Collagen synthesis refers to the natural process by which the body produces new collagen molecules. Collagen is a fibrous protein that forms the structural framework of our skin, tendons, ligaments, bones, and other connective tissues. It provides strength, elasticity, and support to these structures giving us a plump, fresh-faced glow. Collagen synthesis occurs at the cellular level through a complex series of biochemical reactions. Specialized cells called fibroblasts are primarily responsible for producing collagen. These cells receive signals from various factors, such as growth factors and cytokines, which initiate the synthesis process. Pure Plasma promotes collagen synthesis through controlled micro-injuries and subsequent healing responses. By stimulating collagen synthesis, Pure Plasma helps support healthy skin, improve its texture and elasticity, and minimize the visible signs of aging.

Various internal and external factors can influence the production of collagen, ultimately impacting the health and appearance of our skin. The collagen content per unit area of the skin surface is generally observed to decrease by around 1% per year as we age. ^[1] Understanding these factors can help us make informed decisions about skincare and lifestyle choices that support collagen production. Here are some other key factors that affect collagen production in the skin:

While we cannot control all the factors that affect collagen production, implementing skincare treatments like Pure Plasma that support collagen synthesis can have a positive impact on our skin’s health and vitality and reverse the effects of aging.

Pure Plasma is what is referred to as a non-ablative treatment, which means it is less invasive anddoes not remove or damage the outer layers of the skin. Instead, it works by delivering targeted energy to the deeper layers of the skin. Non-ablative treatments stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture and tone getting you back on your game faster since the downtime is greatly reduced.

When comparing Pure Plasma to ablative methods such as the CO2 laser, Pure Plasma has distinct advantages that make it a preferred choice for many individuals seeking to enhance collagen synthesis and improve their skin’s appearance. 

Pure Plasma is rooted in the science of plasma technology and its effects on the skin. Plasma is considered the fourth state of matter, distinct from solid, liquid, and gas. It is formed when a gas is ionized, creating a collection of positively and negatively charged particles.

This plasma energy is delivered to the skin in the form of ionized gas or plasma through the pen’s specialized tip. The plasma energy interacts with the skin, creating precisely controlled microtraumas on the skin’s surface. The body recognizes the micro-injuries and initiates a process of repair and regeneration. As part of this process, the production of collagen and elastin is stimulated in the deeper layers of the skin.

We established the importance of collagen, but elastin, another of our vital proteins, further contributes to the skin’s ability to stretch and bounce back. The increase in collagen and elastin production through Pure Plasma helps improve the skin’s firmness, elasticity, and gorgeous plushness.

The controlled micro-injuries created by the plasma energy also promote cellular turnover and exfoliation. This leads to the shedding of damaged and dead skin cells, revealing a fresher and healthier skin underneath. Over time, as the skin heals and new cells replace the old ones, improvements in skin texture, tone, and the reduction of imperfections can be observed.

Additionally, the thermal effect of the plasma energy generated by the pen helps to tighten and contract the skin. This contributes to the lifting and firming effects of Pure Plasma.

Yes, Pure Plasma treatment is generally safe for all skin types. The procedure uses plasma technology, which is non-invasive and can be customized to suit individual needs.

The number of Pure Plasma sessions required may vary depending on individual factors such as skin condition and treatment goals. Typically, a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart is recommended to achieve optimal results. During an initial consultation, your skincare provider will evaluate your skin and provide a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

Pure Plasma treatment is known for its minimal downtime compared to more invasive procedures. It is important to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by your practitioner to ensure proper healing and maximize the results.
