This method effectively treats various skin imperfections by either coagulating blood vessels, removing excess tissue, or releasing trapped substances, depending on the type of blemish.

BLEMISH REMOVALS FAQS
Sterex can treat a variety of blemishes, including milia, cherry angiomas (blood spots), skin tags, telangiectasia (thread veins), xanthelasma, and seborrheic keratosis. Each blemish type is addressed according to its specific characteristics.
The Sterex procedure is generally well-tolerated, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort or a slight stinging sensation during treatment. Pain levels vary depending on the type and location of the blemish.
After a Sterex treatment, the treated area may appear red or slightly swollen, which is normal. Some blemishes may form a small scab or crust, which should not be picked at. The healing process typically involves minimal downtime.
Aftercare includes keeping the treated area clean and applying any recommended soothing creams or ointments. Avoid picking at the area, sun exposure, and using harsh products to promote optimal healing and minimise the risk of scarring.
The time it takes for blemishes to fade can vary depending on the type and size of the blemish. Generally, improvement is visible within a few weeks, but full healing may take a few months. Your therapist will provide a more specific timeline based on your individual treatment.
Side effects are generally minimal but may include temporary redness, swelling, or slight discomfort. Rarely, there may be a risk of scarring or pigmentation changes if aftercare instructions are not followed properly.
