Moles are common skin growths that appear as small, dark spots or bumps on the skin. They are caused by clusters of pigment-producing cells called melanocytes. Moles can be brown, black, or even pink, and they vary in size, shape, and texture. Most moles develop during childhood or adolescence, and it's normal for them to change slightly over time, especially during puberty or pregnancy.

Skin tags are small growths that hang off your skin. They can vary in colour and size – from a few millimetres up to 5cm wide and are usually found on the neck, armpits, around the groin, or under the breasts. They're common and harmless, but can be removed if they're bothering you.

Pigmentation is the natural colour of a person’s skin. Hyperpigmentation is a common condition which makes some areas of the skin appear darker than others. These marks are also referred to as sun spots. Pigmentation marks and sun spots are most commonly located on the face and hands.

Pigmentation removal is carried out by IPL treatment.

Milia are tiny cysts that show up as white spots on the face. They're usually mistaken for whiteheads, but they're actually little pockets of keratin that have formed beneath the epidermis and frequently appear in clusters. Many people choose to get them removed, although they aren't dangerous.

Blood spots, also known as cherry angiomas, are very common skin growths that can appear on any part of the body. These small collections of blood vessels are typically red, circular in shape, and often very small. They can feel smooth and even with the skin or slightly raised. Blood spots most commonly appear on the arms, legs, torso, and shoulders, particularly in adults over the age of 30.

Medically known as Telangiectasia, thread veins can become visible as the small blood vessels become dilated. Thread veins normally appear slightly red in colour, but depending on size they can look purple or sometimes even green.

Thread veins, also referred to as spider veins, are an extremely common problem that affects 88% of women and 79% of men. Thread veins are regular veins, but they are visible as they grow to a much larger size than regular veins. Thread veins cause no pain and are not medically required to be removed. However, some people opt for removal treatment as they consider them undesirable.

Thread Vein removal is carried out by IPL treatment.

WHAT IS INTENSE PULSED LIGHT (IPL) THERAPY?

IPL in skincare refers to Intense Pulsed Light therapy. It is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses high-intensity light to improve the appearance of various skin issues, such as rosacea, sun damage, age spots, and uneven skin tone.

The procedure works by delivering intense pulses of light into the skin, which are absorbed by the target cells and cause them to break down, leading to a more youthful and even complexion. IPL is a safe and effective way to rejuvenate and even out the skin tone, with little to no downtime.

IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) uses high-intensity light pulses to treat a range of skin concerns, improving skin tone and texture. Sterex employs electrolysis technology for precise, targeted treatments, ideal for removing skin tags, moles, and other localised blemishes.

Both treatments are effective and tailored to your skin's needs, offering safe and reliable solutions for various skin concerns.
