What will a Plasma Skin Lift treatment involve?
Your skin care practitioner will complete a detailed consultation to establish your skin type, condition, and your improvement goals, all of which will determine the most suitable treatment and planning to suit you.

A consultation is essential prior to taking any of the Plasma Skin Corrector treatments.
Commencing the application of the topical anesthetic cream the skin is sterilised, then the Plasma is applied.

The Plasma energy is delivered to the skin via the Plasma pen device, the Plasma arc instantly vaporises the unwanted skin and the surrounding vicinity promoting a rapid tightening.
Specific wound healing products applied to the area will complete the treatment.
Generally each treatment can take between 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the size of the area to be treated and response to anesthetic cream.

Why have the procedure?
This treatment is suitable for the Face, Eyes, Neck, Chest, Hands and Body.

The Plasma Skin Lift and Corrector treatments produce outstanding results in the treatment of:
•    Fine Lines around the eyes such as crows feet
•    Tightening loose skin and lifting the upper eye lids
•    Reducing eye bags
•    Glabella lifting (area that run between the eyebrows)
•    Reducing smokers lines around the mouth
•    Reducing Nasolabial folds (lines that run from the nose to mouth)
•    Tightening the skin on the neck and smoothing out crease lines
•    Tightening the skin on the chest/décolletage
•    Removing Milia
•    Removing Skin Tags
•    Minimising  moles and pigmentation (sun damage, age spots, freckles)
•    Improving Scar tissue

Does it hurt?
Generally no pain is felt as a topical anesthetic cream is applied to the area prior to the Plasma; however you may experience some heat discomfort. Care is taken to make it as comfortable as possible.

How many treatments do I need?
The number of treatments necessary to obtain the desired results depends on the type of treatment and the size of the area treated. The minimum period between treatments is 8 to 12 weeks. Your practitioner may extend this period depending on your individual reaction to the treatment and your skin type accordingly.

How quickly will I see the results?
Depending on which treatment procedure you undertake will determine the result.
Post skin tightening, lifting and wrinkle procedures the skin will instantly become taut and a grid of red dots on the skin is visible on the areas where the plasma has been applied. This is followed by temporary swelling which can last 2-3 days before subsiding; this is the normal response to the injury incurred and is a result of the body’s natural defense system.
I can take from 3 to 10 days for the scabs to naturally disperse; once the skin has healed the results can be seen immediately and will become more visible over the following weeks.
A single milia or skin tag removal would produce minimal skin reaction.

How long will the results last?
Once the desired results have been achieved they can last; however this depends on many factors, such as how one cares for the skin post treatment, diet, stress, hormone influences, lifestyle.
A maintenance session is required when the skin naturally ages again.
Skin tags would only need re treating if they re-grow.

Depending on the intensity of the treatment red dots and swelling may appear in the areas of the skin treated, and can feel sensitive.

It is very important to follow the instructions provided by your practitioner:

Treat the skin as a hyper-sensitive skin.

Only use the products advised by your practitioner.

Keep the area dry.

Do not cool the area.

Do not have any heat treatments such as sauna or steam.

Do not swim or exercise until the skin appears completely calm.

Do not take any anti-inflammatory medication for the next 72 hours to ensure you receive optimum results.

DO NOT use Bepanthenol/Bepanthen or anything similar

Do not rub, wipe or pick the scabs

Take Arnica 6c’ pillules  to treat swelling

Do not exposure the area treated to the sun, this treatment can bring the risk of the skin developing hyper-pigmentation if exposed to UV light.

Use an SPF 50 daily.

For a healthier skin your skin care practitioner will guide you with a personlised home care skin regime.

Emporium Practitioner:
Angela Taffinder – Senior Aesthetician

Angela is simply the best.
She has completely turned around my skin – I really couldn’t be happier with the results. Angela has so much experience, and so much advice – there are always different options and avenues to explore.
I really couldn’t recommend more

Alexandra

Angela is simply the best. I’ve been one of her clients for nearly 7 years and I can’t recommend her more highly. She has tailor made me a bespoke milia removal/ face rejuvenation treatment and I wouldn’t be without it! She has so much experience and knowledge and never fails to work her magic. Her treatments are so much more than your bog standard facial, she knows exactly what your skin needs and explains everything along the way. I promise you won’t find any one better.

