Ultra-Pulse Contact CAP
How is Ultra-Pulse Contact CAP different?
Ultra-Pulse Contact CAP is a medical-grade device uniquely calibrated for Topical Steroid Withdrawal (TSW) skin. Unlike conventional CAP devices that deliver plasma from a distance, its innovative contact handpiece gently touches the skin, delivering plasma directly to the affected area with greater precision, consistency, and comfort.
Specially developed for sensitive, damaged, and wounded skin, it delivers precisely calibrated plasma energy to support the skin's natural regenerative processes, helping even severely compromised TSW skin recover more effectively.
The Science…
1. Triggering growth factors in the skin cell to increase regeneration rate
When the skin has been exposed to long term use of certain suppressive topical medications, the skin cells can be immunomodulated causing a slow cell regeneration rate, poor recovery and extremely weak and sensitive skin. Contact CAP directly reverses the effects of these medications by triggering the growth factors of the skin cells back to a normal rate. This is similar to working a muscle that has not moved for a long period of time.
Weekly sessions are required at the start of therapy to rebuild the skin’s strength; the duration and frequency of treatment can be reduced once the skin cell’s regeneration rate is stable.
2. Eradicates ‘bad’ bacteria and fungus
TSW comes with many complications, two of which are bacteria and fungal infection. Ultra Pulse Contact CAP kills ‘bad’ bacteria and fungal growth on the skin. When pathogens on the skin and in the air come into contact with CAP, they react with its unstable atoms (radicals such as ozone). These alter the lipids, proteins and nucleic acids of the bacteria, killing them or rendering them harmless. Keeping the skin infection free allows the skin the space to heal its wounds.
3. Micro-exfoliation for hardened skin
Elephant/hardened skin is another common complication of TSW. The electrons and ions produced by the CAP bounce off the skin’s surface, acting as a very fine exfoliator on the skin, gentle enough to significantly reduce hardened/elephant skin.

Regular skin check-ins - healing is not linear and we understand that; we hold your hand throughout your journey and ride out any bumps along the way with you
Skin analysis - we work with you to figure out causes of flares and other complications e.g. hardened skin
Care progress reports - you receive reports on your progress at key milestones/checkpoints in your journey, along with care tips and directions for healing
Education - Clients get free access to educational tools and fortnightly lectures to equip themselves with the knowledge on how to manage their skin and enjoy a better quality of life.
Additional support - we advocate for you if you need help explaining your condition, and refer you to other professionals if you require additional help
TSW healing is not just about the CAP machine. It’s 50% technology and 50% the care and healing behind it. You deserve to be cared for by a team that truly understands TSW and its complications.
At Skin Solace Clinic, we provide both.

Procedure & Aftercare
What is the procedure like?
It is a priority of ours to ensure that you feel safe and comfortable during your therapy. The therapy itself is very relaxing and sometimes people fall asleep!
Upon arrival, we will take pictures of your skin to track your progress. After which, your therapy begins - all you have to do is lie down and relax and our therapists will perform the therapy on you.
For those requiring therapy on large areas of the body, please come in comfortable clothing that can be removed easily.
How long do I need per session?
*How long each therapy session depends on the surface area requiring therapy. Here are some rough estimates of therapy time needed per area. Do note that these timings are for estimation purposes only; actual therapy time depends on your skin condition.
How often do I need CAP Therapy?
You will begin therapy at a frequency of once a week. When your skin has become sufficiently stronger, you may extend sessions to once every 10 days, then 14 days, once a month and so forth, until you are independent of therapy. How quickly your skin becomes stronger and independent enough depends on your skin baseline and other lifestyle factors.
How can I support my TSW recovery?
Every person with TSW comes with different skin history, environment and lifestyle. Our Care Team assesses each client individually according to their skin requirements and recommends a personalised protocol to support your healing.
