Cold Plasma FAQ
Everything you need to know before booking your Cold Plasma treatment.
Cold Plasma is an advanced aesthetic treatment that uses low-temperature plasma technology to interact with the skin's surface. Unlike treatments that rely on intense heat to remove layers of skin, Cold Plasma works more gently while stimulating the skin's natural renewal processes.
Depending on your treatment plan, Cold Plasma may be used to help improve the appearance of:
Acne-prone skin
Post-acne marks
Fine lines
Wrinkless
Uneven skin texture
Enlarged pores
Eczema
Psoriasis
Nail Fungus
Stretch marks
Certain types of scars
Overall skin rejuvenation
Every treatment is customized based on your skin concerns and goals
Cold Plasma creates ionized gas that interacts with the skin's surface while producing very little heat.
The treatment is designed to support the skin's natural repair processes and may stimulate collagen production over time.
Unlike some more aggressive resurfacing treatments, Cold Plasma generally causes less disruption to the skin barrier, making it an appealing option for many clients seeking minimal downtime.
Cold Plasma may be incorporated into treatment plans for concerns including:
Acne-prone skin
Post-acne marks
Fine lines
Wrinkless
Uneven skin texture
Enlarged pores
Eczema
Psoriasis
Nail Fungus
Stretch marks
Certain types of scars
Overall skin rejuvenation
During your consultation, we'll determine whether Cold Plasma is appropriate for your specific concerns.
Yes—Cold Plasma is generally considered suitable for a wide range of skin tones because it is not primarily relying on high-temperature thermal damage.
However, every client is individually assessed before treatment.
If you have a history of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or sensitive skin, your treatment plan may be adjusted accordingly.
Most clients describe the treatment as comfortable.
You may feel:
Mild warmth
Tingling
A light buzzing sensation
Gentle prickling
Pain tolerance varies from person to person, but the treatment is generally well tolerated.
In many cases, numbing cream is not necessary.
However, comfort is always considered, and recommendations depend on the treatment area and treatment intensity.
Appointment length depends on the area being treated.
Approximate treatment times:
Small areas: 20–30 minutes
Face treatments: 45–60 minutes
Larger body areas: 45–90 minutes
Your appointment includes consultation, skin assessment and personalized treatment planning.
The number of sessions depends on:
Your skin concern
The treatment area
Your skin's response
Your goals
Many clients benefit from a series of treatments rather than expecting complete improvement after a single session.
Your personalized treatment plan will be discussed during your consultation.
Some clients notice improvements in skin brightness and texture shortly after treatment.
Collagen remodeling takes time, so improvements in texture, firmness and the appearance of scars may continue developing over several weeks.
Results vary between individuals.
Cold Plasma may help improve the appearance of mild skin laxity by supporting collagen production.
It is not a surgical skin-tightening procedure, and results vary depending on the individual and the condition being treated.
Cold Plasma may be incorporated into treatment plans for acne-prone skin.
It may help improve the appearance of active breakouts and support healthier-looking skin as part of an overall skincare approach.
It is not a cure for acne, and ongoing management may still be necessary.
Yes, Cold Plasma may help improve the appearance of certain acne scars over time.
Because scar improvement depends on collagen remodeling, multiple sessions are often recommended.
The degree of improvement depends on the type, depth and age of the scar.
Cold Plasma may help improve the appearance and texture of stretch marks by supporting the skin's natural renewal process.
Older stretch marks typically require more patience and multiple treatments.
Results vary depending on the individual.
In many cases, Cold Plasma can be incorporated into scar-revision treatment plans once the scar has fully healed and is appropriate for treatment.
The scar will be assessed during your consultation before determining suitability.
One of the benefits of Cold Plasma is that downtime is generally minimal.
Some clients experience:
Mild redness
Warmth
Temporary sensitivity
Slight dryness
These effects are usually temporary.
Aftercare instructions should still be followed carefully.
Some clients experience mild dryness or light flaking, while others experience little to no peeling.
This depends on the treatment intensity and your individual skin response.
Avoid picking or scratching the skin if flaking occurs.
It is generally recommended to avoid makeup immediately after treatment.
Your personalized aftercare instructions will explain when it is appropriate to resume cosmetics.
Avoid activities that cause excessive sweating immediately after treatment if your skin is still warm or sensitive.
Allow your skin time to settle before returning to strenuous exercise.
Protecting your skin from UV exposure is extremely important.
Avoid excessive sun exposure during healing, and once appropriate, wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen on exposed treated areas.
Yes—Cold Plasma may be incorporated into combination treatment plans.
Depending on your goals, it may be combined with other aesthetic services at appropriate intervals.
Your treatment plan will be customized to ensure treatments are performed safely.
Treatment may need to be postponed or declined if you have:
Active skin infection
Open wounds
Significant skin irritation
Sunburn
Certain active inflammatory skin conditions
Recent aggressive cosmetic treatments
Pregnancy (depending on treatment area and protocol)
Other contraindications identified during consultation
Your suitability will always be assessed before treatment.
Please let us know if you have:
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Active skin conditions
Recent cosmetic procedures
Prescription skincare use
History of abnormal scarring
Medical conditions affecting healing
Allergies or sensitivities
Current medications
This helps us determine the safest and most appropriate treatment plan.
No.
Cold Plasma works best as part of a comprehensive skincare plan.
Healthy daily habits—including sunscreen, moisturizing and appropriate home care—help support and maintain your results.
Cold Plasma offers a non-invasive approach that focuses on supporting the skin's natural renewal processes with minimal downtime.
At Aniekanvas Aesthetics, every treatment begins with a personalized consultation so we can recommend the most appropriate treatment for your skin—not simply the most popular one.
Immediately after treatment, your skin may feel:
Warm
Slightly pink
Sensitive
Fresh and refreshed
Over the following days, your skin may continue to improve as it recovers.
For concerns such as scars, stretch marks and skin texture, improvements typically develop gradually over a series of treatments.
Patience and consistency are key.
