NeoGen PSR

NeoGen PRS or Plasma Skin Regeneration is an FDA cleared, nonsurgical skin rejuvenation treatment that uses plasma technology for skin tightening, regeneration, and resurfacing. The treatment improves elasticity to help firm, tone, and smooth skin on the face, neck, and body.

Why NeoGen Plasma Resurfacing?

NeoGen Plasma Resurfacing is a cutting-edge rejuvenation treatment new to the US and About Faces Cosmetic Surgery and Med Spa is one of the first cosmetic practices to bring this innovative resurfacing technology to Tucson, Arizona. NeoGen Plasma rejuvenates the skin using plasma energy derived from excited nitrogen gas. The plasma is precisely delivered at varying depths to encourage skin tightening, resurfacing, and regeneration. NeoGen plasma has been shown to have long-lasting effects with continued improvement up to two years post treatment. Treatments settings are completely customizable based on your concerns and goals, skin tone, and downtime consideration.

  • Fine lines

  • Skin laxity 

  • Pigmentation, age spots, and sun damage 

  • Scarring on face and body

  • Deep wrinkles

  • Loose skin on the upper and lower eyelids 

  • Large pores

  • Active acne and acne scars

Unique Skin Tightening Technology

NeoGen converts nitrogen gas into plasma energy which penetrates the superficial and deeper levels of the dermis. This controlled damage to the dermis encourages your body’s natural healing response, triggering healthy new collagen and elastin growth for immediate skin tightening and firmer skin over time. Plasma is produced inside the NeoGen handpiece through the combination of nitrogen gas and ultra-high radiofrequency to deliver heat deep into the dermis and treat the entire skin structure for optimal results.

  • While Dr. Lo typically recommends a more aggressive NeoGen resurfacing with his facelift procedures, our Med Spa NeoGen protocol treats with lower settings for a series of three treatments every 4-6 weeks. Treatment times vary depending on the area and your individual goals with a full-face treatment taking around 45-60 minutes and smaller targeted areas lasting 15-30 minutes.

    A topical numbing cream is applied for increased patient comfort. When ready, your clinician will begin the NeoGen treatment which delivers plasma energy in controlled pulses from the hand piece. This energy rapidly heats the skin but is non-ablative meaning it does not fully remove the skin’s surface like other ablative treatments typically used for skin resurfacing. Depending on the settings, most patients find the treatment comfortable and may experience a blast of warm air in certain areas. Immediately after the NeoGen treatment, skin will be red and warm but there will be no open wounds. NeoGen uses your skin as a natural barrier and maintains a protective layer that encourages rapid healing and prevents infection.

  • Depending on how well the individual’s skin is previously conditioned and the depth of the treatment, the downtime can vary. Typically, patients will experience 3-7 days of social downtime.

    Immediately after your treatment skin will be red and warm. We will apply a layer of Aquaphor jelly to your treated skin which you will continuously apply for the first 24 hours. Skin will be red and fragile and will need to be kept moist with Aquaphor for the first 3-days.

    Around day 4 to 6, skin will turn brown and the natural barrier that formed to protect your new skin as it developed will slough and peel away.

    As the damaged skin sloughs away and the new skin emerges, skin will look smoother, more evenly toned, brighter, and more youthful around day 7-10.

  • The skin tightening effects of the NeoGen are immediate with ongoing improvements as new collagen growth continues. Studies have shown that NeoGen treatments offer intense fibroblast regeneration up to two years after treatment. The results are firmer, more youthful-looking skin, tightening of the upper and lower eyelids, and improvement in skin tone, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin texture.

NeoGen Plasma Resurfacing

Unlike lasers, NeoGen does not treat a specific chromophore or color target like brown pigment. And unlike other technologies, NeoGen is not a non-fractionated treatment meaning it is able to treat the whole skin architecture. These innovative features ensure uniform energy absorption for an all-in-one treatment to dramatically improve fine lines and wrinkles, skin elasticity, pigmentation, and scarring.
