How does AgeJET work?

AgeJET is an advanced form of plasma skin therapy. It uses nitrogen plasma to stimulate natural cell regeneration deep within your skin in a non-ablative approach, without any physical injury to the skin’s surface. Plasma thermal energy is administered in controlled pulses across the treated area, reaching the entire dermal structure.

AgeJET’s plasma energy does not burn or blister the outer layer of your skin, known as the epidermis. A few days after treatment, this will shed, revealing new firmer and smoother skin with a dramatically improved tone, texture and tightness. Due to the non-ablative nature of the treatment, AgeJET can even be used to treat highly delicate areas of skin, such as the entire area around the eye.

    • Avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning
    • Use an SPF 30+ zinc oxide or titanium dioxide 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 sun protective clothing will help to protect your skin before and following your treatment.
  • 1 week prior to treatment
    • Exfoliants (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 have just started using topical tretinoins such as cosmetics containing Retinol A, in the last month, you will be advised to discontinue use
    • Moisturise either by using a quality non-irritating and unperfumed moisturiser day and night, or a water-based masque daily (we can recommend skincare products from Image skincare should you need additional products)

FAQs

AgeJET is an effective skin tightening method as it channels energy to the skin’s tissue. This energy is converted into heat to penetrate easily and painlessly into the deeper layers of the skin and stimulate the natural processes of cell regeneration. The heat stimulates the fibre blasts to produce new collagen and elastin, and at the same time causing existing collagen fibres to contract.

Aside from improving skin quality, texture, colour and tone, treatments with the AgeJet can address and treat a number of common skin concerns. The AgeJet can treat all skin conditions that require rejuvenation including acne & acne scarring, rosacea, ageing, fine lines, wrinkles, superficial pigmentation, scarring, large pores, redness and overall resurfacing. AgeJet can also be used to add subtle volume to lips, as an alternative to lip fillers, and around the eyes as we are able to treat up to both the lower and upper lash lines when targeting eye area concerns.

Prior to treatment, you will be assessed to understand your desired outcome and treatment concerns along with your acceptance of any of downtime. From this, the correct energy level can be selected subject to skin condition, skin type and extent of correction required.

Depending on the energy level, a hydrating sheet mask may be applied to the area 20-30 minutes prior to starting the AgeJet treatment, as this helps to aid the skins hydration prior treatment.

You may possibility leave our clinic with pink or red skin, that feels a bit like sunburn, protected by a layer of growth factor ampoules and serum. Additional actives may be applied for the treatment of pigmentation, acne & photo-ageing to aid results.

Depending on the strength of the treatment, and how well your skin is previously conditioned, the downtime will vary. You may see a reddening or bronzing effect to the treated areas start to appear, and some dryness or shedding of the skin which will disappear over the course of the next 7 days. It is typical for the patient to experience four to ten days of mild to moderate social downtime with most patients able to return to normal activities the day of or day after treatment.

Treatment times will vary according to the number of areas and energy level, this will be discussed within an initial consultation but can vary from 45 minutes to 90 minutes.

AgeJet treatments can be tailored to suit your individual needs as the energy level can be tailored to Low, Medium and High levels. Whilst single sessions of AgeJet can be taken, with most cases, a course of 3 treatments is recommend for Low-Medium energy treatments, with a single session of high energy. The number of recommend sessions will vary for each patient.

Treatments with the AgeJet are highly customisable to easily suit all skin types.

Before your treatment we require all patients to have a consultation to determine your suitability for the treatment. This will be completed in advance of booking a full treatment, as if required, we can also perform a patch test. We will never recommend a treatment if we deem it to be unsuitable or dangerous for you and your skin.

Following a consultation and upon booking an AgeJet treatment, some pre and post care will be given to you or emailed to you. Please ensure this is read in depth as it is imperative that the correct routine is followed so achieve optimum results.

Following your treatment, over the next several weeks to a month, the treated area will continuously develop smoother, firmer, and more rejuvenated skin. As this treatment is bespoke on a patient-to-patient basis, specific results may vary in length.

Results of AgeJet treatment will usually last between 6-9 months, however this can be dependent on lifestyle and maintenance.

To increase the longevity of your results, we recommend a combination of regular clinic visits to track progress and results. We also recommend adopting a good skincare routine and keeping a high level of hydration. We offer Image Skincare products and supplements from Hush & Hush at Skin Southwest, and can recommend pre and post treatment products to suit your aftercare needs.

AgeJET treatment is non-surgical and non-invasive, so the downtime needed after the procedure is minimal. You can leave the clinic safely once your treatment is complete, and your skin does not scab or scar like with laser treatment.

The number of AgeJET treatment needed varies depending on your individual skin, the area being treated and the results you are hoping to achieve. During your initial consultation, we will discuss the treatment with you in detail, including the number of treatments you are likely to need.

AgeJET is a safe and effective treatment when administered by a highly trained and qualified professional. The plasma energy is delivered deep into your skin, leaving the outer epidermis intact. This helps reduce the risk of infection and provides protection to your skin while it heals and rejuvenates.

AgeJET should not be painful, with minimal discomfort. It is non-invasive and non-ablative, and the device is more comfortable than other laser plasma treatments. As the top surface of your skin is not broken, the plasma energy can be delivered painlessly into the deeper layers to begin the process of cell regeneration.
