Lamprobe is a cosmetic skin treatment device that uses concentrated radiofrequency (RF) energy delivered through a fine probe tip to vaporize minor benign skin irregularities at the surface level. The RF energy rapidly heats the targeted tissue—destroying it in seconds—while leaving the surrounding skin untouched. At Aqua Medical Spa in Mississauga, we use a professional-grade Lamprobe system to treat skin tags, cherry angiomas, milia, age spots, seborrheic keratosis, broken capillaries, and other common cosmetic concerns.

Lamprobe pricing at our Mississauga clinic depends on the number and type of irregularities being treated in the session. A single skin tag removal, for example, costs less than a session addressing multiple cherry angiomas, age spots, and milia across several areas. During your free consultation, we provide a fully transparent quote with no hidden fees so you know exactly what to expect.

The sensation is brief and very mild. Most patients describe a quick, warm prickling that lasts only 1-3 seconds per spot—comparable to the snap of a tiny spark. No anesthesia is needed, and the vast majority of patients tolerate the treatment easily without any numbing agents. For patients treating a larger number of spots, the cumulative discomfort is still minimal because each individual application is so fast.

Most Lamprobe sessions at our Mississauga clinic take between 10 and 30 minutes, depending on how many irregularities are being treated. A single skin tag can be addressed in under a minute. Sessions targeting 10-15 spots across multiple areas typically take 20-30 minutes including the pre-treatment assessment.

Many irregularities are visibly eliminated during the treatment session itself. However, the final cosmetic result develops over 1-3 weeks as minor micro-crusts shed naturally and the underlying skin completes its healing. Most patients see their cleanest results by the end of week three.

The majority of skin irregularities can be fully removed in a single session. Some deeper or larger concerns—such as thicker seborrheic keratoses or stubborn cholesterol deposits—may benefit from a second treatment once the initial area has fully healed. Dr. Armogan will advise you on whether a follow-up session is likely during your consultation.

When aftercare instructions are followed properly, Lamprobe treatments rarely produce visible scarring. The device targets only the superficial layers of skin, preserving the deeper dermal structures responsible for scar-free healing. Avoiding picking, scratching, or sun exposure on treated areas during the healing period is the most important step you can take to ensure a clean cosmetic outcome.

Essentially none. You can return to work, social events, and your normal routine immediately. Treated spots may appear slightly pink or develop a tiny crust, but these are easily concealed with mineral makeup if desired. Most post-treatment evidence resolves completely within 5-7 days.

Yes. Lamprobe integrates seamlessly with other treatments at our Mississauga clinic. Patients often combine Lamprobe with medical facials, chemical peels, IPL, or microdermabrasion for a comprehensive skin clarity session. Dr. Armogan will recommend safe sequencing based on the treatments involved.

Yes. Lamprobe is a well-established cosmetic treatment with an excellent safety profile when performed by trained professionals using proper assessment protocols. At Aqua Medical Spa, we visually assess every irregularity before treatment and only apply Lamprobe to confirmed benign, surface-level concerns. Suspicious or atypical lesions are never treated with Lamprobe—they are referred for appropriate medical evaluation.

Lamprobe and injectables serve entirely different purposes. Lamprobe removes visible surface irregularities—skin tags, cherry angiomas, milia, age spots, broken capillaries, and benign growths—using radiofrequency energy. Botox and dermal fillers are injectable treatments that address wrinkles and volume loss by relaxing muscles or adding hyaluronic acid beneath the skin. Lamprobe corrects what you see on the surface; injectables reshape and smooth what lies beneath.

Absolutely. Skin tags, cherry angiomas, age spots, and other benign irregularities are equally common in men. Male patients at our Mississauga clinic frequently request Lamprobe for visible spots on the face, neck, chest, and hands. The treatment is identical regardless of gender—fast, comfortable, and effective.

Arrive at our Mississauga clinic with clean skin free of makeup, lotions, or sunscreen on the areas to be treated. No other special preparation is required. If you are using prescription topical medications on the treatment area, mention this during your consultation so we can advise whether to pause temporarily.

Yes—treated irregularities are permanently eliminated. The specific skin tag, cherry angioma, milia, or age spot that is removed will not return. However, new irregularities can develop over time due to aging, sun exposure, hormonal changes, and genetic predisposition. Periodic maintenance visits allow us to address any new concerns as they appear.

Lamprobe is safe for a wide range of skin types. Because the energy is delivered through a fine probe tip directly to the targeted irregularity rather than through the surrounding skin, the risk of pigmentation changes is lower than with broad-spectrum light treatments. During your consultation at our Mississauga clinic, we assess your skin type and the specific concerns you want addressed to confirm Lamprobe is the right approach.
