subnovii plasma device
Not all plasma is the same. The Subnovii’s highly controlled, low frequency emission means treatments are more precise and predictable and healing time is reduced for the patient. This plasma technology specification is important for the tough to treat areas around the mouth and eyes.
ABOUT Subnovii
wHAT IT IS
The first and only FDA-cleared plasma device with LF+ technology: a low frequency plus a patented wavelength combination to safely and effectively deliver energy. A Non-surgical option for skin tightening, wrinkle reduction by coagulation of tissue and intended for the removal and destruction of benign skin lesions (skin tags, sebaceous hyperplasia, cherry angiomas)
Plasma technology takes advantage of the fine layer of ionized gas, or plasma, that exists along the surface of your skin. Plasma devices emit energy that instantly sublimates a precise spot on the skin. A sealed wound is created and heat is delivered below the skin to kickstart fibroblast activity, which stimulates collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. The tip of the plasma device never actually touches the skin.
How it works
Because the plasma device creates an instant wound on the skin, small scabs form that can take 5-10 days to fall off. The scabs are a natural and protective barrier to the magic taking place below. Because the treatment area is immediately sealed, there is minimal risk of side effects. As the area heals, the skin may feel tight and itchy. Once the scabs fall off, the skin beneath may look pink. This is renewed skin and any redness should progressively fade.

FAQs
-
● Schedule consult to ensure you are a good candidate
● No direct sun exposure 4 weeks prior to treatment
● No self-tanner 2 weeks prior to treatment
● If patient is prone to cold sores, notify provider
● Men should have a cleanly shaven face the night before or the morning of the
procedure - without visible stubble.
● Discontinue use of anticoagulants, aspirin 7 days prior to treatment.
● No Retinols, AHA, Glycolic, or other exfoliants 7 days prior to treatment
-
Moderate discomfort can be expected, swelling, redness and scabbing can occur for up to 7 days. You will numb for 30-60 min before the procedure. The device does not touch the skin, but thermal reaction will stimulate fibroblast activity (helping cell regeneration and collagen production)
-
Results can be seen as early as 4 weeks, but best results are seen at 12 weeks with max results at 6 months. Results are considered permanent, although we do continue to age.
-
Thorough instructions will be given, along with a specific aftercare kit. You will want to avoid water and excess sweating for 24 hours post procedure. Avoid direct sunlight as this can cause pigmentation issues and scarring.
-
● Subnovii works best on light to medium skin color, mature skin with mild to moderate rhytides and fine lines.
● Not good for people who have a history of keloid scarring, have an active infection, darker skin types, those prone to hyperpigmentation or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
