THE PROCEDURE
The Clinical Skin Clear Probe works on the principle of radio vapourisation. This non invasive technology utilises a combination of high frequency and radio frequency, which are attracted to liquids on the surface of the skin or within the skin irregularity. This enables treatment without penetrating the skin’s surface.
There is minimal discomfort for majority of clients and a fast recovery of two to four days for skin tags, through to a couple of weeks for larger skin abnormalities such as telangiectasia, fibromas, cholesterol deposits or pustules.
BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
Prior to arrival, please cleanse your skin thoroughly to remove all makeup and excess oil. Avoid applying any lotions or oils to the treatment area.
If you wish to use local topical anaesthetic (LTA), please arrive 30 minutes before your appointment time to apply the LTA under our supervision to ensure it is applied correctly. By law, we cannot supply or apply LTA on clients. LTA is available to purchase at any pharmacy. Some brands we recommend are Numb It and Emla.
POST TREATMENT CARE
We recommend exercising caution for the first few days to avoid bumping or knocking the wound. Dependant on the size and severity of your procedure, you may need to avoid strenuous exercise for a few days post treatment.
Avoid getting the treated area wet.
If you have had a lesion removed from your face, do not use makeup until it is properly healed to avoid infection.To assist with healing and prevent infection we recommend using Stratamed wound dressing gel immediately after the procedure and twice daily until it is completely healed.
To enhance results, we recommend avoiding exfoliation or abrasive skin care products for seven days post treatment, including retinol, lactic acid and glycolic acid.
Ensure daily sun protection to avoid hyper pigmentation and avoid sun beds and self-tanning wherever possible.
Our dermal clinicians will recommend a bespoke post care home regime following the procedure.
