| RED
VEINS |
|
WHAT ARE RED VEINS?
Red
veins are also called “thread veins” or “broken
capillaries” or “Telangiectasis”. These are
a permanent dilation of the small superficial blood vessels
on the face and body which affects both men and women from the
age of 20. They may appear individually or as a very fine network
as wavy red lines (thread veins), “red spots” or
red spots with red lines radiating from them (Spider Naevi).
There
are numerous causes including ageing, hereditary, pregnancy,
smoking, energetic sports, temperature extremes or harsh weather
exposures, hormones, skin fragility and use of topical steroids.

| RED
SPOTS |
|
These
are a concentration of blood present on the surface of the skin
and are usually bright red in colour.
|
| |
| SPIDER
NAVEVI |
|
This
is a small, raised, centrally dilated blood vessel having
the appearance of a blood spot, with smaller dilated capillaries
radiating from it, rather like the legs of a spider. They
are commonly found on the cheeks and upper chest area and
are often caused by damage to the skin (squeezing) or an injury
to the face or during pregnancy when hormonal changes occur.

TAGS |

WHAT ARE SKIN TAGS?
A skin tag is a common, harmless and benign skin growth that
looks like a small piece of hanging skin which affects both
men and women from the age of 30. Although they vary in appearance,
they are usually smooth or slightly wrinkled and irregular,
flesh coloured or slightly browner. Early skin tags are as small
as a flattened pin point bump that can grow up to as large as
a grape. They typically occur on the neck, underarms, eyelids,
under the breast and in the groin-in a location where the skin
is constantly rubbed against skin or clothing.
THE
TREATMENT
The aim of the treatment is to cut off the blood supply to the
growth so that it withers and dies. The tags turn a little darker
in colour, shrink and form a small scab which drops of within
5 days (depending on the size).
|
| |
| WARTS
AND CRUSTS |
|
These
are caused by the thickening of the skin due to ageing. They
look like brown, crusty lumps stuck on the skin and are completely
harmless. They can be quickly and successfully removed. The
aftercare and after effects are the same as “Skin Tag”
removal.
|
| |
| AGE
SPOTS |
|
Age
spots (also known as sun spots and liver spots), are harmless
yellow or brown flat discolourations of the skin. They are
mostly found on the back of the hands, forearms, face and
shoulders in people above the age of 40. They are commonly
a sign of sun damage by having the skin exposed to the sun
over many years. They can be quickly and successfully removed.
The aftercare and after effects are the same as “Skin
Tag” removal.

| MILIA |
|
These
are tiny, hard, white dots located under the upper layer of
the skin. They contain a build up of solidified sebum (the
skin’s natural oil) from the oil glands and are often
found around the eye area, on the cheeks, nose and chin. Some
experts believe that milia are caused by sun induced changes
as the skin ages or dry, dehydrated skin (due to poor skincare
or facial products which are too strong). Others believe use
of overly rich skin creams are the cause or a generic predisposition
towards them.
To remove them, a current is passed into the milia which destroys
them, allowing them to disappear by themselves after a couple
of days.

| AFTER
EFFECTS & AFTERCARE FOR SKIN TAGS, WARTS & CRUSTS, AGE
SPOTS & MILIA
AFTER
EFFECTS
The surrounding skin may appear red and feel warm for a few
hours after the treatment. There is no scarring, no side effects
on the skin and only a short healing time.
AFTERCARE
For 2-3 days after removal, bathe the area only in cool water
and avoid the use of products on the skin e.g. soap, cleanser,
moisturiser, perfumed products, make-up and deodorant as this
may pose an infection risk. Each time the area is bathed, apply
Sterex Gel as this is anti-bacterial and promotes the healing
of the skin. Keep applying this over the treated area until
the healing is complete. |
