Skin tightening treatments are an effective way to restore firmness and smoothness to facial skin that has become lax as a result of aging. Treating loose skin in the eyelid area can be especially challenging, and typically requires a surgical procedure known as blepharoplasty.
Plasma IQ, developed by cosmetic care innovators Suneva Medical, is a breakthrough skin tightening procedure that uses controlled plasma heat to lift droopy eyelids—and treat several other signs of aging—without the need for surgery.
Located in Arden, NC, our esthetic care clinic, SkinOvation, is highly experienced with Plasma IQ. Our specialists have been administering this treatment since it first came to market, and have trained other cosmetic care providers to administer it. We are eager to put our expertise to work and bring you dramatic, long-lasting results. Schedule a consultation with us, and let us help you achieve a rejuvenated, refreshed appearance.
What Is Plasma IQ
Plasma IQ is a novel cosmetic procedure that generates focused bursts of plasma to eliminate signs of aging in delicate areas of facial skin. It is FDA-approved for the purpose of skin renewal and the treatment of benign skin lesions. Plasma IQ treatments are safe, effective and require only a brief period of downtime.
Most commonly, Plasma IQ is used to tighten skin in the eyelid area as a noninvasive alternative to blepharoplasty – however, it can also treat crow's feet, vertical lip lines, acne scars and age spots.
Who Is Plasma IQ For?
Plasma IQ is an ideal treatment for men and women aged 22 and up, who are looking for a quick, effective, nonsurgical solution for droopy eyelids, age spots, acne scars or fine lines in the eye or lip area. If you match this description, Plasma IQ will very likely provide you with effective, long-lasting results.
Plasma IQ is not suitable for treating heavy eye bags that are caused by excess fat rather than loose, aging skin. It is also not recommended for patients with very dark skin, as these patients face an especially high risk of developing hyperpigmentation as side effects.
Patients who are experiencing active outbreaks of inflammatory skin conditions such as rosacea or cold sores must wait until their symptoms have cleared before undergoing a Plasma IQ treatment. Pregnant and breastfeeding patients should avoid these treatments altogether, as should patients taking steroidal medications.
