AGE JET, Advanced Nitrogen Plasma Therapy is one of best non-invasive treatments for skin rejuvenation and skin tightening. The plasma reconstructs the skin's natural architecture and stimulates collagen formation with little to no downtime

Advanced Nitrogen Plasma Therapy is one of best non-invasive treatment for skin rejuvenation and skin tightening. The plasma reconstructs the skin’s natural architecture and stimulates collagen formation. Unlike other laser-based solutions, this rejuvenating treatment is applied to the entire surface of the skin where collagen synthesis and elastogenesis effects are desired. This method does not char the skin during treatment and uses a highly energized gaseous state known as plasma to rejuvenate and revitalize the skin. Plasma is produced inside the hand piece through the combination of nitrogen gas and microwaves. The plasma is emitted in a millisecond pulse to deliver energy to target tissue.

This non-ablative approach causes a physiological response without creating an open wound. Instead, the treated skin creates a natural dressing and optimal healing conditions, reducing the risk of infection. The patient’s epidermis sheds a few days after treatment, revealing a new epidermal layer with dramatically improved tone, texture, and laxity.

Frequently Asked Questions

The AgeJET device converts nitrogen gas into energy, which is then transferred through the handpiece using controlled, ultra-high radiofrequency to penetrate and heat the tissue of the dermis to stimulate new elastin and collagen growth while removing damaged collagen.

AgeJET offers significant improvements when compared to older resurfacing technology. In the past this treatment often caused unwanted side effects such as changes in skin texture, pigmentation, skin whitening, and even scarring. Skin regeneration using PlasmaResurfacing enables results that are more predictable and safer for the skin’s structure.

Plasma Rejuvenation treats the entire structure of your skin. Other technologies target certain parts of your skin as a means of protecting tissue from damage, or because they are designed to treat specific skin damage or aging concerns.Because PlasmaResurfacing treats all of your skin, your wrinkles, elasticity, scars, pigmentation, and more can be simultaneously treated by this one device.

AgeJET never breaks or damages the skin’s surface. Lasers andother treatments work byablatingor vaporizing the surface of the skin to trigger healing responses. CO2 lasers, for example,can have significant complications and downtime. Instead, this unique form of energy allows controlled rapid heating over treatment areas, stimulating collagen remodeling and restoring skin elasticity—all while leaving the overlying epidermis intact.

There’s a three-fold benefit to AgeJET skin resurfacing processof treating without creating open wounds:

  1. There’s less downtime.
  2. Over time, your healthy upper skin layer provides protection as the deeper, treated tissue underneath is entirely remodeled during the physiological process of regeneration.
  3. Non-ablated skin means less chance of infection and a safer, less stressful overall experience.AgeJET is FDA-cleared for general dermatological conditions. Worldwide, over 50,000 of this type of skin treatment have been performed in a span of ten years, and overthirty Institutional Review Board independent clinical studies have been completed.

    Another major advantage of AgeJET treatments is that discomfort and pain are notably reduced and there is a shorter recovery period, typically between twoto ten days, depending on the intensity of the treatment.This treatment does not require the use of anesthetic for treatments.


We recommend all of our resurfacing patients use Alastin Skincare’sProcedure Enhancement System 14-30 days before your treatment. Pre-treating with this system will clear non-functioning collagen and impurities and prepare your skin for optimal results. Continuing Alastin after treatment will minimize downtime and elevate results.

An average full-face treatment is approximately 25 minutes. Treatments times may vary if you're targeting specific areas of the face or body.

2 weeks prior to the treatment

  • Avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning for at least two weeks prior to treatment.
  • Use a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) 30+ zinc oxide or titanium diocide-based sunblock.
  • This should be applied thoroughly to all areas intended for treatment.
  • Additional sun protective measures such as a wide brimmed hat, sunglasses and su protective clothing will help to protect your skin before and following your treatment.


1 week prior to the treatment
  • Exfoliates (scrubs, washes and other treatments that remove the outermost part of the skin) should not be used in the week prior to treatment
  • If you just started using topical treat tretinonins, such as cosmetics containing Retin A, in the last month, you will be advised to discontinue use.

Your treatment skin may feel warm like a sunburn for several hours. Prior to leaving the physician's office, a layer of petroleum jelly such as Vaseline will be applied to your treated skin. Treated skin be fragile. Treat it gently. Your skin will be pink to red, it is important not to pick at your skin during the process. Keep it moist with petroleum jelly.

What will my skin look like?
None of your skin will be removed during the treatment but depending on the type of treatment you have received; the outer layer of treated skin may eventually peel or flake. Your physician will tell you when you should expect to see this happen.

AgeJet releases energy in a series of precisely controlled pulses. The heat gnerated by the handpiece penetrates deeply, leaving the epidermis completely intact.

AgeJet triggers a neocollagenesis process which continues up to a year after treatment. Treatment results in natural, healthy, firmer, younger, lustrous skin. Since we continue to age every year, we recommend that you follow a skin care regimen and a maintenance treatment annually.

