Skin rejuvenation is one of the most popular fields of modern aesthetic cosmetology. Moreover, progressively non-invasive (without compromising skin integrity) and even non-contact methods of exposure are increasingly preferred today. And one of the most innovative and effective methods is plasma rejuvenation (non-surgical plastic surgery).
Most, if not all, skin rejuvenation is based on the principle of controlled skin damage, which provokes the regeneration process, which ultimately leads to a reduction in the visible signs of aging. The plasma method works the same way, but with a few tricks.
The first, active ingredient, plasma, is a high-energy ionized gas. Second, the nitrogen used is chemically inert and suppresses tissue burning, replacing the oxygen needed for the oxidation process. As a result, the skin layers are damaged by plasma (due to heating, splitting, and evaporation), but they do not burn in the same way as the ablation laser does, so no open wounds are formed. This approach reduces the risk of side effects such as scars, infections and discoloration.
What to expect from plasma rejuvenation
Reduce existing age-related changes, preventing their progression and early appearance. The procedure has a pronounced lifting effect (due to "evaporation" of the skin flap), softens the skin relief by reducing the depth of dynamic and static wrinkles, softens the course of natural wrinkles, improves and evens out skin tone. Within a few months. The greatest effect is expected after about 3 months.

- Presence or suspicion of pre-existing skin cancer in the affected area. Other benign neoplasms are not contraindicated for plasma rejuvenation.
- ENT diseases in the acute stage (sinusitis and other forms of sinusitis, rhinitis, rhinosinusitis).
- Pregnancy. At the same time, the procedure has a fairly high safety profile as it does not cause systemic (general) changes and pronounced metabolic changes. And there are reports in medical publications about the successful use of plasma rejuvenation in women carrying a baby. But do 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 for satisfactory health is usually not a reason to refuse an anti-aging procedure.
- Acute period of infectious diseases, increase in body temperature.
- Thyroid disease accompanied by local or diffuse hypertrophy of its tissues and / or hormonal changes.
- Kidney and liver failure.

How the procedure is conducted
Plasma facial rejuvenation does not require special training, pre-adherence to any diet or change in normal lifestyle. But a few days before the session it is advisable not to use aggressive scrubs and peels, visit the solarium and people prone to allergic reactions do not try new products and cosmetics.
Even patients with a low pain threshold do not need local anesthesia when using the device. The treatment / rejuvenation session lasts 15-30 minutes, its duration depending on the severity of the problem and the area of the treated area.
The patient sits on a cosmetology chair or couch while a specialist performing the procedure applies a contactless, pulsating stream or plasma stream from the tip of the device to his or her skin. At the same time, it is possible to choose the most suitable operating mode for a particular patient. The session usually begins with pre-treatment of the skin to prepare it for further strong effects and to reduce the intensity of the sensations experienced. It is not necessary to apply the treated area after the procedure. For the next 3 days it is advisable to refrain from scrubs, peeling, beach visits and solarium.
The recommended number of procedures is 1-2 procedures per year.
