The Skin Classic is a treatment that offers an alternative to lasers for addressing common skin issues. It uses high-frequency radio waves with a fine probe to precisely vaporize minor skin imperfections like skin tags, cherry angiomas, milia, and sebaceous hyperplasia, dehydrating them so they dry and fall off, offering a non-invasive alternative to lasers for spot treatments, with quick procedures and a typical healing crust forming for 1-2 weeks before revealing new skin.
What is the duration of a treatment, and is there any downtime?
A Skin Classic treatment can target a single blemish or be conducted over a 15 or 30 minute session. Following the treatment, a small crust will form over the treated blemish, with recovery time being minimal.
A few days post-treatment, mild redness and a small scab or “crust” will appear over the treated area due to desiccation. Depending on the type of irregularity treated, it may take between 7-14 days for the crust to fall off and up to 30 days for complete healing. To expedite healing, moisturizer and antibiotic ointment can be applied, and concealer can be used after the first 24 hours. As the Skin Classic treatment is non-invasive, it will take some time for the full results to manifest.
Does the Skin Classic treatment cause pain?
While the Skin Classic treatment does involve some minor discomfort. The level of discomfort can vary depending on the area being treated and the specific irregularity.
How will my skin look after the treatment?
Your skin may be red and swollen for a few hours after the treatment. The redness will fade faster if you have a darker skin tone. You may also have some scabs depending on the type and location of the treatment.
What if the skin problem is still there after 30 days?
You may need another treatment for some skin issues.
Why can’t you fix the broken blood vessels on my legs?
The skin classic is not suitable for lower body parts. You should try saline injections or laser therapy instead.
What if my skin takes longer to heal than expected?
Ensure optimal results by diligently adhering to the recommended aftercare routine. Avoid picking or touching the treated area, allowing the scab to naturally detach—consider it nature's bandage. Post-scab, the skin may exhibit a temporary pink hue, gradually returning to its natural state over time. Feel free to apply makeup 24 hours post-procedure. Enhance the healing process by incorporating LED light treatments, an option available here at DeJon Aesthetics & Wellness to expedite recovery. Regarding pigmented lesions/age spots, it is generally safe to undergo treatment, but consult with our aesthetics practitioner, Melissa for personalized advice based on your unique skin profile.
Is it safe to treat dark spots or age spots?
You should always check with your doctor before treating any spot that looks suspicious. We won’t treat anything that we think is risky.
Common Skin Concerns
Skin may develop benign irregularities such as skin tags (soft, raised growths), dark spots (localized hyperpigmentation), and milia (small, keratin‑filled cysts). Other concerns can include uneven texture, cystic acne, and blackheads. These conditions are common and can be addressed with targeted professional treatments.
A skin tag, also known as a benign tumor, typically forms in areas where the skin folds, such as the neck, armpit, and groin. They can also appear on the eyelids or other parts of the face. These growths are harmless, usually painless, and remain stable over time without any growth or change. Skin tags can vary in size, with some reaching up to half an inch long, but they are most commonly about the size of a rice grain. The texture of these tags can range from smooth to rough. They can become irritated due to shaving, clothing, or jewelry. Factors such as weight gain, genetics, diabetes, and pregnancy are common causes. Skin tags are also more prevalent in women than men.
