Plasma arch treatment: everything you need to know about non-surgical skin correction and precision dermatology

KEIT Day Hospital has clinical facilities dedicated to aesthetic medicine treatments, organised to ensure appropriate standards of hygiene, procedural precision and patient comfort.
For plasma arch treatment, the doctor assesses the size, location and characteristics of the areas requiring correction, using devices that generate a micro-plasma arch to produce a controlled thermal effect on the skin surface. The intensity and distribution of the application points are determined according to the type of treatment and the sensitivity of the affected area.
The organisation of the clinical facilities and the availability of medical resources allow the different stages of the procedure to be managed, from skin preparation to protection of the treated area and observation immediately afterwards.

KEIT Day Hospital works with medical professionals experienced in aesthetic medicine, skin anatomy and the use of devices for superficial thermal treatments. For plasma arch treatment, knowledge of skin characteristics and surrounding anatomical structures is essential for selecting lesions suitable for treatment, adjusting energy application and limiting the involvement of healthy tissues.
The procedure is personalised according to the nature of the imperfection, skin thickness and anatomical location, with particular attention to delicate areas such as the eyelids and perioral region.
An additional advantage is the presence of a multidisciplinary medical team within KEIT Day Hospital, allowing specialists in dermatology or other medical disciplines to be involved when additional diagnostic assessments or specific medical assistance are required.

Before plasma arch treatment, the doctor carries out an individual assessment of skin characteristics, the nature of the lesions, their anatomical location and the patient's expectations. The consultation includes taking a medical history, with particular attention to dermatological conditions, medications being taken, previous treatments, a tendency to develop abnormal scars, skin infections and possible contraindications.
The preliminary assessment makes it possible to distinguish lesions that appear benign from those requiring further diagnostic evaluation. For suspicious or pigmented lesions, an appropriate dermatological assessment is essential before considering any destructive treatment, as vaporisation may prevent subsequent histological examination of the tissue.
The treatment plan is determined according to the clinical indication, the extent of the area and the expected skin response. When plasma arch treatment is not the most appropriate solution, the doctor assesses the available alternatives and discusses their limitations with the patient.

KEIT Day Hospital follows hygiene and infection prevention protocols that include disinfecting clinical areas, skin antisepsis and the proper handling of instruments used during treatments. For plasma arch treatment, particular attention is paid to skin preparation, applicator hygiene and protection of the surrounding areas.
Devices are used according to the manufacturer's instructions, with appropriate checks of operating conditions and maintenance procedures. Accessories that come into contact with the patient are managed using single-use materials or reprocessing procedures compatible with the characteristics of the instrument.
These checks contribute to the safety, hygiene and proper performance of the treatment.

Plasma arch treatment is a non-surgical procedure that produces controlled thermal micro-injuries on the skin surface. It is generally performed with topical anaesthesia when indicated. Appropriate patient selection and energy adjustment are essential for limiting the risk of tissue damage.
In addition to temporary effects such as redness, swelling, tenderness and the formation of small scabs, burns, infections, pigmentation changes, scarring or delayed healing may occur. In periocular areas, specific precautions are necessary to protect the eyes and reduce the risk of local complications.
Prompt recognition of abnormal reactions and activation of appropriate medical protocols are essential for managing any complications.
One of KEIT Day Hospital's distinguishing features is the availability of hospital infrastructure and a multidisciplinary medical team. The facility has three equipped operating theatres, specialists in anaesthesia and intensive care, equipment for monitoring vital signs, emergency management devices and a postoperative recovery room. These resources provide additional medical support, alongside the specific protocols required to manage complications associated with thermal skin treatments.

At KEIT Day Hospital, patient care continues after plasma arch treatment has been completed. Patients receive personalised instructions on cleaning the treated area, protecting the scabs, using prescribed dressings and recognising warning signs that require medical assessment.
Follow-up is determined according to the patient's individual response and the nature of the procedure. Follow-up appointments allow the doctor to assess skin healing, the reduction of redness, the possible presence of pigmentation changes and the result achieved. When indicated, the doctor may schedule further assessments before considering another session.
For international patients, care may also continue remotely through communication with medical staff and guidance on necessary follow-up appointments. KEIT Day Hospital also provides an emergency contact number, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

KEIT Day Hospital places particular emphasis on transparent information and treatment documentation. Before plasma arch treatment, patients receive explanations about the areas to be treated, the technique used, expected benefits, healing times, potential risks and the possible need for additional sessions.
Clinical documentation records the location and characteristics of the lesions treated, relevant operating parameters and any skin reactions, allowing the progress of healing to be monitored. When appropriate and with the patient's consent, photographic documentation is taken to compare the initial appearance with the treatment result. The informed consent form, treatment quotation and administrative documentation also allow patients to understand the clinical and financial aspects of the procedure before undergoing treatment.
