Frequently Asked Questions

Skin Classic Treatment


What is Skin Classic?

The Skin Classic direct high-frequency technology is an amazing 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. 

What will my skin look like post-treatment?

The area treated may appear eurythmic (red) with some inflammation. The redness should reduce within a few hours. The lighter the skin tone, the longer it may take for the redness to subside. There may be some scabbing depending on the irregularity and the area of the body being treated.

What happens if the treated skin irregularity is still present 30 days later?

Some areas may need more than one treatment.

Is there any downtime?

Yes and no. After the treatment, it may look like there is a scab-like crust over the area. This will fall off on its own in 3-7 days. After that, the skin may look pinkish or brownish for up to 6-8 weeks as the new skin goes through the complete healing cycle and matches the surrounding area.

What do I do if it’s taking longer than expected to heal?

Be patient continue to use the recommended aftercare. Don’t pick or touch the treated area and allow the scab to fall off naturally. It’s nature’s bandaid!

Is it safe to treat pigmented lesions/age spots?

We strongly encourage you to have your doctor examine any spot that is questionable or suspicious. We will not treat any lesion that we feel is not safe to do so.

Before Your Skin Classic Treatment

  • DON’T go to a tanning bed two weeks prior to treatment. This practice should be discontinued due to the increased risk of skin cancer and signs of aging.

  • DON’T have another exfoliating treatment unless recommended

  • DON’T wax, tweeze or use depilatory creams for 7 days prior

  • AVOID extended sun exposure especially in the 10 days prior to treatment.

  • AVOID getting Botox, collagen or other chemical filler injections for two weeks before

  • DELAY use of Tretinoin, Retin-A, Renova, Differin, Tazorac, Avage, EpiDuo, Ziana, and high-percentage AHA and BHA products for approximately seven days prior to treatment. Consult your physician before temporarily discontinuing the use of any prescription medications.

  • IF you are lactating, pregnant, or may become pregnant, consult your physician before receiving any treatments.

  • Treatments may cause slight redness, tightness, peeling, flaking or temporary dryness.

  • Most patients find it unnecessary to apply makeup, as the skin will be smooth, dewy and radiant following treatment. If you would like to apply makeup, allow approximately 15 minutes for the pH of the skin to stabilize before applying foundation.

  • Avoid going to a tanning bed two weeks prior to treatment. This practice should be discontinued due to the increased risk of skin cancer and signs of aging. Waxing/threading or use depilatory creams for 7 days prior. Cosmetic injections for 2 weeks before and after treatments.

After Your Skin Classic Treatment

  • Irritated skin as well as redness and some crusting may form on areas treated. Make sure you DO NOT pick at the crusting because prematurely removing the crust may cause hyperpigmentation or scarring If the area is still irritated by the end of the day a clean baggie of frozen peas works well 10 minutes on and 10 minutes off. Moisturize after with something gentle.

  • Keep your skin clean and moisturized during the day. Makeup may be worn over-moisturizing sunscreen.

  • MUST use moisturizing sunblock every day whether it is rainy or snowy. Sunblock is your defense against anti-aging.

  • AVOID direct sunlight immediately following treatment. When cleansing the face or showing the use of mild products without alcohol Pat dry instead of rubbing to prevent removal of the crust

  • DO NOT use any other form of peeling or bleaching products for 30 days After crust sloughs, the skin may be pink. Be sure to wear SPF 30 or higher

  • Contraindications for Skin Classic include: Current or recent use of Accutane, eczema, dermatitis, malignant skin tumors, open lesions, lupus, active herpes infection, sunburn, and keratoses.
