What we treat
Choose the concern that matches yours. Every page explains what the blemish is, how we treat it, what to expect and how it heals.
Skin tags
Soft, harmless growths on the neck, underarms, eyelids and body folds. Usually treated in one short appointment.
Milia
Tiny white cysts around the eyes and cheeks that will not squeeze out. Released precisely, with aftercare advice to help the skin settle.
Xanthelasma
Yellowish cholesterol deposits on the eyelids. Reduced over one or more sessions with careful, conservative treatment.
Thread veins
Fine red or purple veins on the face, including spider naevi and cheek capillaries. Sealed and faded.
Warts and verrucae
Stubborn viral growths on hands, face and body. Treated so they can clear without harsh freezing.
Sebaceous cysts
Firm lumps under the skin caused by a blocked gland. Assessed properly and treated where suitable.
Sebaceous hyperplasia
Small yellowish bumps with a central dip, often on the forehead and cheeks, frequently mistaken for spots.
Mole reduction
Cosmetic reduction of raised, benign moles once they have been professionally checked.

How we treat blemishes
Most of our blemish work uses advanced electrolysis, also called Advanced Cosmetic Procedures: a very fine, sterile probe and a precise, controlled current applied directly to the blemish. It is precise and targeted, so treatment is focused on the blemish itself. Results and healing vary, and some blemishes need further sessions. Treatment consultations are free; prices and appointment lengths vary by treatment and are shown in our online booking system.
Before anything is treated we look properly. Some blemishes need a doctor’s opinion first; if yours does, we will say so. Moles in particular must be professionally confirmed before we carry out any cosmetic reduction.
Why Kolaine
Kolaine Farr holds a Level 4 Advanced Cosmetic Procedures qualification, qualified in advanced electrolysis in 2011, teaches the technique in association with Jane Bryan Beauty Training, and co-founded Blemish Pro, a supplementary membership platform for qualified practitioners. Treatments are carried out with Sterex SX-T and SX-B equipment. Kolaine was named Best Advanced Electrolysis & Skin Clinic 2026 in Northamptonshire at the Midlands Enterprise Awards.
Results
Results vary from person to person and we never present them as guaranteed.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a consultation before a blemish can be treated?
Many blemishes can be assessed and treated in the same appointment. Moles must be professionally checked before any cosmetic reduction, and some blemishes need a doctor’s opinion first; if yours does, we will say so rather than treat it.
How much does blemish removal cost?
Prices and appointment lengths vary by treatment and are shown, with current availability, in our online booking system. Treatment consultations are free.
Does it hurt?
You will feel a brief heat or sting at each point of treatment, usually for seconds. Most people describe it as very tolerable and are surprised how quick it is.
How does the skin heal?
A small scab or crust forms where the blemish was and drops off within a week or so, leaving fresh pink skin that settles over the following weeks. Keep the area clean and dry and do not pick.
Will the blemish come back?
Many treated blemishes do not come back, but results vary and some need further sessions. New blemishes can also appear elsewhere, particularly skin tags and milia, which have underlying causes. We will explain what you can do to reduce that.
Can you treat blemishes on darker skin?
Yes. Advanced electrolysis is precise and targeted, which makes it suitable across skin tones. We assess your skin first and treat conservatively where there is any risk of pigmentation changes.
