Cysts are exceptionally difficult to remove permanently with advance electrolysis, whilst we can empty the cyst and relieve discomfort we cannot guarantee full removal and recommend that for full removal you seek an appointment with a dermatologist.

Epidermoid cysts
These are usually smooth, round domes and can appear, flesh, white or yellow toned with a small dark plug or "punctum" at their centre. Commonly found on the face, neck and torso. Their contents are usually foul smelling and thick. They are not specifically genetic but some people are simply prone to suffering with them.

Sebaceous cysts
These are relatively rare and appear as benign raised nodules and can be translucent to cream coloured and "watery looking." They mainly affect the scalp, face and neck, and the contents are clear and can appear as a sign of ageing.

Pilar cysts (Trichilemmal Cysts)
This cysts will always appear from the outer root sheath of the hair follicle. They can be found in areas of thick or dense hair growth and are slow growing whitish nodules.

Many conditions require more than one treatment which is indicated by the size, location and quantity of the lesions to be removed. Your treatment plan will be discussed with you during your consultation to enable you to make clear and confident decisions.

The technique used for removal is Advanced Electrolysis or short wave diathermy (known as thermolysis in the USA). Our head aesthetician has over 30 years experience and is trained and approved by Sterex International, who provide the highest level of training for medical, dental and aesthetic practitioners across the globe.

It is important to note that we cannot prevent the appearance of further lesions and while in most cases complete removal is achieved we cannot guarantee that everyone will have the same results, each person will heal differently and in some cases there may still be some discolouration after treatment.
