What is plasma lift?
Plasma Lift is a revolutionary non-surgical skin tightening treatment that uses plasma energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. This minimally invasive procedure can effectively reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin, offering a rejuvenated and youthful appearance without the need for surgery.
How does it work?
Plasma Lift works by ionizing gases in the air to create a plasma arc. This arc creates a tiny, controlled burn on the skin's surface, triggering the body's natural healing response. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to tighter and smoother skin over time.

What to expect

Results
& Recovery
Day 1: Immediately After Treatment
​- Redness and Swelling: The treated area will be red and swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. This is normal and expected.
​
- Tiny Brown Spots: You will notice tiny brown spots or scabs where the plasma arc made contact with the skin. These spots are part of the natural healing process.
​
Days 2-3: Initial Healing Phase
- Swelling Peak: Swelling may peak during these days, especially in areas with thinner skin, such as the eyelids. Use cool compresses to help reduce swelling.
​
- Tenderness: The treated area may feel tender to the touch, and you may experience a slight tingling sensation.
Days 4-7: Scabbing and Healing
- Scabbing: The tiny brown spots will begin to form scabs. It's crucial not to pick at these scabs, as this can lead to scarring and infection.
​
- Itching: Mild itching is common as the skin begins to heal. Resist the urge to scratch.
​
- Redness: Redness may still be present but will gradually start to subside.
​
Days 7-10: Scabs Falling Of
- Scabs Falling Off: The scabs will naturally begin to fall off during this period. Do not forcibly remove them.
​
- New Skin: Once the scabs fall off, you will see new, pinkish skin underneath. This new skin is delicate, so continue to handle it with care.
​
Days 10-14: Continued Healing
- Residual Redness: Some residual redness may persist, especially in sensitive areas. This redness will continue to fade over the coming weeks.
​
- Improvement: You will start to notice an improvement in skin texture and tightness as collagen production increases.
​
Weeks 2-4: Final Healing Phase
​- Redness Fading: Any remaining redness will gradually fade.
​
- Skin Texture: Skin texture will continue to improve, and you will see more noticeable tightening and smoothing effects.
​
- Sunscreen: Continue to apply sunscreen daily to protect the new skin and prevent hyperpigmentation.
​
Months 1-3: Optimal Results
- Full Results: Full results are typically visible within 2-3 months as collagen and elastin production reach their peak.
​
- Maintenance: Depending on your individual needs and skin condition, additional treatments or maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain the results.
