Syringoma Removal at The Chelmsford Skin Clinic
Syringomas are small, benign skin growths that commonly appear around the eyes, cheeks, and sometimes on other areas of the face. Although they are harmless, many people choose to have them removed for cosmetic reasons. At The Chelmsford Skin Clinic, we offer safe and precise syringoma removal using advanced electrolysis, a highly effective treatment for these delicate lesions.
What Are Syringomas?
Syringomas are non-cancerous growths that develop from the sweat glands. They usually appear as small, flesh-coloured or slightly yellowish bumps and are most commonly found around the lower eyelids.
They often develop during adolescence or early adulthood and may gradually increase in number over time.
Common characteristics include:
Small bumps typically 1–3 mm in size
Flesh-coloured, yellowish, or slightly translucent
Most commonly appear around the eyes
Often occur in clusters
Usually painless and non-itchy
Although syringomas are medically harmless, many patients seek treatment because they can be cosmetically noticeable.
Syringoma Removal with Advanced Electrolysis
At The Chelmsford Skin Clinic, we use advanced electrolysis to safely remove syringomas with precision.
This treatment involves using a very fine probe to deliver a controlled electrical current directly to the lesion. The heat energy gently destroys the syringoma tissue while minimising damage to the surrounding skin.
Advanced electrolysis is particularly suitable for the delicate eye area, where accuracy and careful treatment are essential.
Benefits of Advanced Electrolysis
Highly precise treatment
Suitable for delicate facial areas
Minimal damage to surrounding skin
Effective for individual or multiple lesions
Quick treatment sessions
Excellent cosmetic outcomes
What to Expect During Treatment
Your appointment will begin with a consultation and skin assessment to confirm that the lesions are syringomas and that electrolysis is the most appropriate treatment.
During the procedure:
The area is cleansed and prepared
A sterile, very fine probe is used to treat each syringoma
The electrical current targets the lesion while protecting surrounding skin
A soothing aftercare product is applied
Most appointments take 15–30 minutes, depending on the number of syringomas being treated.
Recovery and Aftercare
After treatment, the skin may appear slightly red and small scabs may form where the syringomas were treated. This is a normal part of the healing process.
Healing typically occurs within 5–10 days.
Aftercare advice includes:
Keeping the area clean and dry
Avoiding makeup on the treated area for 24–48 hours
Not picking any small scabs
Applying sunscreen to protect the healing skin
Our team will provide full aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible results.
Results
Advanced electrolysis can significantly improve the appearance of syringomas by removing individual lesions with precision. In some cases, multiple treatments may be recommended if there are numerous syringomas.
While treated syringomas are permanently removed, new ones may occasionally develop over time.
Treatment Cost

£80 – £150 per session
