Are age-related changes on your skin becoming more and more noticeable? Does the skin lose its elasticity and firmness, become dry, pale, and the first wrinkles appear? This is familiar to every woman after 30-35 years. But this is not a reason to despair, go under the surgeon’s knife or inject painful injections in the face.

Rejuvenation using cold plasma is a unique, completely painless method of skin regeneration, which allows you to get rid of signs of aging, wrinkles, age spots, spider veins and other skin problems.

Let's figure out what cold plasma is, how it works and what results you can really expect.

Cold plasma – science fiction or a new word in cosmetology?

Cold plasma is an ionized gas consisting of charged and completely neutral particles that are formed under the influence of electric current. In cold plasma, the percentage of charged particles is no more than 1%, and the gas temperature is only 30-40 degrees. The active factors are neutral gas, active molecules, charged particles, heat and low-level ultraviolet radiation.

The force of cold plasma is enough to get an excellent anti-aging effect, but not enough to harm the skin.

Cold plasma is a completely safe procedure; it has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and bactericidal effects.

Cold plasma rejuvenation is a procedure that is performed using a device that operates on the basis of plasma current. The device is a special pen with a replaceable tip.

The essence of the procedure is that when the skin is heated to 40°C, collagen and elastin naturally begin to be produced, which promote the regeneration of skin cells.

What cold plasma devices do cosmetologists use?

There are four cold plasma devices that are used in cosmetology:

1. Mediselor BeautyMonster WHITE This is a high-frequency device with a comfortable handle, made in South Korea. The model provides 8 frequency and power levels, combining which you can use 36 programs.
2. Plasma Pen Maglev This device is battery-powered and has a low power, which is enough to lift eyelids, eliminate age spots, smooth out wrinkles, and tighten thin skin. The device is manufactured in China.
3. Helios A domestic cold plasma device, which is used not only in cosmetology, but also in medicine (dentistry, surgery, dermatology). This is a powerful professional device.
4. EHHF-35-MEDSI This is also a domestic device, which includes cold plasma, contact monopolar electrocoagulation and microcoagulation. This device is also used to smooth out wrinkles, remove moles, papillomas, tattoos, treat acne, and correct scars. The device operates at low, medium and high intensity levels.

Plasma technologies in Russia

Since the beginning of the 2000s, plasma medicine has been actively developing in Russia. However, such growth led to the appearance of devices in which the word “plasma” was used as a marketing ploy, but in fact, such devices are not based on gas plasma at all, but on the well-known method of electrical coagulation of tissue. The result of its use is post-traumatic pigmentation, vulnerability to secondary infection and other complications caused by skin burns. These devices have a completely different purpose.

In 2015, a group of Russian specialists presented their own technology for generating cold plasma - a gas discharge at atmospheric pressure (in the open air) was implemented and certified for medical use only in the Helios device (research and production).

Clinical studies at Russian National Research Medical University named after. Pirogov and the Institute of Immunology of the FMBA of Russia demonstrated the effectiveness of the device in various fields of medicine.

Namely:

Surgery

• Sterilization of surgical instruments
• Treatment of purulent skin lesions (therapy of phlegmon, abscesses)
• Sterilization of wounds
• Stop bleeding
• Treatment of the skin to accelerate the repair of damaged tissue during surgery

Dermatology

• Treatment of trophic ulcers of vascular etiology
• Treatment of dermatitis, ulcerative wounds with local and systemic vasculitis
• Treatment of cutaneous leishmaniasis, chronic ulcers, seborrhea, keratosis, fungal infections, papillomas, psoriasis, herpes

Dentistry

• Teeth whitening
• Sterilization of carious cavities
• Treatment of periodontal disease, chronic gingivitis

Cosmetology

• Treatment of acne, rosacea
• Smoothing wrinkles and rejuvenating skin
• Elimination of cosmetic defects (scars)
• Destruction of biofilms

For example, in dentistry, the positive effect of using plasma is achieved due to the flow of free electrons, active RONS particles, charged ions, which completely disinfects the canal without leaving a single untreated area; moreover, plasma increases the adhesiveness of the tooth surface, which allows the filling to adhere more firmly to the tissue tooth

The method is distinguished by painless use, a short recovery period, the absence of side effects that are observed when exposed to antibiotics, visible results almost after the first session, compatibility with other methods of treatment and an increase in the effect during the entire period of therapy, a prolonged effect.

In this article, we will dwell in more detail on the use of Helios in cosmetology and dermatology, especially since in these areas the device is already successfully used in several clinics in the country.

The Helios cold plasma treatment device is registered as a medical product and has the appropriate permits for use.

