What Is Cold Plasma?
Cold plasma, also known as cold atmospheric plasma or non-thermal atmospheric plasma, is a modern skin treatment that uses natural gases, primarily oxygen and nitrogen, which are converted into a safe and powerful plasma energy that benefits your skin. Unlike heat-based treatments, cold plasma works at skin-friendly temperatures (35 to 40°C), making it completely safe and comfortable to receive.
At Eugene Acne Clinic, we use the Dr. Platon device, a professional-grade aesthetic tool developed in South Korea and backed by clinical research. Using its special Plasma Shower technology, Dr. Platon sends a steady flow of cold plasma right onto the skin, addressing the main causes of acne at a cellular level.
Our cold plasma treatment in Eugene, OR, addresses acne at its root, targeting bacteria, inflammation, excess sebum, and a compromised skin immune response all at once. And the benefits go well beyond clearing breakouts.
The Cold Plasma Benefits
✓ Destroys Acne-Causing Bacteria: Targets and eliminates P. acnes bacteria responsible for inflammatory breakouts without disrupting the healthy skin microbiome.
✓ Reduces Skin Inflammation: Calms inflamed papules and pustules rapidly, delivering a visible reduction in redness and swelling so the skin can begin to heal.
✓ Balances Sebum Production: Helps control oil production and tackles the root causes of acne, leading to fewer and less severe breakouts over time.
✓ Soothes Sensitive and Problematic Skin: Acts like an antioxidant for the skin's immune system, helping clients with eczema, rosacea, atopic dermatitis, or seborrhea experience less irritation, dryness, and roughness.
✓ Supports Skin Regeneration and Anti-Aging: Stimulates cell division, boosts collagen production, and encourages new blood vessel growth for improved skin healing and anti-aging results.
✓ Brightens Post-Acne Marks and Skin Stains: Gently oxygenates melanin in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and reduces hemoglobin levels that contribute to stubborn blemishes left behind after breakouts.
✓ Boosts Absorption of Active Skincare Ingredients: Increases epidermal permeability by approximately 24% in the 12 hours post-treatment, so professional-grade ingredients applied after your session work significantly more effectively.
