PLASMA LIFT
With the power of Plasma, there’s no need for surgery
A proven technology, Plasma Lift is the perfect choice to treat ageing skin, a revolutionary system that improves photo damaged skin, bringing fresher, firmer, more youthful looking skin, improving fine lines and sun damage. It’s the only treatment that has a proven record of generating new skin – with results and improvements for up to a year after the initial treatment.
A proven alternative to invasive surgical techniques, Plasma Lift offers a quick and easy extremely effective alternative. Plasma Lift is an alternative for the patient looking at little downtime, highly tolerable procedures while obtaining clinical improvement. Plasma Lift works at and below the surface of the skin, to modify the skin’s architecture generating new collagen and elastin fibres, giving clinical improvements in skin tone, texture and laxity which are seen immediately and continue long term.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Plasma Lift work?
How many treatments are needed?
The number of treatments required will vary according to the area being treated, skin’s laxity, the desired degree of correction and the individual’s response to the treatment. Most clients see results instantly and this continues to improve over the course of the following 8 weeks. Further treatments can be carried out to get better results, although it is uncommon to require more than four treatments. Appointments must be spaced out by 8 weeks.
What can Plasma Lift be used for?
How long will the results last for?
As Plasma Lift is more than a simple tightening treatment (skin volume is actually reduced), the effects should last as long as they would with invasive surgery. Like all surgical and cosmetic procedures, the effects are not entirely permanent as it does not stop any further ageing, but the positive results should last years depending on the area treated. The positive effects of treatment will be noticeable immediately after the first treatment, but the final results will be seen after 8 weeks. For some, an additional treatment may be required after 8 weeks for maximum results. Additionally, there are lifestyle factors that can prevent the result from lasting as long as they can, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and prolonged sun exposure.
What are the side effects?

If you have experienced Herpes Simplex Virus (Cold sores/Fever blisters) in the past you must see your Medical Doctor and obtain a prescription for Valtrex and begin taking it 3 days before treatment and for 4 days following treatment. (This applies for treatments surrounding the lip area only) -

What are the benefits?
Skin tightening and texture improvements are the biggest benefits. Most people will respond effectively after one session and will be able to see the effect immediately. Those with deeper wrinkles may benefit from further treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart. You can expect to look younger and fresher, while over time your skin will respond by naturally building more collagen and increasing elastin production.

What should I do and not do before my treatment?
-

Avoid any other type of procedures on the same area which you intend to have treated with Plasma Lift, such as laser therapy, chemical peels, Botox, fillers, as this may prevent your treatment being performed by your technician at the time you want it.

-
You may experience a “stinging” sensation in the treated area(s) immediately after treatment. This is normal and it generally only lasts for about an hour.
-
If the treated area is swollen, you may apply ice packs covered with a clean cloth. Do NOT apply ice directly onto the skin, as this can cause damage to the tissue. Avoid taking anti-inflammatory medications like aspirin, ibuprofen or steroids if possible.
-
If you are receiving a Plasma Lift treatment anywhere on your face or neck, we recommend you sleep on your back with your head elevated to reduce swelling.
-
DO NOT cleanse the treated area until the following day
-
Do NOT exercise 48 hours after treatment or expose yourself to any heat, steam or sweat because this can intensify the inflammation that’s already present.
-
Your therapist will provide you with after care products and instructions. You must follow the provided aftercare protocol to expedite the healing process and avoid complications.
-
The area that has been treated must NOT be covered with occlusive dressing or any type of sunblock, make-up, mascara, creams or any other products until the area has fully healed. Many ingredients in skin care products and cosmetics can irritate skin and cause allergic reactions. Ultimately this will slow you’re your healing process and possibly impede desired results
-
It is highly unlikely you will ever get an infection from a Plasma Lift treatment, as the wound we cause is not open. However, the first 12 hours post-treatment is vital in protecting you from any potential infection, so please avoid any activities where you could expose your-self to contaminants. Keeping hands off of anything that comes in contact with the treatment area
-
You may return to work the following day. However, you will not look your absolute best during the initial healing process (approximately 7 days)
-
Expect redness, swelling and inflammation for the first 1 to 5 days post-treatment. This is normal but will usually be of a very minor nature.
-
It is normal for the area that has been treated to be red/pink, swollen and feel tight and dry. Occasional weeping is normal and will settle
-
Tiny crusts will quickly form on the treated area. These may be visible for up to about a week.
-
Do NOT pick crusts off as this will de-lay the healing process and could cause hyperpigmentation and scarring
-
The area(s) treated may be cleansed daily with room temperature water and your fingers. Avoid using washcloths or any other washing devices. You are only removing excess oil and do not need to thoroughly cleanse the treated skin. Do NOT be tempted to rub, brush or exfoliate the area in any way to aid in the removal of the crusts. Pat dry with a clean tissue
-
Do NOT stand with your face under a hot shower for the first 3-4 days. This could increase swelling. Try to avoid shower gels or hair products running on to your face as this could cause irritation and inflammation. Rinse thoroughly with tepid water if products do come into contact with the area(s) treated and gently pat dry
-
Avoid swimming or chlorinated water as it can increase irritation.
-
Keep scabs/crusts moist by applying provided aftercare three times a day – but only in small amounts, do not soak the area.
-
Men should avoid shaving the treated area until it is fully healed (around 7 days).
-
If you have had treatment around your eyes, you should avoid wearing contact lenses for 72 hours after your treatment.
-
Once the scabs have fallen off (approximately 7 days), your skin may be a little pink. You may begin to apply your normal foundation/make-up/sunblock but avoid using skincare products containing glycolic/salicylic/retinoic/AHA/scrubs/Clarisonic or any other active exfoliating ingredients/devices for at least 21 days, as this will cause irritation. ABSOLUTELY NO MAKEUP UNTIL SCABS HAVE FALLEN OFF.
-
Avoid sun exposure. Once the scabs have fallen off, you must wear a physical sunblock (zinc & titanium) and a hat while your skin is in the healing stages (pink in colour) and you should continue to do so for at least the next 12 weeks to avoid hyperpigmentation.
-
Do NOT sunbath/sun tanning beds for 10–12-week post procedure.
-
Do NOT have any other facial treatments in the same treatment area while your skin is healing (12 weeks).
-
Do NOT wax treatment area for at least 21 days, if not longer. If you are receiving Plasma Pen treatment anywhere around the eyes, I would wait the full 12 weeks. It will be ok to tweeze or thread any unwanted hairs after scabs have fallen off the area.
-
Avoid smoking and alcohol.
-
Eat a whole food diet and avoid excess sugar to maximize results.
-
On top of the immediate rejuvenation, lifting and tightening effects, you will likely experience from Plasma Lift, it takes 8 to 12 weeks for the full effects of your treatment to be seen.
-
If additional treatments are required, it will be necessary to wait until the skin completely heals (12 weeks). If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Vicki Hexter, v.hexter@beautyavenue.co.uk or call on 07477852791.
