What is AgeJET Plasma Rejuvenation?

The AgeJET device converts nitrogen gas into energy, which is then transferred through the handpiece using controlled, ultra-high radiofrequency to penetrate and heat the tissue of the dermis to stimulate new elastin and collagen growth while removing damaged collagen.

AgeJET offers significant improvements when compared to older resurfacing technology. In the past these treatment often caused unwanted side effects such as changes in skin texture, pigmentation, skin whitening, and even scarring. Skin regeneration using PlasmaResurfacing enables results that are more predictable and safer for the skin’s structure.

What Makes It Different

PlasmaRejuvenation treats the entire structure of your skin. Other technologies target certain parts of your skin as a means of protecting tissue from damage, or because they are designed to treat specific skin damage or aging concerns. Because PlasmaResurfacing treats all of your skin, your wrinkles, elasticity, scars, pigmentation, and more can be simultaneously treated by this one device.

AgeJET never breaks or damages the skin’s surface. Lasers and other treatments work by ablating or vaporizing the surface of the skin to trigger healing responses. CO2 lasers, for example, can have significant complications and downtime. Instead, this unique form of energy allows controlled rapid heating over treatment areas, stimulating collagen remodeling and restoring skin elasticity—all while leaving the overlying epidermis intact.

AgeJET is FDA-cleared for general dermatological conditions. Worldwide, over 50,000 of this type of skin treatment have been performed in a span of ten years, and over thirty Institutional Review Board independent clinical studies have been completed.

Another major advantage of AgeJET treatments is that discomfort and pain are notably reduced and there is a shorter recovery period, typically between four to ten days, depending on the intensity of the treatment.

Benefits

There’s a three-fold benefit to AgeJET skin resurfacing process of treating without creating open wounds:

1. There’s less downtime.

2. Over time, your healthy upper skin layer provides protection as the deeper, treated tissue underneath is entirely remodeled during the physiological process of regeneration.

3. Non-ablated skin means less chance of infection and a safer, less stressful overall experience.

HOW LONG IS AN AVERAGE TREATMENT?

An average full-face treatment is approximately 25 minutes. Treatment times may vary if you're targeting specific areas of the face or body

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR TREATMENT?

2 weeks prior to the treatment

Avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning for at least two weeks prior to treatment.
Use a Sun Protection Factor(SPF) 30+ zinc oxide or titanium dioxide-based sunblock.
This should be applied thoroughly to all areas intended for treatment
Additional sun protective measures such as a wide brimmed hat, sunglasses and sun protective clothing will help to protect your skin before and following your treatment

1 week prior to the treatment

Exfoliates (scrubs, washes and other treatments that remove the outermost part of the skin) should not be used in the week prior to treatment
If you just started using topical treat tretinoins, such as cosmetics containing Retin A, in the last month, you will be advised to discontinue use.

During TREATMENT

Your treatment skin may feel warm like a sunburn for several hours. Prior to leaving the physician's office, a layer of petroleum jelly such as Vaseline will be applied to your treated skin. Treated skin will be fagile. Treat it gently. Your skin will be pink to red, it is important not to pick at your skin during the process. Keep it moist with petroleum jelly.

AFTER TREATMENT WHAT SHOULD I DO?

What will my skin look like?

None of your skin will be removed during the treatment, but depending on the type of treatment your have recieved, the outer layer of treated skin may eventually peel or flake. Your physician will tell you when you should expect to see this happen.

WHAT DOWNTIME SHOULD I EXPECT FROM THE TREATMENT?

There is no significant downtime with AgeJET™. Light erythema, or redness, is expected after the treatment and should subside within 3 days. Some patients have reported flaking of the skin or dryness, however, this is dependent upon the intensity of the treatments.
