What is plasma technology?
Fractional Plasma is radio frequency technology that rejuvenates the skin. It produces fantastic results that rival the aggressive CO2 treatment. The plasma frequency of this treatment jumpstarts collagen production, similar to micro-needling.
This unique technology creates a thermal zone in the dermis and microscopic fractional ablative dots on the skin surface (the epidermis).
