Diathermy

Scarring is uncommon when diathermy is performed correctly and aftercare advice is followed. The treatment is highly precise, helping to minimise trauma to the surrounding skin while achieving effective results.

Yes. Diathermy is considered a safe and effective treatment when performed by a trained practitioner. A consultation is always completed beforehand to ensure the treatment is appropriate for your skin concern.

After treatment, keep the area clean and dry, avoid picking any scabs or crusting, and protect the skin from sun exposure using a high SPF. Following the aftercare advice provided will help support optimal healing.

Before treatment, avoid excessive sun exposure, fake tan and harsh skincare products on the treatment area. A consultation will be carried out to assess suitability and discuss any preparation required.

Downtime is usually minimal. The treated area may appear slightly red, swollen or form a small crust or scab as part of the normal healing process. This typically resolves over the following days or weeks.

Results vary depending on the condition being treated, but many clients notice a significant improvement or complete removal of the treated lesion once the skin has healed.

Many lesions can be successfully treated in a single session. However, larger, deeper or multiple lesions may require additional treatments to achieve the best results.

Treatment time varies depending on the size and number of lesions being treated. Most appointments take between 15 and 45 minutes.

Diathermy can be used on many areas of the face and body, including the cheeks, nose, chin, neck, chest and other areas affected by small vascular lesions or skin imperfections.

Most clients find diathermy very tolerable. You may experience a brief stinging, warming or prickling sensation during treatment, but the procedure is quick and discomfort is usually minimal.

Diathermy can be used to treat: Thread veins (telangiectasia) Spider naevi Cherry angiomas Skin tags Milia Blood spots Small vascular lesions Certain benign skin imperfections

Diathermy works by delivering a small electrical current through a fine probe. The heat generated targets unwanted tissue or blood vessels, causing them to coagulate, shrink or break down naturally while minimising damage to the surrounding skin.

Diathermy is a treatment that uses a controlled high-frequency electrical current to generate heat within targeted tissue. It is commonly used to remove thread veins, cherry angiomas, skin tags, milia and other minor skin imperfections.
