For many individuals, loose and sagging skin is an undesirable cosmetic concern that negatively impacts their appearance. Skin elasticity is caused by the breakdown of collagen and elastin, two proteins within the skin responsible for giving it its firmness and elasticity. Aging, overexposure to the sun (photodamage) and genetics all play a role in contributing toward skin laxity.

​

Plasma skin tightening, or plasma skin resurfacing, is a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure that uses plasma to tighten skin and combat the skin laxity caused by aging and photodamage.

 

What is Plasma Skin Tightening?

Plasma Skin Tightening is renowned for its remarkable Non-Surgical, Non-Invasive treatments such as Tummy Tightening,  Hooded eyelids, Eye lifts, Pigmentation Removal, Full Face and Neck Lifts, Stretch Marks and Acne Scar Reduction boasts being one of the only cosmetic procedures in the industry that uses plasma to instantly shrink, tighten and eliminate loose, creepy excess skin while improving the overall tone and texture of the skin. These treatments are  low risk and hold a minimal recovery time of 7 days allowing the client to return to usual activities in no time. The best part is, treatments can be performed in as little as 30 minutes and are drastically cheaper than any surgical procedure with similar result.

​

Plasma pens, which are the tools that are used to perform these treatments surrounded the public market in Europe in 2014, so it is not exactly a new treatment, and has been making its way to North America, gaining popularity quickly and for good reason.

​

The Plasma FDA certified device creates a tiny plasma flash which leaps from tip of the device to the skin in a micro sized point. This superficial point targets the skin in its immediate vicinity – which tightens and reduces the excess skin where the series of tiny brown spots are strategically placed, pulling the cells closer together.    This phase is known as the "sublimation phase" but is only a PART of the treatment.  The treatment actually takes place over an 8 week period and after you get through the healing phase, when your dots fall off (3-5 days after initial treatment). Fibroblasts, which lie in the dermal layer of your skin, which are responsible for collagen and elastin production, are stimulated and start producing collagen and elastin immediately and continue to build up even more during the healing process.

 

 

• Biopsies taken 3 months after a procedure demonstrate the continued formation of new collagen. Improvements to the tissue continue for over 1 year and result in firmer and more contoured skin.  

• Collagen regeneration and elastin fibers that we lose as we age, will start producing immediately and continue to build up even more during the healing process. 

• While Plasma Lift can’t stop the natural processes of aging completely, its effect is pronounced, and aging is slowed significantly.
