Plasmage
The plasma device removes excess skin, skin lesions and reduces lines and wrinkles with no cutting involved
Fractional Plasma is a non-surgical procedure which is an effective alternative to surgery for eyelid correction and even on the face and neck. It works by heating the skin and causing the collagen in the skin to contract. This results in cell renewal as well as collagen production leaving you with rejuvenated skin which has less lines and wrinkles.
The Fractional Plasma Procedure is a fantastic way to reduce excess or loose skin around the eyes, wrinkles on the neck, scars or puffy eyelids which offers less downtime in comparison to surgery and fantastic long-lasting results.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What areas can be treated?
The fractional plasma device removes excess skin, skin lesions and reduces lines and wrinkles by tissue sublimation. There is no cutting involved. It can be used for:
- Non-surgical blepharoplasty (eyelid lift)
- Brow lift
- Scarring including stretch marks, acne scars and post-surgical scars
- Pigmentation and sun spots
- Acne treatment
- Skin lesions such as fibromas, moles, verrucas, warts, keloids and xanthelasmas
How many Treatments will I need?
We recommend to have 2-3 treatments every 4 – 6 weeks. Although some patients had remarkable results after just one treatment.
Is it safe and does it hurt?
30 minutes before a fractional plasma procedure, we apply local anaesthetic cream to minimise any discomfort. In other areas, we may use local anaesthetic cream or an injection to provide numbness. The treatment may warm and there may be a tingling sensation afterwards.
Are there any side-effects?
Tiny black spots appear after a fractional plasma treatment. Swelling and redness is also common and often lasts several days. It can be quite significant around the eyes. There may also be a tingling or burning sensation.
A scab or crust will form. It is important to keep this clean, dry and protected. If the area becomes red, hot and tender or if there is pus present, please contact the clinic as this may indicate an infection. Scarring may occur following treatment.
What can I expect after treatment?
Tiny black spots appear where Dr Huss fires individual shots which flake off over the following days (up to 2 weeks). It is worse the following morning and often lasts for several days. Allow the spots or scabs to fall off naturally otherwise there is an increased risk of infection or scarring.
Swelling is very common especially around the eyes. The swelling may interfere with vision initially.
There maybe also be a burning sensation immediately after treatment. This usually settles 24 to 48 hours after treatment.
What aftercare is required for the Plasma Treatment?
Immediately after treatment there may be a burning sensation which should subside towards the end of the day. Cold compresses should be used to reduce swelling. You will have some crusting over the treatment area which must be left to naturally flake to avoid any infection or scarring.
When will I see the final results?
Skin folds and creases appear immediately better. The treated area will also continue to improve for up to 3 months after fractional plasma treatment.
The final result depends upon the general condition of the skin, severity of skin laxity, size of the lesion, any pre-existing skin or medical problems and the desired result.
As the treated skin is sublimated, the results often last years or permanently.
What else can I do?
When considering any treatment, you should consider our Dermalux LED light therapy which will promote healing and collagen production and stimulate blood flow.
Finally, we would recommend that patients invest in a cosmeceutical skincare range such as our ZO Skin Health by Dr Zein Obagi which will help to reduce lines and wrinkles in the skin, create a healthy skin barrier function and help combat pigmentation.
