Short Wave Diathermy for red veins, milia and skin tags
At Skin Essentials we can also quickly and easily treat thread veins on the face using short wave diathermy, a tiny energy current delivered along an extremely fine metal probe. This method can also be used for treating multiple tiny skin tags, blood spots or milia.
Facial Thread Veins – These have many causes such as exposure, ageing and smoking. Very often seen in a celtic skin type. Red veins respond very well to this treatment with single or few broken capillaries taking only one session to treat.
Multiple veins will be treated over several sessions for your comfort.

Milia
Milia
Small round, keratin-filled bumps which are found just under the skin of the face, usually around the cheekbones. These can be easily treated in one or two sessions.
Skin Tags
Skin Tags
Very common on the neck, trunk and underarm areas, these can appear flesh coloured, red or brown. They vary in size from a tiny blemish to the size of a pea in most cases. Small tags are removed in a single session, larger ones may take a second treatment.
Information
Most blemishes are treated instantaneously and results can be seen straight away, especially in the case of red veins and blood spots. Milia and skin tags take a few days to disappear after treatment.
Skin can be red and sensitive after treatment for a few hours to a couple of days.
If more than one session will be needed, a treatment plan will be advised at your initial consultation including treatment time, spacing and cost. The consultation process takes 15 minutes and is necessary to assess the suitability of each client for the treatment.
For first time clients their consultation and treatment is performed in the same appointment. For returning clients, there is an option to book a diathermy treatment without the consultation. See our book link HERE.
