Age-related changes in the skin are becoming more noticeable? Does the skin lose elasticity and firmness, it becomes dry, pale, the first wrinkles appear? This is known to every woman after 30-35 years. But that is not a reason for despair, going under the surgeon's knife or injecting painful injections in the face.
Cold plasma rejuvenation is a unique, completely painless method of skin regeneration, which allows you to get rid of the signs of aging, wrinkles, age spots, veins and other skin problems.
Let's see what cold plasma is, how it works and what result 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 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 power of exposure to cold plasma is enough to get an excellent anti-aging effect, but it is 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 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 naturally begin to produce collagen and elastin, which contribute to the regeneration of skin cells.
Which cold plasma appliances do cosmetologists use?
There are four cold plasma devices used in cosmetology:
- Mediselor BeautyMonster WHITE. This is a high-frequency device with a comfortable handle, made in South Korea. The model provides 8 levels of frequency and power, combining which you can use 36 programs.

- Another device that includes cold plasma, contact monopolar electrocoagulation and microcoagulation. Such a device is also used for smoothing wrinkles, removing moles, papillomas, tattoos, treating acne, correcting scars and scars. The device operates at low, medium and high exposure intensities.
Procedure
The whole rejuvenation process consists of 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 strength, disinfects the handpiece, and then treats each area of skin successively. Exposure time is no longer than 1 second. In conclusion, the skin is again treated with an antiseptic, followed by the application of a moisturizing or nourishing cream. Depending on the chosen area of treatment, the duration of the session can vary from 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Healing and skin rejuvenation. At the end of the procedure, the master will tell you how to properly care for your skin. These recommendations are extremely important for strict adherence!

- use sunscreen, as little as possible to expose yourself to the sun;
- do not use peels, refrain from peels for 10 days;
- refuse decorative cosmetics for up to 10 days.
The number of sessions depends on the condition and characteristics of your skin, age, number of problem areas. Sessions can be from 1 (for young skin with barely noticeable age-related changes) to 7-10 (for deep wrinkles, scars, acne, etc. ). Procedures are performed no more than once a month. The maximum effect of the procedure is recorded 4 months after the end of the course.
