Skin lesions and visible veins, while often harmless, can significantly impact your confidence and the overall appearance of your skin. Aesthetica White Lies offers a variety of advanced, minimally invasive treatments designed to help address these common concerns. In this article, we’ll explore the skin lesions and vein conditions they treat, as well as the procedures used to achieve clearer, healthier skin.
Understanding common skin lesions and vein conditions
Your skin goes through a lot – sun exposure, genetics, and ageing can all lead to various skin irregularities. Some of the most frequently treated conditions at Aesthetica White Lies include:
- Moles: Small, pigmented spots on the skin that are mostly harmless but may be removed for cosmetic reasons.
- Skin tags: Small, benign growths that typically appear in friction-prone areas like the neck and armpits.
- Spider veins and broken capillaries: Fine, visible veins that typically show up on the legs or face.
- Varicose veins: Larger, swollen veins, usually in the legs, that can cause both cosmetic and physical discomfort.
- Cherry angiomas: Small, red growths caused by clusters of blood vessels, often appearing on the torso.
It’s important to consult with a dermatologist for reassurance, particularly with moles and skin tags, to ensure they are benign before pursuing cosmetic removal. Addressing these issues not only improves your skin’s appearance but can also boost your overall confidence.
Treatment options for skin lesions and veins
Vascular thermo-coagulation for spider veins
Aesthetica White Lies provides vascular thermo-coagulation, a non-invasive procedure perfect for treating fine spider veins and smaller vascular lesions.
- How it works: A fine probe delivers high-frequency energy to the vein, causing it to collapse and be absorbed by the body.
- Benefits: Precise, safe, and ideal for sensitive areas like the face.
- Suitability: Best for fine spider veins and smaller vascular lesions.
- Downtime: Minimal, with any redness usually disappearing within hours.
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy for pigmented and vascular lesions
Aesthetica White Lies also offers IPL therapy, a versatile treatment addressing both pigmented and vascular lesions, such as age spots and spider veins.
- How it works: IPL uses light pulses to target melanin in pigmented spots and haemoglobin in veins, breaking down these cells for natural removal.
- Benefits: Treats multiple concerns in one session.
- Suitability: Great for those with lighter skin tones and larger areas affected by age spots or veins.
- Downtime: Minimal, with redness typically subsiding within days.
Plasmatek for mole and skin tag removal
Plasmatek is another cutting-edge, non-invasive procedure at Aesthetica White Lies, ideal for removing benign skin lesions like moles and skin tags.
- How it works: Plasma energy cauterises the lesion, instantly removing it and forming a small scab that heals naturally.
- Benefits: Quick, effective, and offers precise lesion removal.
- Suitability: Ideal for those looking to remove small, benign skin lesions in one session.
- Downtime: Minimal, with the treated area healing within a week.
Cryotherapy for benign skin lesions
Aesthetica White Lies uses cryotherapy to treat benign skin lesions such as moles, skin tags, and warts through the application of extreme cold.
- How it works: Liquid nitrogen freezes the lesion, which then darkens and falls off over time.
- Benefits: Effective for larger or multiple lesions.
- Suitability: Suitable for a variety of benign lesions and multiple growths.
- Downtime: Minimal, with the lesion falling off in 1–2 weeks.
Sclerotherapy for spider and varicose veins
Sclerotherapy, available at Aesthetica White Lies, is a tried-and-true method for treating larger veins, particularly on the legs.
- How it works: A medical solution is injected into the vein, causing it to collapse and be absorbed by the body.
- Benefits: Highly effective for larger veins.
- Suitability: Best for medium to large veins, especially in the legs.
- Downtime: Minimal, though compression stockings are recommended for optimal healing.

Maintaining healthy skin requires consistent care. Aesthetica White Lies recommends these simple tips to prevent future skin issues:
- Sun protection: Always use sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and avoid prolonged sun exposure.
- Healthy lifestyle: Regular exercise and a balanced diet can improve circulation and prevent vein issues.
- Skincare routine: Use moisturisers with antioxidants like vitamin C to keep your skin in good condition.