There is no significant downtime with AgeJet™. Light erythema, or redness, is expected after the treatment and should subside within 3 days. Some patients have reported flaking of the skin or dryness; however, this is dependent upon the intensity of the treatment.

After treatment what should I do? What will my skin look like?
None of your skin will be removed during treatment but depending on the type of treatment you have received,the outer layer of treated skin may eventually peel or flake. Your provider will tell you when you should expect to see this happen. Your skin will appear pink to red in color. This normal post procedure condition is called erythema. Your provider will advise your on how long this expected to last.

The First 24 hours

  • Keep a thin layer of moisturizer (Epionce post care kit (medical barrier cream or enriched forming mask) or Skin Nectar) on your skin at all times and reapply as needed to avoid the skin drying out. This will help your skin to heal and will help you to leave your skin alone.
  • Protect your skin from sun exposure.
  • Follow the correct course of medication if one has been prescribed by your physician.
  • Always wash your hands thoroughly using antibacterial soap before touching treated areas or when applying a topical agent.
  • Your treated skin must be protected continuously for the first 24 hours. This must not be cleaned off early.

Avoid heat - excessive room heater, increase in body temperature, or sauna can lead to blistering.

Day 2 to 4 - Before complete peeling or flaking

  • Contact your provider immediately if you have continued pain, blistering, oozing or concerns about itching in the treated area.
  • After the first 24 hoursthe Alastin Soothe, protect and recovery balm, Epionce Firming Mask(or equivalent, Aquaphor) may be removed by showering the upturned face in warm water.
  • As an alternative to showering, use a mild cleanser such as Epionce Milky lotion cleanser or Alastin gentle cleanser 1-3 times per day. Apply the skin cleanser by dabbing or patting and then rinse gently.
  • It is important that the old Balm or Aquaphor (if used) is thoroughly but gently removed in order to help prevent infection.
  • Try to sleep on yourback following treatment of the face. Using extra pillows will encourage sleeping on your back.
  • Change the pillowcase daily until you have healed. Use clean sheets and nighttime wear when you have been treated on your body. “Terrycloth” or “fluffy” pillow covers. or sheets are not recommended as these may absorb the skincare applied to the skin.
  • Avoid unintentional touching of the treated areas such as rubbing your eyes.
  • Continue applying recommended skin care until your skin has flaked or peeled, usually 2 to 5 days after treatment.
  • The skin may darken from pink or red to a “bronzed” like appearance 3 to 5 days after treatment. This is likely with high energy procedures. This will peel or flake off.
  • It is important that the treated skin is left in place until it is ready to peel or flake. DO NOT PICK! Picking may result in an infection or scar.
  • The treated skin will generally peel or flake within 2 to 5 days. The old skin will come off as you wash your face. It may be difficult to see flaking.
  • As your skin peels or flakes there may be some areas that are lighter or darker. This should even out over time.

After Peeling or Flaking

  • You can stop using the post care kit when peeling or flaking is complete.
  • After skin has peeled or flaked it is important to resume the use of a mineral, zinc oxide or titanium dioxide based SPF 30+ sunblock to decrease the possibility of hyperpigmentation (darkening that is not like a tan) occurring as your healed skin is exposed to sunlight. You may wish to resume use of a high quality, mild moisturizer as well. Check with your provider for recommendations.
  • New skin will have formed underneath the layer of treated skin that peels or flakes. Your new skin will be fragile and must be treated gently.
  • It is normal for the skin to have lighter and darker areas in the first few weeks as it heals. These are most often temporary and fade quickly, though in rare circumstances this can take up to 6 months. It is very rare for any pigment changes to continue beyond this time. You should contact your physician if you have pigment changes that concern you.

Return to Make-Up or Shaving and Activities
It will generally be 2 to 10 days after treatment before you can apply make-up or shave. This will depend on if you had a low energy or high energy procedure. Ask your physician when you can return to your activities.

Skin reactions -although rare, the following skin reactions may occur:

  • You may have temporary swelling (sleeping on an additional pillow may help).
  • Mild acne flare and/or milia (tiny white bumps) may occur. This should resolve on its own.
  • Contact dermatitis is a localized skin irritation due to use of topical products or contact with substances that irritate your skin. Discuss with your physician for proper care.
  • Petechiae are small red or red-blue spots that make up a rash. Although not common, it may appear during healing and continue for several weeks and should clear without treatment.

Call your physician immediately if:

  • Your skin starts to peel or flake earlier than expected. Small areas may peel at day 1-2 but in general for higher energy treatments the skin will usually start to peel or flake 3 to 5 days after treatment.
  • You experience cold sores.
  • You get isolated patches of blisters, oozing, residual redness or areas slow to heal.
  • You experience signs of infection (increased itching, pain, swelling, skin is warm to touch , pus or oozing).
  • You have any post-treatment concerns including your response to skin care and medications.
  • You are unsure of what to do as your skin heals.
