Facial aesthetics and contouring services
Plasma jet
Treatment method and purpose
- Plasma energy creates superficial thermal points on the skin and may be used for limited correction of texture or superficial laxity. This is not a laser; use around the eyes requires careful patient selection and appropriate eye protection.
Suitable candidates and limitations
- Limited cases of superficial laxity after examination; severe sagging, skin prone to pigmentation and scarring, and eye problems may make this unsuitable.
Sessions, time to results, and longevity
- Pinpoint crusts and swelling develop during healing; recovery time and the number of sessions depend on the extent and intensity of the procedure.
Possible complications and safety considerations
- Burns, persistent pigmentation, scarring, infection, and eye injury may occur; results are not equivalent to eyelid surgery.
Preparation before your visit
- At the examination, disclose your medical history, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding, cold sores, medications, and recent procedures. Prescription medications, especially blood thinners, must not be stopped without medical advice. Active infection or inflammation in the area must be assessed before the procedure.
Post-treatment care and follow-up
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning, use sunscreen and restorative care as advised by your doctor, and do not pick at your skin. When you can resume makeup, exercise, and active skincare products depends on the treatment method and intensity.
