NeoGen Plasma Skin Regeneration is transforming the way we approach skin rejuvenation, especially for patients who want the benefits of laser skin resurfacing without the risks or extended downtime. At Aesthetics MD in Newport Beach, we offer the NeoGen Lift to address a wide range of skin concerns like fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, and skin laxity with a recovery process that is shorter, more predictable, and safe for more skin types.
But what does recovery from NeoGen Plasma actually look like? Here’s what to expect from the moment your treatment ends through the stages of healing and long-term transformation.
What Makes NeoGen Recovery Different?
Unlike ablative lasers that remove the top layers of skin, NeoGen Plasma works by delivering nitrogen-based plasma energy without direct contact. The top layer of skin stays intact and acts as a natural barrier while deeper tissues heal and regenerate. This creates a more comfortable healing experience with a lower risk of hyperpigmentation, contact dermatitis, or infection.
Other benefits include:
- Safe for Fitzpatrick skin types I to IV
- Ideal for delicate areas like the upper and lower eyelids
- Effective for treating skin tone, texture, and laxity
- A non-invasive alternative to plastic surgery
Your NeoGen Recovery Timeline
Recovery varies based on the treatment area, your treatment protocol, and the energy level used. Here’s a general guide for what most patients can expect.
Day 0 (Immediately After Treatment)
Your skin may feel warm, tight, or slightly swollen. The area will appear flushed or bronze depending on energy level. You will leave with clear post-treatment instructions, including when to apply barrier cream and how to cleanse your skin gently.
Nitrous oxide or topical anesthetics are often used during the procedure to keep you comfortable.
Days 1 to 3
Your skin will develop a slightly darker appearance, almost like a bronzed sunburn. This is a normal part of the skin regeneration process and protects the healing tissue underneath. Avoid picking, scrubbing, or applying makeup during this stage.
You may feel tightness and mild itching. We recommend staying hydrated, keeping the area moisturized, and avoiding sun exposure.
Days 4 to 7
Depending on the intensity of your treatment, you may experience peeling or light flaking. Redness may persist but typically fades as new skin forms. At this point, many patients notice early improvements in skin texture and brightness.
For enhanced results and reduced healing time, we often pair NeoGen Lift with CellSound therapy and CO2Lift masks to hydrate and accelerate recovery. These additions are available exclusively through our NeoGen Lift protocol.
Tips for a Smooth Recovery
- Avoid sun exposure and apply SPF 30+ daily
- Use only approved products such as hyaluronic acid or vitamin C serum if recommended
- Avoid heat, sweating, and exercise for several days
- Stay hydrated and support your skin from within
- Follow all instructions from your treatment coordinator for optimal results
When Will You See Results?
NeoGen Plasma works deep within the skin to stimulate collagen production, fibroblast regeneration, and elastin restructuring. While surface healing happens quickly, your results continue to improve for weeks and even months after the procedure.
- Week 1 to 2: Initial healing and reduction in redness
- Week 3 to 6: Visible improvement in fine lines, enlarged pores, and age spots
- 3 to 6 months: Ongoing improvement in dermal elasticity, skin tone, and tightening
With a custom plan and good skincare, your results can last well beyond the initial healing window.
