plasma skin tightening

Plasma skin tightening is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment that yields impressive results in improving skin quality. This treatment is a breakthrough technology that utilises the power of plasma to rejuvenate and tighten the skin. At Naomi Waite Aesthetics, we use advanced plasma pen technology to deliver this treatment with precision and accuracy.

During the procedure, the plasma pen is used to create small plasma arcs that target the deeper layers of the skin. This heat transfer stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins that keep the skin healthy and firm. These boost skin elasticity and contribute to the reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Additionally, plasma skin tightening reduces the appearance of acne scarring, uneven skin tone, and pigmentation.

One of the significant benefits of plasma skin tightening is that it is minimally invasive, making it a safe and highly effective alternative to traditional surgical facelifts. The results are not only immediate but also progressive as the skin continues to heal and rebuild over time.

At Naomi Waite Aesthetics, our experienced and qualified practitioners perform plasma skin tightening with utmost care and attention to detail. Our customised treatment plans ensure that each client has an individually tailored experience that meets their unique needs and preferences. We use the latest safety protocols to ensure that the treatment is as safe and comfortable as possible.

Plasma skin tightening is an excellent option for anyone looking to rejuvenate their skin without undergoing surgical procedures. At Naomi Waite Aesthetics, we are committed to providing our clients with outstanding service, latest technologies, and high-quality treatments that address their specific needs effectively.

Frequently asked questions

What is Plasma Skin Tightening and how does it work?

Plasma Skin Tightening is a non-surgical treatment that uses plasma energy to tighten and rejuvenate loose skin. It works by creating tiny electrical arcs on the skin’s surface that heat and contract the skin tissue. This stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, which results in a firmer and smoother complexion.

What areas of the body can be treated with Plasma Skin Tightening?

Plasma Skin Tightening is suitable for treating a wide range of areas on the body, including the face, neck, décolletage, arms, stomach, and thighs. It’s especially effective in treating loose skin around the eyes and eyelids, where traditional surgical procedures can be risky.

What should I expect during a Plasma Skin Tightening treatment?

Before the treatment, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort. During the treatment, a small handheld device is used to create the tiny electrical arcs on the skin’s surface. You may feel a slight tingling sensation, and some clients have described a mild burning smell. The treatment typically takes around 30-60 minutes depending on the area being treated.

Is Plasma Skin Tightening safe?

Yes, Plasma Skin Tightening is a safe and non-invasive treatment for most individuals. However, it’s important to ensure that the treatment is performed by a trained and qualified practitioner. At our clinic, our practitioners are highly experienced and use state-of-the-art equipment to perform the procedure.

What is the downtime after a Plasma Skin Tightening treatment?

After the treatment, you may experience minor swelling, redness, and scabbing in the treated area. These side-effects typically last for a few days to a week, and most clients can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment. It’s important to avoid direct sunlight and wear a high SPF sunscreen for at least one week post-treatment.

How many treatments are needed to achieve optimal results?

The number of treatments needed for optimal results varies depending on the individual’s skin type and condition. Most clients will notice a visible improvement after just one treatment, although 2-3 treatments may be needed for more significant results. Your practitioner will provide you with a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.

How long do the results of Plasma Skin Tightening last?

The long-term results of Plasma Skin Tightening can vary depending on a number of factors, including age, lifestyle, and skin condition. However, most clients will see results lasting 1-2 years, and some have seen results lasting up to 5 years. To maintain the results, a follow-up treatment may be recommended after 12-18 months.

Is there anyone who should not have Plasma Skin Tightening?

Plasma Skin Tightening is generally safe for most people. However, if you have a medical condition such as epilepsy or a pacemaker, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should not have this treatment. It’s also important to discuss any medications you are taking with your practitioner before the treatment.

