When it comes to beauty technology for anti-aging, skin tightening and rejuvenation, we’re spoilt for choice. What really sets plasma technology apart from other existing hi-tech beauty remedies like HIFU, Radio-frequency, LED and Plasma?
For starters, each technology uses a highly different method to stimulate skin rejuvenation. For example, plasma treatments use ionized environmental gasses to generate heat and produce surface-level anti-aging and anti-bacterial benefits, while HIFU uses high-intensity ultrasound energy waves to heat targeted areas deep in the dermis.
Below is a breakdown of some of the other non-invasive, and relatively painless procedures for achieving youthful, glowing and elastic skin:
Hot Plasma
Hot plasma aka Fibroblasting treatments are a soft surgery method for skin resurfacing and treating aged skin, an alternative to more invasive eyelid reconstruction and face lift surgeries.
Visible skin tightening
Reduction of pigmentation
Reduction of wrinkles
Reduction of scarring
Removal of skin tags and warts
Cold Plasma
Cold jet plasma treatments are the emerging trend for non-invasive and painless plasma-based skin rejuvenation. Aside from reducing the risk of side effects and downtime associated with ablative treatments, non-ablative plasma treatments use controlled plasma-containing energy to targeted skin areas without damaging it.
Reduced surface-level skin bacteria & harmful microbes. In a past breakthrough experiment, a mere 2-minute treatment of cold atmospheric plasma was seen to decrease 40% of the bacterial load in plasma-treated wounds, regardless of the species of bacteria. Plasma energy destroys the cell membrane, DNA and protein of pore-dwelling bacteria that causes common skin problems such as acne, allergic dermatitis, and eczema. Increased absorption of vital skincare ingredients.
Plasma technology instantly activates the epidermal cells of the skin with high amounts of energy, which increases the skin’s hydrophilicity – in other words, the ability to absorb water. This means water-soluble substances such as molecules of vitamin B, vitamin C and various peptides are more likely to be absorbed through the skin.
Visible anti-aging results
The best thing about non-ablative cold plasma technology is that it benefits every skin type and condition. The innovative treatment can be done safely, comfortably and painlessly in the comforts of home, without any downtime required.
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) – “The Lifting Tool”
Uses high-intensity focused ultrasound energy waves, applied in short pulses
Deep penetration into the skin, going beyond surface, epidermis and dermis layers to reach SMAS (muscle) layer 3-4.5mm below the skin
Thermal energy heats cells in targeted area to cause cellular damage, causing tissue to contract and tighten while stimulating cells to produce more collagen
Intense and precise fractional ultrasound energy delivery
Results in tighter, firmer skin giving a “lifted” appearance with fewer wrinkles
Effects develop over 3 months, with single treatment results lasting around 1 year.
Radiofrequency (RF) – “The Contour Refiner”
Uses radiofrequency waves that converts energy from radio to heat of around 38-40 degrees
Heats tissue with focus on more surface epidermal layers to stimulate natural production of collagen
Bulk heating method, rather than precise targets
Immediate tightening of collagen fibers and increased volume, which naturally reduces fine lines and wrinkles
Results continue to develop over the next 4 weeks
Comfortable and painless
LED Light Therapy – “The Complexion Saver”
Uses color wavelengths of UV-free cold light that hits different depths in skin to stimulate skin rejuvenation & improvement of common problematic skin conditions
Blue LED (415nm) destroys p-acne bacteria & minimizes redness
Green LED (520nm) regulates melanin production, reduces pigmentation, and reduces redness
Yellow LED (580nm) activates toxin elimination, improves decongestion, and stimulates lymphocyte production
Red LED (630nm) increases collagen production, restores cell function, and provides essential energy for cellular renewal
Near infrared (830nm) penetrates the deepest level for anti-inflammation, wound-healing and cellular reproduction / repair
Requires up to 10 sessions or more for visible and long-lasting results
