Diathermy also known as blemish removal or advanced cosmetic procedure is a safe effective and quick treatment procedure that involves the removal of many skin blemishes or lesions. Commonly referred to as advanced electrolysis this treatment uses an alternating-current that vibrates causing water molecules found in the base of target tissue to become irritated. Heat is then produced which dries up the excess moisture living in the cells and the blood supply. This fluid then thickens, coagulates and destroys the target cell by means of cauterisation and decomposition.

Are there any side-effects?
For a few days post treatment, the area treated can be sensitive, redness may be apparent and possible swelling if larger lesions have been treated. Small crusts will often appear for a few days whilst the lesion treated heals. Providing that the after-care instruction is followed and no infection develops there should be no risks of any scarring. In some cases, a small pigmented mark can be visible where the lesion resided however, this will be minute and not normally even noticeable. All clients must inform their practitioner if they are prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, scarring such as keloid as these issues will either contra indicate or restrict the treatment from taking place.
