✨ PORE OF WINER – BEFORE & IMMEDIATELY AFTER TREATMENT ✨

A Pore of Winer is an enlarged blackhead-like pore caused by a build-up of keratin and oil within the skin. They are completely benign, but many people choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons as they can become more noticeable over time.

👉How is it treated?
One of the most effective treatments is diathermy — a quick, minimally invasive procedure that uses electrically induced heat to gently treat the affected pore.

✔️ Helps remove the built-up material
✔️ Reduces the appearance of the enlarged pore
✔️ Encourages smoother-looking skin
✔️ Fast treatment with minimal downtime

The photo shows the area before treatment and immediately after diathermy treatment. Mild redness and swelling straight afterwards are completely normal and usually settles quickly as the skin heals.

✨Moist Wound Healing: A Better Way to Heal

Did you know wounds don’t actually heal best when they’re left to “dry out”? Air drying a wound dehydrates it, causing cell death and slowing repair. Modern research shows that keeping a wound slightly moist can significantly improve healing.

💦What is moist wound healing?
It’s a method of caring for wounds using dressings and gels that maintain a balanced, hydrated environment - not too wet, not too dry.

🌿Benefits of moist wound healing:
• Faster healing time
• Reduced scab formation
• Lower risk of scarring
• Helps protect against infection
• Supports the body’s natural repair process

Moist environments promote faster cell growth and migration, leading to quicker tissue regeneration.

I have the best clients! Thank you 😋

Another fabulous North West Professional Electrolysis workshop. Catching up with old and new friends. I always learn something new to bring home to beautiful North Devon.

⭐️ Thank you Sharon (& Rob) for all your hard work arranging the workshop every year. Also the setting up and clearing away. I’m always pedal to floor, negotiating the traffic on the M6, with a 5 hour drive ahead of me 🚗 ☹️ Thank you 😘

⭐ Thanks also to Janet Turner, my trainer from the get-go, who was demonstrating the action of galvanic and thermolysis in the follicle. It is always a pleasure meeting up with you 🥰

It never fails to amaze me how much I learn from our little gatherings and how much I appreciate you all. As a lone worker, having these lovely ladies always on hand to support and encourage me in a profession I love is something I will be forever grateful for. Lots of love # # #
P.s. Who’s up for Warsaw?

✨ Mole Treatment with Diathermy ✨

Diathermy is a quick, effective treatment used to reduce benign moles and other skin lesions with precision.

🔹 What is diathermy?
Diathermy uses controlled heat to coagulate, desiccate or cauterise vascular, non-vascular and pigmented skin blemishes.

🔹 Benefits:
✔️ Quick procedure
✔️ Minimal discomfort
✔️ Little to no bleeding
✔️ Excellent cosmetic results

🔹 What to expect:
After treatment, a scab forms and typically heals over a few weeks. Results improve throughout the wound healing stages, as shown in the before & after images.

⚠️ Important: All moles must be assessed first to ensure they are suitable for cosmetic treatment. Any suspicious lesions should always be checked by a medical professional.
