Expert Skin Cyst Treatment in Chelmsford
Advanced Electrolysis Treatment at The Chelmsford Skin Clinic
Treatment Price — £150
Your appointment includes a full assessment of the cyst to confirm suitability for treatment. If appropriate, treatment can usually be carried out during the same visit.
At The Chelmsford Skin Clinic, we provide advanced electrolysis treatment for carefully selected superficial skin cysts.
Small skin cysts can become cosmetically bothersome, catch on clothing, or simply become something you would prefer not to have. Using advanced electrolysis, we can treat suitable cysts with a precise, minimally invasive technique designed to encourage the body to naturally break down the cyst over time.
Every cyst is individually assessed before treatment, ensuring advanced electrolysis is the most appropriate option for your individual skin concern.
What Is a Skin Cyst?
A skin cyst is a small sac that develops beneath the surface of the skin and is commonly filled with keratin or other material. They most frequently occur on the face, neck, scalp, back and body.
Although skin cysts are usually harmless, many people choose treatment because they:
Become more noticeable over time
Cause cosmetic concerns
Catch on clothing or jewellery
Feel uncomfortable or irritated
Affect confidence
How Does Advanced Electrolysis Work?
Advanced electrolysis uses a fine sterile probe to deliver controlled heat energy directly into the cyst.
This stimulates the body's natural healing response, encouraging the cyst to gradually break down and be reabsorbed over time.
Treatment is precise, minimally invasive and designed to cause minimal disruption to the surrounding skin.
Who Is Suitable for Treatment?
Advanced electrolysis is most suitable for:
Small superficial skin cysts
Well-defined cysts close to the surface of the skin
Patients looking for a minimally invasive treatment option
Not all cysts are suitable for advanced electrolysis. During your appointment, we will assess the size, depth and type of cyst to determine whether treatment is appropriate.

What to Expect
Assessment
Your appointment begins with an assessment of the cyst to confirm that advanced electrolysis is suitable. If appropriate, treatment can usually be carried out during the same appointment.
Treatment
Treatment typically takes 20–30 minutes, depending on the size and location of the cyst.
Healing
Following treatment, you may experience:
Mild redness
Temporary tenderness
A small protective scab as the area heals
The treated area will gradually settle over the following weeks as the body naturally responds to treatment. Detailed aftercare advice will be provided before you leave the clinic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can every skin cyst be treated with advanced electrolysis?
No. Advanced electrolysis is suitable for selected superficial cysts. During your appointment, we will assess whether this treatment is appropriate for your individual cyst.
Is treatment painful?
Most patients describe the treatment as very manageable, experiencing only a brief heat or pricking sensation during the procedure.
Will I need more than one treatment?
Many suitable cysts respond well to a single treatment, although some may require additional sessions depending on the size of the cyst and how it responds during healing.
Is there any downtime?
Downtime is minimal. Mild redness, tenderness and a small scab are common immediately after treatment and usually settle as the skin heals.
Can treatment be carried out on the same day?
Yes. If your cyst is suitable for advanced electrolysis, treatment can usually be carried out during the same appointment.
