How NeoGen Plasma Reduces Stretch Marks and Restores Smooth Skin

Stretch marks are a common skin concern for people of all ages. Whether caused by pregnancy, rapid weight changes, puberty or muscle growth, these marks are more than just a cosmetic issue; they can affect confidence and self-esteem.

While countless creams and treatments promise to fade stretch marks, results are often inconsistent.

NeoGen Plasma is a cutting-edge, non-invasive technology that is changing the way we approach skin rejuvenation.

We will explore how NeoGen Plasma works, why it is effective at reducing stretch marks and what to expect before, during and after the treatment.

What are stretch marks?

Stretch marks are indented streaks or lines that appear when your skin rapidly stretches or shrinks. They generally appear on your:

• Abdomen
• Thighs
• Hips
• Breasts
• Upper arms
• Lower back
• Buttocks

Stretch marks don’t hurt, but they can affect your confidence and self-esteem. This is why many people turn to treatments to reduce the appearance of their stretch marks.

How NeoGen Plasma technology works to treat stretch marks

The NeoGen Plasma treatment aims to reduce fine lines while simultaneously tightening up the skin. This is achieved using plasma technology, which employs high-frequency waves instead of needles or lasers.

Although often used for fine lines and wrinkles, NeoGen Plasma is an effective treatment for reducing the appearance of stretch marks. It stimulates collagen and elastin production in the skin by using controlled heat to induce a healing response. This in turn helps to repair and rejuvenate the skin.

The stages of skin renewal with NeoGen Plasma

NeoGen Plasma involves three distinct stages: initial skin tightening, epidermal resurfacing and skin regeneration.

Stage 1

Stage 1 of skin renewal with NeoGen Plasma is skin tightening. This occurs when the heat hits the skin causing the tissue to contract.

Stage 2

This stage is for skin resurfacing. When the heat penetrates the skin, the epidermis creates a natural barrier to protect the skin from any infection.

Once the healing process has taken place the old epidermis is shed, and a new one is created. The new epidermis will have a new, healthier look and feel.

Stage 3

The final stage of NeoGen Plasma is skin regeneration. The disruption caused by the heat stimulates the collagen, elastin and connective tissues, while creating new blood vessels.

Key benefits of NeoGen Plasma for stretch mark reduction

NeoGen Plasma offers several key benefits for reducing the appearance of stretch marks, including:

• Collagen stimulation: NeoGen Plasma encourages the production of new collagen and elastin. This can help improve skin elasticity and firmness, reducing the appearance of stretch marks.
• Skin resurfacing and tightening: This treatment can help resurface the skin and address the discolouration and texture associated with stretch marks.
• Visible improvements: With NeoGen Plasma you may notice visible improvements to your stretch marks straight away.
• Long-lasting results: Compared to over-the-counter treatments, the effects of NeoGen Plasma can continue to improve for months after the treatment. This is because collagen production continues to be stimulated.

What to expect before, during and after NeoGen Plasma treatment

Once you have had your personal consultation with one of our treatment coordinators you will be ready for your NeoGen Plasma treatment. Here’s what to expect every step of the way:

How to prepare for the treatment

• Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks.
• Hydrate well. Healthy, hydrated skin responds better to treatment.
• Avoid blood-thinning medications if possible (check with your doctor first).
• Come with clean skin on the day of your appointment.

Your treatment coordinator will go over your medical history and skin concerns in detail prior to your appointment to customise your treatment plan.

What the treatment involves

NeoGen Plasma uses a unique nitrogen plasma energy to deliver controlled thermal energy deep into the skin. This energy stimulates collagen production, remodels the skin structure and promotes cellular regeneration.

Typically, during your session:

• Topical anaesthetic will be applied for comfort, especially at higher treatment intensities.
• You may experience a warm, tingling sensation at low-energy treatments. Higher-energy treatments may be more painful.
• Depending on the treatment area, the session will take between 30-60 minutes.

NeoGen Plasma aftercare

During treatment, no layer of skin is removed, but depending on the type of treatment you had, the outer layer of skin could peel or flake. Your treatment coordinator will inform you when you may expect this.

Your skin may appear pink to brown in hue following the procedure. This natural post-procedure state is known as erythema. Your treatment coordinator will advise you on how long this is expected to last.

During the first 24 hours:

• Always apply a thick coating of petroleum jelly on your skin and reapply as needed to keep it from drying out.
• Avoid sun exposure.
• Follow your doctor’s suggested medication regimen.
• Always wash your hands thoroughly with antibacterial soap before touching affected areas.
• Apply a thicker coat of petroleum jelly at night.
• Use a clean cotton tip applicator or a fresh wooden tongue depressor to remove skin treatment materials from containers.

NeoGen Plasma downtime

Downtime following your treatment will depend on the treatment indication. At lower energy levels, recovery time is minimal.

Downtime varies by individual and treatment intensity, with some experiencing minimal effects and others requiring 5–7 days of recovery.
