Diathermy – Targeted Removal of Skin Imperfections
Where small concerns meet a Neue, clear beginning.
What to Expect at Your Diathermy Appointment
Your treatment begins with a personalised consultation where your Neue therapist assesses your concerns, explains the process, and outlines your expected results and aftercare.
On the day of your treatment, you’ll be taken into one of our advanced treatment rooms where we use precise RF (radio frequency) settings through our electrolysis devices to safely target and remove unwanted lesions.
You may feel a brief, warm sting during the procedure, but discomfort is minimal and short-lived. Most concerns are removed instantly, with visible improvement at the end of your appointment.
After treatment, you’ll receive simple home-care instructions. The area should be kept clean, dry and uncovered while the tiny scab naturally forms and heals. Mild redness or temporary skin discolouration is normal and settles as the skin recovers.
What Is Diathermy?
Diathermy is a safe, non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses controlled radio frequency energy to effectively remove a wide range of minor skin irregularities, including:
- Skin tags
- Milia
- Sebaceous hyperplasia
- Broken / dilated capillaries
- Red spots (Campbell de Morgan)
- White spots
- Benign raised lesions
It is a bloodless, precise treatment that requires no stitches and minimal downtime. Diathermy is commonly used on the face, neck, décolletage, shoulders and upper back—areas most affected by sun exposure and environmental factors.
How Diathermy Works
Using targeted radio frequency heat delivered through a fine probe, diathermy gently dehydrates and coagulates the unwanted lesion. Once the tissue is treated:
- The lesion visibly reduces or disappears instantly
- A small crust forms over the area
- The crust naturally falls away within several days
- New, clear skin appears underneath
This method allows for quick results, high precision, and minimal trauma to surrounding skin.
