Age-related changes on the skin become more noticeable? The skin loses elasticity and firmness, becomes dry, pale, the first wrinkles appear? This is familiar to any woman after 30-35 years. But this is not a 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 kind of 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 formed under the influence of an 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 power of exposure to cold plasma is enough to have an excellent anti-aging effect, but not enough to damage the skin.
Cold plasma is a completely safe procedure, it has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and bactericidal effects.
Cold plasma rejuvenation is a procedure 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 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, combined as you can use 36 programs.
- Plasma Pen Maglev. This device is battery powered and has a low power, which is enough to lift the eyelids, remove age spots, smooth out wrinkles and also 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 (dental care, 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 out wrinkles, remove birthmarks, papillomas, tattoos, treat acne, correct scars and scars. The device operates at low, medium and high exposure intensities.
Procedure
The whole rejuvenation procedure fits in three simple steps:
- Education. 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 effect, disinfects the handpiece and then sequentially treats each area of the skin. The exposure time is not more than 1 second. Finally, the skin is re-treated with an antiseptic, followed by application of a moisturizing or nourishing cream. Depending on the treatment area chosen, the duration of the session may vary from 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Skin healing and recovery. At the end of the procedure, the master will tell you how to properly care for the skin. These recommendations are extremely important to follow closely!
For a full recovery, 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, do not peel 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, 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 not performed more than once a month. The maximum effect of the procedure is noted 4 months after the end of the course.
Side effects
The method itself has no side effects, but it is important to understand that cold plasma rejuvenation can only be performed by a certified specialist on a high quality device that has passed all the necessary controls.

The procedure itself is almost painless, an anesthetic cream is applied to the most sensitive areas (for example, eyelids). During the treatment of the face 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 continue for several months after the procedure.
The disadvantages of cold plasma may include the high cost of the procedure, the possibility of acute skin reactions (inflammation, redness, allergies), a long recovery period for particularly sensitive skin.
Prices for the procedure
