"Plasma IQ has a tip that converts power into an electrostatic impulse," she said. "When the needle comes close to the skin layer, a mixture of oxygen-nitrogen occurs, which emits a flash of plasma light. For a tenth of a second, a microchannel opens in the skin layer, the heat from the plasma flash causes the excess fluid to evaporate out of your skin. This results in an immediate tightening. The superficial wound that occurs stimulates the skin's own regeneration of fibroblasts, and this is an important part of the skin's healing process and collagen production. When the skin heals, the skin edge pulls together and creates additional tightening.

"The treatment is very kind to the skin with no damage on the surrounding tissue and therefore has a limited downtime. It simply eliminates the first signs of aging and restores a younger look."
