Milia are small, firm, white or yellowish bumps that form just beneath the surface of the skin. They are tiny keratin-filled cysts and are particularly common around the eyes, cheeks and other areas of the face. Unlike spots or blackheads, milia do not usually have an opening at the surface, so they can be difficult to remove with regular skincare.

At FACE Aesthetics Clinic milia can be treated using Advanced Cosmetic Procedures (ACP). This specialist blemish-removal technique uses a fine sterile probe and a carefully controlled electrical current to treat the individual blemish.

A consultation is recommended before treatment to confirm that the area is suitable for cosmetic removal.

Skin tags are small, soft, benign growths that commonly develop in areas where the skin experiences friction, such as the neck, underarms and around the eyelids. They are generally harmless but can become irritated by clothing or jewellery, or simply be something you would prefer to have removed for cosmetic reasons.

Suitable skin tags can be treated at FACE Aesthetics Clinic in Castlebar using Advanced Cosmetic Procedures (ACP). The treatment is designed to target the individual skin tag while minimising disruption to the surrounding skin.

Before any treatment, your practitioner will assess the skin tag to determine whether cosmetic removal is appropriate. Any lesion that is changing, bleeding, painful, irregular or otherwise concerning should be medically assessed rather than treated purely for co What is ACP technology?

ACP stands for Advanced Cosmetic Procedures. It is a specialised form of advanced electrolysis used for the cosmetic treatment of certain minor skin blemishes.

ACP uses a fine sterile probe and a controlled electrical current to precisely treat suitable blemishes. Depending on the type of blemish being treated, the technique can be used for concerns such as milia and skin tags, as well as certain other benign skin irregularities.

ACP is sometimes referred to as advanced electrolysis, thermolysis or diathermy. It is different from traditional electrolysis used for hair removal and is specifically adapted for cosmetic blemish treatment.

At FACE Aesthetics Clinic, your skin will be assessed before treatment to establish whether ACP is appropriate for your particular concern.

Milia and skin tag removal using ACP is generally well tolerated. You may feel a brief warming, tingling or pinching sensation as the area is treated.

The level of discomfort can vary depending on the location, size and number of blemishes being treated. Your practitioner will talk you through the procedure and can advise you on ways to make the treatment as comfortable as possible.

Because ACP is a precise treatment applied directly to the individual blemish, treatment can be relatively quick, depending on how many areas require attention.

Milia and skin tag removal with ACP typically involves minimal downtime, although the treated area will need time to heal.

Immediately following treatment, you may notice some redness, mild swelling or sensitivity. A small crust or scab can also develop as the treated area heals. It is important not to pick or scratch the area and to follow the aftercare advice provided by your practitioner.

Healing time varies depending on the size and location of the blemish, the number of areas treated and your individual skin. Your practitioner will explain what to expect during your consultation and provide appropriate aftercare advice.

The number of treatments required depends on the type, size and number of blemishes being treated.

Many individual milia or skin tags may be treated in a single appointment, while multiple or more complex blemishes may require additional treatment or a follow-up appointment. The treatment area and number of blemishes will be assessed during your consultation so that your practitioner can give you a more personalised recommendation.

The aim is to treat each suitable blemish as precisely as possible while allowing the skin adequate time to recover.
