Skin Tightening

NeoGen Plasma Technology improves the skin from deep within and tightening happens during every treatment, regardless of the concern you are targeting including wrinkles, lines and eyes.

Lines and Wrinkles

NeoGen Plasma thermal energy immediately effects the skin by causing the tissue to contract and disrupts the skin tissue in the deeper layers and skin stimulates a natural wound repair response.

Sun Damage

NeoGen Plasma treatments stimulates skin resurfacing when the thermal energy hits the skin it triggers a natural skin healing response, this gradually peels away, leaving newly formed skin.

NeoGen Plasma Technology

Neogen plasma skin resurfacing is the most advanced and the gold standard in worldwide plasma skin resurfacing. This technique utilizes radiofrequency (RF) energy applied to nitrogen gas, to produce a powerful but gentle plasma beam that resurfaces the skin on contact, but also penetrates deeper to produce soft tissue coagulation and skin tightening. It’s versatility make it one of the most popular plasma resurfacing devices in the world, and a favorite of many Plastic Surgeons, Dermatologists and patients alike.

NeoGen Applications & Benefits

The plasma beam’s most popular application is for face and neck skin resurfacing and skin tightening. It is also very effective in the upper and lower eyelids, producing a scarless, non-surgical, no skin excision upper and lower eyelid lift!
Neogen treatments can be categorized as high energy, medium energy, and low energy treatments. The high energy (3.0 J- 4.0 J) can be utilized for deep skin resurfacing for lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick 1-3) as a one and done treatment, to permanently eliminate superficial and deep wrinkles, sun damage, uneven skin pigmentation, pre-cancerous skin lesions, benign skin lesions, surgical and acne scars. The medium energy (1.0 J-2.9 J) can be used for medium depth skin resurfacing for Fitzpatrick 3-4 patients, and can be used to resurface the neck, chest, arms, legs and even abdomen to remove stretch marks! The light energy (0.5 J-0.9J) can be used as lighter “spa” lunchtime plasma peels to resurface and tighten the skin, for all skin types, including (Fitzpatrick 4-6) or hispanic, Asian and African American skin! This is unlike all the other laser treatments in the market that are contraindicated for Fitzpatrick 4-6 patients due to the possibility of hypertrophic scarring or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
