WHAT ARE SKIN LESIONS?

Small skin lesions such as a moles, skin tags, milia, cherry angioma and warts are common and generally harmless, however for cosmetic reasons you may want them removed. At Gallery Aesthetics we are able to remove all of these type of lesions on the face or on the body.

Moles are a type of common skin growth. They are frequently small, dark-brown spots and are caused by pigmented cell clusters. Generally, they appear during childhood and adolescence. Most people have between 10 and 40 moles, some of which may change over time or disappear. The majority of moles are harmless and only very rarely becoming cancerous. Monitoring moles and other pigmented patches, particularly malignant melanoma, is an important proactive step in detecting skin cancer. A mole develops when cells within the skin (melanocytes) grow together in clusters or clumps. Melanocytes are present throughout the skin - they produce the natural pigment melanin that colours the skin.

Skin tags are painless, non-cancerous growths on the skin’s surface. A tiny, thin stem called a peduncle connects the tag to the skin. Skin tags are made up of blood vessels and collagen surrounded by an outside layer of skin. It is unclear what causes skin tags exactly. Since they usually appear in the folds of the skin, friction can play a part. Skin tags are common in both men and women, particularly over 50 years of age. They can appear anywhere in your body, although they are usually found where the skin folds, for example armpits, groin, neck, under the breasts.

Age/liver spots, freckles and sun damaged, hyper pigmented lesions are caused by an excess production of melanin due to skin aging and sun exposure or other forms of ultraviolet light exposure, such as tanning beds. They are most likely to develop on the areas of your skin that receive the most sun exposure, including the face, back of hands, chest, shoulders and forearms.

For the removal of any pigmented areas, only one treatment is typically required using the CryoPen™.

SKIN LESION REMOVAL

TREATMENT OPTIONS

At Gallery Medispa we can address minor skin lesions by using a method call Cryotherapy.

Cryotherapy is the use of extreme cold produced by liquid nitrous oxide for the fast, effective and safe solution for the controlled destruction of unwanted skin imperfections. The CryoPen™ is a FDA and CE registered advanced cryotherapy innovation. It is a pen-like instrument which delivers a fine pinpoint spray of liquid nitrous oxide at a constant temperature of minus-127 degrees under high pressure which allows the therapist to work with millimetre precision. This means the nitrous oxide is delivered directly to the treated area and not to the healthy surrounding tissue.

The CryoPen removes the lesions in one procedure with no risk of infection and no post care required.

The Skin Perfector - Flawless skin in a matter of seconds

The CryoPen™ has taken 13 years to develop and is the most innovative, technologically advanced instrument in cryosurgery on the market today for the permanent removal of:

Freckles or dark, hyper pigmented lesions
Age/liver spots
Sebhorroeic Warts
Milia
Warts – hands & feet
Cherry angioma (red blisters)
Verrucas
Skin tags

WHAT DOES THIS TREATMENT INVOLVE?

This non-surgical facelift uses a range of dermal fillers to achieve the desired effect. Depending on your requirements, these can be administered to specific face areas like the cheeks, under the eyes, or lower face, dependent upon on which areas you need to improve.
WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT FROM THIS NON-SURGICAL FACELIFT WITH FACE FILLERS?

You will instantly see an improvement in your appearance, but you may have some swelling and redness from the injections, which can take a day or two to settle. The best result is visible typically after around 7-10 days when any mild swelling has subsided. The result will be an improved and rejuvenated facial appearance, which should appear more lifted.
HOW LONG DOES A LIQUID FACELIFT/ 8 POINT FACELIFT TAKE TO SETTLE?

Most people look fine by the next day; if you do have any swelling or bruising, it is likely to be mild and covered by the next day with makeup.
WILL I RECEIVE A CONSULTATION PRIOR TO TREATMENT?

Yes, all appointments, regardless of the treatment you have booked for, begin with a thorough consultation. The fee for your consultation is redeemable against the cost of your treatment should you wish to go ahead with it at the time of your booking. At Gallery Medispa Milton Keynes, we take a holistic approach, considering patients concerns and expectations and supporting the patient before and after the treatment. At Gallery Medispa, we believe that it is important that patient support starts with pre-treatment consultation, whereby the patient is fully prepared and comfortable in the hands of the practitioner, and most importantly in order to understand the patients aesthetic goals and expectations. Our patients must be assessed for suitability and provided the correct amount of information for them to make an informed decision.
IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME?

Bruising can happen, albeit rare, however there are also steps you can take to minimise this which we will advise in our pre and post care information, although no practitioner can guarantee against such. Immediately after treatment your skin may appear red and feel a little sore. There may also be some mild swelling but this will subside within a couple of days. Each patient is an individual and everyone will react differently, however we do our best at all times to ensure the most comfortable and positive experience for every patient that chooses us at Gallery Aesthetics. You will be sent full pre and post treatment care prior to your appointment.
RISKS & SIDE EFFECTS

Fillers are only as good as the person injecting them, regardless of the product used, and therefore aren’t something to take lightly. At Gallery Aesthetics we only use the highest grade products, with specialist trained practitioners administering them. We are all fully insured and qualified to carry out these procedures and highly trained should any potential complications arise, albeit this is very, very rare. General side effects are swelling and/ or bruising and these usually subside within 2-3 days post procedure. Final results will be visible around 2 weeks post procedure. You will be provided with complete aftercare and if you are concerned about anything, please contact us. If you suffer from coldsores (herpes virus), having a lip augmentation can trigger a breakout. If you have a coldsore at the time of your appointment this is a contraindication and can result in complications, therefore unfortunately we will be unable to treat you. Dermal fillers are made up of a naturally occurring substance therefore it is extremely rare to suffer an allergic reaction. All of the dermal fillers we use are fully reversible, instantly.
AM I A SUITABLE CANDIDATE?

The ideal patient for a thread lift is over 30, have realistic expectations and not wishing to have surgery. A thread lift is an option with temporary results, for those with sagging skin. You must be in good health with realistic expectations.
WHAT PRODUCTS DO WE USE?

At Gallery Aesthetics we stock a number of fillers which are all top of the range and premium brands. Different products can produce different results and often the brand we will use will depend on the result you want to achieve. Natural results generally require the use of thinner products and this is most often our preference. The fillers we use are based on hyaluronic acid (HA), which is the body’s own natural skin plumper and so has an almost impossible risk of an allergic reaction. Thinner or less dense fillers are used for surface areas like lips and crow’s feet, and thicker ones are injected deeper and used in the jawline are and cheeks for example. All the fillers we use are fully reversible, so if necessary they can be immediately dissolved. Our techniques are based on achieving natural results. A natural look is our forte and we pride ourselves in our undetectable results. We use Juvederm, Aliaxin, Belotero Balance, Restylane and Perfectha HA fillers amonsgst others, and we choose the one we feel will suit you best as an individual, based on the various properties of them that suit you best.
