Are age-related changes on the skin becoming more noticeable? Does the skin lose elasticity and firmness, becomes dry, pale, does the first wrinkles appear? This is familiar to every woman after 30-35 years. But this is no reason to despair, to go under the surgeon's knife or to inject painful injections in the face.
Cold plasma rejuvenation is a unique and completely painless method of skin regeneration, which helps eliminate the signs of aging, wrinkles, age spots, varicose veins and other skin problems.
Let's see what cold plasma is, how it works, and what kind of 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 does not exceed 1%, and the gas temperature is only 30-40 degrees. Active factors are neutral gas, active molecules, charged particles, heat and low ultraviolet radiation.
The strength of cold plasma exposure is enough to achieve a very good anti-aging effect, but not enough to damage the skin.
Cold plasma is a completely safe procedure, 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, they begin to naturally produce collagen and elastin, which contribute 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 grip, made in South Korea. The model provides 8 levels of frequency and power, combining which 36 programs can be used.
- Maglev plasma pen. This device is battery operated and has low power, which is enough to lift the eyelids, get rid of age spots, smooth wrinkles, and even firm 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, monopolar contact electrocoagulation and microcoagulation. This device is also used to smooth wrinkles, remove moles, papillomas, tattoos, treat acne, correct scars and scars. The device works at low, medium and high exposure intensity levels.
Procedure
The entire rejuvenation procedure is divided into three simple steps:
- Training. The master examines your skin, talks about contraindications, cleans the skin, applies anesthetic ointment.
- The procedure itself. The master adjusts the device to the required power, disinfects the handpiece and then treats each area of the skin in sequence. The exposure time is no more than 1 second. In conclusion, the skin is again treated with an antiseptic agent, followed by the application of a moisturizing or nourishing cream. Depending on the chosen area to be treated, 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 need to do the following:
- treat the skin with an antiseptic and moisturizer for a week;
- refrain from visiting the bathroom, 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 the skin, age, 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 carried out no more than once a month. The maximum effect of the procedure is detected 4 months after the completion 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 necessary checks.
If you have an incompetent master, bruises, burns, skin bumps, pigmentation, and allergic reactions can be expected as side effects.

In addition to the rejuvenation and lifting effect, among the advantages of cold plasma there is also the elimination of scars, scars, vascular networks, stretch marks and other skin defects. Plasma allows you to get rid of acne, seborrhea, skin fungus, and even heal ulcers. The procedure itself is almost painless, an anesthetic cream is applied to the most sensitive areas (for example, the eyelids). During the treatment of the face with cold plasma, there is no contact with the skin, which eliminates the 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 include, perhaps, 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
The cost of cold plasma rejuvenation depends on the region, the beauty salon, the apparatus, the experience of the master and other factors.
The larger the area treated, the higher the cost of the procedure. For example, rejuvenation of the entire face, neck and décolleté, as well as non-surgical blepharoplasty, i. e. complete rejuvenation of the eyes, will cost more. Forehead rejuvenation, study of eyebrows or nasolabial folds will cost less.
