What is Plasmage®?
Plasmage: Versatile Skin Rejuvenation (Non-Surgical) Treatment
Plasmage® is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that harnesses the power of plasma energy to address various skin issues. This cutting-edge device is especially effective on delicate areas such as the upper and lower eyelids, where lasers and surgery may be too harsh or impractical. Unlike many other aesthetic treatments, Plasmage® achieves these results without making direct contact with the skin, making it gentler yet still highly effective.
Plasmage® can treat fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, texture concerns, xanthelasma (yellowish deposits around the eyelids), skin tags, and more…
The versatility of Plasmage allows practitioners to customize the treatment for each patient’s unique needs, offering precise energy delivery to rejuvenate specific areas. Whether you’re looking to reduce signs of aging or improve the texture of your skin, Plasmage® provides a targeted, non-invasive solution.
How Does the Plasmage® Treatment Work?
Plasmage® delivers plasma energy to the skin using a small probe that generates plasma by ionizing the gas in the air. The plasma energy is then directed to specific points on the skin, creating tiny micro-injuries in a controlled manner. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, encouraging collagen production and cell regeneration beneath the skin’s surface. This not only smooths wrinkles and refines skin texture but also rejuvenates the skin over time, providing long-lasting results.
Because the energy is applied in focused dots, the treatment area heals quickly. Most patients experience some redness and mild swelling for 24 to 48 hours after treatment, but you can resume regular activities right away. As the micro-injuries heal, the plasma energy continues to stimulate the skin, delivering rejuvenating effects that last well beyond the initial treatment.
How Long is a Typical Treatment Session?
Plasmage® sessions are designed to be efficient, allowing you to get back to your day quickly. Depending on the size of the treatment area, the procedure itself generally takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Including prep time and any post-treatment soothing care, you can expect your appointment to last around an hour. This makes Plasmage® an ideal treatment for those with busy schedules who want effective results without sacrificing time.
The length of each session can vary based on the complexity and extent of the treatment area. For smaller, more targeted areas like the eyelids, sessions may be shorter. However, larger areas or treatments involving multiple skin concerns may require a little extra time to ensure thorough, customized care.
IS Plasmage® TREATMENT PAINFUL?
While some may worry about discomfort, Plasmage® is generally well-tolerated by patients. Before starting, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to minimize any discomfort. During the procedure, patients often report feeling a mild warming sensation as the plasma energy interacts with the skin, but thanks to the numbing cream, the process remains comfortable.
Post-treatment, your skin may feel slightly tender, similar to a mild sunburn. A cooling serum or the RE|PAIR Skin Revitalizing Serum may be applied to soothe any redness and inflammation. The serum is specifically designed to reduce post-treatment sensitivity. This step ensures a gentle, comfortable experience from start to finish, allowing you to relax and enjoy the rejuvenating effects of your treatment.
Plasmage Skin Rejuvenation Before & After
WHAT IS THE Downtime After a Plasmage® Treatment SESSION in CHICAGO?
One of the key benefits of Plasmage® is its minimal downtime. Unlike traditional surgical procedures, Plasmage® allows you to resume daily activities soon after treatment. Immediately following the session, you may notice small, visible dots or scabs on the treated area, which are part of the skin’s natural healing process. These scabs typically fall off within 7 to 10 days as the skin heals.
Swelling is also common, especially on the second day, but it tends to subside within a few days. The area may remain tender for up to 4 days, and makeup can be applied to cover any redness once the skin has fully healed. Any residual redness generally fades over the next few weeks, leaving you with a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
Am I a Candidate for Plasmage®?
Most people seeking skin rejuvenation are good candidates for Plasmage®. This treatment is suitable for individuals of all skin types and ages, offering a safe and effective way to address a range of skin concerns. Whether you’re dealing with fine lines, pigmentation, scars, or even skin tags, Plasmage® is versatile enough to cater to various needs.
However, it’s always best to schedule a consultation with Dr. Kovak and his team of specialists. Our experts can evaluate your skin type, discuss your goals, and determine whether Plasmage® is the ideal choice for you.
What Makes Plasmage® a Standout Treatment?
Plasmage® has several advantages over traditional cosmetic procedures:
- Non-invasive: There’s no cutting, stitches, or surgical trauma involved.
- Fast results with minimal downtime: You’ll notice improvement from your first session, with lasting results over time.
- Safe for sensitive areas: Delicate regions like the eyelids can be treated safely, where other treatments may be too harsh.
- Customizable: With multiple intensity levels and fractionation settings, the treatment can be precisely tailored to each individual’s skin needs.
How Soon Will I See Results, and How Long Do They Last?
The results of Plasmage® are often visible immediately after treatment, especially in terms of skin tightening and improved texture. However, the full benefits become more apparent over the next few weeks as the skin continues to heal and regenerate collagen. Most patients experience lasting results, with continued improvement over several months.
For long-lasting skin rejuvenation, follow-up sessions may be recommended based on your unique skin needs and goals. Dr. Kovak will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan to ensure optimal and enduring results.
