About Plasma IQ Treatment

PLASMA IQ is a medical procedure which involves the application of plasma to sublimate skin without transferring heat to the surrounding tissue. Sublimation is the process of turning a substance from solid straight into a gas. There is no electric current flowing.

During the procedure, the plasma causes some heating of the skin and this may cause some pain or a burning or tingling sensation. Local anaesthic cream or an injection may be used to minimise any discomfort.

Following treatment the areas may be tender or there may be a residual burning or tingling sensation that may last a few hours.

Treatment Aftercare

Immediately after treatment, there may be a burning sensation. This will usually resolve during the remainder of the day although if it is particularly uncomfortable or persists for a longer period, contact your treating practitioner for further advice.

Following treatment, it is normal to have some swelling. This can be significant around the eyes and can last for several days and may lead to interference with vision in the initial period.

Cold compresses may be applied to reduce the swelling.
If the swelling is more severe an anti-inflammatory medication and/or anti-histamine may help alleviate the swelling.
Crusting will usually develop over the treated area. it is essential to not pick at this crusting as this may lead to infection or scarring.
it is essential to keep the treatment area clean, dry and protected with a broad spectrum sunscreen. Do not use alcohol-based cleansers.
Do not apply a plaster or an occlusive dressing over the area.

Often more then one treatment is needed for optimum results. There should be at least six weeks before any further Plasma IQ in the same area.
