PlasmaMD is one of the latest advancements in aesthetics technology. This handheld device looks like a pen, but it’s actually a state-of-the-art tool that uses plasma, a naturally occurring ionized gas, to combat wrinkles and tighten sagging skin on the face and body.
What is PlasmaMD used for?
PlasmaMD is an excellent alternative to surgery for targeting delicate, difficult areas such as fine lines around the eyes and lips. Many of today’s physicians are using PlasmaMD to target the eye area, including the upper eyelids, lower eyelids and crow’s feet. Some physicians are using PlasmaMD as a non-surgical alternative to traditional blepharoplasty, performing what they refer to as “non-surgical eyelid lifts.”
PlasmaMD also treats acne scarring, stretch marks, skin tags and seborrheic keratoses. It’s being used to improve skin laxity, texture, tone and acne scars.
How exactly does PlasmaMD work?
PlasmaMD treatment is highly controlled and targeted to a specific treatment area. This hand-held, pen-like device is held above the skin’s surface during treatment, from up to one millimeter away. PlasmaMD never comes into contact with the skin. Rather, it works by emitting plasma energy, which reacts with the naturally occurring nitrogen molecules in the air. The reaction between the plasma energy and the nitrogen molecules creates an energetic burst in the shape of an arc, creating a micro-injury in the top layer of skin as well as heating up the dermis, where it causes collagen fibers to contract.
When will I see the benefits of PlasmaMD treatment?
PlasmaMD creates controlled micro-injuries to the skin, which results in some immediate firming. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural wound healing response, triggering the growth of new collagen and elastin in the weeks and months following treatment. Treated skin will continue to gradually improve over three to six months.
What are the side effects of PlasmaMD?
PlasmaMD has low risk of side effects and minimal downtime when compared to more invasive surgical options. The device offers multiple energy settings, allowing certified and licensed practitioners the ability to customize the treatment for the patient’s skin condition and needs.
This state-of-the-art plasma energy treatment creates tiny, superficial brown carbon crusts in the skin, which typically last three to five days before falling off naturally. These controlled microinjuries promote a long-term firming, tightening and smoothing through the skin’s own natural healing response.
How long are PlasmaMD treatments?
Treatments can be performed in as little as 30-60 minutes depending on treatment area.
Helps to maintain healthy skin through the seasonal changes, as well as regulate skin issues such as acne, acne rosacea, dullness, and clogged pores.
A crystal free approach that furthers the exfoliation process and promotes skin cell turnover. Excellent for anti aging, congested skin with blackheads, minor scarring, Keratosis Polaris(small bumps on the back of the arms), and extremely dry skin.
Light to medium depth peels that target specific needs. Conditions range from Melasma and hyper pigmentation, acne and light acne scaring, uneven skin texture and fine lines. Peels can also keep skin conditions in balance. Very mild to moderate peeling can occur depending on which type of peel is used and can be determined with a consultation.
Whether it is to define your brows or have facial hair growing where it shouldn’t, appointments can be added to a facial or set up individually.
Defines brows and lashes that are too light or have grey in them. This works great if you have allergies to mascara or if your are going to the beach and don’t want to worry about raccoon eyes. Lashes can also be tinted a week before Permanent makeup eyeliner so you don’t need to worry about wearing mascara afterwards. Brows can be tinted to match hair color. Color generally lasts 4-6 weeks. Appointments can be added to facial or a microdermabrasion appointment or setup individually.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL)
The Spectrum’s IPL can be used for a myriad of different treatments including hair reduction, acne reduction and removal of vascular and pigmented lesions. The Spectrum’s IPL includes 4 broad band filters. Each filter provides non-coherent energy that targets specific chromophores. The treatments are non-ablative and gentle by nature. The Spectrum IPL performance provides efficacy and versatility leaving patients with healthy and more youthful skin.
Laser Hair Removal
Unwanted body hair is a problem that everyone experiences. This is why hair removal has become the #1 non-invasive aesthetic procedure. The Spectrum uses an 810nm diode laser to remove the permanently reduce unwanted body hair. The pulse repetition rate can be adjusted up to 10-pulse per second allowing both small and large areas to be treated fast and effectively. The 810nm-diode can be used on all skin types.
Vascular Reduction
Why Suffer needlessly with unsightly veins on the face and legs? The Spectrum’s long pulsed nd:Yag laser will diminish the appearance of existing veins. The 1064nm laser light is delivered through the skin and into the vein. The energy is absorbed and the vein walls collapse and seal shut. Eliminating veins with the Spectrum 1064nm laser is quick and effective for most individuals. Treatments work best on smaller veins (3mm or less).
A consultation can be made to go over all the details for treatments and to determine how many treatments are needed for each individual’s needs.

Tattoo Removal Q-Switched
The total number of Americans that have at least one tattoo exceeds 45 million. For multiple reasons, body art may become undesirable. A Q-switched laser is the most frequently used laser for tattoo removal. The laser “fractures” the pigment into particles small enough for the ink to be removed using the body’s natural filtering system. The Spectrum’s Q-switched 1064nm/532nm laser can effectively remove an array of tattoo ink colors with minimal risk. (Multiple treatments maybe required)
