Skin rejuvenation is the most popular field of modern aesthetic cosmetology. In addition, nowadays, more and more often, progressive non-invasive (without violating the integrity of the skin) and even non-contact exposure methods are preferred. And one of the innovative and effective methods is plasma rejuvenation (non-surgical plastic).
Most, if not all, types of skin rejuvenation are based on the principle of controlled skin damage, triggering the regeneration process, which ultimately leads to a reduction in visible signs of aging. The plasma method works the same way, but with a few tricks.
First, the active substance, plasma, is a high-energy ionized gas. Second, the nitrogen used is chemically inert and suppresses tissue burning, displacing the oxygen required for the oxidation process. As a result, the layers of the skin are destroyed by the plasma (due to heating, decomposition and evaporation), but they do not burn as under the action of laser removers, so no open wounds are created. This approach reduces the risk of side effects such as scarring, infection and discoloration.
What to expect from plasma rejuvenation
Reduction of existing age-related changes, prevention of their development and their early appearance. The process has a strong lifting effect (due to the "evaporation" of the skin flap), smoothes the relief of the skin by reducing the depth of dynamic and static wrinkles, smoothing the course of natural folds, improves and smoothes skin tone. In addition, the effect not only appears immediately after the start of the treatment course, but also gradually increases over several months. The greatest result can be expected after about 3 months.
Indications for use
- Non-surgical eyelid surgery.
- Stretch marks treatment and scar removal.

- Removal of fibroids, nevi, papillomas, age spots, xanthelasma, dyskeratosis.
Contraindications
- Diagnosed oncological diseases of any localization.
- Presence of precancerous skin diseases in the affected area or suspicion of such. Other benign tumors are not a contraindication to plasma rejuvenation.
- ENT diseases in the acute stage (sinusitis and other forms of sinusitis, rhinitis, rhinosinusitis).
- Pregnancy period. At the same time, the process has a fairly high safety profile, as it does not lead to systematic (general) changes and intense metabolic changes. And in medical publications there are reports of successful use of plasma rejuvenation in women who are pregnant with a child. But we must not forget that physiological hormonal changes during pregnancy affect the condition of the skin and can change the effectiveness of the procedure.
- Breastfeeding period.
- Blood diseases, but at the same time, the presence of mild iron deficiency anemia with good health is usually not a reason to refuse the anti-aging process.
- The acute period of infectious diseases, the presence of elevated body temperature.
- Diseases of the thyroid gland, accompanied by local or diffuse hypertrophy of its tissues and / or hormonal changes.
- Renal and hepatic impairment.
- Cardiovascular diseases in the stage of compensation.
How the process is done
Rejuvenating the face with plasma does not require special training, prior adherence to any diet or changes in normal lifestyle. But a few days before the session, it is advisable not to use aggressive scrubs and peels, to visit a solarium and people with a tendency for allergic reactions not to try new products and cosmetics.
When using the device, even patients with low pain threshold do not need local anesthesia. The healing / rejuvenation session lasts 15-30 minutes, its duration depends on the severity of the problem and the area of the area being treated.
The patient sits in a cosmetology chair or sofa and the specialist performing the procedure, without contact, directs a pulsating current or a stream of plasma from the tip of the device to her skin. At the same time, it is possible to choose the mode of operation that is most suitable for a given patient. The session usually begins with pre-treatment of the skin to prepare for subsequent stronger results and to reduce the intensity of the sensations experienced. Once the procedure is complete, the treated area does not need to be applied. For the next 3 days, it is good to refrain from scrubbing, peeling, beach visits and solarium.
The recommended number of procedures is 1-2 procedures per year.
