Skin Diathermy

For Skin Irregularities

Gentle, Precise, and Effective Treatment for Common Skin Concerns

At Prana, we introduce Skin Classic – Diathermy, a safe and effective treatment designed to clear common, superficial skin irregularities with precision and minimal downtime. This advanced, non-laser technology works directly on the skin’s surface to restore clarity and confidence without invasive procedures.

Understanding Diathermy

Diathermy, derived from the Greek word meaning “through heating,” uses a targeted high-frequency electrical current to gently dehydrate and eliminate minor skin irregularities.

The Skin Classic device delivers this current through a finely tipped probe, working on the outermost layer of the skin (epidermis) without affecting surrounding tissue. As the irregularity is treated, a fine crust forms and naturally sloughs off during the healing process, revealing fresh, healthy skin beneath.

This treatment is non-invasive, highly precise, and well-suited for clients seeking visible results without lasers, cutting, or extended downtime.

What Can Skin Classic Treat?

Skin Classic Diathermy is ideal for removing or reducing the appearance of common superficial skin irregularities, including:

  • Cherry Angiomas (tiny red blood vessel clusters)
  • Skin Tags (soft, raised fibrous growths)
  • Sebaceous Hyperplasia (enlarged oil glands)
  • Milia (small white cysts under the skin)
  • Seborrheic Keratosis (benign, wart-like growths)
  • Fibromas (benign fibrous tissue bumps)
  • Clogged Pores & Blackheads
  • Hyperpigmentation or Age Spots (sun spots, brown spots)
  • Broken Capillaries (telangiectasia)
  • Cholesterol Deposits (around the eyes)
  • Acne Lesions and Cysts (non-inflammatory surface cysts)

What to Expect During Treatment

  • Quick Sessions: Treatments are typically 5–30 minutes depending on the number of irregularities.
  • Minimal Discomfort: Most clients describe the sensation as a brief “pinprick warmth.”
  • Healing Process: The treated area forms a small crust within 24–48 hours, which naturally falls away within 5–10 days. Larger irregularities may take longer to heal.
  • Little to No Downtime: Makeup can usually be worn from day two, provided aftercare instructions are followed.

Aftercare and Healing

To ensure the best results, we provide comprehensive aftercare guidance:

  • Avoid picking, rubbing, or exfoliating the treated area.
  • Protect healing skin with SPF 30+ daily (essential even indoors).
  • Allow any crusting to fall away naturally to avoid scarring or pigmentation.
  • Avoid hot saunas, intense exercise, or harsh skincare for at least 7–10 days.

FAQ

Skin Classic is a gentle, non-laser treatment that uses high-frequency diathermy to target and dehydrate minor skin irregularities on the skin’s surface. The irregularity naturally forms a fine crust that falls away within days, revealing smoother, clearer skin beneath.

Skin Classic is ideal for superficial concerns such as skin tags, cherry angiomas, sebaceous hyperplasia, milia, fibromas, seborrheic keratosis, sun spots, and broken capillaries. Each of these irregularities is treated precisely and individually, allowing for targeted and highly effective results.

Unlike lasers, which penetrate deeper layers of the skin, Skin Classic works only on the epidermis (the outer layer). This means no risk of damage to surrounding tissue, no heat spread, and no pigmentation risk in darker skin types. It’s also a safer alternative for those not suitable for laser treatments.

Yes, Skin Classic can be performed on areas including the face, neck, chest, back, arms, hands, and some body areas. However, it is generally not recommended for lower extremities below the waist or areas with poor circulation, as healing may be slower in these regions.

Healing varies depending on the size and type of irregularity treated. Most areas form a fine crust within 24–48 hours that naturally sheds in 5–10 days. Larger or more fibrous irregularities may take longer. It’s essential not to pick at the crust to prevent pigmentation or scarring.

Yes. Skin Classic can complement other skin therapies such as facials, microdermabrasion, or light rejuvenation treatments. However, these are best scheduled either before or after the healing period to avoid irritation.

We always recommend that any new, changing, or questionable spots be examined by your GP or dermatologist before treatment. At Prana, we only treat irregularities that are visually benign and will refer you back to your healthcare provider if anything appears suspicious.

This treatment is not suitable for those who are pregnant, using Accutane (or within 6 months of stopping), have active infections in the treatment area, pacemakers, or certain medical conditions affecting healing. During your consultation, we will assess your suitability thoroughly.
