Dermal fillers and electrocautery are two distinct cosmetic procedures with different purposes and mechanisms of action.

Dermal fillers involve injecting a gel-like substance into the skin to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. Commonly used fillers include hyaluronic acid-based products, calcium hydroxylapatite, and poly-L-lactic acid. These fillers work by adding volume to areas of the face where volume loss has occurred due to aging or other factors.

The HydraFacial treatment is a non-invasive skincare procedure that aims to rejuvenate and hydrate the skin. It utilizes a patented device that combines several skincare techniques, including cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection, into one comprehensive treatment.

Here’s a breakdown of the steps involved in a typical HydraFacial treatment:

Cleansing and exfoliation: The treatment begins with a gentle cleansing of the skin to remove surface impurities and debris. This is followed by a mild exfoliation process, which helps to slough off dead skin cells and reveal smoother, more radiant skin underneath.

Acid peel: A gentle acid peel solution is applied to the skin to further exfoliate and loosen congestion in the pores. This step helps to improve skin texture and promote a more even complexion.

Extraction: The HydraFacial device uses a unique vacuum-powered extraction tip to remove debris from the pores, including blackheads, oil, and other impurities. This step helps to unclog pores and improve the overall clarity of the skin.

Hydration: One of the key features of the HydraFacial treatment is its ability to deliver nourishing serums and hydrating ingredients directly into the skin. These serums contain antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid, which help to replenish moisture, improve skin tone and texture, and protect against environmental damage.

Antioxidant protection: The final step of the HydraFacial treatment involves the application of a protective serum containing antioxidants, such as vitamins A, E, and C. These antioxidants help to neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from oxidative stress, promoting a healthy, radiant complexion.

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a device containing fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, which are essential for maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin.

During a microneedling treatment, a skincare professional will use a handheld device, often called a dermaroller or microneedling pen, to make tiny punctures in the skin’s surface. These punctures, or micro-channels, trigger the skin’s repair mechanisms, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin fibers.

Microneedling is often used to address a variety of skin concerns, including:

1. Fine lines and wrinkles
2. Acne scars
3. Enlarged pores
4. Uneven skin tone and texture
5. Hyperpigmentation (dark spots)
6. Stretch marks

The benefits of microneedling include smoother, firmer skin with improved texture and tone. Additionally, by creating micro-channels in the skin, microneedling enhances the absorption of skincare products, allowing them to penetrate more deeply and be more effective.

Microneedling is generally a safe and well-tolerated procedure, but it may cause temporary redness, swelling, and mild discomfort during and after treatment. These side effects typically subside within a few days. However, it’s essential to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by our qualified clinician at Skin Health & Beauty Clinic in Bournemouth to minimise the risk of complications and optimise results.

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a sterile surgical scalpel to gently exfoliate the surface of the skin, removing dead skin cells and vellus hair, commonly known as “peach fuzz.” This process results in smoother, softer skin with a more radiant complexion.

During a dermaplaning treatment, a skincare professional will carefully glide the scalpel across the skin, using light, feathering strokes. This removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells and fine facial hair, revealing fresh, healthy skin underneath.

Dermaplaning is often used to address a variety of skin concerns, including:

1. Dull or uneven skin tone
2. Rough or dry skin texture
3. Fine lines and wrinkles
4. Mild acne scarring
5. Vellus hair (peach fuzz)

The benefits of dermaplaning include immediate improvement in skin texture and tone, as well as enhanced absorption of skincare products. By removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, dermaplaning allows topical treatments to penetrate more deeply into the skin, making them more effective.

Dermaplaning is generally a safe and well-tolerated procedure, with minimal risk of side effects. It is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. However, it may not be suitable for individuals with active acne or inflammatory skin conditions.

Chemical peels are cosmetic procedures performed by our qualified aesthetic clinician at Skin Health & Beauty Clinic in Bournemouth. They involve the application of a chemical solution to the skin, which causes exfoliation and peeling of the outer layers. This process helps to remove damaged or dead skin cells, revealing smoother, more radiant skin underneath.

Chemical peels are used to address a variety of skin concerns, including:

1. Fine lines and wrinkles
2. Uneven skin tone and texture
3. Sun damage
4. Acne and acne scars
5. Hyperpigmentation (dark spots)
6. Melasma
7. Dull or rough skin

There are different types of chemical peels available, ranging from superficial peels, which target the outermost layer of the skin, to medium and deep peels, which penetrate deeper into the skin’s layers. The type of peel recommended will depend on the individual’s skin type, concerns, and desired results.

After a chemical peel, the skin may appear red, flaky, or slightly swollen for a few days to a week, depending on the depth of the peel. It’s essential to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by our qualified aesthetic clinician to ensure proper healing and minimise the risk of complications.

Milia are small, white or yellowish cysts that commonly appear on the skin, typically around the eyes, nose, and cheeks. They form when keratin, a protein found in the skin, becomes trapped beneath the surface. Milia removal treatment by electrocautery is a procedure used to eliminate these cysts.

During the treatment, our qualified clinician at Skin Health & Beauty Clinic in Bournemouth will use a specialised electrocautery device to apply a controlled electric current to the milia. This current generates heat, which helps to break down the cysts and promote their removal from the skin’s surface.

Electrocautery is considered an effective method for removing milia, as it allows for precise targeting of the cysts without causing significant damage to the surrounding skin. The procedure is relatively quick and typically well-tolerated by patients. However, there may be some discomfort or mild pain during the treatment, and temporary redness or swelling may occur afterward.

Multiple treatment sessions may be necessary to completely remove stubborn or recurrent milia. It’s essential to consult with our qualified clinician at Skin Health & Beauty Clinic in Bournemouth to determine if electrocautery is the appropriate treatment option for your specific case of milia. They can provide personalized advice and recommendations based on your skin type, medical history, and individual needs.

A sebaceous cyst is a common noncancerous cyst that forms beneath the skin. It arises from a blocked sebaceous gland, which normally produces oil (sebum) to lubricate the skin and hair. When the gland’s duct becomes blocked, the sebum accumulates, leading to the formation of a cyst.

Electrocautery can be used as a treatment option for sebaceous cysts. During the procedure, our qualified clinician at Skin Health & Beauty Clinic in Bournemouth will use a specialised electrocautery device to deliver a controlled electric current to the cyst. The heat generated by the current helps to break down the cyst contents and promote its drainage.
