A plasma lift, also called a plasma treatment, uses an innovative plasma device and an innovative technique to tighten, improve and lift your skin without cutting. This provides a refreshing and rejuvenating effect without plastic surgery or the use of injectables such as fillers or muscle relaxants.

How does the plasma device work?

Using charged plasma energy, small pulses are applied point-by-point to the skin via the plasma device. This causes the skin fibers to immediately contract. This allows for a lifting effect and the deeper layers of the skin are stimulated boost collagen and elastin production.

Because a layer-by-layer technique is used without making contact with the skin, this treatment is a excellent alternative to various non-invasive cosmetic procedures.
