What is it?

Plasma IQ is a procedure by Neauvia that is FDA-cleared for removal and destruction of skin lesions and coagulation of tissue.

• The provider delivers focused, controlled plasma energy to safely and effectively create micro-injuries on the skin, renewing and restoring it. As the device is brought close to the skin it ionizes nitrogen gas particles in the air to create a plasma arc that looks like a spark. This safely creates a controlled and focused thermal injury. These micro-injuries stimulate the natural healing process promoting long-term firming, tightening, and smoothing of the skin. The plasma arc causes sublimation of the epidermis of the skin, turning a solid into a gas. This results in immediate skin tightening and retraction in the treated area.
• This method of plasma sublimation is highly targeted and controlled and it does not allow heat transfer to the surrounding area.
• The procedure creates tiny brown carbon crusts or scabs that persist for about one week before falling off.

what can you expect?

The procedure works to diminish visible signs of aging, improving your skin's smoothness and texture, while encouraging a natural radiant glow. The treatment typically takes less than 30 minutes depending on the area being treated, and involves very little downtime, allowing you to return to your normal activities of daily life without interruption. Minor redness may be visible immediately after treatment.

Plasma IQ is typically used for:

• Reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and signs of aging (e.g. around eyes, mouth, neck, or other facial areas) improving skin laxity, texture, and firmness.
• Tightening sagging or loose skin, including delicate areas such as upper/lower eyelids, jawline, cheeks, neck, decolletage, and sometimes areas of the body.
• Removing or reducing unwanted skin lesions / imperfections, such as skin tags, benign lesions, blemishes, and small growths.
• Improving skin texture, tone, and overall smoothness — potentially reducing appearance of scars, stretch marks or other surface irregularities.

Pre-procedure preparation includes topical anesthetic for up to 60min or local anesthetic intradermal infiltration for small lesions.
