Small skin lesions such as skin tags, milia, blood spots and certain benign growths can be safely and effectively removed using the Sterex technique. This advanced method uses a fine probe and targeted thermolysis to cauterise and remove unwanted lesions with precision, minimal discomfort and little to no downtime.
Small skin lesions are common, harmless growths or irregularities that can appear on the face or body. These may include skin tags, milia, seborrhoeic keratoses, cherry angiomas, thread veins, warts and other benign bumps. Their size, colour and texture can vary, and while often medically harmless, many people choose to remove them for cosmetic reasons or if they become irritated.
Small lesions can develop for a variety of reasons, including:
Most lesions remain stable over time, but some may slowly change in appearance.
Although these lesions are usually benign, professional assessment is important to confirm suitability for cosmetic removal.
If a lesion is changing or behaving unusually, you should seek medical advice. Concerning signs include:
While most lesions are harmless, monitoring them ensures any issues are caught early.
At Skin Architect, we use Sterex Advanced Electrolysis, a safe and precise method for removing many types of small benign lesions. This technique uses a very fine needle and a small electrical current to gently cauterise and remove the lesion at the surface.
Your practitioner will assess the lesion during consultation to ensure it is suitable for treatment.
Most treatments take only a few minutes, and downtime is minimal.
You may feel a brief warming or stinging sensation. Most clients find the treatment very tolerable, and numbing can be used if needed.
A small crust or dry patch may form as the area heals. This is normal and usually falls away within a few days.
Yes. As long as our practitioner confirms the lesion is benign and safe to treat, cosmetic removal is available.
Many lesions require only one session, though some (such as extensive thread veins or multiple milia) may need additional treatments.
