Cold Plasma
Cold Plasma Therapy is an innovative skincare solution that utilizes low-temperature (non-thermal) plasma to promote skin health and rejuvenation. It is one of the gentlest ways to treat problematic skin and is especially effective for teenage and adult acne. Treatments work by harnessing the power of cold plasma to break down the molecular structure of bacteria, fungi, and inflammatory cells within the skin, providing overall sterilization to the targeted area. This purification process helps to balance sebum production while soothing and suppressing acne outbreaks.
Along with fighting pore clogging bacteria, cold plasma is known to provide relief from uncomfortable skin conditions such as seborrhea, eczema, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and rosacea. It can also accelerate wound healing, improve fine lines and wrinkles, and help reduce pigmentation associated with photo-aging. Plasma treatments may be used alone or in tandem with additional therapeutic solutions as it improves the absorption of active substances on the skin by almost 24%. Whether you are looking to invigorate your skin, treat a specific dermatologic condition, or simply maintain a healthy glow, cold plasma is an excellent treatment choice.

Cold Plasma is suitable for everyone EXCEPT those with the following conditions:
• Are pregnant
• Patients with inflammatory skin conditions
• Have a pacemaker
• Epilepsy
• Cancer
• Botox/Filler: must wait 2 weeks after injection to receive Jet Plasma. Botox or filler can be done 24 hours after Jet Plasma.
Some people with sensitive skin may experience temporary warming or redness in the area due to heat transfer. Jet Plasma can be used on all skin types and Fitzpatrick levels.
-
Clients can see immediate improvement with one treatment. After a single treatment the skin will continue to improve as high levels of collagen regenerate over the next 6-8 weeks and final results are seen around 8-12 weeks.
Cold Plasma can be used anywhere on the face and body. For best results a series of at least 3 treatments are recommended spaced 48 hours to one week apart initially, and monthly maintenance once desired results are achieved.
-
Results last 2-5 years with proper skincare and sunscreen, but of course longevity of results like with anything, depends on age, health, lifestyle factors, sun exposure, etc.
-
Since the Cold Plasma helps to open up the channels of the skin and allows skincare products to penetrate deeper, you'll want to avoid any makeup for 12 hours after your treatment. Avoid exercise, sauna and steam for 12 hours.
Dr. Platon Cold Plasma
At Beauty Unfiltered, we use Dr. Platon Cold Plasma, a professional aesthetic device, employing breakthrough plasma shower technology to apply cold atmospheric plasma to the skin surface. Plasma Shower technology transforms the main gases in the air between the device tip and the patient’s skin – mainly Oxygen and Nitrogen – to cold plasma. The Cold Plasma penetrates to deep levels in the skin, stimulating the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
The Dr Platon device has a powerful Cold Plasma output, meaning you get superior benefits in a reduced treatment time. Unlike traditional skin corrective treatments that can often be quite aggressive, our non-thermal plasma is safe to the touch and non-ablative, as a result there is no pain and no downtime for patients. This service is included with ALL Beauty Unfiltered facials.
Benefits of Cold Plasma Treatments
OILY & ACNE PRONE SKIN
For acne and oily skin, plasma is extremely effective in destroying acne bacteria, quickly reducing skin inflammation, soothing the skin, and preventing acne recurrence by balancing sebum production. It is one of the gentlest ways to treat acne (including teenage acne) and is suitable from 12 years and over (with parental consent).
PROBLEMATIC & IRRITATED SKIN
The Jet Plasma suppresses the production of melanin. Melanin is the pigment in our skin that gives us color. Too much melanin can leave hyperpigmentation and dark spots left over from acne or post inflammatory hyperpigmentation from sun damage and other factors.
STERILIZATION
The electrical voltage between the freely charged particles in plasma (electrons and ions) causes the cell membranes to disintegrate, accelerates the self-destruction mechanism of skin cells, and causes cellular division. The damage caused to DNA actually creates a “disinfection” process – the destruction of bacteria and fungi and the self-destruction of inflammatory cells and other damaged cells. This process also raises the level of free intracellular oxygen.
SKIN REGENERATION & ANTI-AGEING
Cold plasma therapy triggers the division of the basal cells to stimulate epidermal regeneration, boosts production of new collagen, stimulates the formation of new blood vessels and assist in healing wounds. It also strengthens skin immunity and the epidermal barrier and improves intercellular communication.
DEPIGMENTING
The atomic oxygen in atmospheric plasma oxygenates the melanin in the epidermis and is therefore effective in lightening epidermal brown spots (whether hormonal pigmentation, age spots, sun damage etc). This process is especially effective for hyperpigmentation under which an inflammatory process takes place. By reducing the inflammation, the plasma also reduces the level of hemoglobin around the spot, thus reduces blemish.
BOOSTS ABSORPTION
Research shows that plasma increases epidermal permeability in the first 12 hours after treatment by ~24%. Therefore, many facials for all skin types can incorporate a Dr Platon plasma treatment to boost results and improve absorption of active ingredients.
