Age-related skin changes are increasingly visible? The skin loses its elasticity and firmness, becomes dry, pale, the first wrinkles appear? This is familiar to all women after 30-35 years. But that's no reason to despair, go under the surgeon's knife or inject painful injections into the face.
Cold plasma rejuvenation is a unique and completely painless method of skin regeneration, which 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 results you can really expect.
Cold plasma - fancy or 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. The active factors are neutral gas, active molecules, charged particles, heat and weak ultraviolet radiation.
The cold plasma exposure strength is enough to achieve excellent anti-aging effect, but not enough to harm the skin.
Cold plasma is a completely safe procedure, it 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, 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:
- Médiselor BeautyMonster WHITE. This is a high frequency device with a comfortable handle, made in South Korea. The model offers 8 frequency and power levels, combining which you can use 36 programs.

Procedure
The entire rejuvenation procedure is in three simple steps:
- Training. The master examines your skin, talks about contraindications, cleanses the skin, applies anesthetic ointment.
- The procedure itself. The master adjusts the device to the required power, disinfects the handpiece, and then sequentially treats each area of the skin. The exposure time does not exceed 1 second. Finally, the skin is retreated with an antiseptic agent, followed by the application of a moisturizing or nourishing cream. Depending on the treatment area chosen, the duration of the session can vary from 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Healing and restoration of the skin. 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 strictly!
For full recovery, you need to do the following:
- treat the skin with an antiseptic and moisturizer for a week;

- use sunscreen, as little as possible to be in the sun;
- do not use scrubs, refrain from peeling for 10 days;

The number of sessions depends on the condition and characteristics of your skin, your 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 carried out no more than once a month. The maximum effect of the procedure is noted 4 months after the end of the course.