Procedure

The entire rejuvenation procedure fits into three simple steps:

1. Preparation. The specialist examines your skin, talks about contraindications, cleanses the skin, and applies anesthetic ointment.
2. The procedure itself. The specialist sets the device to the required power, disinfects the tip, and then sequentially treats each area of ​​the skin. Exposure time is no more than 1 second. Finally, the skin is re-treated with an antiseptic, followed by the application of a moisturizing or nourishing cream. Depending on the selected treatment area, the duration of the session can vary from 30 minutes to 1 hour.
3. Skin healing and restoration. Upon completion of the procedure, the master will tell you how to properly care for your skin. It is extremely important to strictly follow these recommendations!

For a full recovery you will have to do the following:

• treat the skin with an antiseptic and moisturizer for a week;
• refrain from visiting the bathhouse, sauna, swimming pool, solarium for a week;
• use sunscreen and stay in the sun as little as possible;
• do not use scrubs, refrain from peeling for 10 days;
• Avoid using decorative cosmetics for up to 10 days.

The number of sessions depends on the condition and characteristics of your skin, age, and the number of problem areas. Sessions can range from 1 (for young skin with barely noticeable age-related changes) to 7-10 (for deep wrinkles, scars, acne, etc.). Procedures are carried out no more than once a month. The maximum effect of the procedure is observed 4 months after completion of the course.

Side effects

The method itself has no side effects, but it is important to understand that rejuvenation with cold plasma can only be performed by a certified specialist using a high-quality device that has passed all the necessary tests.

If you end up with an incompetent specialist, you can expect bruises, burns, bumps on the skin, pigmentation, and allergic reactions as side effects.

Trust the care of your skin only to experienced, qualified specialists!

Delicate question

If you have managed to wrap your head around thoughts about the enormous cost of such a procedure, then discard them. Of course, you are impressed by the incredible list of cold plasma capabilities, but in fact, it is one of the most accessible methods of rejuvenation.

You pay for smoothing out annoying wrinkles, and as a bonus you get removal of pigmentation and post-acne. For comparison, you can calculate the cost of injections, laser resurfacing and a course of peelings.

Advantages and disadvantages

The procedure undoubtedly has more advantages, so let's start with them! Rejuvenation using cold plasma allows you to tighten drooping eyelids and remove bags under the eyes without surgery, smooth out wrinkles without Botox injections in the face, and start the process of natural skin regeneration.

In addition to the rejuvenation and lifting effect, the benefits of cold plasma also include getting rid of scars, scars, vascular networks, stretch marks and other defects on the skin. Plasma allows you to get rid of acne, seborrhea, skin fungus and even heals ulcers. The procedure itself is practically painless; an anesthetic cream is applied to the most sensitive areas (for example, eyelids). During facial treatment with cold plasma, there is no contact with the skin, which eliminates infection.

Cold plasma activates the natural processes of elastin and collagen production, which continues for several months after the procedure.

The disadvantages of cold plasma include, perhaps, the high cost of the procedure, the possibility of acute skin reactions (inflammation, redness, allergies), and a long recovery period for particularly sensitive skin.

Plasmolifting results before and after photos

After plasma lifting, you will immediately notice how refreshed your facial skin is. The color became more saturated, and the skin felt much more elastic to the touch. If the procedure was carried out on the hair, then hair growth is restored and hair loss is reduced. To make the procedure even more effective, you can add various beneficial substances to the plasma, such as vitamins, biopeptides, and other beneficial substances.

Here is a photo of the result of facial plasma lifting before and after the procedure.

When pure plasma is injected under the skin of the face, there can be no negative effects or allergies, since the plasma is taken from your own body. The areas where plasma was injected may temporarily become slightly red and swollen.

In general, you don’t need to prepare much for plasma lifting. However, some recommendations are better to follow. Do not eat 4 hours before the scheduled time of the procedure, completely eliminate alcohol and minimize the intake of fatty foods as much as possible. Before taking blood, drink more water, maybe sweet water, such as tea. If you have previously had herpes, it is better to tell your doctor right away. After you have been injected with plasma, you should not use cosmetics, and it is also better not to visit a swimming pool with a sauna or bodies of water. All this can cause infection at the puncture sites. If you want healthy, good-looking skin, then plasma lifting is what you need.

Prices for the procedure

The cost of rejuvenation with cold plasma depends on the region, beauty salon, device and experience of the specialist. The price can vary from 1,500 rubles for small areas (between the eyebrows, parotid wrinkles) to 20,000-30,000 rubles for rejuvenation of the entire face, neck or décolleté.

The larger the area being treated, the higher the cost of the procedure. For example, the most expensive will be rejuvenation of the entire face, neck and décolleté, as well as non-surgical blepharoplasty, that is, complete eye rejuvenation. It will cost less to rejuvenate the forehead, work on the area between the eyebrows or the nasolabial area.

Cold plasma rejuvenation is a truly unique way to get rid of age-related skin changes - painlessly, quickly, effectively and safely. Trust only experienced professionals and do not forget to check the certificates that give you the right to work on a cold plasma machine! You deserve better!
