Advanced electrolysis is a safe and effective treatment for removing skin tags, thread veins, and other minor skin imperfections. This guide will provide comprehensive information, including how the treatment works, benefits, risks, side effects, and aftercare tips.
Definition: Advanced electrolysis uses a fine needle and a small electrical current to treat minor skin imperfections such as skin tags, thread veins, and milia.
Purpose: To safely and precisely remove or reduce the appearance of unwanted skin blemishes.
Common Issues Treated:
- Skin tags
- Thread veins (also known as spider veins or telangiectasia)
- Milia (tiny white bumps)
- Cherry angiomas (red vascular blemishes)

Mechanism: A sterile, fine needle is inserted into or near the targeted area.
An electrical current is passed through the needle to heat the tissue.
For skin tags: The current causes the tissue to dry up and eventually fall off.
For thread veins: The heat destroys the tiny blood vessels, which are then reabsorbed by the body over time.
Treatment Duration: Typically 15–45 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.
Results: Improvements are often visible immediately or within a few weeks.
Risks
Skin Damage: Improper technique may cause scarring or pigmentation issues.
Infection: Rare but possible if post-treatment care isn’t followed.
Side Effects
Common:
- Redness and mild swelling around the treated area
- A scab or crust forming over the treatment site
- Slight discomfort during and after the procedure
Rare:
- Hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation (temporary skin color changes)
- Minor scarring
