Skin Tightening with Argon Plasma
Plasma technology has been used in various fields of surgery for decades. Improvements of this technology enabled the development of modern treatments in the field of plastic surgery, for improving skin tightness and firmness. Argon Plasma technology yields very good results as an effective and safe modality for lipedema patients.
Skin Tightening with Argon Plasma
Argon gas is biologically inert and has no adverse impact on human tissue. Due to its properties, it is used to maintain skin temperature stability. Treatment with Argon Plasma is safe and controlled. The aim is getting rid of excess, saggy&flabby skin. During application of Argon Plasma, the older stretched collagen fibres are shrunk to a great extent, stimulating production of new collagen fibers. The use of Argon Plasma minimises the risk of carbonization during soft tissue heating and no smoke is generated.
The treatment is performed with a modern Argon Plasma generator, which combines the properties of argon plasma with radiofrequency energy. This technology ensures selective shrinking of collagen fibres, which are tissues with the lowest resistance, and all other structures including blood capilleries and lymphatics remain intact. The treated skin area is effectively cooled by argon gas during procedure and there is no need to control the epidermal temperature externally. Argon Plasma ensures full precision and guarantees patient safety.
The major advantage offered by Argon Plasma technology is long-lasting and sustainable results in lipedema patients. Excess flabby skin occuring after high volume liposuction is no longer a problem. Accelerated regeneration of collagen tissues shortens the post-operative recovery. Argon Plasma is applied immediately following VASER Liposuction during same surgery and it is completely painless.
Argon Plasma technology is a breakthrough in the field of lipedema surgery, because saggy or loose skin has been a major issue in lipedema patients after liposuction. Argon Plasma is the most effective way to get rid of excess flabby skin after liposuction in lipedema patients. Because Argon Plasma quickly improves skin tightness and shrinks excess skin immediately after surgery. Argon Plasma is used in lipedema surgery to tighten the skin of different body parts, such as arms, abdomen, thigh and hip. The first effects are visible in a few weeks after the procedure, and the final result after a few months. Argon Plasma does not involve any risk of skin damage.
