What it is

Age spots and blood spots

Age spots are flat brown patches that build up after years of sun exposure, often on the face and the backs of the hands. Blood spots, sometimes called Campbell de Morgan spots, are the small bright red raised dots that appear as we get older.

Both are very common and harmless. At Helena Aesthetics on Acklam Road in Middlesbrough I treat them with advanced electrolysis, a precise, non-surgical method with no cutting.

Your visit

What to expect

How long it takes

most treatments take between 10 and 30 minutes, depending on the size and number of spots.

Does it hurt?

Most people feel only a mild warm or tingling sensation.

Healing

smaller spots usually heal in around 10 days. Larger or deeper marks can take up to two months to fully settle.

Aftercare

I give you personalised aftercare advice and a soothing gel or powder if needed, and I ask you back for a check two months later.

A changing brown spot should always be checked. If a mark is new, growing or changing, I will ask you to see your GP first, for your safety.

The method

How advanced electrolysis treats a spot

1

A fine needle, no cut

A very fine, sterile needle, about as thin as a hair, is gently placed on the spot. There is no cutting.

2

A little controlled heat

A small, controlled amount of heat passes through the needle into the mark.

3

The spot is treated

The heat gently treats the spot, without harming the healthy skin around it.

4

It fades or lifts away

Over the following days the spot fades or dries and lifts away naturally.

Cannot recommend enough!!! Always struggled with body image, from tiny little skin tags that progressively got bigger on my neck and eyelids, and I am so glad I trusted Helena to get rid of them for me, the confidence I feel now is unmatched! Family members will be getting theirs done now too! Pain is minimal, and controlled on your own terms which helped massively having the confidence to just ask for a quick break from treatment in the tender areas. Left with no scarring and photos to prove below. Fantastic customer service, and I’m about to book a 3rd appointment for my final skin tag removal! Gone forever, no scarring, more than fair prices. 10/10 ❤️ see photos, before, after treatment and once healed (1 week later) x

Absolutely love my results! My brows have a lovely subtle lift, my eyes look more open, and my forehead looks smooth while still feeling completely natural. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you, Helena - you are truly the Best!!!

As I’ve got older, I’ve noticed my lips gradually losing volume and definition, feeling thinner and paler than they used to. I never felt comfortable with the idea of Botox, fillers or any invasive cosmetic procedures – I wanted something gentler but still effective. That’s why permanent lip tattooing felt like the perfect choice: it would add natural-looking colour, restore shape and give me a fresher, more youthful look without the risks or downtime of surgery. After researching my options, I found Helen and immediately felt reassured by her years of expertise and glowing reputation. From our very first chat, she was incredibly professional, taking time to explain every step, talk through colours that would suit my skin tone, and answer all my questions patiently. Her communication was clear and friendly throughout, and I felt completely confident putting my trust in her. The results have exceeded my expectations – my lips look fuller, more vibrant, and perfectly natural. Helen’s skill and attention to detail are outstanding, and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone considering this treatment!

I had an anti-wrinkle treatment at Helena Cosmetics and the results were amazing! My skin looks smoother, and more lifted. Elena was professional and made me feel totally at ease. I didn’t expect such a noticeable difference! I highly recommend.

I’ve had 3 sessions of PRP for hair regrowth and facial PRP (vampire facial) and can’t recommend her enough. Extremely knowledgable and friendly and very competitive prices for such high quality service.

I had a chain of skin tags around my neck that made me feel self-conscious. Helena removed them so carefully, and now I wear necklaces and open tops with confidence. She’s a miracle worker!

I always thought eyeliner wouldn’t work on my hooded eyes, but Helena proved me wrong. She created a subtle, lifted wing that opens my eyes up beautifully. I haven’t worn eyeliner since because I don’t need to!

I had a plasma facial today and it was absolutely amazing! The treatment was so professional, and I already feel like my skin is glowing. Helena explained everything clearly and made me feel totally at ease. I’m so excited to see the results as my skin heals, I already feel more confident. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about giving their skin a boost!

I had PRP plasma with Helena for years and always love my results. It takes time to see it and if you do regularly you will see the brightness , glowing and hydration in your skin. She takes your blood really gently and professionally. Also she suggests and explains about the treatment and how many should I do it. 3-5-8 treatments and you love to see your face in the mirror 🥰. Helena thank you for my glowing skin ! 🥰

I highly recommend Helena for aesthetic improvements. After a medical condition a few years ago left half of my face slightly droopy, I wanted to address the lingering effects. I was nervous about the process, but Helena immediately put me at ease. I trust her completely. Her skill and attention to detail have made a significant positive impact on my appearance, and I'm so grateful for her expertise.
