Argon, as a biologically inert noble gas, is safe for the human body. It has properties that help maintain thermal stability. During soft tissue coagulation, argon plasma minimises the risk of carbonisation, allowing procedures to be performed safely and in a controlled manner.
Indications:
Excess and loose skin after:
- liposuction procedures
- bariatric surgery
- weight loss
- pregnancy
Before the procedure:
A consultation is required, during which the specialist doctor answers all of the patient's questions and pre-procedure tests are ordered. In addition, blood-thinning medications (e.g. aspirin) must not be taken for at least 10 days before the procedure.
Type of anesthesia:
Local or intravenous anaesthesia
Duration of the Argo Plasma skin tightening procedure:
Depending on the area: from 40 to 60 minutes. The procedure is usually combined with liposuction – in which case the duration of the procedure is extended.
Course of the Argo Plasma skin tightening procedure:
After discussing expectations, small incisions are made under intravenous anaesthesia to allow insertion of the argon delivery probe. This procedure increases skin tension and improves firmness by contracting old and stretched collagen fibres. The production of new collagen and elastin is stimulated.
