Non-Laser Treatments for
Skin Irregularities

CryoCorrect CO₂ & High-Frequency Treatments

CryoCorrect CO₂ Treatments

Safe and effective, this device features CO2 technology for precise cosmetic spot and skin tag removal.  This technology works by precisely targeting the lesion (dark spot or skin tag) and freezing tissue while leaving the surrounding skin unaffected. Treatment is quick  (only 3 to 5 seconds per spot) and painless. 

The CryoCorrect device specifically addresses dark spots and skin tags.

High-Frequency Treatments

A non-laser treatment option for minor skin irregularities via direct high-frequency technology.  Treatment is quick and typically, only 1-2 treatments are necessary.  High-frequency treatments can address quite a few types of minor skin irregularities including: 

Hyperpigmentation

Flat hyperpigmentation is common, and typically harmless, but can be undesirable to some individuals.  Patches of skin can become darker in color than the normal surrounding skin. This darkening occurs when an excess of melanin, the pigment that produces normal skin color, forms deposits in the skin resulting in darker patches or spots.

Telangiectasia (Broken Capillaries / Superficial Facial Veins)

Broken capillaries are tiny blood vessels, often spidery in appearance, that can become visible near the surface of the skin. These small, red veins most commonly appear on the cheeks and/or around the nose.  Fair skin, dry skin, and sensitive skin types can be most susceptible to broken capillaries as their cell walls are more delicate and fragile.

Cherry Angiomas

Red moles, or cherry angiomas, are common skin irregularities that can develop on most areas of the body, most commonly on the torso, arms, legs, and shoulders.  Also known as senile angiomas or Campbell de Morgan spots, cherry angiomas are often bright red, circular or oval in shape, and small — usually ranging in size from a pinpoint to about one-fourth of an inch in diameter. Some cherry angiomas appear smooth and even with your skin, while others appear slightly raised. The collection of small blood vessels inside a cherry angioma give them a reddish appearance.  This type of skin irregularity is typically not a cause for concern unless it bleeds often or changes in size, shape, or color. 

Keratosis

A seborrheic keratosis usually appears as a brown, black or light tan round or oval-shaped growth on the face, chest, shoulders or back.  The irregularity appears wart-like and has a waxy, scaly, slightly elevated appearance.  A person may develop a single growth or cluster of them.  Seborrheic keratoses are normally painless and require no treatment.  However, one may decide to have them removed if they become irritated by clothing or for cosmetic reasons.

Milia

Milia are small, keratin-filled cysts that can be seen in all age groups.  These bump-like cysts form when skin flakes or keratin, a protein, become trapped under the skin.  They are usually 1 to 2 millimeters (mm) in size.  Although Milia can occur anywhere, they most commonly appear on the face, often around the eyelids and cheeks.

Skin Tags

Skin tags are small, soft, skin-colored growths that hang off the skin.  These irregularities are harmless and can vary in color and size.  Skin tags are very common and are usually found on the neck, armpits, around the groin, or under the breasts.

Cystic Acne & Blackheads

Pores are tiny openings in the skin that release oil and sweat.  Clogged pores are the result of dead skin cells getting trapped in the skin instead of being shed.  When pores are clogged, it can result in blackheads, whiteheads, and acne.

Sebaceous Hyperplasia

Sebaceous hyperplasia is a common, benign condition of sebaceous glands in adults of middle age or older.  Small bumps appear on the skin when sebaceous glands become enlarged.  These harmless irregularities can be single or multiple and appear as yellowish, soft, small papules on the face (particularly nose, cheeks, and forehead).  There are sebaceous glands all over the body, and the bumps can form almost anywhere.
