Safe and Effective Sun Pigmentation damage Removal in Flintshire, North Wales 

Sun pigmentation damage or sun spots occurs when melanin becomes clumped or is produced in high concentrations from sun exposure. Prolonged use of sunbeds can also cause sun spots. If you are looking for a quick and effective solution in Flintshire area of North Wales,  then both Cryotherapy or Advanced Electrolysis are effective treatments. 

Cryotherapy using nitrous oxide is a proven method to safely remove sun spots and pigmentation damage without cutting or burning the skin. It is not only faster than other methods but also minimises the risk of scarring. Most sun damage will respond after one treatment, changing colour and naturally fall off within 2-4 weeks after a single treatment. The procedure is designed for your comfort, with only a slight stinging sensation during treatment. 

Smaller sun spots/sun pigmentation changes can be treated in one simple consultation, saving you time and ensuring effective results. Larger areas of skin damage will need to be treated over several treatments at 2-week intervals. After treatment, the area will become darker and pinker, a blister may form. Over 1-2 weeks a scab will form which should not be removed, but will eventually drop off. Underneath the skin will be new and pink – this is not scar tissue, the skin will take between 4-6weeks to re-pigment to your natural colour. During this time it is crucial that you use factor 50 sunblock (SPF50) and do not use sunbeds.

During your initial consultation you will be provided with a personalised treatment plan with an estimated cost. 

Advanced electrolysis is also a safe and effective way to remove skin pigmentation changes/sun spots, it uses an electric current through a very fine needle scraping the surface of the skin to remove the pigmented area. The skin is then cauterised to allow a scab to form. The pigmented area will be removed immediately but there will be a small grazed area in place of the sun spot. Large spots will be covered with a waterproof dressing, which should remain in place for 2-3 days. A scab will form but which should be left to come away of its own accord.  

Local anesthetic will be injected or applied, subject to suitability, therefore the treatment will be painless. 

As with any cut or wound, there is a low risk of scarring, especially if the wound becomes infected or the scab is picked. The area will remain red until completely healed, as with any other surgical wound or cut/graze. Some aftercare restrictions apply due to open wound being present.