Imogen

Angela has been caring for my skin for the last 25 years. Her treatments are bespoke, addressing whatever is currently going on with my skin. I have a monthly triple treatment which seems to be exactly what my skin needs at the moment. During lockdown, my skin missed her amazing treatments & careful attention.

Leila

I went in having let my milia run riot during lockdown and I was super impressed to leave the treatment not only without a mark but with totally revived skin after the facial. I also love that there is no “paint by numbers” approach to the treatment, you feel that you’re getting an experience tailored to your skin’s needs. I have and would continue to recommend.

Jade

I have been going to Angela for years and she really knows my skin and what treatments to give … I totally trust her and have recommended her to many of my friends who also love her . HIGHLY RECOMMENDED XXX

Hannah

Transformed my acne!
I have been coming to Emporium Treatments for almost a year and each time I leave, I’m even more in love with my skin. When I had my initial treatment with Angela, my skin was suffering from active acne and scarring. Angela provided a tailored treatment plan for myself, explaining every step clearly and since then my skin has improved dramatically. She has really helped with my overall confidence. I would highly recommend.

Chantelle

Angela always provides the best service, no matter which of the many treatments you choose. Booking is a breeze, and punctuality is proven. My chosen treatment was conducted quickly, professionally, and thoroughly. The results consistently exceed my expectations! I always look forward to my next appointment.

Lauren

Angela at Emporium is amazing!
I have recurring milia so I’m constantly coming to see her for extractions. Before my first visit she answered all of my questions and made me feel like she really cared before I’d even met her.
I have hundreds of milia and every session she has the patience of a saint, removing each one by hand.
It’s a bit of a painful procedure but she’s so lovely and friendly that I feel at ease the second I step through the door and she always works her magic quickly and carefully, using lots of cooling and soothing aftercare to help calm down my skin.
Over the years, she’s put so much time in to helping me work out what’s causing them and how to prevent future flare ups.
I have been to other places for milia removal in the past but Angela is by far the best (and more reasonably priced than some of the bigger companies). I wouldn’t even dream of going anywhere else now.

Sian

Emporium is my go to for facial treatments – Angela is one of London’s best kept secrets. Her technique is superb, far beyond what any branded beauty salon can do.

Anna Marie

I have been going to Angela (Emporium) around 6 years now and she always manages to clear my skin and keep me looking youthful with her up to date advance treatments,My personal favourite is the Green peel and Microneedling facial as well as various body treatments I have had here to .I always leave with a glow and get compliments highly reccomend x

Carmel

Five-star experience!
Couldn’t recommend Angela (Emporium) more highly! I’ve be going for bespoke facials for a number of years and have always felt a truly pampered. The facials are tailored to your skin type and she is *the best* at milia removal. Angela has always been able to accommodate appointments around my work schedule, and at short notice, and I’ve been more than happy to recommend to friends.

James

I’ve been going to Angela for the last 25/30 years. In between I’ve tried other places and practitioners but always end up going back to Emporium. Angela understands my skin, right from the beginning when I had acne and pigmentation to now where my skin needs are different. I appreciate her experience and knowledge, my skin looks and feels great. Highly recommend.

Kalyan

Angela’s facials have literally transformed my skin. I met Angela back in October last year, and my only regret is not going to see her sooner. My skin was ruined by a couple of badly chosen laser treatments earlier in the year and after my first facial with Angela I felt so much better about myself, she cleared my skin completely and made me love it again! I think I’m a little addicted to her treatments now, she knows a lot about skin care and tailors the facial to exactly what your skin needs. I’m so happy to have found her. 5/5 review from me!

Aneke

Excellent Milia Removal
Attended Emporium Treatment Clinic for milia removal. Great experience – friendly, well-priced and effective. Will definitely be recommending to friends.

Jamie

Angela is a fantastic practitioner and a lovely person. I’ve had many successful facials and treatments with her over the past few years. I trust her advice completely. She’s never pushed any treatments or products, but is always open to suggesting new solutions.