Treatment care

PRE-TREATMENT CARE

•If you are displaying signs of cold or flu the treatment should be rescheduled.
•Contact lenses must be removed when performing treatment on the upper eyelids.
•Skin should not be inflamed in the area we are treating prior to procedure.
•If you have a sunburn/suntan treatment should be postponed for up to 8 weeks or until tan/burn signs disappear.
•Discontinue use of any AHA and/or Retinol skincare products for 4 weeks prior to treatment.
•Eyelash extensions receiving upper or lower eyelid treatment MUST have lashes removed prior to treatment and reapplied after 8 weeks.
•Discontinue use of any cleaners, creams, and serums containing acids such as salicylic, glycolic, and lactic 4 weeks prior to having any facial Plasma Skin Tightening procedures performed.
•Cold Sores. If you suffer from Herpes or Cold Sores, you should start your viral medications at least 1 week before treatment.
•Darker Skin Types. This treatment works best on skin types 1-3 (Very Light to Medium toned skin). If you are a 4 or 5 skin type (medium to dark), a patch test may be necessary to ensure that the you heal well and that your skin does not keloid or hypo / hyper pigment. This treatment is NOT recommended if you have skin type 6 (Dark Skin) clients because of the risk of keloiding and hypopigmentation. Your therapist will discuss other options with you in your initial consultation.
•Anti wrinkle injection treatments should be injected at least two weeks prior to any other beauty treatment, and 4-6 weeks after treatment. It takes 2 weeks for the toxin to be full strength, and to see optimal results, and it takes the skin 4-6 weeks to heal properly after a treatment, thus it is best to avoid Botox treatments between these times.

POST-TREATMENT CARE

If you have any concerns please contact Naomi on 07789634463

•It is normal for the area that has been treated to be red/pink, swollen and feel tight and dry. Occasional weeping is normal and will settle.

•Tiny crusts will quickly form on the treated area. These may be visible for up to about a week.

•Do NOT pick crusts off as this will delay the healing process and could cause hyperpigmentation and scarring.

•The area(s) treated may be cleansed daily with room temperature water and your fingers. Avoid using washcloths or any other washing devices. You are only removing excess oil and do not need to thoroughly cleanse the treated skin. Do NOT be tempted to rub, brush or exfoliate the area in any way to aid in the removal of the crusts. Pat dry with a clean tissue.

•Do NOT stand with your face under a hot shower for the first 3-4 days. This could increase swelling. Try to avoid shower gels or hair products running on to your face as this could cause irritation and inflammation. Rinse thoroughly with tepid water if products do come into contact with the area(s) treated and gently pat dry.

•Avoid swimming or chlorinated water as it can increase irritation.

•Keep scabs/crusts moist by applying provided aftercare three times a day – but only in small amounts, do not soak the area.

•Men should avoid shaving the treated area until it is fully healed (around 7 days).

•If you have had treatment around your eyes, you should avoid wearing contact lenses for 72 hours after your treatment.

•Once the scabs have fallen off (approximately 7 days), your skin may be a little pink. You may begin to apply your normal foundation/make-up/sunblock but avoid using skincare products containing glycolic/salicylic/retinoic/AHA /scrubs/ Clarisonic or any other active exfoliating ingredients/devices for at least 21 days, as this will cause irritation.

ABSOLUTELY NO MAKEUP UNTIL SCABS HAVE FALLEN OFF.

•Avoid sun exposure. Once the scabs have fallen off, you must wear a physical sunblock (zinc & titanium) and a hat while your skin is in the healing stages (pink in colour) and you should continue to do so for at least the next 12 weeks to avoid hyperpigmentation.

•Do NOT sunbath/sun tanning beds for 10–12-week post procedure.

•Do NOT have any other facial treatments in the same treatment area while your skin is healing (12 weeks).

•Do NOT wax treatment area for at least 21 days, if not longer. If you are receiving Plasma Pen treatment anywhere around the eyes, I would wait the full 12 weeks. It will be ok to tweeze or thread any unwanted hairs after scabs have fallen off the area.

• Avoid smoking and alcohol.

•Eat a whole food diet and avoid excess sugar to maximize results.

•On top of the immediate rejuvenation, lifting and tightening effects, you will likely experience from Plasma Pen, it takes 8 to 12 weeks for the full effects of your treatment to be seen.
