Treatment Information
What Is Skin Classic?
The Skin Classic uses high frequency electrical currents also known as electro-desiccation. Electro-desiccation dehydrates and dries out the top layer of the minor skin irregularity in order to allow new skin to grow and replace it.
Is It Safe?
Yes. Skin Classic can safely and effectively eliminate skin irregularities from almost anywhere on the body.
Who Is The Treatment For?
The Skin Classic is an award-winning laser alternative treatment for common skin irregularities such as broken capillaries, cherry angiomas, keratosis, skin tags, hyper-pigmentation, milia, and sebaceous hyperplasia.
How Does It Work?
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.
What Are The Advantages?
It is a highly effective treatment that is safe for all skin types for correcting a variety of irregularities. It is a non-invasive remedy that can reduce or diminish spots and imperfections that have not responded to alternative methods.

What Are Skin Classic Post-Procedure Instructions?
