NeoGen™ PSR, or Plasma Skin Regeneration, is an FDA cleared, nonsurgical skin regeneration treatment for skin tightening, rejuvenation, and resurfacing. NeoGen™ improves elasticity to help firm, tone, and smooth skin on the face, neck, and body.The process begins with the generation of plasma. Plasma is the fourth state of matter, and in this context it refers to an ionized gas composed of charged particles. The NeoGen™ PSR uses a specialized handpiece to deliver controlled bursts of plasma energy to the targeted areas of the skin. Skin tightening occurs when the heat hits the skin causing the tissue to contract.

• Last use must be 6 months prior to NeoGen™ treatment.
• Unprotected sun exposure within (4 weeks) of treatment, including tanning beds or tanning products, such as creams, lotions and sprays.
• Lifestyle related to potential downtime.

Post treatment you can expect the following:

• 7 to 14 days of downtime depending on the intensity of your treatment
• Acne-prone patients may experience acne breakouts post treatment
• Aquaphor will be applied to the treated area immediately after the treatment. You will not wash the area for 24 to 48 hours.
• Area needs to be kept clean. No sweating for at least 72 hours post treatment.
• Swelling is possible and common after the treatment. The swelling that is normally expected is usually proportional to the depth of the treatment.
• Your skin will begin to wash or peel off and will become red over the first few days and remain red for a week, will then gradually fade to pink, and then over the next several weeks will normalize. Some individuals progress quickly from red to pink while others may take weeks or months in some cases.
• After the crusts are gone the “greasy” creams will be stopped. At this time we recommend using a hypoallergenic moisturizer.

While some results may be almost immediate, your best results usually won’t be visible until three months after the procedure as it takes this long for new collagen to generate. Results can last up to a year.

The number of treatments will depend on the intensity of the treatment  and  your desired results. Your provider will discuss and customize a treatment for your individual needs. For low energy treatments, we recommend three treatments spaced 3 weeks apart.

Complications, though rare, can occur and should be discussed and understood. The patient must understand the importance of the post care instructions, and that failure to comply may increase the potential for complications.

• Hypopigmentation (lightening of the skin) or hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin)
• Skin infection
• Allergic Reactions
• Short-term effects may include reddening, mild burning, temporary bruising, blistering or bleeding.
