The plasma Tight™ Treatment should not be confused with human growth factors or a plasma blood treatment facial. Plasma with the Subnovii treatment refers to a stream of ionized gas. During treatment, the plasma pen converts energy into a stream of gas consisting of oxygen and nitrogen known as plasma. The plasma stream causes a micro wound in the skin. “This micro trauma” triggers a natural healing response by stimulating fibroblast activity deep within the dermis. Increased fibroblast activity stimulates cell regeneration and the production of collagen. Simultaneously, thermal energy from the plasma stream heats the skin’s connective tissue, causing it to contract (or tighten.)

The Plasma Tight™ treatment can be performed anywhere on the body. However the face and neck are the most popular treatment areas. The treatment is especially effective at targeting smaller treatment areas, such as the area between the eyes, the eyelids, or the area above the lip.

Perioral wrinkles (fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth including marionette lines)

Nasolabial folds (smile lines or laugh lines)

Wrinkles around and between the eyes (including brow lines and crow’s feet)

Forehead lines Heavy eyelids (eye bags or eye hoods on the lower and upper eyelid)

Sagging skin around the jawline (improves jowling)

Loose neck skin Decolletage (skin laxity and wrinkles above the chest)

Scarring (including stretch marks and acne scars)

Most patients will be a candidate for this procedure, however, some skin types may be at risk of post procedure pigmentation issues. It is important to schedule a consultation before booking.

The length of the procedure will depend on the area you are treating. It is important to schedule a consultation.

Results are both immediate and progressive. Many patients notice tighter skin within the first week after their treatment. Progressive results, such as improved smoothness and added firmness are typically seen 3-6 months after the treatment. Improvements can last for up to three years. However, individual experiences may vary.

Frequency varies by patient laxity. Some patient’s need only one treatment, while others may require multiple. A second treatment cannot be retreated prior to 16 weeks. After you complete your first treatment plan, we recommend maintenance visits every 2 years.

To ensure your comfort, treatments are performed using local anesthetic. You will not be put to sleep. The local anesthesia will numb the treatment area only.

Every patient must use Subnovii Aftercare Creme for several days to ensure optimal healing and results. It is important to keep the area dry to help with the healing process. (DO NOT use Bepanthenol/Bepanthen or anything similar – it is too fatty and prevents healing). It is important to use sun protection long after treatment. Provide each patient with after care instructions to follow.

Because the treatment creates an instant wound on the skin, small scabs will form that can take 5-10 days to fall off. The scabs are a natural and protective barrier to the magic taking place below.

Because the treatment area is immediately sealed, there is a very low risk of side effects but the skin may feel tight and itchy as the area heals. Once the scabs fall off, the skin beneath may look pink. This is renewed skin and any redness should progressively fade.
