Frequently Asked Questions
What is Jet Plasma?
The design of the device combines Jet (J plasma), Cold Atmospheric Plasma and high voltage microcurrent. Our Profosma Jet Plasma pen penetrates 13,000 volts of plasma into the dermis and subcutaneous layers of the skin, remodeling the cellular structure from the inside out. This response allows us to tighten the skin without any burn or surface trauma. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is well documented in the medical community for its ability to destroy bacterial cells and increase tissue oxygenation. The Microcurrent stimulates the facial muscles, further assisting in lifting and sculpting the face.
What does a treatment feel like?
Once the skin is sanitized and prepped, the hand held device glides over the skin. The majority of clients describe a feeling of a light feathering sensation with an occasional warmth.
Does it hurt?
Jet Plasma uses cold atmospheric plasma that is administered in short bursts that create a focused stream of low-current cold plasma. This response allows us to treat the skin without any surface trauma. This means no pain, no numbing, no needles, and no down time. Jet Plasma was designed with client comfort in mind.
How do I determine the right treatment for me?
It’s important to work with a trusted provider who uses FDA-cleared devices for assured safety and reliability in your treatments. Choose a client experience that seamlessly combines comfort with outstanding results. Remember, while a Jet Plasma treatment is only part of the process, optimal results are amplified with the right at-home care regimen.
What kind of skin does it work on?
All skin colors can be treated including tanned skin and dark skin.
How long does it take?
The actual treatment time takes about 20-45 minutes depending on the area being treated.
When can I wear makeup?
Clients should avoid applying makeup for at least 12 hours. Following your treatment, the channels in the skin are open so it is important that nothing is applied to the skin other than what is applied in the clinic for 12 hours.
Recommended: No exercise, sauna, steam for 12 hours. (We want to keep the skin clean)
How do I get maximum results?
To ensure optimal results, start with the right device, the right treatment serum, and the right at-home system. These are available in clinic. Follow your provider’s recommended post-care instructions once you get home. By coupling these with avoidance of saunas, steam and 12 hours off from working out, you are on your way to maximizing the Jet Plasma Experience
How many treatments do I need?
Many providers find 8 treatments, spaced one week apart, provide the optimal results clients are looking for. While the results are often immediate for skin tone and texture, there is also improvement over the next 6-8 weeks as the collagen and elastin regenerate. Single and maintenance treatments are available depending on your desired outcome. More treatments may be available upon request. Consult with your provider for more personalized details.
How long do the results last?
Results from a Jet Plasma treatment range from three to five years. Longevity of the results is dependent on various factors such as: Age and health, sun exposure, lifestyle choices, skincare routines, etc. But like most skincare treatments, a series is recommended for best results.
