What are Campbell de Morgan spots?

Campbell de Morgan spots are bright red spots usually a couple of millimetres across although they may grow to half a centimetre. They are usually very bright red and have a very clear margin. They should not be confused with thread veins or spider veins which have red streaky veins radiating away from them.

Campbell de Morgan spots are coils of abnormal blood vessels that come through the skin very close to the surface hence their bright red colour.

They are not usually seen in children but usually develop on the skin as one gets older. They become more common and larger as you get older. They are often found on the chest, abdomen or arms or less often, on the back or neck.

Are Campbell de Morgan spots dangerous?

No. Campbell de Morgan spots do not grow or develop into anything else. They cannot change into a malignant growth (cancer) they are purely a cosmetic problem. Having them should not worry you.

International Master Course on Ageing Skin (IMCAS)

Vicki Smith presented at the International Master Course on Ageing Skin (IMCAS) conference held in Paris over the four days commencing 26th January 2012. Vicki presented her findings on using Advanced Electrolysis for the removal of Xanthelasma. This condition is a build-up of lipids which present themselves above and below the eye area and affects men and women. Existing treatments to remove the condition can be expensive, have varying success and often leave some scarring. Vicki’s results to date have shown that these lesions can be removed quickly, economically and leave little to no scarring.

Laser Hair Removal

Absolute Aesthetics has recently invested in a new system for laser hair removal treatment.

Imagine never having to shave, pluck or wax ever again!

The Soprano System is a unique, virtually pain free hair removal treatment, which works on all skin types, including tanned skin and all hair pigmentation. It works by safely and gently heating the dermis (skin) to a temperature that damages the hair follicle, preventing re-growth. It is fast, reliable and suitable for all skin types.
