Plasma IQ

Wondering how to get rid of hooded eyes and tired of trying the endless stream of over-the-counter eye creams offered? Consider this under-eye wrinkle treatment, Plasma IQ. This under-eye and eyelid treatment option for non-surgical blepharoplasty is a bit of a game changer.

Plasma IQ is a non-invasive procedure to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles as well as loose skin (often referred to as non-surgical Blepharoplasty or plasma skin tightening), and aid in stretch mark removal and scar removal via a process called sublimation (AKA plasma sublimation); this causes skin tightening and retraction of the targeted skin, as well as stimulating collagen formation in the treated area. Plasma IQ (the medical older sister of the Plasma Pen) provides full eye rejuvenation whilst simultaneously being one of the safest and fastest treatment solutions for a non-surgical eyelift on the market today.

At The Skin to Love Clinic the Plasma IQ treatment is always performed by a medical practitioner. Plasma IQ is a low-risk procedure, with minimal side effects, and none of the complications associated with surgical interventions. Therefore, it is an ideal solution for those who prefer the non-surgical route for skin rejuvenation.

Plasma IQ Treatment

Plasma is a gas which is used by your medical practitioner to heat your skin in the desired area; this is called ‘sublimation’. Sublimation causes a retraction of your skin and stimulates your body’s natural rejuvenation process to tighten the area, as well as soften lines, wrinkles and other skin imperfections due to collagen stimulation.

It is possible to have a single treatment of Plasma IQ, however results are accumulative and after each consecutive treatment your results can become more significant and noticeable; our usual recommendation is a course of 3 treatments.

Often referred to as ‘non-surgical blepharoplasty’ the most popular treatment area at The Skin to Love Clinic is around the eyes; there are many concerns that Plasma IQ can help with however, this includes:

  • Sagging upper and lower eyelids; sometimes referred to as the non-surgical blepharoplasty treatment.
  • Lines around the eyes, including crow’s feet
  • Fine lines and wrinkles on the face and body.
  • Stretch marks
  • Some scars

How often can I have repeat treatments of Plasma IQ?

We usually recommend 3 treatments at 6 weekly intervals to obtain best results. However, sessions can be spaced out further if needed.

What can I cover the tiny dots in the treated area with after the Plasma IQ treatment?

Mineral make-up can be applied if you’d like to cover up their appearance during your recovery. We always recommend using a high SPF in the treatment area to protect the delicate treated skin.

Will I need to take time off work after the Plasma IQ treatment?

Possibly. We always recommend having the Plasma IQ treatment when you have a few days to recover without the pressure of work or a social engagement, especially on your first treatment so that you can better understand how you respond to the treatment and how quickly you recover.

Are there any side effects to Plasma IQ?

Plasma IQ is considered a low-risk procedure; however, consultations are an important part of the treatment process in allowing you to understand the treatment and to establish if the benefits of the treatment are outweighed by any possible side effects. During a consultation, your characteristics, such as your medical background, will be assessed. Your medical practitioner will be able to discuss whether this treatment is appropriate for you, as well as any suitable alternative treatments.

Your practitioner will discuss any possible side effects, questions you may have and any aftercare you should adhere to prior to you having treatment.

Is Plasma IQ the same as the non-surgical blepharoplasty treatment?

This treatment is occasionally referred to as the non-surgical blepharoplasty treatment or plasma sublimation. Although it is commonly used to treat around the eyes, it can treat other areas also.

It is important to note that this is not a replacement for surgery.

Great service in a relaxing environment with the best aftercare you could ask for. Excellent treatments by caring staff with brilliant aftercare advice and follow ups!Caroline

The experience with Jane, Emma and Kerry was warm, kind and wonderful as always. An exceptional service provided in a friendly and knowledgeable way.  Top marks!Jill

It was my second round of Plasma IQ. Emma was a delight in the pre-care and couldn’t have looked after my needs better. My practitioner took a long time to review the process from the first Plasma IQ treatment (and the results so far). She then revised the second procedure accordingly to ensure maximum results are achieved. Everyone at Skin to Love is warm, welcoming and caring.  I couldn’t ask for more.Lisa

