Is Touch Skin Plasma safe and does it hurt?

Local Anaesthetic cream is applied before commencing treatment to minimise pain and this make the treatment virtually painless. The procedure can feel hot in certain places and there can be a tingling and burning sensation after treatment.

Are there any side effects?

After the treatment you may get Brown/Black Spots but more of a burn type. Swelling is extremely common often last a few days especially around the eye area. The area will normally be red and warm straight after the treatment and can be pretty tender after the treatment.

Scabbing or crusting can occur and it is important to keep this area clean dry and protected.

How does Touch Skin Plasma work?

The Touch Skin Plasma device works by gently touching the surface of the skin with the end of a special needle. The Needle never penetrates the skin! The procedure works by the non-ablative process of Sublimation. By this plasma is formed through Ionisation of atmospheric gas which stimulates the contraction, shortening and tightening of the skin fibres. This procedure results in reduction of skin surface.
