Plasma treatment works by triggering a contraction of the skin fibres to bring about a tightening, lifting and remodelling effect. Plasma treatment is perfect for delicate non surgical eye lid tightening surgery (blepharoplasty) as well as other skin tightening treatments.
The collagen stimulation and textural improvement seen following Radiofrequency prove it is an effective skin tightening treatment.
We will fully discuss aftercare with you, and make sure all of your questions have been answered. Many of us prefer to have things written down as a reminder, so you will also receive a copy of the advice to take away with you. Some examples include:
Post treatment it is best to keep the treated area dry for 24-48 hours
Immediately after the treatment the skin may feel hot or a little stingy, with swelling which will begin to manifest itself.
An ice cube in a rubber glove, covered with a dry cloth or tissue will ease the sensation
Sleeping whilst elevated should help with any access swelling, this will alleviate throughout the day once you are upright
Swelling could last for 2-5 days on average
There may be a small crust which may last from 4-8 days, DO NOT exfoliate or pick these crusts, let them come off naturally. New ‘baby pink skin’ will appear under where the crusts were.
Slight redness can last up to 8 days in some cases
If the treated area gets wet in the first 24-48 hours ‘pat dry’ with a clean towel
Do not use a sauna or steam room until the crusts have come off naturally
Do not undertake rigorous sweaty exercise for 24-48 hours after the treatment
Please take regular daily photographs of your progress/healing
Please use a mineral based makeup after 48 hours if you need to cover the crusts
Please consult your practitioner regarding your moisturiser.
Your first step is a no-obligation Visia consultation at Skintique Clinic with one of our skin specialists.
Meeting your practitioner for your one-to-one consultation.
This will include:
• A full assessment your skin, concerns and desired results.
• Details about the procedure, likely outcomes and costs. After taking a full medical history and reviewing your Visia Gen8 images your practitioner will discuss the range of treatments available at Skintique Clinic for your skin concerns. Your practitioner will design a bespoke plan with you based on your expectations. You will also be provided with detailed information on the procedures, the likely outcomes and the approximate timescales. Should you then wish to go ahead with the treatments a future appointment will be made.
On arrival for your treatment, you will be asked to check over your medical history form to confirm that nothing has changed. You will be then asked to complete a treatment consent form.
The treatment can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour or more depending on the treatment.
Many of our treatments are progressive and require a course of treatment for the optimal result. Some conditions will need maintenance treatments to maintain the final result. Your practitioner will indicate the approximate number of treatments with you at the start. But as everyone is different this can only be used as an approximate guide and not as a guarantee.
The skin cycle on a health individual who has regular treatments is approximately 6 weeks.
Our team will arrange your next appointment before you leave the clinic.
The total treatment cost will depend on the size of the area being treated and how many sessions are required. Prices range from £350.
However, on average, patients usually spend £950 per treatment. The full price breakdown will be explained to you during your consultation along with information on how you can pay by instalments interest free.