5 starsPauline

As always my appointment with Jane was professional and exactly what I wanted. Skin to love takes into account your style of life and will advise and schedule treatments to fit around you. They follow up all treatments with a phone call or text to check for any concerns. I have been a customer for 3 years and have never had an issue and have no hesitation in recommending them as nice caring people and for providing only top quality service and products.Jean

Forget Harley Street - The Skin To Love is the place to go!!My son who suffered from Acne hated his skin so much he wouldn't leave the house, his confidence hit rock bottom and was at a loss with his skin. We tried everything from expensive products to going into London to see dermatologists. One day he told me he'd seen the Skin To Love in St Albans and suggested we go in for a consultation.This was a few months ago and since then I am lost for words on how absolutely incredible Jane and her experienced team have been. Not only has my Son's skin been transformed but they have helped him rebuild his confidence. Nothing is too much trouble at the Skin To Love. The service is 5* and is 100x better than any central London clinic. The team take great care in explaining procedures and products and give great advice if you are ever unsure about anything. You are never forced to buy anything - again unlike most of these London clinics who push their products. I have recommended this wonderful clinic to all my friends and family and can only thank you for helping my Son feel like himself again! Special thanks to the following ANGELS - Jane, Su & Stella and the wonderful reception team who are outstanding in the welcome they give you!
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your 5 star review of us Sheila. We are grateful you have taken the time to write this review and we are so pleased you and your son feel happy with both the treatment and care we have given you. Your feedback is very important to us so thank you for sharing. Thanks too for all your kind comments which we will pass on to the team. We look forward to seeing you both soon again.

I came in very nervous and unsure of what could be done with my face, but I was made very comfortable right from the start. Jane was very understanding of my needs and her suggestions were great. I can’t wait until I start my treatment.
Jane is an expert in the beauty world, very kind and caring and honest about what treatments are suitable to you, takes time to advise and explain everthing to you. Would always recommendThe Skin To Love Clinic all the staff are wonderful and such a serene and beautiful building.Many thanks
Natalia was extremely knowledgeable and explained the treatments available to me in great depth. I didn’t feel rushed through the 30 minute consultation, in fact, she covered so much that it felt like longer!
Fabulous knowledgeable practitioners in a calm environment
Lovely clinic. Absolutely loved the experience. I booked last minute for a hydra facial as I am going to a wedding this weekend. My therapist was Nicki, she was an excellent professional, super calm and talks you through any questions and concerns. Very friendly yet calming environment. Loved it and will be recommending and coming back!
Brilliant friendly service as always!

What was I ever worried about! From start to finish (reception to nurse) everyone was helpful, patient and happily answered all of my questions. The clinic is lovely with a welcoming and relaxing feel to it. I travelled from Essex and have no regrets. The procedure was done with great care and lots of advice. I can’t fault Nurse Jane and will not hesitate to return or recommend this clinic.

The staff are friendly and professional. The service was excellent, with prompt after-care check-ins
Jane was my consultant. She has a wealth of knowledge, gave a thorough explanation of my skin condition. I am overjoyed with their service.
Fantastic service from Jane and her team.They are very professional, knowledgeable and skilled.I cannot recommend them enough.
Amazing service. The nurse, Emma, was professional and had a very warm and engaging manner. I was having a skin tag removed, every step was clearly explained and I felt comfortable throughout, I was called the next day, Sunday, to check everything was OK - it was. I would not hesitate to recommend.
Emma is a dermatologist at the top of her field. She performed the treatment and expertly removed the lesion from my leg. The histology report came in 10 days and Emma fully explained the results and outcomes in a calm and reassuring manner. Her expertise and knowledge is second to none and I would highly recommend her. It was such a relief to be able to see a dermatology specialist and to receive treatment straight away.

It's always a pleasure coming back for another Hydrafacial with Nikky. I appreciate the extra touch of being greeted by name even before checking in—it makes me feel very special as a customer. The Hydrafacials have truly improved my skin, making it smoother and healthier. The real results started to show after 3-4 sessions. I'll be back, as always, for more sessions. Thank you!
