Reducing Syringomas with Thermolysis Treatment

Syringomas – what they are and how they’re caused

A skin condition with an unfamiliar and rather alarming sounding name, syringomas are actually harmless benign tumours. Tiny in size – no more than 3mm in diameter – they’re often formed by an excessive growth of cells in the sweat ducts. Syringoma is often mistaken for Millia, but unlike that condition they are composed of soft tissue rather than harder keratin.

Perhaps the most familiar site for syringomas is under the eye, where they often appear as vaguely cream-coloured bumps. Given the sensitivity of this area, any Syringoma Removal or Reduction Treatment has to be carefully carried out by trained Practitioners.

How we treat Syringomas at Advanced Electrolysis Clinic in Leeds

Before treatment can begin, it’s important that you attend a brief consultation with your Electrologist. This is to ensure that Syringomas really are present, rather than some other skin condition which has a similar appearance.

We’ve found that applying a low Thermolysis current provides highly effective treatment to shrink or remove Syringomas. Here at our Yorkshire clinic, your Electrologist will use a slender needle to direct the current to the affected area. Our clients tell us that they experience nothing more severe than a little mild discomfort during this process.

You may notice a little swelling as a result of your treatment, with the formation of small scabs, but all of this is quite normal and will clear up within a couple of weeks.

Treatment normally takes just 15-30 minutes, depending in how severely the area may be affected. We’d recommend that each eye is treated at a separate appointment.
