NeoGen® Nitrogen Plasma Skin Rejuvenation
Non-surgical skin regeneration using controlled nitrogen plasma. Tighten, smooth and brighten with tailored energy levels and predictable downtime — suitable for most skin types, including delicate eyelids.
Consultation-led. Results and downtime vary by energy level and individual response.
How NeoGen Plasma Works
NeoGen converts nitrogen gas into plasma and delivers controlled thermal energy in precise pulses. This creates a uniform, non-ablative thermal effect across the skin surface and into the dermis, triggering a cascade of repair: epidermal renewal, collagen remodelling and gradual skin tightening.
- Whole-surface effect: treats the epidermis and dermis without open wounds.
- Predictable settings: energy can be tailored from “glow refresh” to “deep rejuvenation”.
- Barrier preserved during healing: typically a lower risk of infection and PIH vs ablative lasers.
What It Helps
- Fine lines and wrinkles (face, eyelids, crow’s feet)
- Early laxity (brow/eyelid/jawline refinement)
- Sun damage, uneven tone and dullness
- Acne scarring and texture irregularities
- Stretch marks (selected cases)
Who Should Avoid
- Active skin infection/inflammation in the area
- Recent isotretinoin (< 6–12 months) or impaired wound healing
- Recent sunbed/sunburn, pregnancy, or as advised by your clinician
Treatment Levels & Downtime
| Protocol | Typical Plan | Downtime | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Low energy (non-ablative refresh) | 1–3 sessions, 3–6 weeks apart | Redness/bronzing 0–3 days | Glow, mild texture/pores, early fine lines |
| Medium energy (rejuvenation) | 1–2 sessions, 6–8 weeks apart | Bronzing/peel 3–6 days | Lines, pigmentation, mild–moderate laxity |
| High energy (intensive) | Single session; review at 3–6 months | Peel 5–10 days; pinkness may persist | Stronger tightening and texture resurfacing |
Collagen remodelling continues for 3–6 months. Strict SPF and sun avoidance are required throughout healing.
NeoGen vs CO₂ Laser vs RF Microneedling
| Feature | NeoGen Plasma | Fractional CO₂ | RF Microneedling |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy | Nitrogen plasma (thermal) | Ablative laser (CO₂) | Radiofrequency via needles |
| Skin surface | Uniform non-ablative renewal | Micro-ablation columns | Minimal surface change |
| Tightening | Good; eyelid-safe protocols | Strong with higher settings | Good in dermis; variable lift |
| Downtime | 0–10 days (energy-dependent) | 5–14 days (often longer) | 1–5 days (needle marks/erythema) |
| PIH risk | Lower vs ablative lasers | Higher, esp. darker skin tones | Generally low–moderate |
| Best for | Texture, tone, fine lines, lids | Deep wrinkles, scars, etched lines | Laxity/texture without surface ablation |
Before Your Treatment
- Avoid retinoids, exfoliants and self-tan for 3–5 days.
- No active cold sores, sunburn or infections.
- Arrive with clean skin; bring a list of actives you use.
Aftercare
- Gentle cleanse, barrier cream, broad-spectrum SPF 50.
- No picking; allow bronzing/peel to shed naturally.
- Avoid heat, vigorous exercise and sunbeds until healed.
Who It’s For
Ideal if you want noticeable rejuvenation with tailored downtime. We’ll advise whether NeoGen, CO₂ or RF microneedling best fits your skin type, goals and lifestyle.
FAQs
Is NeoGen safe for eyelids?
Yes — specific protocols allow precise peri-ocular treatment. Expect temporary bronzing/peel; sunglasses and SPF are essential.
How soon will I see results?
Skin looks brighter within 1–2 weeks. Tightening and texture continue to improve for 3–6 months as collagen remodels.
How many sessions will I need?
From a one-off high-energy session to a series of 2–3 lighter sessions. We’ll build a plan around your goals and schedule.
Can it treat darker skin tones?
Often yes, with conservative settings and strict photoprotection. Your clinician will assess individual risks and benefits.
How does it compare to CO₂ laser?
NeoGen is non-ablative at the surface and generally has a gentler healing profile with lower PIH risk, while CO₂ can achieve deeper ablation for etched lines and scars.
What about RF microneedling?
RF microneedling delivers heat via needles primarily in the dermis; NeoGen treats the full surface and superficial dermis uniformly. They can be complementary in a plan.
