| Facial Thread Veins (Telangiectasia) Thread
veins are not broken capillaries but permanently dilated capillaries.
They have very thin walls which constantly dilate and constrict. As we
age, these vessels lose their elasticity and can become permanently dilated.
There are numerous causes including: ageing, hereditary, pregnancy, the rubbing
of spectacles, smoking, energetic sports, temperature extremes and harsh weather
exposure, hormones and skin fragility. They are commonly seen in a
maturing 'English rose' complexion.

| Spider Naevus A spider naevus is a central
dilated blood vessel, with smaller capillaries radiating from it like
the legs of a spider. They can be found in isolation, or gathered
together in clumps on areas such as the cheeks. |
 |
| Milia (Whiteheads) Milia lie superficially
under the skin and present themselves as small white lipid-epithelium
plugs. Their origin may be related to the use of too rich moisturising
cream, a dry skin which may be acidic or a high cholesterol level. Milia
contains keratin which can solidify over time and they can also become
larger.

 |
| Skin Tags (Fibroepithelial Papilloma) These
are a common fibrous condition commonly found in areas of friction, such
as the underarms, inner thighs, under the breasts or around the neck
where necklaces may irritate. They often have the appearance of a
mushroom shape and vary in size from a tiny speck, smaller than a grain
of uncooked rice, to the size of a large pea or even larger. Skin tags
are often hyper-pigmented making them more obvious and can vary in size
from a tiny speck to the size of a large pea. They are viral in nature
and can spread to other areas of the body.

| Campbell de Morgan (blood) Spots These are
bright red spots also known as Cherry Angioma. They are dome shaped or
slightly raised and are most common on the trunk or torso and
particularly the midriff back or front. Most people aged over 30 have at least one and they are even more common
in men than women. These vascular blemishes lie just under the surface
of the skin, and can stand out appearing cosmetically unsightly. Their
cause is unknown.

Your Questions Answered
What actually happens in a treatment?
The tip of the finest, smallest probe possible (about the size of an
eyelash) is introduced along the line of the capillary or milia and a tiny
energy current is discharged. This 'dries up' and destroys the vessel
which often disappears as it is being treated. Any mild discomfort
felt during the treatment lasts a very short time. Further treatments may be
necessary depending on the severity of the problem. In the case of
skin tags the current destroys the vessels 'feeding' the blemish 'starving'
it of nourishment resulting in its eventual demise.
Will my blemishes return?
The treated blemish will not return but others may occur depending on the
root cause.
How long does it take and how many treatments will I require?
ACP treatments are safe and effective and offer instantaneous results in
many cases. Length of treatment very much depends on the problem and
you will be advised of this although it is difficult to state a definitive
time. The area worked on must not be over-treated and your skin
reactivity will be taken into account. Spacing technique and
treatment intervals will be carefully considered in a treatment plan as well
as taking into account your requirements, needs and wishes.
What aftercare do I need?
Detailed instructions on how to care for the area(s) treated will be provided
together with specially formulated aftercare powder and cream.
