Skin Tags

What are skin tags?

Skin tags are small, noncancerous growth that forms when the skin rubs against itself. Skin tags can vary in size, shape, and attachment. Some stay small and some grow bigger. They can range in diameter from 2mm to 1 centimeter, and some grow even bigger.

As skin tags are usually harmless, removal is normally for cosmetic reasons and mental well-being.

They are often found in areas where there is friction, such as where the skin creases like the neck, armpits, groin area, waistline.

Treatment:

Skin tags can be easily removed in a single treatment of diathermy. We cut them with our electrolysis machine by cauterizing them off the skin surface. Normally take 15 to 20 minutes it depends on how many your tags need to remove. Skin tag removal procedures can cause mild discomfort only for a few seconds and after that skin will be slightly red and tender.

After the treatment you see your skin looking smooth. A small crust will appear on the treated area and after a day or two will fall off naturally. It is important not to scratch or rub these crusts as they form as part of the skin’s natural healing process. Straight after treatment, we apply aloe vera cream to soothe the skin. Follow care instructions below:

Avoid touching the treated area so the transfer of bacteria will be limited.

Spider veins are central dilated blood vessels with smaller capillaries radiating like legs of a spider. They can be found in isolation and clumps together on the cheeks, face, legs, and chest. The color of these veins can be blue, purple, or red.

There are a number of causes for veins: Sun damage, trauma, hormones, hereditary, aging, excessive exercise, harsh weather, etc.

Treatment:

These veins can be treated with electrolysis diathermy treatment. The tip of the finest probe is introduced along the line of the capillary and a tiny current is discharged. This process will destroy the vessels. Most veins can be treated in a single session although some may require more than one treatment, it depends on how big area we are treating. Red vein treatment is not very painful. You will only feel a little stingy. After the treatment skin will be red and inflamed. Straight after the treatment, we apply aloe vera cream to soothe the skin. If we do a big area, we give some aloe vera cream to clients to reapply again for one more day. The fine crust will appear over the treated area as the skin heals. Please follow the aftercare instruction below:

Xanthelasmas are a slightly raised deposit found on the surface of the upper or lower eyelids. They are harmless eyelid growth that looks like a yellowish fat deposit in the skin. Xanthomas can vary in size. The growth can be small as a pinhead or as large as a grape. They usually don’t cause any pain.

Cause:

Xanthelasma is often caused by abnormal blood fat levels(hyperlipidemia)or high blood cholesterol levels. This may be a symptom of an underlying medical condition.

Treatment:

A tiny current is applied to the growth area by a very small probe. This works by shrinking or drying out and removing the fatty deposit from within the growth. We only treat small xanthomas.

During the treatment process you may feel uncomfortable, but this does dissipate fast. We only offer 5 minutes each eye treatment because the eye area is very soft and sensitive. After a few days, tiny scabs or dry skin will appear due to the natural healing process. Do not scrub, scratch or pick the skin.

Xanthomas can come back after some time. The treatment will need to be repeated. It is also important to maintain healthy blood cholesterol levels. Do regular check-ups with your doctor too.

Micro-needling is also known as collagen induction therapy or dermal needling. Micro-needling is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that is used to treat skin concerns via collagen production. Dermal needling devices use very fine, surgical stainless needles to make hundreds of microscopic injuries in the skin and this injury or wounds healing process stimulates collagen production, which helps your skin to rejuvenate, youthful-looking, and smooth skin. Needling treatment can also be used to treat and improve acne scars, sun damage, rosacea, stretch marks, open pores, hyperpigmentation, etc.

Treatment procedure:

If the customer wants to use anesthetic cream for comfort, we will apply this 30 minutes before the treatment procedure. We do discuss this in the consultation. You must book a consultation prior to this treatment.

