What is Plasma Lift?
Plasma lift uses a device, sometimes called a plasma pen to rejuvenate the face, neck or body.
The plasma device emits an electrical arc between the device tip and the skin. The device does not touch the skin. The plasma arc ablates the skin, which gives an immediate tightening effect. These pinpoint areas form scabs that will drop off over the next 7 days, leaving the area tighter and smoother with reduction in wrinkling. Full effects can take up to 6 months to appear.
Skin tags and old age warts can also be treated and will drop off over 7 days.
Is the Plasma Lift Painless?
At Bossa Skinspa we use a topical numbing cream on the treated area before we perform a plasma lift to minimise the procedure discomfort.
What areas can be treated?
The plasma pen is very versatile and can be used in the following areas
The upper eyelid, where it is able to be lifted by about 2mm
Above the brows
The lower eyelid, where the skin will be tighter and wrinkles will be improved
Lip wrinkles
Neck sag
Neck wrinkles
Abdomen skin tightening
Upper and lower limbs
Jawline
Forehead lines
What are the risks?

Risks associated with topical numbing cream

The hyperpigmentation and scarring risks are minimised following the correct aftercare.
