Plasma IQ, North Dakota
It is FDA approved and used in fibroblast therapy. Fibroblasts are the cells in connective tissue that produce collagen. Collagen is the scaffolding that helps the skin stay tight and supple.
The Plasma IQ uses the power of plasma in addition to the ionization of atmospheric gasses. These gasses and plasma produce a micro-electrical discharge or ARC. The ARC does not touch your skin but does cause a minor injury, similar to micro-needling, to the epidermal layer. At the same time, the Plasma IQ heats and disrupts the deeper dermal structure through thermal conditions. These are known as Fibroblasts.
It is an anti-aging treatment that targets the tension lines on your skin. The treatment triggers immediate tightening, remodeling, and lifting of your skin. The process stimulates the production of collagen.
The Plasma IQ helps with neck issues, drooping skin, moles, skin tags, crow’s feet lines, eyebrow ptosis, nasal labial and laugh lines, plus pigmentation
There is some downtime, and risks could include:
- Redness,
- Swelling begins the day after your treatment and peaks at day three,
- Scabbing begins on day three and falls off about day six.
Do note that healing times may be different for you. To ensure that you heal properly, avoid drinking alcohol, smoking, and picking at the scabs.
The Plasma IQ is great for most skin types, but those with darker skin tones may not be the best candidates.
