Plasma Skin Resurfacing in Bradenton, FL

Plasma resurfacing is the best technology available for full face skin resurfacing. This was invented around 2014, and uses radio frequency to split a gas such as helium or nitrogen into a cool plasma beam. The plasma effectively and safely eliminates many years of sun damage, fine lines, deep wrinkles,
deep acne scars, even pre-malignant skin lesions, achieving a skin “reset”. The results produced is that of dewy, even toned, younger looking skin. For lighter skin tones or Fitzpatrick types 1-3, Renuvion helium RF plasma is utilized. The procedure is done under light sedation and takes about an hour to
perform. There is mild discomfort during the healing process, and about a two week downtime away from social activities is recommended. For darker skin tones or Fitzpatrick 4-6, Neogen Nitrogen RF Plasma is utilized. This is done as an office procedure, no anesthesia required, with minimum recovery
and downtime. This type of procedures can be performed by itself, or at the same time as a face and necklift. Plasma resurfacing produces a “shrink wrap” effect to the skin and tissue, producing a rejuvenating and tightening effect not seen before with traditional laser resurfacing. Finally, exosomes are applied topically to the skin to enhance healing and produce further tissue and skin regeneration. Plasma resurfacing can be performed safely and effective on the face, neck, chest, arms, abdomen, thighs, and the back of the hands for full skin rejuvenation.
