It may also be used for Skin Tags, Blood Spots, Seborrheic Keratosis and Milia. is commonly known as advanced electrolysis and has traditionally been carried out by beauty therapists who have initially qualified in electrolysis hair removal and then moved into this area of advanced practice. However with the rapid growth of the clinical aesthetic industry these treatment are now carried out by aesthetic doctors, nurses, dentists or those with other suitable clinical backgrounds. How it works This technique has been used medically for decades and uses liquid Nitrogen or Nitrous Oxide gas to freeze the unwanted tissue and so destroy it. What does the treatment involve? Does it hurt? The area to be treated will be wiped with a skin sanitising solution. Your practitioner will show you the cryotherapy device which looks like a large pen. The nitrous oxide gas will flow in a narrow jet for the end of the pen and you will see it a cloudy white jet. You may also hear a quiet hissing noise. AS the treatment is applied to your skin you will feel a mild sharpness and a cold burning sensation a little like an burn when – you hold an ice cube. Immediately the tissue being treated will turn white as the frosting takes place. What are the side effects? For a few days the area treated will be sensitive, show redness and a little swelling and for the deeper lesions there may be scabbing. In cases of deeper treatment there may be slight blistering but it is essential that you do not burst these blisters infection may then occur. However provided that the correct aftercare instruction is followed in all cases, and no infection is allowed to develop, the risks of any scarring are minimal. Some of the deeper lesions may however leave a feint residual pink mark on lighter skins or a deeper pigmented area on darker skins. You must notify the training centre / your practitioner if you are prone to post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, raised scarring or keloid scarring as these issues will either contraindicate or restrict your treatment.
