Many of us have looked in the mirror at some point and wondered about funny-looking skin bumps, tiny red spots or little bits of skin that seem to grow out of nowhere on the face, neck or chest. What are they? They’re not pimples. They’re not moles. And no, they are not some kind of cootie. They are minor skin irregularities, such as sebaceous hyperplasia, cherry angiomas and skin tags, and all can be easily treated with the non-invasive Skin Classic procedure.
This procedure uses high-frequency technology that dehydrates the top layer of the particular skin irregularity, allowing new, healthy skin to appear and glow. It is an affordable, non-laser option for minor skin irregularities, and the treatments are quick, precise and effective. Besides skin imperfections like sebaceous hyperplasia, cherry angiomas and skin tags, the procedure also can address broken capillaries, fibromas, milia, seborrheic keratosis and flat hyperpigmentation.
Especially for treating hyperpigmentation, it’s a game changer. It brings the hyperpigmentation up to the surface, then after about five to seven days, the dark spots will peel, revealing even-toned skin.
The treatment is virtually pain free except for a slight “stingle,” which is not really a sting, but slightly more than a tingle. There is no piercing or penetration of the skin, as it only treats irregularities on the epidermis, the outermost layer of skin. The cost of the treatments varies depending on the amount of work and lesions that need addressed. This will be determined during the consultation prior to treatment.
Downtime is minimal. After treatment, you will be slightly red and inflamed, depending on the extent of the treated area. Between 24 and 48 hours afterward, a scab-like crust will form over the area. This will fall off on its own in a matter of days. In some cases, you may need more than one treatment on certain irregularities to be completely rid of them.
If you are interested in the Skin Classic procedure, make an appointment for a consultation with a licensed medical aesthetician who offers this type of service. He or she can look at your skin irregularities, tell you whether they can be treated and how much it will cost, as well as answer any other questions you may have.
