LamProbe Treatment in Scottsdale, Arizona

LamProbe treatment is a quick, non-surgical aesthetic treatment designed to address a variety of minor skin irregularities. At Scottsdale Skin & Holistic Health, LamProbe may be used to improve the appearance of certain visible skin concerns on the face and body with precise, targeted treatment.

Because LamProbe focuses on individual skin irregularities, surrounding skin can often be left largely unaffected. Treatments are typically brief, making LamProbe a convenient option for patients looking to address small, bothersome cosmetic skin concerns without surgery.

What Is LamProbe?

LamProbe is a specialized cosmetic treatment device that uses radiofrequency technology to precisely target certain minor skin irregularities. A small probe is applied to the treatment area, allowing the provider to focus energy directly on the cosmetic concern.

Unlike treatments designed to resurface a large area of skin, LamProbe is intended for precise spot treatment. This makes it particularly useful when a patient has individual areas they would like evaluated and treated.

What Can LamProbe Treat?

Depending on the type of skin irregularity and whether your provider determines it is appropriate for cosmetic treatment, LamProbe may be used for concerns such as:

  • Skin tags
  • Cherry angiomas
  • Small visible facial vessels
  • Spider veins and broken capillaries
  • Sebaceous hyperplasia
  • Milia
  • Certain benign-looking skin irregularities
  • Other small cosmetic skin concerns

Not every bump, spot, growth, or skin lesion should be treated cosmetically. Your provider will evaluate the area first and may recommend medical evaluation by a dermatologist or other qualified healthcare professional when appropriate.

How Does LamProbe Treatment Work?

LamProbe uses controlled radiofrequency energy delivered through a fine probe to target a specific skin irregularity. The treatment is highly localized, allowing the provider to work precisely on the selected area rather than treating a large section of surrounding skin.

The exact technique and treatment time depend on the type, size, number, and location of the skin concerns being addressed.

Benefits of LamProbe Treatment

  • Non-surgical treatment
  • Designed for precise spot treatment
  • Can address multiple types of minor cosmetic skin irregularities
  • Typically quick treatment sessions
  • Can be used on appropriate facial and body areas
  • Minimal disruption to surrounding skin
  • Treatment can be customized to individual concerns

LamProbe for Skin Tags

Skin tags are small, soft growths that commonly develop in areas where skin rubs against skin or clothing. They may appear around the neck, underarms, eyelid area, and other areas of the body.

When a skin tag has been appropriately evaluated and is suitable for cosmetic treatment, LamProbe may provide a quick way to address the unwanted area.

LamProbe for Cherry Angiomas

Cherry angiomas are small red or reddish-purple spots caused by collections of tiny blood vessels. They are common in adults and may become more noticeable over time.

LamProbe may be used to precisely target appropriate cherry angiomas for patients who would like to reduce their visible appearance for cosmetic reasons.

LamProbe for Broken Capillaries and Small Facial Vessels

Small visible blood vessels and broken capillaries can sometimes appear around the nose, cheeks, chin, and other facial areas. Depending on the type and size of the vessel, LamProbe may be an option for targeted cosmetic treatment.

Scottsdale Skin & Holistic Health also offers other treatments for vascular concerns, so your provider can recommend an approach based on the type and extent of the visible vessels.

LamProbe for Sebaceous Hyperplasia

Sebaceous hyperplasia can appear as small, flesh-colored or yellowish bumps caused by enlarged sebaceous glands. These bumps are commonly seen on the face and may become more noticeable with age.

After appropriate evaluation, certain areas of sebaceous hyperplasia may be suitable for cosmetic LamProbe treatment.

LamProbe for Milia

Milia are small, firm bumps that form when keratin becomes trapped beneath the surface of the skin. They commonly occur around the cheeks and eye area.

Depending on their location and characteristics, your provider can determine whether LamProbe or another professional treatment is the better option for addressing them.

What Areas Can Be Treated With LamProbe?

LamProbe may be used on appropriate areas of the face and body. Common areas may include the cheeks, nose, chin, forehead, neck, upper chest, and other areas where suitable cosmetic skin irregularities are present.

Because treatment near sensitive areas requires additional consideration, your provider will determine whether LamProbe is appropriate for the specific location.

What Does a LamProbe Treatment Feel Like?

Patient experiences vary depending on the type and location of the area being treated. Because LamProbe works on small, targeted areas, treatment is generally brief. Patients may experience a temporary sensation of heat, tingling, or mild discomfort during treatment.

Is There Downtime After LamProbe?

Downtime is generally minimal, although the treated area may temporarily appear red, irritated, darker, or develop a small crust as it heals. It is important not to pick or scratch the treated area.

Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions based on the concern treated and its location. Sun protection is also important while the area heals.

How Many LamProbe Treatments Will I Need?

The number of treatments depends on the type, size, location, and number of skin irregularities being addressed. Some small concerns may respond to a single treatment, while others may require additional sessions.

During your consultation, we can examine the areas you would like treated and recommend an individualized treatment plan.

Who Is a Good Candidate for LamProbe?

LamProbe may be appropriate for adults who have minor cosmetic skin irregularities they would like to address without surgery. The first step is determining exactly what the skin concern is and whether cosmetic treatment is appropriate.

Any new, changing, bleeding, irregular, suspicious, or undiagnosed skin lesion should be medically evaluated rather than treated solely for cosmetic purposes.

LamProbe vs Laser Treatment

LamProbe and laser treatments can both be used for certain cosmetic skin concerns, but they work differently and are suited to different situations. LamProbe provides highly localized radiofrequency treatment for individual skin irregularities, while laser and light-based treatments may be better suited to larger treatment areas or particular pigment and vascular concerns.

Scottsdale Skin & Holistic Health offers multiple aesthetic technologies, allowing us to recommend a treatment based on the specific concern rather than using the same approach for every patient.
