Imagine a treatment so gentle you barely feel it, yet so powerful it can transform your skin from within. A therapy that destroys acne-causing bacteria, stimulates collagen production, and reduces inflammation—all without pain, needles, or downtime. This isn't science fiction. This is cold plasma treatment, and it's changing the way we approach skin health in Durban. Using the advanced Platon Ultra device, this revolutionary treatment harnesses the power of cold atmospheric plasma to rejuvenate, heal, and restore your skin—naturally and safely. Whether you're struggling with stubborn acne, dealing with rosacea flare-ups, or noticing your skin has lost its youthful radiance, cold plasma therapy offers a genuinely innovative solution that addresses these concerns at their source, helping you achieve the clear, confident, radiant skin you deserve.
Cold atmospheric plasma represents the fourth state of matter, alongside solid, liquid, and gas. It's created when atmospheric gases—primarily oxygen and nitrogen from the air around us—are energized by a controlled electrical field. The result is a stream of charged particles, ions, and reactive species that work together to create profound beneficial effects on your skin.
What makes cold plasma so special? Unlike traditional plasma (think lightning or the sun), cold atmospheric plasma operates at a comfortable temperature of just 35-40°C. That's barely warmer than your body temperature, which means it's completely safe to touch and causes zero thermal damage to your skin.
At The Skin and Laser Clinic, we use the Platon Ultra Plasma Device—a professional aesthetic device that represents the cutting edge of cold plasma technology. This sophisticated medical-grade system transforms the air between the treatment tip and your skin into non-thermal plasma at a precisely controlled voltage of 7,200-8,800Vp-p. The technology features three interchangeable ceramic tips, each designed to treat different areas and skin concerns with optimal conductivity and safety. What truly sets it apart is its adjustable plasma intensity, with five distinct levels that can be customized to your skin's sensitivity and your specific treatment goals.
When cold atmospheric plasma touches your skin, something remarkable happens. The plasma generates reactive oxygen and nitrogen species—a sophisticated cocktail of molecules that trigger multiple beneficial processes simultaneously. It destroys harmful bacteria, fungi, and viruses by disrupting their cell walls. Studies show that just two minutes of treatment can reduce bacterial load by up to 40%, regardless of the bacterial species. The plasma also activates your skin cells and stimulates the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid—the three proteins responsible for keeping your skin firm, plump, and youthful. Perhaps most exciting, research shows cold plasma can boost the absorption of active skincare ingredients by up to 120 times in the first 12 hours after treatment, making it an incredible amplifier for your skincare regimen.
Cold plasma therapy addresses your skin concerns from multiple angles simultaneously, creating transformation that's both visible and lasting.
Acne and Oily Skin Relief: If you've been battling acne, cold plasma therapy addresses it from multiple angles. The treatment destroys P. acnes bacteria—the primary culprit behind inflammatory acne—quickly and effectively. Unlike antibiotics that bacteria can develop resistance to, plasma's antibacterial action remains consistently powerful. The treatment also helps balance sebum production, addressing one of acne's root causes rather than just treating surface symptoms. Many clients report seeing visible improvements in their active breakouts after just one or two treatments—that's not just clearer skin, that's renewed confidence to face the world without worrying about your complexion.
Rosacea and Inflammatory Skin Conditions: For those dealing with rosacea, eczema, atopic dermatitis, or seborrhea, cold plasma offers gentle yet effective relief. The treatment's anti-inflammatory properties help calm flare-ups, reduce redness, and soothe uncomfortable symptoms without harsh side effects. Because cold plasma is non-thermal and non-ablative, it's remarkably gentle—making it ideal for sensitive, reactive skin that doesn't tolerate aggressive treatments well. You can finally find relief without fear of making your condition worse.
Natural Anti-Aging Results: By naturally ramping up your skin's production of collagen and elastin, cold plasma helps restore the firmness, plumpness, and resilience that define youthful skin. The results develop gradually over the weeks following treatment, creating improvement that looks natural—like you've simply become a more refreshed, radiant version of yourself. Because you're stimulating your own collagen production rather than injecting foreign substances, the results integrate seamlessly with your facial structure and expressions. No frozen appearance, no looking 'done'—just genuinely healthier, more youthful skin.
