Hardware plasma therapy at Symmetrica

Treating inflammation, reactivity, post-acne, and uneven skin texture using low-temperature plasma.

At Symmetrica, hardware plasma therapy is performed using the PlasmaSkin Pro Athera system. It allows for the selection of different types of plasma treatment depending on the specific issue being addressed.
The procedures are performed without the use of blood plasma. For each task, the specialist selects the appropriate attachment and operating parameters.

When to consider plasma therapy

Hardware plasma therapy is not limited to a single specific issue. Thanks to various attachments, a specialist can treat both inflamed and reactive skin, as well as post-acne concerns once the inflammatory process has stabilized.

This procedure may be considered for:

arrow

active inflammatory lesions;

arrow

tendency toward recurring breakouts;

arrow

excessive oiliness;

arrow

redness and reactivity;

arrow

slow healing after breakouts;

arrow

post-acne marks;

arrow

enlarged pores;

arrow

uneven texture;

arrow

localized scarring;

arrow

loss of elasticity.

How PlasmaSkin Pro Athera treats various skin conditions

The PlasmaSkin Pro Athera comes with several attachments for different types of treatment. These include the plasma shower, microplasma thermolysis, sublimation, and the Athera tip.

Plasma shower

Delicate, broad-spectrum treatment for inflamed skin

Plasma shower provides uniform treatment over a large area without localized trauma. It can be used for:
arrow

active breakouts;

arrow

acne-prone skin;

arrow

excess oiliness;

arrow

redness and reactivity;

arrow

slow healing;

arrow

recurrent inflammatory lesions.

* This treatment does not require mechanical pressure on breakouts, punctures, or aggressive heating.

Athera attachment

Uniform barrier plasma treatment

Athera is a dedicated PlasmaSkin Pro Athera attachment that operates using barrier discharge technology.
The design, featuring an electrode matrix and a quartz dielectric, creates a uniform cloud of ionized plasma without direct electrical contact with the skin. This prevents local hot spots and allows for a more delicate treatment.
The attachment can be used when you need to:
arrow

work with reactive and sensitive skin;

arrow

reduce surface microbial load;

arrow

support the protective barrier;

arrow

manage excess oiliness;

arrow

supplement acne care;

arrow

prepare the skin for subsequent professional care steps.

Microplasma thermolysis

Addressing post-acne, pores, and uneven texture

Once active inflammation has been stabilized, you can proceed to more intensive texture correction.
Microplasma thermolysis creates fractional micro-zones of impact, leaving intact areas of skin in between. This triggers epidermal renewal processes and the remodeling of collagen structures.
The technique is used for:
arrow

atrophic post-acne scarring;

arrow

enlarged pores;

arrow

uneven micro-relief;

arrow

localized scarring;

arrow

post-acne marks;

arrow

uneven texture;

arrow

loss of elasticity.

* Thermolysis is performed after active inflammation has stabilized.

Plasma sublimation

Targeted correction of localized changes

Sublimation is used for targeted treatment of specific areas where broad application is not required.
It can be used to correct:
arrow

localized scarring;

arrow

irregularities;

arrow

specific areas of excess tissue;

arrow

age-related changes.

* After the procedure, redness, swelling, and small dark crusts may appear, which usually persist for about 5–7 days and fall off on their own.

First inflammation, then relief

STAGE 1
Active inflammation and reactivity

At this stage, the following may be used:

Plasma shower
Athera nozzle

Objective:

arrow

reduce microbial load;

arrow

support the skin during inflammation;

arrow

reduce reactivity;

arrow

support the protective barrier;

arrow

promote recovery.

STAGE 2
Post-acne and texture irregularities

Once the skin has stabilized, you can proceed to:

Microplasma thermolysis
Plasma sublimation

Objective:

arrow

treat post-acne marks;

arrow

reduce the appearance of scarring;

arrow

smooth out texture;

arrow

treat enlarged pores;

arrow

correct localized irregularities.

