What Is NeoGen™?

NeoGen™ is a treatment that utilizes nitrogen plasma to stimulate skinrestoration. Nitrogen plasma uses thermal energy to allow for the skin to be penetrated and heat to travel easily. Once the plasma’s heat transference is in full effect beneath the surface layers of the skin, this treatment can reach a much deeper layer and address the underlying causes of skin surface disruptions. This treatment is also highly effective for killing bacteria, treating acne, and allowing other skincare treatments or at-home regimens to permeate more deeply.

Who Is a Candidate For NeoGen™?

Appropriate patients for NeoGen™ are anyone seeking to change the look or feel of the surface of their skin – patients typically present with uneven skin tone or pigmentation, loose skin, age spots, acne or acne scarring, texture and wrinkles. This procedure may also be utilized to fight the effects of sun damage that may have caused your skin to have a rough texture or hyperpigmentation.

What Are The Complications I Should Be Aware Of Post Treatment?

• Sunburn sensation – you will have a sunburn sensation that will intensity immediately post treatment for up to 6 hours post. The sunburn sensation will decrease significantly thereafter but may last up to a couple of days post.
• Edema/Swelling – may be present. This typically lasts around 3-6 days post treatment. If swollen: sleep elevated, mix 1 tablespoon Epsom salts with 8 ounces water and soak a washlcoth in the mixture. Apply the washcloth over the areas of swelling for 10 minutes up to 4 times a day. You can also apply a cool compress. You can also consider taking an oral antihistamine (Allegra, Claritin, Zyrtec or Benadryl at night) however it is a possibility that doing so may decrease the efficacy of treatment.
• Urticaria/Itching – this is an expected sign of healing. If the itching becomes worse and the itchy bumps do not slowly dissapear after 4-5 days, please contact [email protected] or your Practitioner accordingly.
• Redness – with any laser treatment that stimulates collagen, redness may occur. Increased blood flow to the area is a positive sign that new tissue has been generated. After a series of 3, you may need to book a discounted BBL to address any lingering redness.
• Acne – purging may be present post treatment.
