What is electrocoagulation? 

Electrocoagulation is a method of introducing electrical current and transforming fluids into solid matter. During the treatment a fine tipped sterile probe is placed on the surface of the skin imperfection. Low level radio frequency and direct current passes through the probe to the skin blemish being treated. Electrocoagulation is effective on the following:

 

Broken Capillaries (Telangiectasia)

Broken capillaries are tiny dilated blood vessels that are visible through the skin. Most common one the face and chest  

Ruby points

Rudy points are bright red vascular blemishes which lie under the surface of the skin. They are dome shaped or slightly raised. Most common on the body  

Spider Angioma

Spider Angioma is a combination of a ruby point and a single dilated capillary.  

Skin Tags

A skin tag is a small benign growth of skin that protrudes from the surrounding skin. Skin tags may vary in appearance; they are often raised form the skin, flesh coloured or slightly brownish. Most common on the eyelids, neck, arm pits, upper chest and under breasts .

Milia ( White heads)

Stubborn bumps are technically called milia, tiny cysts that form under the skin. Milia develop when bits of dead skin cells “get trapped below the skin and create a really hard, little, white ball
