What Is Advanced Electrolysis & What We Treat
at our beauty salon in Netley, Southampton
Advanced Electrolysis is a safe and effective treatment that removes common skin blemishes quickly and with minimal discomfort. It’s carried out by a highly trained professional using precise, gentle techniques.
We can help with the removal of:
- Skin tags
- Moles
- Warts
- Xanthelasma
- Milia (small white cysts)
- Thread veins / spider veins
- Other small, benign skin blemishes
It’s a straightforward treatment with no need for surgery, no stitches, and minimal downtime – just professional care and results you can trust.
As a fully insured skin specialist, registered with Eastleigh Council, you can relax knowing you’re in safe, professional hands.
How It Works
We keep the process simple, comfortable, and transparent:
1. Consultation
We begin with a friendly chat to assess your skin, answer your questions, and confirm the blemish is suitable for treatment.
2. Treatment
A fine, sterile probe delivers a tiny burst of heat directly to the blemish. This safely cauterises or dries it out without affecting the surrounding skin.
3. Healing
The area naturally heals over the next few days, revealing clearer, smoother skin.
4. Aftercare Support
You’ll receive full guidance to help your skin recover quickly and achieve the best results.
Most treatments are completed in a single session, with little to no downtime — so you can get back to your day feeling confident.