How plasma affects the skin

Plasma is an ionized gas containing reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, as well as charged particles.

With the right settings, plasma treatment can:

Reduce microbial load

Helps influence microorganisms associated with inflammatory processes.

Support anti-inflammatory processes

May influence signaling mechanisms associated with inflammation.

Support microcirculation

Helps create favorable conditions for tissue repair.

Support the protective barrier

Especially important for reactive and weakened skin.

Promote regeneration

Supports the natural renewal processes of the epidermis.

Plasma therapy for acne

Acne is a multifactorial condition. Its development involves excessive sebum production, follicle blockage, the activity of the Cutibacterium acnes bacteria, and an inflammatory response.
Therefore, plasma therapy should not be presented as a procedure that replaces comprehensive treatment.
It can help to:
arrow

reduce surface microbial load;

arrow

support anti-inflammatory processes;

arrow

improve local microcirculation;

arrow

promote the healing of inflammatory lesions;

arrow

avoid additional mechanical trauma;

arrow

prepare the skin for subsequent post-acne treatment.

For moderate to severe acne, primary treatment is determined by a dermatologist. Hardware-based plasma therapy can complement medical therapy, but it does not replace it.

For sensitive and reactive skin

If the skin is highly reactive, it is not necessary to move to intensive techniques. A specialist may use a more delicate plasma treatment, such as a plasma shower or the Athera tip.

Before the procedure, the following are assessed:

arrow

condition of the protective barrier;

arrow

severity of redness;

arrow

active breakouts;

arrow

predisposition to pigmentation;

arrow

reaction to previous procedures;

arrow

dermatological history.

In cases of active dermatosis, the protocol is determined in consultation with a dermatologist. Thermolysis and sublimation are postponed until the skin has stabilized.

What changes to expect from plasma therapy

Depending on the tip used and the goal, plasma therapy can help:

Reduce signs of inflammation

Skin may appear calmer.

Reduce microbial load

Especially relevant for acne-prone skin.

Normalize the appearance of oily skin

Address excess oiliness and shine.

Support recovery

Help skin heal after breakouts.

Treat post-acne marks

After the active process has stabilized.

Smooth out texture

Address uneven skin texture and enlarged pores.

Reduce the appearance of scarring

Using more intensive tips.

Improve overall skin quality

By addressing its current needs in stages.

Is recovery needed

Recovery time depends on the specific tip and intensity used.

Plasma shower

Minimal reaction

Short-term redness may occur. Significant downtime is usually not required.

Athera

Gentle treatment

Barrier discharge ensures uniform treatment without local hot spots. Short-term redness is possible.

Microplasma thermolysis

Recovery period required

Redness, swelling, tightness, peeling, or small crusts may occur. Full recovery typically takes 3–10 days.

Plasma sublimation

Most noticeable recovery

Tiny crusts form at the treatment sites, which fall off on their own within 5–7 days.

arrow

pregnancy and breastfeeding;

arrow

oncological diseases;

arrow

acute infectious diseases;

arrow

fever;

arrow

herpes and other active infections in the treatment area;

arrow

open wounds;

arrow

severe skin damage;

arrow

blood clotting disorders;

arrow

decompensated diabetes mellitus;

arrow

severe chronic diseases in the acute stage.

Important

For thermolysis and sublimation, a tendency toward keloid scarring is taken into account separately.

Not the strongest setting, but the one needed right now

One device gives the specialist several options for working with the skin. But this does not mean the patient needs the most intensive one. Before the procedure, the specialist evaluates:
arrow

level of inflammation;

arrow

sensitivity and reactivity;

arrow

condition of the protective barrier;

arrow

phototype;

arrow

tendency toward pigmentation;

arrow

presence of post-acne and scarring.

If inflammation is the main issue right now, the priority will be a more gentle approach. Once stabilized, we can move on to procedures focused on texture and post-acne marks.
The goal is to select a technique that matches the skin's condition at a specific stage.
