How will they be removed?
Moles, skin tags and age/sun spots will be removed via burning with a CE certified Plasma Pen.
What is Plasma?
Plasma is often called “the fourth state of matter,” along with solid, liquid and gas. Just as a liquid will boil, changing into a gas when energy is added, heating a gas will form a plasma – a soup of positively charged particles (ions) and negatively charged particles (electrons).
Does it hurt?
The first initial touch may be uncomfortable, but after that there should be minimal pain, regarding all prior care is followed correctly. However if you are on medication, or it is the time of the month you may be more sensitive. Men also tend to feel pain, more than women.
How much is it?
Prices start at £100-£300, depending on the size of the lesion.
If you decide to have more than one removed within the same sitting we charge an extra £50 per extra lesion.
Is there any downtime?
Once removed you will be left with a brown crust/scab which should disappear within 3-14 days, depending on your immune system. We recommend you take high dose vitamin C dissolvable tablets for faster healing.
When the scab/crust disappears the skin will be pink, as the fresh new skin develops. This can take unto 12 weeks, but is usually back to normal much sooner. However even if the skin is back to its original colour you must avoid the treated area coming into contact with the sun or sunbeds, as this can cause pigmentation or scarring.
Is there any aftercare?
You will be giving a pot of burns gel to apply morning and night, along with all the aftercare sent via WhatsApp.
How do I know if it’s safe for removal?
Although we have been trained in cancerous and non-cancerous moles we ALWAYS suggest you get it checked with a doctor before your appointment, as 2 sets of eyes are better than one and its always best to get a second opinion.
What will it look like after?
You will have a brown crust (scab) straight after, which can last 3-14 days, once this comes away the skin will be bright pink, this is just the brand new skin coming to the surface and can last unto 12 weeks, before returning bak to normal skin colour.
Will it scar?
There is always a chance of scarring, especially if prior and aftercare isn’t followed, or you have medical conditions, but 99% of our clients are left with no visible mark and you would never know they previously had a mole or skin tag.
Age/Sun spots
Age/sun spots are caused by an excess production of melanin due to skin aging and sun exposure or other forms of ultraviolet light exposure, such as tanning beds.
They are most likely to develop on the areas of your skin that receive the most sun exposure, including the face, back of hands, chest, shoulders and forearms.
Milia
Small, raised, pearly-white or yellowish bumps on the skin.
They are most often seen on the skin around the cheeks, nose, eyes and eyelids, forehead and chest but they can occur anywhere on the body.
Seborrheic Keratosis

A seborrheic keratosis: Varies in color, usually from light tan to brown or black. Is round or oval shaped.
Cherry Angioma
These blood spots are common skin growths which can grow on most areas of your body and are usually found on people aged 30 and older. The broken blood vessels inside a cherry angioma give them a reddish appearance.
They are no cause for concern, unless they bleed or change shape or colour. Cause is unknown, possibly a genetic factor, linked to pregnancy, chemicals or climate change and age.
Skin Tags
A Skin Tag is a small flap of tissue that hangs off the skin by a connecting stalk. Skin tags are not dangerous.
They appear most often in women, especially with weight gain and in elderly people. Irritation can occur if the skin tag frequency rubs against clothing or jewellery.Skin Tags are usually a few millimetres in size, although can be bigger.
They are usually found on the neck, in the armpits, around the groin, or under the breasts. They can also grow on the eyelids or under the folds of the buttocks.
Moles
Moles are a common type of skin growth. They often appear as small, dark brown spots and are caused by clusters of pigmented cells.
Moles generally appear during childhood & adolescence.
Most people have 10 to 40 moles, some of which may change in appearance or fade away over time.
Most moles are harmless. Rarely, they become cancerous.
Monitoring moles and other pigmented patches is an important step in detecting skin cancer, especially malignant melanoma.
