Benefits of CAP for Topical Steroid Withdrawal
PAIN FREE, NON-INVASIVE, AND MADE TO SUPPORT YOUR SKIN’S NATURAL RHYTHM.
What is Cold Atmospheric Plasma?
Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) technology is a form of electromagnetic wave therapy harnessing ionised gas, and is commonly used in the treatment of chronic wounds. While CAP technology exists in many forms, the machines we use have been manufactured specifically to treat Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) / Red Skin Syndrome, administering CAP to your skin via a non-invasive wand. The treatment accelerates your skins natural healing safely and efficiently.
Cold = less than 45 degrees celsius
Atmospheric = generated from surrounding air
Plasma = ionised gas, fourth state of matter
Cold Atmospheric Plasma can:
-
CAP triggers growth factors in the skin to increase cell proliferation. In doing so, it directly reverses the effect of medication such as topical steroids that have suppressed skin cell function.
-
CAP assists rapid wound closure by activating a range of essential healing mechanisms in the body to help increase oxygenation, and promoting tissue repair around wounds.
-
Electrons from CAP pulses create nanopores on the skins surface, exfoliating it at a micro-level. This has been proven to significantly reverse hardened skin and excess skin.
-
CAP oxidises and perforates the cell membranes of pathogens. It thereby kills fungus hyphae and bacteria giving your skin the best chance at healing from Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) / Red Skin Syndrome and many other skin conditions.
-
CAP can also reduce fine lines and wrinkles, reduce inflammation, fade scars and stretch marks and repair damaged hair follicles.
Our CAP Machines
Wave Skin Wellness carries medical grade BioPlasma CAP Machines, designed in Thailand by Dr. Chanchai Chutsirimongkol M.D. specifically to treat TSW / RSS. Dr Chanchai and Peerawat Jay have been working with TSW patients for almost 20 years, dedicating themselves to developing targeted treatments. Their work forms the foundation of the care we provide today.
-
Cold Atmospheric Plasma can be harnessed for a variety of purposes, so not all CAP machines are the same. The very first BioPlasma CAP machines were successfully produced for healing chronic diabetic wounds. After discovering patients with topical steroid damage and thinned skin, the team got to work on designing new CAP machines to target skin healing. Now our 9th generation of BioPlasma CAP machines are specifically calibrated to regenerate severely damaged skin and can help regain skin thickness.
-
Although packed with enough power to reverse skin thinning and accelerate skin regeneration, the BioPlasma CAP machine is relatively pain-free! Our patients may occasionally feel a warm sensation or a brief zap.
-
Our machines administer CAP to your skin via a smooth wand that glides over your skin’s surface, making the treatment entirely non-invasive.
-
This treatment does not require any additional numbing ointments or cooling gels. This means we don’t have to use any other external moisturisers, ointments or gels that could irritate your skin.
-
Other than increased sensitivity for 48 hours post treatment, the BioPlasma CAP machine has no long term side-effects, allowing you to heal worry free.
