What this site is for
It exists to answer a question that advertising does not: what does this treatment actually do, and what does the evidence behind it support? Plasma treatment is a real treatment with a real mechanism and a real risk. A good deal of what is sold under the name is neither established nor regulated for the purpose it is sold for. Separating the two is the whole purpose of this review.
What it deliberately does not do
It does not name a device, a maker or a product, because the differences between them are the substance of the question and naming one would answer it wrongly. It does not quote a dose, an energy setting, a wavelength or a price, does not claim that any treatment will produce a particular result, and does not state what Chongqing West District Hospital offers in relation to plasma treatment, because that has not been verified. It carries no booking prompt.
The facts kept visible
Three facts are repeated wherever they are relevant. Plasma is a surface treatment, and the effect is confined to the skin. Tightening the skin is not repositioning the face, so a device is not a smaller version of an operation. And pigment change is the risk that decides the indication, particularly in skin that tans readily, which is why a skin examination comes before any plan.
How the content is reviewed and corrected
Ke He, MD, Deputy Director and Head of Skin & Laser Aesthetics, is the responsible physician. Because this subject moves quickly, the review is maintained on a three-month cycle rather than the twelve-month cycle used elsewhere in this cluster, and an out-of-cycle revision is made when a device's regulatory status or intended use changes. If you find something unclear, out of date or wrong, the contact page explains how to tell us.
