What are Blood Spots?
These clusters of dilated capillaries make small red or purple bumps on the skin, usually on the chest and back. Most are small (the size of a pin head), but they can grow larger and become raised and sponge-like. Although cherry angiomas are normal (most people over the age of forty have them) and cause no health problems, people may choose to have larger spots removed for cosmetic reasons. How can they be treated? We can eliminate the entire spot by using Advanced Electrolysis which is a blend of Diathermy and Galvanic. This is all discussed in consultation on the day and a test patch may be required. |
The treatment starts by gently applying a slender needle to the surface of the affected area to introduce a low current. This acts to cauterise the Blood Spot, which is easily removed simply through the application of heat.
The treatment itself will take no more than half an hour from start to finish, or maybe less if the area to be treated is quite small. You may experience some slight discomfort, often described as a slight ‘stinging’ by our clients. A single treatment is normally enough to remove an individual Blood Spot.

How Thermolysis works to eliminate Blood SpotsThe blood residing in the veins beneath the skin’s surface is reabsorbed into the body, causing the red appearance to vanish. You’ll notice a feeling or warmth around the treated area, but this will gradually fade away a short time later. Your skin will be left feeling smooth and without blemishes.
After your treatment has finished
It’s quite possible that you’ll notice a little swelling immediately after Blood Spot Removal Treatment. The area we’ve treated may also appear redder than usual. All of this is normal and will go away within a day or two. During this time some scabs may form, but they will come away of their own accord, by which time the Blood Spot will have been reabsorbed. Bear in mind that it may take a few weeks for the treated area to return to the same colouring as the surrounding skin.
