✦ Suitability
Timing matters, and a few situations rule CAP out. Here’s a simple self-check before you plan anything. We confirm it with you properly when we review your patient profile.
✦ The self-check
01
You’ve stopped topical steroids
At least two months before your first session. Four to six months is better.
02
You’re off immunosuppressants and biologics
For at least one month before you start treatment.
03
No pregnancy, no implants
The device creates a magnetic field, so we can’t treat anyone who is pregnant or has a pacemaker or other electrical implant.
Talk to your own doctor before changing any medication.
These timings are what we need before starting CAP. They aren’t advice to stop anything. Your doctor knows your history, so please make any change with them.
✦ Special situations
Everyone’s TSW is different. These are the situations we’re asked about most.
Children
We can treat children, depending on how they manage the sessions. It can be harder for them: not scratching, the sensitive 48 hours afterwards, and the sound of the machine can all be difficult. We talk it through with you first.
Early-stage TSW
Many patients come to us in the early stages. We guide you through managing irritants and adjusting daily life first, and introduce CAP when it’s appropriate for you.
Eczema and TSW
CAP supports the healing of skin damaged by topical steroids. It doesn’t treat the underlying eczema, and any effect on eczema itself is temporary.
Started CAP in Thailand?
Our device comes from the Bangkok pioneers of CAP for TSW, and they trained our therapists. If you’ve begun treatment in Thailand and would like to continue in Bali, we can talk about how that works.
