Treatment Overview
Body Plasma Therapy is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that uses plasma energy (ionized gas) to deliver heat and stimulate skin regeneration. Unlike lasers or RF, plasma can target both the surface and deeper layers of the skin, promoting collagen production, tissue repair, and elasticity.
In Korean dermatology clinics, Body Plasma Therapy is commonly used for abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, and knees, especially in patients with loose or crepey skin after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. It is also effective in improving skin texture, refining scars, and enhancing firmness.
Purpose & Benefits
- Skin Tightening: Stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin.
- Improved Elasticity: Restores skin resilience and structure.
- Texture Refinement: Smooths crepey, thin, or uneven skin.
- Regenerative Effect: Promotes healing and skin cell renewal.
- Non-Surgical Alternative: No cutting, minimal discomfort, and little downtime.
