Advanced Diathermy/Electrolysis

Electrolysis
 

The longest standard method of permanent hair removal. Within Soprano Ice Edinburgh we work with shortwave diathermy which produces heat. This heat travels down an individual sterile probe that coagulates the blood supply that feeds and nourishes the hair growth. This destroys the cells at the base of the follicle. This can be a lengthy process as this treatment is only successful if hair growth is caught within an active stage. This treatment is designed for smaller areas (such as face) but can treat any hair colour.

Thread Veins
 

Thread Veins are small broken capillaries which are visible on the skin’s surface. They are most commonly found on the facial area which can cause sufferers to become very self-conscious. Worry no more because Soprano Ice Edinburgh have a treatment that will remove these unsightly veins and transform your skin forever.

Our skincare expert, has advanced training in the removal of thread veins (spider naevi). This treatment involves a small sterile probe which is tapped along the broken capillary releasing heat (short wave diathermy) that cauterises (sears) the broken vessel, allowing the capillary to heal and fade away.

Clients should be aware that during the treatment process we do not use a topical anaesthetic cream prior to treatment as the cream works as a vasoconstrictor – (causing blood vessels to constrict away from the skin). Use of a topical anaesthetic cream would mean a successful treatment could not be assured and may result in treatments not being cost effective or time efficient.

The average treatment time is around 30 minutes.

This procedure is completely safe and as always we provide you with a full consultation before any bookings to ensure you get the right treatment with exactly the right effects for you. Skin reaction post-treatment will result in the area being slightly red with a few kitten-like scratches appearing on the surface that will last for a duration of between 7-10 days.

It will take 4-6 weeks to experience the full result from the treatment and a follow up review will be required to assess if any further treatment is needed.

The team at Soprano Ice Edinburgh pride themselves on providing the highest standard of customer care and always listening to client needs and expectations.
