What are cosmetic plasma?
Cosmetic plasma use powerful beams of light and energy to initiate tissue repair or the removal of damaged tissue.
Lumex Beauty Center provides plasma therapy as well as other therapies that utilize similar forms of energy to achieve specific cosmetic results. These therapies are particularly beneficial for skin concerns like melasma, scarring, and even wrinkles and fine lines.
Dr. Gael performs all plasma therapies safely and supervises you closely throughout the process. He tells you exactly what to expect during your initial consultation so you can prepare for your treatment accordingly.
Which Plasma therapies are available?
Lumex Beauty Center uses the latest technology to provide you with highly advanced procedures and services. During your consultation, Dr. Gael asks about your treatment goals and helps you explore your options to address them. Available plasma therapies and other therapies that use some form of light or energy are:
CO2 fractional plasma resurfacing
A carbon dioxide (CO2) fractional laser uses light to remove the outermost layer of your skin, treating many of the damages you see on its surface. Additionally, the plasma heats deeper layers to stimulate new collagen fibers. These make your skin firmer and more youthful as they grow.
Intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy
Intense pulsed light is different from a plasma. Rather than using a single-wavelength focused beam of light, it delivers flashes of many wavelengths into your skin. These treatments target pigmented cells and can reduce features like sun spots, melasma, and broken blood vessels.
Radiofrequency (RF) micro-needling
Micro-needling alone is a great way to stimulate healing and collagen production within your skin by creating micro-injuries that your body heals on its own. By adding a form of energy called radiofrequency, you can see drastic results more quickly than otherwise.
What are the benefits of using cosmetic plasma?
Plasma and other energy-delivering therapies like IPL and radiofrequency micro-needling offer great alternatives to injectables, topical or oral medications, and even some surgical procedures. With these therapies, you can find a balance between the lengthy healing time of a typical surgery and the very subtle or nonexistent results of over-the-counter products.
Dr. Gael gives you specific instructions for preparation and aftercare to make sure you get the most out of your plasma therapy.
