Have you ever heard of cold laser therapy (or the CAP laser) and how it can help with skin issues? Contrary to what most people think, it’s actually not a laser! It is called Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP), and it is a type of ionized gas. My guest today delves into how it can help!

Today's guest is Jing Rui Yeo, long-term TSW (topical steroid withdrawal) warrior and co-owner of Skin Solace Aesthetic Clinic. Through her advocacy for TSW, she helped to bring CAP treatments to the UK. Her passion is in alleviating the physical and mental struggles of those going through chronic skin conditions, particularly Topical Steroid Withdrawal.

Have you ever suffered from TSW? Let me know in the comments if you've tried the CAP Laser and if it worked for you!

In this episode:

What is cold laser therapy + how can it help those with Topical Steroid Withdrawal?
What does a CAP Treatment look and feel like?
Length of treatments (and what else to expect)
Who is NOT a great candidate for a CAP Treatment?
The reason TSW warriors flake after receiving a CAP Treatment
