Age-related changes on the skin are becoming more noticeable? The skin loses its elasticity and firmness, becomes dry, pale, 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 with 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 see what cold plasma is, how it works, and what results 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 an 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 ultraviolet radiation.
The force of exposure to 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 works 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 contribute to the regeneration of skin cells.
What cold plasma devices do cosmetologists use?
There are four cold plasma devices that are 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 is battery operated and has a low power, which is enough to lift the eyelids, eliminate age spots, smooth wrinkles, and also tighten thin skin. The device is made in China.
- There is also a cold plasma apparatus, 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 entire rejuvenation procedure fits in three simple steps:
- Training. The master examines your skin, talks about contraindications, cleanses the skin, applies an anesthetic ointment.
- The procedure itself. The master adjusts the device to the required power, disinfects the handpiece, and then sequentially treats each area of the skin. The exposure time is not more than 1 second. In conclusion, the skin is re-treated with an antiseptic agent, 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.
- Skin healing and restoration. At the end of the procedure, the master will tell you how to properly care for the skin. These recommendations are extremely important to strictly follow!
For a full recovery, you have to do the following:
- treat the skin with an antiseptic and moisturizer for a week;
- refrain from visiting the bath, sauna, swimming pool, solarium for a week;
- use sunscreen, as little as possible to be in the sun;
- do not use scrubs, refrain from peeling for 10 days;
- refuse decorative cosmetics for 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. ). Procedures are carried out no more than once a month. The maximum effect of the procedure is noted 4 months after the completion of the course.
