Advanced Blemish Removal in Lower Stondon, Bedfordshire

Removal of Moles

At Shamrock Clinic in Lower Stondon, Bedfordshire, specialist Ann Gibbons provides advanced blemish removal using professional electrolysis techniques designed to safely and effectively treat a wide range of common skin concerns.

Many people feel self-conscious about visible skin blemishes such as skin tags, thread veins, milia or warts, particularly when they appear on the face, neck or other exposed areas. While these blemishes are usually harmless, they can affect confidence and make you feel uncomfortable in your own skin.

With modern Sterex electrolysis technology and years of specialist training, Ann offers precise, minimally invasive treatment with little downtime. Every client receives a private consultation to ensure treatment is suitable, safe and tailored to their individual skin.

What Is Advanced Blemish Removal?

Advanced blemish removal is a minimally invasive treatment using electrolysis and high-frequency energy to safely treat a wide range of common skin lesions.

This method has been used in medical practice for over a century and has significantly advanced with modern technology. Today it is considered one of the most precise and effective ways to remove superficial skin blemishes.

Treatment is suitable for many cosmetic skin concerns and offers:

  • Minimal downtime
  • Controlled, targeted treatment
  • Fast visible improvement
  • Safe and professional application

A full consultation with Ann Gibbons at Shamrock Clinic is always required before treatment.

Examining Skin Cancer

Skin Blemishes We Treat

At our Lower Stondon clinic, we treat a comprehensive range of cosmetic skin lesions. Each treatment is carefully assessed to ensure the best possible outcome with minimal skin reaction.

Thread Veins (Broken Capillaries)

Thread veins, sometimes called broken capillaries, are small red or purple blood vessels that become visible just beneath the surface of the skin. They most commonly appear on the cheeks and nose and can develop due to ageing, sun exposure, hormonal changes or genetics.

Using advanced electrolysis, these tiny vessels can be carefully cauterised, causing them to collapse and gradually fade from view. Treatment is quick, precise and highly effective for restoring a clearer complexion.

Blood Spots (Cherry Angiomas)

Blood spots are small, bright red vascular blemishes that often appear on the torso but can develop anywhere on the body. They are extremely common, especially from the age of 30 onwards.

Although harmless, many clients choose removal for cosmetic reasons. Electrolysis allows these blemishes to be safely treated, often with immediate visible improvement.

Spider Naevus

A spider naevus consists of a central red blood vessel with smaller vessels radiating outward, resembling a spider’s legs. These are commonly found on the face and upper body.

Treatment targets the central feeding vessel, which causes the surrounding capillaries to diminish. The procedure is precise and typically well tolerated.

Skin Tags

Skin tags are soft, flesh-coloured growths that often develop in areas of friction such as the neck, underarms, under the breasts or groin. While completely benign, they can catch on clothing or jewellery and become irritated.

Electrolysis provides a safe and controlled way to remove skin tags with minimal discomfort and downtime, leaving the skin smoother and clearer.

Milia

Milia are small, white keratin-filled cysts that sit just beneath the skin’s surface. They are commonly found around the eyes and cheeks and can be persistent if left untreated.

Using advanced techniques, milia can be carefully released and removed, improving skin texture and appearance.

Warts and Verrucas

We treat various types of warts including common warts, plane warts and filiform warts. These can develop individually or in clusters and may spread if left untreated.

Advanced electrolysis works by targeting the affected tissue with controlled energy, helping to safely eliminate the lesion.

Seborrhoeic Keratosis (Seb K’s)

We treat various types of warts including common warts, plane warts and filiform warts. These can develop individually or in clusters and may spread if left untreated.

Advanced electrolysis works by targeting the affected tissue with controlled energy, helping to safely eliminate the lesion.

Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN)

DPN presents as small, smooth, dark papules commonly seen on darker skin tones, particularly on the cheeks and neck.

These can be safely treated with electrolysis, offering cosmetic improvement while respecting the unique characteristics of the skin.

Hairs in Moles

Some moles produce deep, coarse hairs due to a rich blood supply beneath the surface. These hairs can be effectively treated using electrolysis, and in some cases the mole may also appear lighter or slightly reduced in size over time.

Suitability will always be assessed carefully during consultation.

How Blemish Removal Treatment Works

Using high-frequency electrolysis, the blemish is gently cauterised or dehydrated. This controlled process allows the lesion to be reduced or removed with precision.

The treatment:

  • Targets only the affected area
  • Protects surrounding tissue
  • Promotes natural healing

Results are often immediate, although healing time varies depending on the type and size of the blemish

Cryotherapy for Blemish Removal

In addition to advanced electrolysis, Shamrock Clinic in Lower Stondon, Bedfordshire also offers cryotherapy as an effective treatment option for certain types of skin blemishes.

Cryotherapy works by applying a controlled burst of extremely cold temperature directly to the blemish. This freezes the targeted tissue, causing the unwanted lesion to break down and naturally shed over the following days.

Cryotherapy can be particularly suitable for:

  • Skin tags
  • Warts and verrucas
  • Seborrhoeic keratoses
  • Age spots
  • Certain superficial benign lesions

The treatment is quick, minimally invasive and typically well tolerated. Most appointments take only a few minutes depending on the size and number of blemishes being treated.

Blemish Removal Prices from £15

Treatment prices at Shamrock Clinic in Lower Stondon, Bedfordshire start from £15, depending on the type, size and number of blemishes being treated.

A consultation is always required before treatment to assess suitability, discuss expected outcomes and create a safe treatment plan.

Because every blemish is different, final pricing will be confirmed during your consultation with Ann Gibbons.

Some blemishes can be successfully treated in a single session, particularly smaller lesions such as skin tags or blood spots. However, larger or deeper blemishes may require more than one treatment to achieve the best cosmetic result. During your consultation, Ann will explain what to expect based on your specific skin concern and create a safe treatment plan tailored to you.

Most clients describe the sensation as a mild stinging or warming feeling that is brief and manageable. Because the treatment is highly targeted and precise, discomfort is usually minimal and short-lived. If you are concerned about sensitivity, this can be discussed during your consultation.

Once a blemish has been successfully treated, it should not return. However, new blemishes can develop over time due to factors such as ageing, genetics, sun exposure or hormonal changes. Your consultation will include advice on maintaining healthy skin and reducing future risk where possible.

Following treatment, you may experience slight redness, minor swelling or light scabbing depending on the type of blemish treated. These effects are usually temporary and form part of the normal healing process. Aftercare guidance will be provided to support optimal healing.

Not all moles are suitable for cosmetic treatment. For safety reasons, certain types of pigmented lesions may need medical evaluation before any cosmetic procedure is considered. Ann will carefully assess your mole during consultation and advise you appropriately.
