Plasma Non-Surgical Face Lift

Plasma skin tightening works on the principle of ionised gas in the air. At the right distance from the skin oxygen and nitrogen are mixed and electrostatic energy produces a plasmatic effusion or arc which discharges into the skin. Without touching the skin this plasma arc vaporises in the skin forcing it to contract and stimulates fibroblast which are the cells in the body responsible for collagen production. Small carbon crusts form on the skin resembling dots which fall away over the next 4 to 10 days.

Numbing cream is applied to the skin for 30 minutes prior to treatment. Most patient only feel a mild discomfort.

Swelling in the area treated will subside within three to four days. Small circular crusts form at each treatment point. These will also drop off within 4 to 10 days.

Creams will be prescribed to apply over the area treated, this expedites healing and minimise infection. Once the skin has healed the skin will look much tighter, brighter and more youthful.

Some tightening of the skin will be seen within a few weeks. The full effect of the treatment will be seen within the next three to four weeks.

Depending on the laxity of the skin you may need more than one treatment. On average most patients need 2 to 3 treatments for best results.
