Plasma Gun

A polarizing plasma generator with three diffusion modes, hot, cold and hybrid.

What it treats

Applications

  • Skin rejuvenation.
  • Anti-ageing effect on wrinkles, stretch marks, scar marks and light to moderate skin imperfections, an effect AAMS publishes for Plasma Gun.
  • Removal of skin roughness such as warts, melanocytic nevus and pendulum fibroids, the hot tip's main intended use per AAMS.
  • Cleansing, healing and regenerating effects from cold plasma, absorbed by the skin without pain or heat sensation, per AAMS.
  • Plasmaporation: cold plasma used for the penetration of active products, a use AAMS names for Plasma Gun.
The mechanism

How it works

Plasma Gun applies three interchangeable tips across a single large application surface. In hot mode, a patented tip generates a micro-arc by ionising the ambient air, and AAMS states the resulting plasma stimulates production of collagen, elastin and fibroblasts; AAMS reserves this tip for trained and qualified physicians. In cold mode, a patented DBD C tip is built with specific materials that conserve the temperature it generates, so the plasma energy diffuses over a wide area and the skin absorbs it without pain or heat sensation. In hybrid mode, the patented DBD H tip, which AAMS marks with the same physician-only restriction as the hot tip, is applied in direct contact with the skin: its Dielectric Barrier Discharge technology holds the plasma at a constant distance from the skin, and AAMS's Hybrid Mode program electronically sets the exact dose delivered at each point for a standardised, homogeneous intensity.

Warranty

Two years, AAMS's manufacturer warranty

Suggested protocol, redness and discomfort

1 minute per application, once a day, for 10 days, with a moisturising cream. AAMS flags this as observed in an experimental setting, without medical commitment.

Suggested protocol, sensitivity and dryness

5 minutes per application, once a day, for 11 days, with a moisturising cream. AAMS flags this as observed in an experimental setting, without medical commitment.

Why this system

Three diffusion modes

Hot, cold and hybrid, through AAMS's patented DBD C cold tip and DBD H hybrid tip.

Plasmaporation for active-product penetration

A large application surface for facial work.

The hot and hybrid tips are restricted to trained physicians

AAMS puts the same physician-only note on its hot plasma mode and on the DBD H tip used in hybrid mode, and states that handling that tip carries inherent risks.

A two-year warranty

AAMS publishes it as a manufacturer's warranty, and states that the same cover runs across all its ranges.

The detail

What to know

Practice value

AAMS's own published uses, attributed to AAMS: non-surgical skin clean-up, restructuring, improvement or repair; anti-ageing treatment of wrinkles, stretch marks and scars; light to moderate skin imperfections; removal of skin roughness such as warts, melanocytic nevus and pendulum fibroids; cleansing, healing and regenerating effects.

What are Plasma Gun's three diffusion modes?

Hot, cold and hybrid.

Who can use the hot and hybrid tips?

AAMS reserves both for trained and qualified physicians. The same note covers its hot plasma mode and the DBD H tip used in hybrid mode.

What warranty does Plasma Gun carry?

Two years.

What uses does AAMS publish for Plasma Gun?

Non-surgical skin clean-up, restructuring, improvement or repair; anti-ageing treatment of wrinkles, stretch marks and scars; light to moderate skin imperfections; removal of skin roughness such as warts, melanocytic nevus and pendulum fibroids; cleansing, healing and regenerating effects.

What is plasma?

AAMS describes it as the fourth state of matter, alongside liquid, solid and gas: a partially or fully ionised material made of neutral particles, positive ions and negative electrons.

What does a patient feel during a cold-plasma session?

AAMS describes the energy as instantly perceptible: seen as purple light in the dark, heard as a high-pitched sound, felt as a slight tingling sensation, and smelled as ozone or coin.
