Plasma Sublimation (Soft Surgery) In Pickering

Plasma sublimation can be utilised in a number of different cosmetic procedures, and via a number of different brands and designs of devices. Yet, it is the Plexr machine and method that was the first to pioneer this modality and has the most in-practice use by practitioners, having been a popular method in Italy for many years before becoming more widespread.

You should be aware that there may be other machines, with differing power settings or treatment methods used in cosmetic clinics, and asking questions about what is being used is important to ensure that you are getting the finest service and treatment possible.

As the pioneering system, some of the following content will focus on the Plexr device.

The Plexr™ (full name Plasma Exeresis), has three different wireless handheld devices, each offering a different degree of treatment. The tips that are used for each device are disposable and should not be used for more than one treatment.

The Plexr device is European CE approved as a medical device, but if your practitioner uses a different device, make sure it is also approved and certified, before going ahead with treatment.

Plasma sublimation is a soft surgery method that has a very wide range of rejuvenating treatments, and can improve a number of skin complaints. This soft surgery method can be used for:

• Eyelid rejuvenation, including reducing the appearance of baggy lower and upper eyelids, as well as removing fine lines.
• Treating a variety of skin imperfections, including pigmentation marks, moles, sun spots, warts, skin tags and fibromas.
• Tattoo removal.
• Face, brow and neck lifts.
• Improving the appearance of smoker’s lines around the mouth.
• Tightening sagging skin.
• Resolving outbreaks of active adult acne, as well as acne scarring.
• Improvement in the appearance of scarring, including post-surgery scars, and stretch marks.

There has been a number of studies that have shown that plasma sublimation has been effective in several different procedures.

For example, a study by Scarano et al in 2012 on the smoker’s lines of 15 patients showed that the finer wrinkles were completely eradicated, and deeper wrinkles greatly improved with plasma sublimation. This was using the Plexr.

As opposed to surgery, most people can return to work the same day, as there is very little downtime.

Following treatment, there will be some heat in the skin, like a sunburnt feeling with redness, and little carbon crusts where the tip has been fired to the skin. These scabs will heal and fall off within 5-7 days, leaving fresh pink skin underneath. There may also be swelling depending on the area of treatment, but that should only last a couple of days.

Plasma sublimation should only ever be carried out by a fully trained, registered and insured medical practitioner such as a doctor or nurse. In some cases, treatment can be supervised and delegated to a trained aesthetician

Plasma sublimation is a complete innovation in the world of aesthetic medicine, as it claims to offer the same results as an invasive surgical procedure, without a single cut to the skin being required. It also offers better, more instant, and longer lasting results than with other non-surgical modalities such as cryogenics and radiofrequency. This is because the plasma method of skin tightening maintains the integrity of the skin much better.

Plus, since no general anaesthetic is required, plasma sublimation has a much quicker recovery time than surgical procedures, whilst also being quicker and cheaper.

The tools used for plasma sublimation are extremely precise, and can be used on delicate areas (including the inner eyelid) with very little risk of injury. The tool can also be used on any area of the skin, and treat a wide range of complaints from wrinkles, to scars, to skin imperfections. This new innovation in soft surgery is considered to be the next big thing in the aesthetic industry.
