What Does Skin Classic Treat?Skin Classic Treatment at Smoothe & Co.

What Is Skin Classic Thermolysis?

Skin Classic, also known as thermolysis, is a nonlaser treatment that uses a specialized probe to deliver high frequency energy to select minor skin irregularities.

Rather than treating an entire area of skin, Skin Classic focuses on individual spots. The goal is to dehydrate the targeted tissue so it can naturally slough away over the following days as the skin heals.

The healing process varies depending on the type and size of the irregularity and the individual. Smaller treatment areas may heal more quickly, but results and recovery times are not guaranteed.

What Skin Irregularities Can Skin Classic Treat?

Skin Classic may be appropriate for certain superficial skin irregularities, depending on their appearance, location, and cause.

Concerns that may be considered for treatment include:

  • Milia
  • Sebaceous hyperplasia
  • Certain fibromas
  • Some skin tags
  • Certain cherry angiomas
  • Selected superficial blood vessels, including some visible broken capillaries
  • Certain other superficial skin irregularities following appropriate assessment

Not every spot or growth is suitable for treatment. Some conditions require medical evaluation, and treatment eligibility depends on the specific irregularity.

Milia

Milia are small, white or flesh colored bumps caused by keratin becoming trapped beneath the skin’s surface. They are commonly found around the eyes and cheeks and are often mistaken for whiteheads.

Sebaceous Hyperplasia

Sebaceous hyperplasia occurs when oil glands become enlarged, creating small, often yellowish or skin colored bumps. These are commonly seen on the forehead, cheeks, and nose.

Skin Tags

Skin tags are small, soft growths that often develop in areas where skin rubs together, such as the neck, underarms, and other skin folds.

Cherry Angiomas

Cherry angiomas are small red or purple spots associated with clusters of blood vessels. They commonly appear on the torso and limbs and become more prevalent with age.

Fibromas

Fibromas are benign growths made up of fibrous tissue. Their appearance and location can vary.

Because different types of growths can look similar, an appropriate assessment is necessary before deciding whether Skin Classic is suitable.

Broken Capillaries and Telangiectasia

Telangiectasia refers to small, visible blood vessels near the surface of the skin. They may appear as fine red or pink lines and are frequently noticed around the nose and cheeks.

Not all visible blood vessels are appropriate for Skin Classic. The cause, location, and characteristics of the vessels should be assessed before treatment.

Other Skin Irregularities

Certain other superficial skin concerns may require a different approach. Keratoses, pigmented spots, acne lesions, and dark marks can have different causes and may need medical evaluation or an alternative treatment.

Skin Classic should not be used to treat an unidentified skin growth or to replace appropriate care for active cystic acne, suspicious pigmentation, or other medical skin conditions.

Does Skin Classic Hurt?

Skin Classic is not completely painless. Most clients experience a brief stinging, snapping, or warming sensation while the probe is applied to the targeted area.

The sensation is generally brief, but sensitivity varies by person and treatment location. Areas such as the nose, neck, and around the eyes may be more sensitive.

After treatment, small crusts or scabs may develop as the skin heals. It is important not to pick, scratch, or prematurely remove them. Follow your provider’s aftercare instructions to support healing and reduce the risk of irritation or unwanted marks.

What to Expect After Skin Classic Treatment

Following Skin Classic treatment, the targeted areas may look temporarily red or develop small crusts. The treated tissue is expected to slough away naturally as healing progresses, but the timeline varies.

Your aftercare plan will depend on the treatment area and your skin’s response.

To support healing:

  • Follow all aftercare instructions provided by your esthetician.
  • Avoid picking, scratching, or removing crusts prematurely.
  • Protect healing skin from excessive sun exposure.
  • Avoid irritating products on treated areas until your provider advises they are appropriate.
  • Contact a qualified medical professional if you develop signs of infection or an unexpected reaction.

Proper aftercare is an important part of your treatment experience. We will explain what to expect and how to care for your skin following your appointment.
