Plasma Jet

The Plasma Jet is an innovative aesthetic procedure, capable of repairing the skin and stimulating the production of proteins, on the body or on the face.

It is considered one of the most effective processes to rejuvenate the face, mainly in the eye area, and to correct eyelid problems (example: fallen eyelids). It can also be indicated for blepharoplasty without cuts, reduction and elimination of wrinkles, expression marks, stretch marks, scars, cellulite, facial and body flabbiness, age spots, spots, melanosis, and warts, acne, among others.

Plasma Jet works anywhere you have noticed skin problems. Whether it is your eyelids, your face, your neck, your arms, even a skin mark, this technology offers a perfect look without the risk of surgery.

How does it work?

The treatment is performed quickly and painlessly, with no need for surgery and no downtime.

This revolutionary new technology uses plasma to contract and firm the fibers within the skin. There are no scalpels or lasers involved. Instead, the device emits a small electric arc (that never touches the skin), which:

• results in increased production of collagen and elastin;
• improves the microcirculation in the skin;
• reduces keloid; and yet
• facilitates the entry of actives into the skin.

This plasma arc vaporizes the area by ionizing the gas in the air, which creates heat deep within the skin. The heat reaches the fibroblast cells, stimulating them to firm, tone and lift the skin without damaging it.

Unlike many other aesthetic treatments, with Plasma Jet there are no open wounds. As a result, there are fewer side effects and the healing process is much faster.

Soon after treatment, you will already start to notice the difference in your skin. Small dry patches or scabs will form in the treatment area, which will disappear within a week. Treatments around the eye area may take longer, a period of 8 to 10 days, as this area is more sensitive.

After the treatment it is essential to take some care, which will be indicated at the time of treatment (see FAQ), such as the use of sunscreen, and avoid sun exposure. And, depending on the treated area, it may be necessary to apply anti-inflammatory ointment and/or specific cream, already at home and daily, so that you have a healthy and safe recovery.

Once the skin heals, it will look younger and more radiant. The most important thing to note is that these results are permanent, and one treatment is all you need. However, if you are looking for "stronger" results, you can repeat the procedure again, after an interval period of three months. But as indicated, the results of the Plasma Jet are long-lasting, so you only need to repeat the treatment later if your skin gives way further with age.

Recovery Process

The recovery process for this procedure goes through 3 stages:

• Inflammatory phase: 1 to 4 days (there may be swelling/edema, redness, and feeling of dry skin due to cauterization);
• Proliferative phase: 5 to 20 days (regeneration);
• Maturation phase: this is the last phase of healing/repairing of the tissue, which begins on the 21st day and can last for months. As the days go by, the skin heals naturally.

The plasma jet is indicated for clients who wish to treat certain skin problems, which are normally done through surgery and needles. At the Michelle Bond Clinic we treat a variety of skin problems with a non-invasive, non-surgical approach, such as:

• Eyelid lift (Blepharoplasty without cutting, for sagging eyelids and those with excess skin);
• Dark Circles;
• Wrinkles and expression lines (crow's feet, Chinese mustache, marionette line, forehead lines and wrinkles);
• Treatment on the entire face, with the objective of obtaining a lifting effect;
• Smoker's lines around the mouth;
• Firm the flabby neck and neck;
• Milium (pockets of tallow);
• Rejuvenation of the hands;
• Marks on the skin;
• Sun spots;
• Removal of warts;
• White or red stretch marks;
• Scars;
• Small tattoos for lightening;
• Body parts with dermatosis in general.

Important note: in order for you to undergo this procedure you need a previous evaluation consultation, to rule out any contraindication (see FAQ).
