The Skin Classic direct high frequency technology is an affordable non-laser treatment for minor skin irregularities such as telangiectasis (broken capillaries), cherry angiomas, keratosis, fibromas, skin tags, hyperpigmentation, milia, sebaceous hyperplasia, and acne. Skin Classic treatments are quick, virtually painless, and work strictly on the epidermis to address common skin irregularities as the skin ages.
The Skin Classic precisely treats and/or removes each irregularity permanently, or semi-permanently, without the use of lasers, cutting, burning, or freezing which can effect areas of the skin not being treated. The Skin Classic utilizes a lamprobe to transmit an electric current to effectively vaporize and dehydrate the skin irregularity with little downtime and no damage to surrounding tissue.
Although rare, the following may occur with treatment:
1. DISCOMFORT - Some discomfort may be experienced during treatment. A light stinging sensation is felt in the areas being treated.
2. WOUND HEALING - Treatment can result in swelling, blistering, crusting, or flaking of the treated areas, which may require one to three weeks to heal. Once the surface has healed, it may be pink or sensitive to the sun for an additional two to four weeks, or longer in some patients.
3. BRUISING/SWELLING/INFECTION - Bruising of the treated area may occur. Additionally, there may be some swelling noted. Finally, skin infection is a possibility although rare, whenever a skin procedure is performed.
4. PIGMENT CHANGES (Skin Color) - During the healing process, there is a possibility that the treated area can become either lighter or darker in color compared to the surrounding skin. This is usually temporary, but, on a rare occasion, it may be permanent.
5. SCARRING - Scarring is a rare occurrence, but it is a possibility when the skin’s surface is disrupted. To minimize the chances of scarring, it is IMPORTANT that you follow all post treatment instructions carefully.
6. BLEEDING: Pinpoint bleeding is rare but can occur following HF treatment procedures. This is usually in the vascular areas being treated.
7. SKIN PATOLOGY: Energy directed at skin lesions may potentially vaporize the lesion. Only clearly benign pigmented lesions can be treated. Check with your dermatologist for clearance for the treatment if the lesion has changed in color, size, extremely elevated or is painful to the touch.
8. ALLERGY REACTION: In rare cases, local allergies to tape, preservatives used in cosmetics or topical preparations, have been reported.
