Abstract:
Nitrogen plasma skin regeneration (PSR) initiated the use of cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) in skin rejuvenation over a decade ago. Helium gas CAP is already in widespread use worldwide for many surgical applications, whereas its use in skin rejuvenation is now emerging as a viable tool for treatment of facial rhytidosis. Animal studies comparing these CAPs suggest that observed differences in skin tissue interaction result from differences in plasma generation and in energy deposition wherein greater skin tissue contraction observed with helium PSR may result from its unique bimodal energy deposition and more complete full field treatment of the tissue.
