To understand WHY plasma regeneration is so powerful, we need to discuss why skin gets wrinkled and saggy as we age.

Our skin looks older as we age because of changes to elastin and collagen

As we age, the collagen and elastin that support our skin start to disappear.

For example,  according to Scientific American, 'after we hit 20, we start to lose about 1% of collagen per year in our skin'. (Scientific American, 2005)

Exposure to sunlight, pollution, cigarette smoke, and other toxins cause extra damage. 

Think of collagen as the scaffolding that keeps your skin firm. While elastin is the protein that tightens your skin to keep it from sagging. 😬

Once collagen and elastin start to disappear, your skin is less firm. So, it starts to sag and wrinkle. 😭

But don't lose hope!

To fix your skin, we need to boost your skin's collagen and elastin

Fortunately, that is exactly what doctors have seen plasma skin regeneration can help do.

Plasma skin regeneration has been clinically-proven to restore some of the lost collagen in your skin

We've referenced this study before, but in a study of 8 plasma skin regeneration patients, doctors stated:

 "[An evaluation] 3 months after treatment revealed a band of new collagen at the dermo-epidermal junction with less dense elastin in the upper dermis. The mean depth of new collagen was 72.3 μm."

Plasma regeneration also re-organizes the elastin in your skin.

The same 3 doctors state:

"In the pretreatment samples, the zone of collagen change showed a dense accumulation of elastin, but in the posttreatment samples, this zone contained less dense elastin with significant interdigitating

new collagen."

Both these doctor-reported changes can help reduce the appearance of older skin and make your skin look younger.

Finally, below are the 3 skin changes plasma skin treatments can help fix

#1: Plasma skin regeneration can help repair dynamic wrinkles, static wrinkles, and fine lines 

Wrinkles come in two types: static and dynamic. (American Academy of Facial Esthetics, Accessed December 2020)

As you get older, dynamic wrinkles usually appear first.

These are lines you don't see unless you move your face, for example, crow's feet around your eyes when you smile.

As we get even older, we start to get more static wrinkles.

Static wrinkles are there whether you're moving your face or not. They can be deep or superficial "fine lines".

Over time dynamic wrinkles can become static wrinkles because  you reinforce these lines every time you move your face.

Botox can't fix static wrinkles; it's strength is only dynamic wrinkles

Some people get Botox to freeze the muscles underneath their wrinkles.

By reducing muscle movement, you no longer see dynamic lines when you move your face. But, unfortunately, Botox has little effect on static wrinkles. 😢

Plasma skin regeneration doesn't freeze your muscles; instead it reduces your wrinkles by tightening your skin

The clinical study states:

"Previous research has shown that the PSR device using ablative energy settings...can induce significant skin tightening and textural improvement similar to single-pass carbon dioxide laser resurfacing."

Tightening the skin reduces dynamic wrinkles. This also helps your skin go longer before your dynamic wrinkles turn into static wrinkles.

If you already have static wrinkles, our plasma treatment can help you look younger by turning deep wrinkles into fine lines. 

The study mentioned earlier reported a 37% reduction in the depth of wrinkles.

#2: Loose skin

One of the first places people see signs of loose skin is along the jawline. For example, when you look down, the skin drops a little.

As your skin loses elastin, gravity makes your skin stretch out and become looser.

Loose skin is not sexy. 

Important: The most common cause of damage to collagen and elastin is exposure to ultraviolet light from the sun. Wearing sunscreen filters UV light so it doesn't damage your skin. This helps slow the appearance of loose skin and wrinkles. As many dermatologists point out, wearing sunscreen is the most important thing you can do to slow skin aging.

As mentioned earlier, plasma treatment tightens your skin and makes your skin less loose

The plasma treatment creates small surface burns on your skin that heal fast with no scabbing or permanent scarring.

Immediately after the appointment, you'll notice that you have less loose skin. That's because the surface burns cause the skin to shrink.

As the skin heals, it will loosen a bit, but it will still be tighter than before the treatment.

That's why we use this treatment to help remove excess skin from the eyelid as a less-invasive alternative to an eyelid lift.

#3: Sun-spots and brown spots 

As we get older, spots of dark pigmentation and sunspots are another unwanted change. These areas often develop from long-term sun exposure.

Ultraviolet light activates cells that produce the skin pigment melanin and causes them to produce too much of this dark pigment.

Plasma skin rejuvenation also helps reduce brown spots

In the same study, doctors found that plasma skin regeneration reduced brown spots in several of the patients.

Below are photos so that you can see for yourself:

There are 2 skin changes that plasma can't help fix

#1: Plasma doesn't help with dry skin 

As we get older, our skin becomes drier for three main reasons.

• Oil-producing glands called sebaceous glands produce less oil. In women, this change often starts after menopause.
• The outer barrier of the skin that protects against moisture loss develops defects. These defects make it easier to lose moisture.
• We lose the lipids or fats in the skin that block the loss of water.

Unfortunately, plasma skin regeneration has not been shown to help with dry skin.

#2: Plasma doesn't help with increased bruising 

As your skin ages, it's easier to bruise. There are two main reasons.

• The outer layer of the skin becomes thinner with age.
• The layer of fat underneath the skin also thins.

Thus, as you get older, there is less protection against traumas that lead to bruising.

Unfortunately, plasma doesn't help to thicken your skin or restore those protective fats. It only helps reduce wrinkles, sagging, and fine lines.

You just learned 3 beauty-related symptoms of aging-skin that plasma skin regeneration can help fix, and 2 it can't!

Plasma skin regeneraion is a proven treatment that can help you get rid of wrinkles and reduce saggy skin caused by age!

PSR can't help you with dry skin or bruising caused by aging.

But if you want help to reduce crows feet, get rid of excess skin in the eyelids, or shrink frown & laugh lines, plasma skin tightening can help!

It won't make you look 19 again, 😂😂 but it can help you look up to 10 years younger.
