Plasma Surgical/ Lesion Removal

Lesion Removal in Twickenham

Plasma treatment, also known as Plexr soft surgery or plasma surgery, is a in non-surgical aesthetic medicine. This minimally invasive procedure allows for delicate and specialised treatments, including lesion removal, skin and the of various benign skin concerns, the need for surgery.

How Does Plasma Technology Tighten Loose Skin?

Plasma treatment works by triggering a contraction of the skin fibres to bring about a tightening, lifting and remodelling effect. Plasma treatment is perfect for non surgical () as well as other and skin lesion .

Plasma treatment may be performed as a course of 3 sessions (or more if further improvement to severe laxity is needed).

Treatment works by forming plasma (the fourth state of matter) in the 1-2mm space between the tip of the device and the skin. Plasma forms a tiny arch which triggers a process called sublimation – where a solid turns straight into a gas – this in turn causes the fibres of the skin to shrink, contract and tighten. Tightening of the skin fibres contracts the surface area of the skin, creating an improvement in the appearance of drooping or sagging skin on the face, eyelids etc Due to the precise nature of Plasma, where heat is very accurately directed and doesn’t transfer to the surrounding tissues, Plasma is a safe and comfortable treatment.

Other skin tightening treatments include . However few treatments are suitable for the delicate skin of the eye lid.

Plasma surgical treatment is suitable for most people. We discuss your medical history at your new patient consultation and would ask you to postpone treatment if you were pregnant or breastfeeding.

Plasma surgical is considered a safe treatment as plasma causes immediate skin tightening through sublimation. There is no electric current or heat transferred.

Local anaesthetic is applied prior to treatment to minimise any discomfort with local anaesthetic injections in some areas. Treatment may feel warm in some places and you may experience a tingling sensation.

Side effects are minimal if any. Treatment site tenderness may occur. Your skin will have an immediate tightening effect and the plasma will show as little sterile dots on the skin. These heal as your skin tightens more.

It should not to be used if pregnant or breast feeding as we have no research to prove it is safe for your foetus or child. Care must be taken if diagnosed with neurological or bleeding disorders, currently suffering with a skin infection or allergy or taking particular medication. Your specialist will be able to advise you further.

Please discuss any current medication with the doctor, especially if you are taking aspirin on Ibuprofen. Medication may need to be stopped before treatment.

We recommend 7 days downtime after a plasma blepharoplasty.

After a plasma blepharoplasty treatment, the plasma leaves small dark marks on the skin where the plasma was focused. There will be rows of tiny dots on the skin which should be left as they form a sterile barrier and protect the underlying healing process. These marks become harder and will naturally heal and disappear over the initial 3-4 days. There may be some redness, swelling and bruising which will settle fully in 2 weeks.

At Thames Skin Clinic, plasma treatment can safely remove a wide range of common skin lesions. These include skin tags, moles, and verrucas or warts. The treatment works by using plasma energy to precisely sublimate (turn into gas) the unwanted tissue, leaving the surrounding skin largely unaffected.

The length of your skin lesion removal treatment depends on the size and number of lesions being treated, but most procedures are relatively quick. A local anaesthetic cream is applied beforehand to ensure comfort, and the treatment itself typically takes between 15 and 45 minutes. 

Post-treatment, any tiny dark brown spots will flake off over the following days, and any burns will take up to 2 weeks to heal. The treated area may be tender and may scab over during the healing process. It is important to allow any spots or scabs to fall off naturally, otherwise scarring or infection may occur. The results often last years or permanently.

Plasma treatment is designed to leave a minimal trace on the skin. As it works through a precise sublimation process without cutting the skin, the risk of scarring is low. Small dark spots or light scabbing may appear after treatment, but these usually heal within 1 to 2 weeks. It is important to allow the skin to heal naturally to minimise the risk of scarring or infection.

At Thames Skin clinic we precede all of our treatments with a full consultation. Your treatment will be carried out by Dr Anna Hemming, a highly experienced aesthetic doctor. Your medical history will be taken followed by an examination of your skin concerns. You can discuss whether Plasma treatment is suitable for you and address your expectations from treatment. When the treatment has been fully explained you will be required to sign a consent form and a photograph will be taken for your records.

Following cleansing, local anaesthetic is applied to your skin. This takes 40 minutes to work and minimises any discomfort meaning the treatment will be virtually painless. You will have access to our patient lounge while the local anaesthetic takes effect.

Plasma treatment will then commence. The device is held 1-2mm over your skin and the plasma energy is applied in short bursts to the treatment area. This allows the skin to contract while triggering your body’s unique healing process. The treatment is not painful, some patients experience a warm or hot feeling in places and a tingling sensation afterwards. each treatment session lasts 30 minutes with up to 3 sessions recommended until you see optimum results.

Following treatment, an antiseptic cream or lotion will be applied, normally Clinicept+ along with a specialist serum containing growth factors to aid the healing of your skin.

Treatment is a safe and effective way of tightening skin, reducing wrinkles and progressive static lines. Treatment is frequently used in the following areas.

Plasma treatment can be used many areas including

Treatment is offered as a 3 session course for non surgical blepharoplasty

Other skin tightening treatments can be offered as a course.

Further treatment may be needed for very loose skin.

Plasma can be used to remove skin tags, xanthelasma (fatty deposits near the eye), warts and Milia too.

Dr Hemming will be able to discuss the options most suitable for your skin concerns following examination.

Side effects are minimal if any. Treatment site tenderness may occur. Your skin will have an immediate tightening effect and the plasma will show as little sterile dots on the skin. These heal as your skin tightens more.

It should not to be used if pregnant or breast feeding as we have no research to prove it is safe for your foetus or child.

Care must be taken if diagnosed with neurological or bleeding disorders, currently suffering with a skin infection or allergy or taking particular medication. Your specialist will be able to advise you further.

Please discuss any current medication with the doctor, especially if you are taking aspirin on Ibuprofen. Medication may need to be stopped before treatment.

After treatment care

Following plasma treatment tiny dark brown crusts may appear on your skin in the areas the plasma has been focused. These areas must be kept clean. The markings will usually start to heal and will naturally flake off within a few days. They should be fully healed within 2 weeks.

If you have any concerns following treatment with Plasma please contact Thames Skin Clinic immediately.

Your final results depend on your skin laxity in the treatment area, your desired results, the general condition of your skin and healing capability, any pre-existing medical problems. Plasma treatment visibly contracts skin immediately after treatment. Due to the action of the plasma on the skin with sublimation, treatment results can last for years.

Plasma surgical treatments vary by the area of treatment given to achieve the best results. For your concern. There are a number of applications of use for this treatment.  We often get asked about the cost of treatment. At Thames Skin Clinic we pride ourselves on results rather than focus on the price of a treatment, it is more important that we get the correct quality of product rather than offer cut price treatments, products and services (especially when it comes to medical treatments). You will never see Thames Skin Clinic advertising services on social coupon sites such as Groupon as we believe they have a negative impact on our customer safety, results and satisfaction. We also wish to abide by the advertising regulator and work in a safe ethical manor.

Our prices reflect the skill, training and premier product choices we have made as well as the true reflection of the beautiful bespoke clinic surroundings.

To discuss plasma surgical treatments and for a detailed consultation regarding the best options for you treatment please call us today and book an initial consultation with our specialist practitioners. There is a charge for appointments with Dr Hemming.

For best results we strongly advise a 3 session course for non surgical blepharoplasty.
