AgeJet

Just one AgeJet treatment will significantly improve skin quality. It is unique in its ability to safely treat the upper and lower eyelids resulting it what many people describe as a “non-surgical blepharoplasty”. Unlike laser procedures which require corneal shields, the plasma energy delivered to the eyelid tissue does not penetrate through to the eye, making this procedure incredibly safe all the way up to the eyelash margin. The results are consistent and dramatic leaving you with a natural more refreshed appearance.

How does it work?

AgeJET converts medical-grade nitrogen gas into nitrogen plasma. It channels plasma thermal energy through controlled pulses that quickly and gently heat the skin tissue. The thermal energy is conducted via water in the tissue to the deep layers of the skin. 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. The treated skin creates a natural dressing and optimal healing conditions.

AgeJet treats the entire structure of your skin. Other technologies target certain parts of your skin. Because PlasmaResurfacing treats all of your skin, your wrinkles, elasticity, scars, pigmentation, and more can be simultaneously treated by this one device.

During your treatment, the surface of the skin is heated up with a device that delivers energy pulses that appear to singe the skin’s surface. Immediately after the treatment, your face appears red and then it will change to brown over a few days and a thin layer will peel off. AgeJet preserves the skin’s outer layer which acts as a natural protective dressing until your new healthy skin forms over 7-10 days. A few days after treatment, a new epidermal layer reveals itself with dramatically improved tone, texture, and laxity. Surface improvements appear quickly and deep dermal collagen remodeling continues for months to years. The treatment takes just an hour but the results continue to last as your collagen continues to remodel.

Post-treatment care or downtime?

Depending on the strength of the treatment, and how well your skin is previously conditioned the downtime will vary. Your treatment skin will be pink or red and may feel warm like a sunburn for several hours. Prior to leaving the office, a layer of rejenerative cooling exosomes will be applied to your treated skin. Treated skin will be fagile. Treat it gently. It is important not to pick at your skin during the process. You may see a “bronzing effect” which will disappear within a few days. It is typical for a patient to experience 4 to 10 days of social downtime, but you are able to wear make up the following day. Shaving will depend on skin’s results and strength of the treatment. Although there are no open wounds, the higher energy treatments may cause skin to peel significantly for several days after treatment. Your skin will feel dry and tight so applying high quality exosomes and a high quality moisturizer and important to speed healing and recovery.

How long until I see results?

Immediately, you will see tiger skin over the treated area. Over several weeks to months, new skin surfaces as regenerative effects progress.

How long will results last?

Results will vary depending on your skin condition and the intensity of treatments. Clinical studies have shown that new collagen growth can occur for more than a year after treatment so results are long lasting.

How many treatments will I need?

Your treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation. We base our recommendations based on your goals, comfortable with energy level, desired degree of downtime, areas to be treated, and the condition of your skin prior to treatment. Generally 1 to 6 treatments are recommended 4 to 6 weeks apart.

-Make-up may be applied as early as the next morning after your treatment.
