Description of the procedure:

Plasma treatment for the removal of skin lesions is a non-invasive procedure that utilizes the energy of medical plasma, which is the fourth state of matter. It acts on the epidermal level without the need for cutting the skin.

Indications for the procedure:

Plasma treatment can be used to remove various skin lesions such as warts, moles, scars, vascular lesions, as well as pigmentation changes like freckles or age spots.

Procedure process:

The procedure is performed by a qualified specialist in aesthetic medicine. It involves precise exposure of the skin lesion to plasma energy using a special device. This energy causes the tissue to evaporate or sublime, resulting in the removal of the lesion.

Duration and anesthesia:

The duration of the procedure depends on the size and number of skin lesions being removed. Typically, it takes from several minutes to several tens of minutes. The procedure can be performed after the application of local anesthesia or numbing cream to minimize potential discomfort.

Recovery period:

After the procedure, some degree of redness, swelling, and scab formation at the treatment site can be expected. The scab naturally falls off after a few days, and the healing skin underneath usually requires additional moisturization and protection from the sun. The recovery period may vary depending on the individual skin response.

Contraindications:

There are certain contraindications to plasma treatment, such as active skin inflammations, pregnancy, breastfeeding, autoimmune diseases, or advanced-stage skin diseases. The consulting doctor will assess the patient’s individual situation and provide detailed information about the contraindications.

Effects and maintenance:

After the procedure, the patient can expect an improvement in skin appearance, reduction, or complete removal of the skin lesion. The effects are typically visible after a few weeks when the skin is fully healed. It is important to properly moisturize, use sunscreen, and maintain a healthy skincare routine to sustain the achieved results in the long term.

Consultation and safety:

It is always recommended to consult with a qualified specialist in aesthetic medicine before undergoing the procedure. It is important for the patient to express their expectations and provide a medical history of their skin to allow the doctor to assess whether the procedure is suitable and safe for them.

  1. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Plasma treatment is not recommended for pregnant women or those who are breastfeeding. In such cases, it is advisable to wait until after pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  2. Active skin infections: If there is an active skin infection in the area where plasma treatment is planned, the procedure should be postponed until the infection is completely healed.
  3. Diabetes and blood clotting disorders: Individuals with uncontrolled diabetes or blood clotting disorders may have a higher risk of complications or impaired healing after the procedure. In such cases, a doctor’s evaluation and individual approach are necessary.
  4. Current use of photosensitizing medications: Some medications can cause skin sensitivity to light, which may increase the risk of skin reactions after the procedure. Patients should inform the doctor about any medications they are taking before undergoing the procedure.
  5. Active skin diseases: Individuals with active inflammatory skin conditions such as acne, eczema, or psoriasis may have a higher risk of complications after the plasma treatment. It is recommended to have such skin conditions under control before considering the procedure.
  6. Tendency for keloidal scarring: Individuals who are prone to keloidal scarring, which refers to excessive skin healing, may have a higher risk of scarring after plasma treatment. The doctor should assess this tendency before performing the procedure.

Prior to undergoing plasma treatment, it is always recommended to consult with a qualified specialist in aesthetic medicine who will conduct a thorough evaluation of the patient’s health and take into account individual contraindications and the risk of complications.
