Plasma

Plasma treatment at Coco Aesthetics

Advanced skin tightening, lifting and renewal.

Plasma treatment is an advanced skin rejuvenation procedure designed to tighten, lift, and improve the appearance of loose or crepey skin.

It is commonly used for delicate areas such as the eyelids, under-eyes, mouth area, jawline, neck, and areas where skin texture needs visible refinement.

Perfect for concerns like:

  • Loose or crepey skin
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Hooded or ageing eye area
  • Jawline and neck laxity
  • Skin texture irregularities
  • Areas needing visible tightening and refinement

Why choose Plasma?

  • Targets skin tightening without surgery
  • Can improve delicate areas like the eye area
  • Supports a firmer-looking skin appearance
  • Can improve texture and tone over time
  • Longer-term results develop as the skin heals
  • More than one session may be recommended for best results

What to expect

 

Healing Signs

Redness, swelling, tenderness, tightening, scabbing and blood spots can occur in the first 1–5 days.

Recovery

Scabs often begin coming off around day 5/6, but healing varies depending on the area and intensity.

Follow Up

Follow-up treatments may be recommended 8–12 weeks after the initial treatment.

Visible tightening. Refined skin texture.

Plasma treatment works by creating controlled treatment points that encourage skin tightening and renewal as the area heals.

Results develop gradually. The skin beneath the scabs is delicate and needs careful aftercare to support healing and reduce the risk of pigmentation or scarring.

Plasma aftercare

Plasma requires careful preparation and aftercare. Follow the clinic’s instructions closely and only use recommended products unless otherwise advised.

Frequently asked questions

Is scabbing normal after Plasma?

Yes. Scabbing, redness, swelling, tenderness, tightening and blood spots can be part of the normal healing process.

Can I pick the scabs?

No. Picking or scratching scabs can cause them to come off prematurely and may increase the risk of scarring or pigmentation changes.

When can I exercise?

Avoid intense exercise and sweating for 4 days after the procedure.

How important is SPF?

SPF30+ is essential daily, even indoors or in overcast weather. Direct sun and UV exposure should be avoided for 3 months post treatment.
