Are age-related changes in the skin becoming more pronounced? Does the skin lose its elasticity and firmness, dries up, turns pale, do the first wrinkles appear? This is familiar to every woman after 30-35 years. But this is not a reason to despair, go under the surgeon's knife or make painful injections into the face.
Cold plasma rejuvenation is a unique, completely painless skin rejuvenation method that 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 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 formed under the influence of an electric current. In cold plasma, the percentage of charged particles is not more than 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 force of exposure to cold plasma is sufficient to achieve an excellent anti-aging effect, but not enough to damage 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 carried out using a device operating on the basis of plasma current. The device is a special pen with replaceable tips.
The essence of the procedure is that when the skin is heated to 40 ° C, the natural production of collagen and elastin, which contributes to the regeneration of skin cells, begins.
What cold plasma devices do cosmetologists use?
There are four cold plasma devices used in cosmetology:
- Mediselor BeautyMonster WHITE. This is a high-frequency instrument with a comfortable handle, made in South Korea. The model provides 8 levels of frequency and power, with which you can use 36 programs.
- Plasma Pen Maglev. This device is battery powered and has a low power, which is enough to lift eyelids, remove age spots, smooth wrinkles and also tighten 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, contact monopolar electrocoagulation and microcoagulation. Such a device is also used to smooth wrinkles, remove moles, papillomas, tattoos, treat acne, smooth scars and scars. The device operates at low, medium and high exposure intensity levels.
procedure
The entire rejuvenation procedure follows three simple steps:
- Education. The master examines your skin, talks about contraindications, cleanses the skin, applies anesthetic ointment.
- The procedure itself. The master sets the device to the required power, disinfects the handpiece, and then treats each area of the skin in turn. The exposure time is not more than 1 second. As a result, the skin is re-treated with an antiseptic agent, followed by applying a moisturizing or nourishing cream. Depending on the chosen treatment area, the session duration can vary between 30 minutes and 1 hour.
- Skin healing and restoration. At the end of the procedure, the master will tell you how to properly care for the skin. It is extremely important to strictly follow these recommendations!
For a full recovery, you need to do the following:
- treat the skin with an antiseptic and moisturizer for a week;
- avoid visiting the bath, sauna, swimming pool, solarium for a week;
- use as little sunscreen as possible to be in the sun;
- do not use scrubs, avoid peeling for 10 days;
- refuse decorative cosmetics for up to 10 days.
The number of sessions depends on the condition and characteristics of your skin, your age, and 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 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 the necessary checks.
If you went to an incompetent master, bruises, burns, skin swelling, pigmentation and allergic reactions can be expected as side effects.

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, perhaps, include the high cost of the procedure, the possibility of acute skin reactions (inflammation, redness, allergies), a long recovery period, especially for sensitive skin.
Prices for the procedure
The cost of cold plasma rejuvenation depends on the region, beauty salon, apparatus, experience of the master and other factors.
The larger the treated area, the higher the cost of the procedure. For example, rejuvenation of the entire face, neck and décolleté, and non-surgical blepharoplasty, or complete eye rejuvenation, will cost the most. Rejuvenating the forehead, examining the eyebrows or nasolabial folds will cost less.
