Plasma BT

The Plasma BT machine produces its effects by creating Plasma.

So what is Plasma?

Plasma is the fourth state of matter following the states of solid, liquid, and gas, whereby the gaseous state has been ionised by the high temperature and high electricity in everyday environment.

The Effect of Plasma on the Human Skin

On the skin surface plasma kills germs and bacteria by breaking the bacterial molecular structure.

In the epidermis plasma dramatically increases the skin absorption rate by temporarily breaking the cell adhesion molecules. This allows us to deliver nutrients and other compounds through the skin barrier without the use of needles.

In the dermis plasma tightens the ageing skin by balancing the membrane potential; it also stimulates the generation of collagen and fibroblasts by stimulating the circulation of water molecules and increasing the heat and friction.

What is Plasma Skin Regeneration?
First and foremost, Plasma Skin Regeneration is not a laser, pulsed light, or radio frequency procedure. Plasma Skin Regeneration has a resurfacing and rejuvenating effect by harnessing thermal energy, which is generated by the sun and naturally present around us all the time. Because the thermal energy released into the skin during a Plasma treatment is uniformly absorbed, the treated area experiences incredible collagen and elastin regeneration. The new, healthy tissue eventually replaces the wrinkled, damaged tissue.

How does it work?
To understand how PSR works a basic understanding of skin structure is required. Briefly, skin consists of 3 layers, the epidermis (uppermost layer), dermis (mid-lay) and subcutis (lower fat layer). The epidermis contains pigment-producing cells called melanocytes, which are responsible for skin colouring. The dermis is made up of collagen and elastin fibres that provide skin with strength, toughness, elasticity and pliability.

As the body ages, the appearance and characteristics of the skin alter. The epidermis becomes thinner so blemishes become more visible, and collagen in the dermis is gradually lost which contributes to the formation of facial lines, sagging skin and wrinkles.

PSR technology uses energy delivered from plasma rather than light or radiofrequency, compared to other skin regeneration modalities (e.g. radiothermoplasty). Plasma pulse works by delivering millisecond pulses of nitrogen-based plasma to the skin via a handpiece. Within the handpiece an ultra-high-frequency (UHF) generator excites inert nitrogen gas, which is converted into activated ionised gas called plasma. This plasma-containing energy is directed through a quartz nozzle out of the tip of the handpiece and onto the skin. The energy delivered produces a heating action that works at the skin's surface to remove old photodamaged epidermal cells, and below the skin surface or dermis to promote collagen growth.

Plasma Shower

A separate handpiece is designed to remove bacteria and aid absorption within the skin, stimulating skin regeneration and boosting collagen for clearer, healthier and firmer skin. This treatment is ideal for:

• Acne treatment – sterilisation of acne bacteria
• Skin regeneration – tightening the skin
• Pigmentation treatment – promoting a clearer complexion, improving skin tone
• Inducing absorption of serums or solutions, chosen to suit the patient’s skin needs
• Wrinkle treatment – non-ablative lifting and regeneration
• 

• Plasma Surgical

  A needle is used to target the plasma very precisely at the area required. This treatment uses a process known as ‘sublimation’ to effectively treat a variety of skin problems as well as triggering collagen renewal. This treatment is ideal for:

• Non invasive eye contour surgery – improve eye-bags and eyelids with a result akin to surgery but involving NO surgical incisions. No scalpel, no general anaesthetic, no hospital stay. This treatment has revolutionised the way Aesthetic Physicians are able to rejuvenate the delicate eye area
• Wrinkle treatment – non-ablative lifting and regeneration
• Scar treatment
• Inflammation treatment
• Broken blood vessels/capillaries/spider veins
• Trouble-shooting acne cysts/spots, skin tags
•
