NeoGen Plasma is a non-ablative skin rejuvenation technology that uses nitrogen plasma to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture and tone. It is a unique technology that is safe to be used on the upper and lower eyelids, resulting in dramatic opening of the eyes- sometimes replacing the patient’s need for surgical blepharoplasty. It can also be used to tighten skin all over the body, including the chest, buttocks, legs, hands, neck and abdomen. It is safe to use on all skin types.
- How it works:
- Nitrogen gas is converted into plasma, a highly energized state of matter.
- The plasma energy is delivered to the skin in controlled pulses, causing microscopic injuries.
- This triggers the body’s natural wound-healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production in the dermal layers of the skin and reduced pigmentation, improvement of acne scarring and abnormal skin texture on the epidermal layer of skin.
- Benefits:
- Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
- Improved skin texture and tone
- Minimized pore size
- Treatment of acne scars
- Tightening of loose skin
- Key Features:
- Non-ablative: Does not remove the outer layer of the skin, minimizing downtime.
- Customizable: Treatment settings can be adjusted to target different skin concerns and depths.
- Minimal discomfort: Most patients experience minimal discomfort during treatment.
Important Considerations:
- Results: Improvement of hyperpigmentation, skin texture, scarring, fine lines and wrinkles is seen within 7 days of treatment. Type 3 collagen production can take up to 90 days and results in skin tightening and lifting.
- Side Effects: Common side effects include redness, swelling, temporary skin discoloration and mild discomfort. More serious side effects are rare. Depending on the technique used, social down time ranges from 1 to 7 days.
- Consultation: It’s crucial to schedule a consultation to ensure that NeoGen is the right treatment for you. Because the results are determined by the overall health and healing ability of the patient, a thorough medical history must be obtained at the time of consultation.
