At Aesthetics MD in Newport Beach, one of the most common questions we hear about NeoGen Plasma Skin Regeneration is: “What’s the downtime like?” Patients love the idea of a non-surgical facelift that targets fine lines, sun damage, and skin laxity, but naturally want to know how long it will take to recover and get back to their routine.
The good news? NeoGen PSR (Plasma Skin Regeneration) offers a customizable recovery period based on your treatment intensity and skincare goals.
Whether you’re looking for a quick refresh or deeper collagen remodelling, here’s what to expect during and after your NeoGen Lift.
What Is NeoGen PSR?
NeoGen PSR uses nitrogen plasma energy to deliver thermal heat just beneath the surface of your skin, stimulating fibroblast regeneration, collagen production, and elastin restructuring. Unlike ablative laser treatments that vaporize the skin’s surface, NeoGen Plasma keeps the outer layer intact, acting like a natural “bandage” that supports the healing process while deep changes occur below.
This technology is ideal for treating age spots, acne scars, enlarged pores, drooping eyelids, and uneven skin tone, with minimal disruption and impressive results.
What Affects Downtime After NeoGen Plasma?
The healing time after a NeoGen treatment depends on:
- Treatment intensity (low vs. high energy)
- Treatment area (face, neck, eyelids, or full face)
- Skin concerns (like sun damage, skin texture, or acne scarring)
- Post-treatment care and adherence to aftercare instructions
At NeoGen Lift, we customize your treatment protocol to your desired outcome. Here’s what recovery may look like across the spectrum.
Low-Energy NeoGen Treatments: Minimal Downtime
Low-energy NeoGen is our “lunchtime lift” for a reason. These treatments:
- Are comfortable with topical anaesthetics
- May cause redness or mild flaking for 2–3 days
- Can often be done in a series of sessions
- Deliver gradual improvement in skin tone, fine lines, and dermal elasticity
This is ideal for patients with mild sun damage, early aging signs, or those seeking maintenance between other procedures like photofacial BBL or radiofrequency energy facials.
Mid to High-Energy NeoGen Treatments: Moderate Downtime, Big Results
Higher-intensity NeoGen Plasma treatments go deeper, triggering more powerful collagen trio (Type I, II, and IV) production and skin resurfacing. These treatments:
- Require 5–10 days of visible healing depending on your skin type
- Result in bronzing, peeling, and tightness as the skin regenerates
- Often show dramatic results for acne scars, deep wrinkles, and skin laxity
Some patients compare this to the downtime of a mild chemical peel or fractional laser, but with no open wounds, no bleeding, and less risk of pigmentation changes, especially in sensitive areas like the upper and lower eyelids.
Post-Treatment Care: Healing for Long-Term Results
Whether your treatment was light or intensive, post-procedure care is crucial. Your provider will walk you through the complete recovery process, which includes:
- Applying topical barrier creams and adjusting your skincare routine
- Avoiding UV exposure and applying broad-spectrum sunscreen
- Staying away from retinoids and exfoliants for 3–7 days
- Using cool compresses or ultrasound gel for comfort
You may experience tightness, peeling, or a sunburn-like sensation. These are all signs that skin regeneration is happening beneath the surface.
Follow-Up Treatments for Lasting Skin Rejuvenation
NeoGen PSR can be performed as:
- A single, high-energy treatment with longer downtime and long-lasting effects
- A series of low-energy treatments spaced weeks apart, with minimal downtime
Your provider at NeoGen Lift will personalize your treatment plan based on your skin goals, whether that’s tightening, rejuvenation, or improving skin concerns like actinic keratoses, pigmented lesions, or dark circles.