The dermal needling treatment process makes small pricks under the skin with a derma pen device. The pinpricks are so small that you likely won’t notice them after the procedure. Your therapist will apply serums and then moves the device evenly across your skin and you may see some pinprick bleeding. You may notice some skin irritation and redness within the first few days following the procedure. This is a natural response to the small “injuries” made by the needles in your skin. Downtime of this treatment is very little. You can go back to work after the procedure if you are comfortable.

Sleep on your back with the head of the bed elevated to minimize swelling and change the pillowcase the night of the procedure if a facial treatment was performed.
Avoid harsh chemical products and toners as they may cause irritation.
Apply gentle moisturizer and serums to keep skin hydrated.
Peeling may start 3-5 days after the treatment. You may notice that your skin is dry and flaky due to the turnover of skin cells. Please do not pick or scrub the treated area. Let the skin naturally fall off.

CHEMICAL PEEL

What is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure that is safe, easy, and quick to receive, and the end result is skin that is smoother, less wrinkly, more glowing, and can also be more even skin tone color. The treatment is a non-invasive option that is popular amongst people who have sun-damaged skin, aged skin, acne scars, and acne. Fine lines around the mouth, and under the eyes are excellent areas for chemical peels to be performed. More and more people are after skin rejuvenation and want to slow down the effects of aging, and chemical peels are increasingly becoming reliable procedures to achieve these beauty goals. There are various peel options available depending on the customer’s specific needs, and their desired outcome.

So, what happens is a chemical solution gets applied to the skin where the treatment is needed, and the solution causes the top layers of the skin to peel off – allowing new skin to brilliantly generate itself. Gardenia beauty clinic only offers a LIGHT and MEDIUM chemical peel treatment.

Chemical peel treatment procedure:

In preparation for a chemical peel, the patient’s skin is first gently cleansed. Then the chemical solution is applied to the targeted areas. The specific formulation and concentration of the chemical acid to be used is decided in consultation with client according to their skins needs. As the chemical solution works on the skin, the client will typically feel a warm tingling or stinging sensation. After the chemical solution has been on the skin for the prescribed amount of time, your therapist will wash it away with water and will apply a mask or soothing moisturizer.

Light chemical peels:

A light (superficial) chemical peel removes the outer layer of skin (epidermis). It's used to treat fine wrinkles, acne, uneven skin tone and dryness. These peels typically use alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA) and beta hydroxy acids (BHA) and are a mild choice for your skin. AHA peels also known as glycolic peel comes from sugar cane, lactic peel from milk, malic acid peel from pear and apple. BHA peels also known as salicylic acid is derived from fruits, vegetables, and willow bark. Salicylic acid chemical peels are especially effective in eliminating acne. Beta hydroxy acids are helpful because they can exfoliate oily skin and deeply penetrate the skin with no irritation. You can receive light chemical peels regularly to achieve your desired results. You might have a light peel every two to five weeks.

Medium chemical peel:

A medium chemical peel removes skin cells from the epidermis and from portions of the upper part of your middle layer of skin (dermis). It's used to treat wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone. You might need to repeat the procedure to achieve or maintain the desired results. Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or glycolic acid’s Higher strength can be used in medium peels. These acids can cause more redness stinging and flaking than light peels, but results are more noticeably smoother and younger-looking after the treatment.

Before any sort of chemical peel treatment we do, consultation is a must to customize the right peel treatment for you.

Aftercare instruction:

Do your best to avoid touching, picking, or scratching your skin.
After your peel treatment, your skin will likely be dry and sensitive. Make sure you apply a gentle moisturizer to your skin.
Protect your skin from the sun. Whenever going out make sure to use good sunscreen.
Keep your skin routine simple and gentle.
Do not sweat too much after the peel treatment salt can cause a stinging sensation which may cause irritation.
Do not exfoliate your skin if you feel dry and flaky just moisturize.
Good chemical peel treatment aftercare is all about healing. Let your skin repair itself before rushing to another skincare treatment - wait at least for 1-2 weeks.
