Electro-micro-surgery is the application of a (radio frequency-RF) electric current as a means to cut and coagulate tissue. Its benefits include the ability to make precise cuts with limited bleeding.
In this procedure, an electric probe is used for removing benign growths and the cauterisation of tissue.
Electro-micro-surgery is very similar to electrocautery. Electrocautery and Electro-micro-surgery uses heat conduction to a certain temperature by a direct current. Diathermy is used; diathermy means dielectric heating, by high frequency.
This procedure is very safe, quick, effective and used in most surgical procedures without the need of stitching or leaving a surgical scar. A medical grade topical anaesthetic is used in all procedures.

Moles are small, coloured lesions which can be seen anywhere on the skin’s surface. They contain cells called melanocytes which give the mole its pigmented appearance.
A mole itself is easily treated, but rather than ‘removing’ by excision we ‘visibly reduce the appearance’ of the mole. A number of techniques are used all using diathermy (AC).
Moles could require 1-2 sessions. The first session usually can remove the complete mole, however occasionally a follow up treatment is needed to smooth out the remaining mole. The colour can never be guaranteed to exactly match the surrounding skin, but if the mole is none pigmented, it will certainly become lighter.
Moles are normally not a cause of concern and are usually a cosmetic issue for patients, if however, you have noticed changes in your mole (e.g. if you see it getting bigger, changing colour, bleeding, or having irregular borders) then it is very important to get it examined by a dermatologist who can determine whether it requires excision.
*We do not offer biopsy or excision of moles.
Some moles might require a dermatologist’s letter prior to treatment.
Benign moles can be treated for cosmetic purposes.
A topical medical anaesthetic is used before and during the procedure, so the treatment is not very painful and only a very slight sensation of heat is felt.
As the procedure is not full surgical excision and stitching is not involved, there will be no surgical scars. However there might be a slight skin discolouration left due to the heat used, and in most cases when the aftercare guidelines is followed, the skin heals without much trace of the treatment.
As the electro micro surgery procedure is invasive, please allow 2-4 weeks before any sun and sea exposure.
No, the anaesthetic is a topical lidocaine.
Yes, you are able to drive unless the procedure is around the eye area (please email for confirmation).
It normally takes 48hrs for the skin to scab, and can take 2-6 weeks for the scab to fall off and skin to heal (depending on your skin and the procedure).
No, the anaesthetic would penetrate the body and blood system.
You need to allow 48hrs for the scab to appear before makeup application. This is to avoid infection of the skin.
Ideally not for 48hrs until the skin is scabbed. This is to avoid infection.
Yes. The procedure of electro micro surgery is not laser, cryo sprays (which are dangerous to be used around the eye area), so it can be used for any unwanted growths from around the eye, and even inside the lashes.
With the procedure of electro micro surgery, the cyst can be reduced in size by draining it out, or shaving it down by cauterisation to reduce its size. This procedure is for cosmetic purposes and is not a full surgical cyst excision, and is not permanent. Using cauterisation the area will be sealed, and will not be stitched over, hence no surgical scars.
In some cases the sac of the cyst can be removed, but this depends on the type of cyst treated.
Please note: cysts can grow back, but not immediately and can take between 1-5 years, when the treatment can be repeated.
People frequently confuse sebaceous cysts and pilar cysts, but there are several differences between the two:
-Pilar cysts grow from your hair follicles, most frequently on your scalp. Sebaceous cysts grow from sebaceous glands that can appear almost anywhere on your body.
-Sebaceous glands secrete a substance called sebum that makes up some of the oil on your skin. Trichilemmal cysts are filled with keratin, a protein that makes hair, skin and nail cells.
-Pilar cysts are round and smooth and can grow quite large. Sebaceous cysts are tiny domes with a minuscule opening on top that will ooze sebum if you squeeze the cyst.
Pilar cysts can take 2-6 months to fully heal.
Sebaceous cysts can take 4-8 weeks to heal.
This procedure is for cosmetic removal of benign moles, and does not involve a full surgical excision, and some moles might grow back and require further treatments. There are no biopsy, or tests performed on moles, so ideally if you have concerns about your moles (bleeding, itching, changing shape or growing), best to have them checked before cosmetic removal, or forward a photo by email to advise.
Yes, when warts are fully treated, they are permanently gone without any damage to the surrounding skin, including Seborrheic Keratosis, Verruca and Molluscum Contagiosum.
Following your treatment you may experience:
Note: Please contact your GP or Emergency (after working hours), if the area is becoming infected and painful to touch.

Take a look at what our customers throughout London, Essex and worldwide had to say about their skincare treatments.
The fact that she is also an artist with a steady hand made me feel much more comfortable. All went very well with the electrolysis. She was fast and efficient and really knew what she was doing! Very minimal pain was experienced and absolutely no scarring or bruising! I wish I could have her here in NYC with me!
Jilla treated me with a facial peel, which left my skin extremely smooth and soft and in so much better condition than prior to my treatment. I found Jilla to be very enthusiastic about her work and she carefully explained how the treatment would work and performed it with a high degree of precision and professionalism.
I received electrolysis from Jilla while living on Grand Cayman Island. Jilla is a caring, gentle and meticulous practitioner who was always considerate of my comfort while under her care. I highly recommend her as I know from first-hand experience that she has high standards and produces wonderful results.
