? Understanding Different Types of Skin Blemishes (and How to Treat Them Professionally)
We all get them — little bumps, tags, or red marks that seem to appear out of nowhere. But not all blemishes are the same, and knowing what you’re dealing with is the first step to treating it safely.
At Distinction Beauty, Glasgow Southside, we specialise in Advanced Blemish Removal using gentle electrolysis techniques that precisely target a wide range of common skin imperfections.
Here’s your guide to the most common blemishes — and how to finally say goodbye to them.
? 1️⃣ Milia
Tiny, white or yellowish hard bumps often found around the eyes or cheeks.
They form when dead skin and keratin get trapped beneath the skin’s surface — and no, they won’t “pop.”
? Treatment:
Professional removal using advanced electrolysis safely breaks the surface layer and releases the trapped keratin without damaging the surrounding skin.
? 2️⃣ Skin Tags
Soft, flesh-coloured growths that hang off the skin, often found on the neck, underarms, or around the eyes. They’re completely harmless — but can catch on clothing or jewellery.
? Treatment:
Quick, safe, and virtually painless removal using electrolysis. Most tags are gone in a single session with minimal healing time.
? 3️⃣ Blood Spots (Cherry Angiomas)
Small, bright-red bumps caused by dilated capillaries under the skin. Common on the chest, shoulders, and arms, and they tend to appear more with age.
? Treatment:
Electrolysis precisely cauterises the area, instantly reducing redness and flattening the blemish.
? 4️⃣ Red Veins / Thread Veins
Fine, visible red lines on the face, often caused by sun exposure, genetics, or rosacea. While they’re harmless, they can make skin appear flushed or uneven.
? Treatment:
Advanced electrolysis gently coagulates the tiny capillaries, reducing their visibility and leaving skin clearer and calmer.
? 5️⃣ Seborrhoeic Keratosis
Warty, rough-textured patches that can range from light brown to black. Often mistaken for moles, these are harmless but can look and feel uneven.
? Treatment:
We use precise electrolysis techniques to remove the raised surface safely, improving both comfort and appearance.
? 6️⃣ Warts and Verrucas
Caused by viral infections (HPV), these growths can appear on the hands, feet, or body. They can be stubborn and spread easily without professional care.
? Treatment:
Electrolysis targets the blood supply feeding the wart, helping to shrink and eliminate it naturally over time.
? 7️⃣ Sebaceous Hyperplasia
Small, soft yellow bumps caused by overactive oil glands, usually on the forehead or nose. They can resemble whiteheads but never squeeze them — it can make them worse.
? Treatment:
A fine probe gently releases the blockage, restoring a smooth, even surface to the skin.
? Why Professional Removal Matters
While it’s tempting to “DIY” blemish removal, home treatments can cause irritation, infection, or permanent scarring.
At Distinction Beauty, our advanced electrolysis method precisely targets only the blemish — leaving the surrounding skin healthy and intact.
