What is plasma treatment
by Louise Walsh International
While often described as the fourth state of matter, plasma is actually a gas. Unlike ordinary neutral gases though, plasma is made up of positively charged and ionized molecules which are able to roam freely and fast. Plasma gas is able to do things that ordinary gases simply cannot do, such as conduct electricity, create magnetic fields and enable electrostatic interactions. Plasma gases exhibit coherent, collective qualities that neutral gases don't and this makes them dynamic yet controllable. We see plasma in action all the time- plasma televisions and neon signs are both good examples. In the case of plasma TV's, a gas such as argon is injected between two glass panels and an electrical current is passed through the gas enabling it to glow and emit specific colors. The science behind plasma goes back well over a century to people like Tesla, so we didn't invent it. Nor were we the first one to commercialize it. We have however miniaturized and perfected it to create an innovative plasma treatment for the face and body.
Through our Plasma Pen, the nitrogen plasma energy we create transfers rapidly to the skins epidermal layer whilst simultaneously heating and disrupting the deeper dermal structure via thermal conduction. We can sustain our nitrogen plasma discharge for as long as we like thanks both to our continuous AC power source and our devices fingertip, on-demand control. Multiple failsafes within the device insure that if we touch the skin or are too far away from it, then the creation and delivery of plasma immediately ceases.
In simple terms;
...our Plasma Pen handpick converts electrical energy into an electrostatic energy to create artificial nitrogen plasma. Inside our Plasma Pen device, an electrical discharge is made by introducing voltage between two electrodes separated by a "dielectric barrier". During the plasma treatment, the charge collects on the surface of the barrier; a gaseous flash/arch of ionized plasma gas is safely released from about 1mm above the skin. Ultimately, our device is heating and subjecting neutral atmospheric gases (in our case oxygen and nitrogen) to electromagnetism to create an electrically conductive cloud of ionized gas. We transmit that energized plasma in its gaseous form (nitrogen plasma), in a non-contact way, to the skin's surface from above.
What does our device actually do?
The nitrogen plasma energy we create through Plasma Pen transfers rapidly to the skin's epidermal layer whilst, simultaneously, heating and disrupting the deeper dermal structure via thermal conduction. In doing so, we intentionally create a dual zone of micro trauma which comprises a superficial zone of outer thermal micro-damage to the epidermis and then, simultaneously, a deeper zone of inner thermal modification within the dermis- especially to the fibroblasts. The's why we often call the treatment "fibroblasting".
What Are Fibroblast?
Fibroblasts are the most common cells of connective tissue in the body and they are the only cells that can make Type III collagen. Type III collagen synthesizes alongside tougher Type I collagen over a period of about 3 months. Type I and Type III collagen is what helps provide the strength in our skin's dense connective tissues and it is famed for minimizing fine lines, wrinkles and micro-furrows, as well as improving the elasticity, suppleness and hydration our skin.
Most fibroblasts are inactive and are actually called fibrocytes. Fibrocytes will rarely undergo cell division and will not produce collagen unless the are specifically re-activated by a wound healing process or inflammatory response.
We do precisely that with Plasma Pen.
FITZPATRICK SCALE
The Fitzpatrick Skin Type Scale is a skin classification system developed
by Thomas Fitzpatrick, MC, of Harvard Medial School. Only skin types I, II and III can safely be treated with Plasma Pen. Anything higher and you are at high risk for hyperpigmentation or hypo pigmentation.
Skin Types range from the very fair (Type I) to the very dark (Type VI).
