Thermolysis: A Quick, Effective Way to Clear Stubborn Skin Concerns
Have you ever noticed a little skin tag that catches on your necklace, or those tiny red veins that show up on your cheeks out of nowhere? They can be distracting, even when you’re otherwise glowing. The good news is, there’s a fast, precise treatment that can take care of them with minimal downtime: thermolysis.
At The Piercing Beauty, I combine advanced esthetics with a touch of theatrical flair, and thermolysis is one of my favorite “behind-the-scenes magic tricks” for skin.
Spider Capillary
That little red “Y” on the chin? Thermolysis zaps it away so your glow takes center stage.
What is Thermolysis?
Thermolysis is a specialized treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to gently heat and coagulate targeted skin imperfections. Think of it as a highly precise spotlight shining only where it’s needed, leaving the rest of your skin untouched. The treatment is safe, effective, and doesn’t require invasive procedures.
What Can Thermolysis Treat?
One of the best parts about thermolysis is how versatile it is. Common concerns that can be treated include:
Skin tags – those little flaps of skin that always seem to get in the way
Spider capillaries – tiny red veins, often on the nose and cheeks
Cholesterol deposits (xanthelasma) – small, yellowish bumps near the eyes
Sebaceous hyperplasia – raised spots from overactive oil glands
Dermatosis papulosa nigra (DPNs) – often called “Morgan Freeman spots”
Keratosis – small, non-cancerous raised bumps
Cherry angiomas – bright red spots on the skin
Each of these could be a blog post on its own (and don’t worry, I’ll get there), but for now, know that thermolysis is a powerful, multi-purpose option.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Your thermolysis session begins with a consultation to ensure the treatment is right for you. The skin is cleansed, and then I use a fine probe to deliver radiofrequency energy to the targeted spot. Clients often describe the sensation as a quick “pinch” or flash of heat.
Treatment time: Usually just minutes per spot
Afterward: The area may form a small scab as it heals
Healing time: Quick—usually a week or less, depending on the area
Goodbye skin tag, hello smooth skin. Thermolysis makes it quick, safe, and confidence-boosting.
Benefits of Thermolysis
Quick results, often after a single session
No downtime—you can go right back to your day
Targets only the spot of concern without harming surrounding skin
A confidence boost when those distractions are gone
Is Thermolysis Right for You?
Thermolysis is safe and effective for many people, but a consultation is the best way to know for sure. It’s not recommended for clients who are pregnant, have certain medical conditions, or are currently using specific medications. I’ll review everything with you before we begin to make sure it’s the right fit.
Aftercare Tips
To keep your results looking their best:
Keep the treated area clean and dry
Avoid picking at any tiny scabs (they fall away on their own)
Apply SPF daily to protect healing skin
Use gentle skincare products for a few days post-treatment
Broken Capillary Treatment
That tiny red thread by the eye? Thermolysis clears it quickly and safely so your skin steals the spotlight, not the capillary
