Are age-related skin changes becoming more noticeable? The skin loses elasticity and firmness, becomes dry, pale, the first wrinkles appear? This is familiar to every woman after 30-35 years. But this is no reason to despair, go under the surgeon's knife or inject painful injections into the face.
Cold plasma rejuvenation is a unique, completely painless method of skin regeneration that allows you to get rid of signs of aging, wrinkles, age spots, spider veins and other skin problems.
Let's see what cold plasma is, how it works and what result you can really expect.
Cold plasma - fantasy 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 not 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 ultraviolet radiation.
The strength of exposure to cold plasma is sufficient to obtain an excellent anti-aging effect, but it is not sufficient to damage the skin.
Cold plasma is a completely safe procedure, has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and bactericidal action.
Cold plasma rejuvenation is a procedure that is performed using a device that works on the basis of plasma current. The device is a special pen with a removable 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 contributes to the regeneration of skin cells.
What cold plasma devices do cosmetologists use?
There are four cold plasma devices used in cosmetology:
- Mediselor BeautyMonster WHITE. This is a high frequency device with a comfortable handle, made in South Korea. The model provides 8 levels of frequency and power, combining which you can use 36 programs.
- Plasma pen Maglev. This device works with batteries and has low power, which is enough to lift the eyelids, remove age spots, smooth wrinkles, and also to tighten thin skin. The device is made in China.
- There is also a cold plasma device, which is used not only in cosmetology but also in medicine (dentistry, surgery, dermatology). This is a powerful professional machine.
- Another device that includes cold plasma, contact monopolar electrocoagulation and microcoagulation. Such a device is also used to smooth wrinkles, remove moles, papillomas, tattoos, treat acne, correct scars and scars. The device operates at low, medium and high levels of exposure intensity.
Procedure
The whole rejuvenation procedure fits into three simple steps:
- Training. The master examines your skin, talks about contraindications, cleans the skin, applies anesthetic ointment.
- The procedure itself. The master adjusts the device to the required power, disinfects the nozzle and then sequentially treats each area of skin. Exposure time is no more than 1 second. Finally, the skin is treated again with an antiseptic, followed by applying a moisturizing or nourishing cream. Depending on the treatment area chosen, the duration of the session can vary from 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Healing and recovery of the skin. At the end of the procedure the master will tell you how to properly care for the skin. These recommendations are extremely important for strict compliance!
For a full recovery you need to do the following:
- treat the skin with antiseptic and moisturizer for a week;
- refrain from visiting the bath, sauna, swimming pool, solarium for a week;
- use sunscreen as little as possible in the sun;
- do not use scrubs, refrain from peeling for 10 days;
- refuse decorative cosmetics up to 10 days.
The number of sessions depends on the condition and characteristics of your skin, age, number of problem areas. Sessions can be from 1 (for young skin with barely noticeable age-related changes) to 7-10 (for deep wrinkles, scars, acne, etc. ). The procedures are performed no more than once a month. The maximum effect of the procedure is noted 4 months after the end of the course.

Plasma allows you to get rid of acne, seborrhea, skin fungus and even heal ulcers. The procedure itself is almost painless, anesthetic cream is applied to the most sensitive areas (eg eyelids). When treating the face with cold plasma there is no contact with the skin, which eliminates the infection.
Cold plasma activates the natural processes of elastin and collagen production, which lasts for several months after the procedure.
Disadvantages of cold plasma include perhaps the high cost of the procedure, the possibility of acute skin reactions (inflammation, redness, allergies), a long recovery period for particularly sensitive skin.