Pigmentation and Sun Damage Reduction: Living in Durban's glorious sunshine comes with sun damage, age spots, and hyperpigmentation concerns. Cold plasma oxygenates the melanin in your skin's epidermis, helping to lighten brown spots whether they're from sun exposure, hormonal changes, or aging. The treatment is particularly effective for pigmentation accompanied by inflammation, as it addresses both the discoloration and the underlying inflammatory process. After a series of treatments, many clients notice their skin tone becoming more even, brighter, and more luminous—that coveted 'lit from within' glow that makes you look healthy and vibrant.
Instant Radiance and Texture Improvement: One of the most immediate and noticeable effects clients report is the incredible glow they see right after treatment. Your skin looks fresher, cleaner, and more radiant—like you've just had the best facial of your life. The treatment promotes cell turnover, smooths texture irregularities, and creates a more refined skin surface. With regular treatments, that glow becomes your new normal.
Complete Sterilization and Accelerated Healing: Cold plasma completely obliterates bacteria living on the skin, creating an environment where bacteria cannot survive post-treatment. This sterilization is especially valuable for anyone dealing with persistent skin infections or slow-healing concerns. The treatment also improves microcirculation and stimulates cellular metabolism, accelerating the healing of acne scars, small wounds, or skin lesions.
One of the most beautiful aspects of cold plasma therapy is its remarkable versatility and safety across different skin types and concerns.
Cold plasma is universally safe and effective for all skin types and tones. Unlike some laser treatments or chemical peels that can pose risks for darker skin tones, the non-thermal nature of cold plasma means there's minimal risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or other complications that can affect melanin-rich skin. This makes it an excellent choice for Durban's diverse community.
Cold plasma is ideal for anyone experiencing:
For the busy professional juggling career demands with an active social life, cold plasma offers exactly what you need: effective treatment that delivers visible results without disrupting your schedule. Whether you're preparing for that important presentation, an upcoming wedding, or simply want to maintain clear, confident skin for everyday life, this treatment helps you look your polished best with minimal time investment. For those in midlife seeking to maintain their vitality, cold plasma respects where you are in life while helping you achieve the radiant, vital appearance you desire. This isn't about chasing someone else's youth—it's about looking like the most vibrant, confident version of yourself right now.
Let's walk through exactly what you can expect when you come to The Skin and Laser Clinic for cold plasma therapy, so you can arrive feeling informed, confident, and ready for your skin transformation.
Your Personalized Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough skin consultation with Lindy. This isn't a rushed assessment—it's a genuine conversation about your skin concerns, your goals, and your lifestyle. During the consultation, we'll examine your skin closely, discuss your specific concerns, and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. You'll learn exactly how cold plasma can address your particular concerns and what realistic results you can expect. This is also your opportunity to ask any questions you might have. We want you to feel completely comfortable and informed before we begin.
The Treatment Process: When it's time for your cold plasma treatment, we begin by thoroughly cleansing your skin to remove any impurities, makeup, or oils from the surface. Depending on your skin type and treatment goals, we may apply an enzymatic peeling gel that gently exfoliates and prepares your skin for maximum plasma benefits. Using the Platon Ultra device, we systematically treat the targeted areas. The device tip hovers just above your skin's surface, and you'll feel a gentle, tingling warmth—nothing more. Most clients describe the sensation as pleasant and relaxing. Treatment time varies by area: a full face typically takes just 10-15 minutes, making this genuinely a 'lunchtime treatment' you can fit into even the busiest day.
Post-Treatment Care: After the plasma treatment, we apply soothing, hydrating products to nourish and protect your newly energized skin. Because cold plasma dramatically increases absorption, your skin drinks in these beneficial ingredients far more effectively than usual. One of cold plasma's greatest advantages is the complete absence of downtime. Unlike treatments that require you to hide at home for days of peeling or redness, cold plasma allows you to return to your normal activities immediately. No redness. No peeling. No visible recovery period. You can even apply makeup right after treatment if you choose, though many clients find they don't want to cover up their beautiful glow.
You'll notice results immediately after your first treatment—your skin will look visibly brighter, smoother, and more radiant. That instant glow is one of the treatment's most beloved benefits. But the improvements don't stop there. Over the following days and weeks, as your skin produces new collagen and continues its renewal process, you'll see progressive enhancement. Fine lines soften, texture smooths, inflammation reduces, and your overall complexion becomes clearer and more even.
Recommended Treatment Protocol: For most skin concerns, we recommend an initial series of treatments. For acute concerns like active acne or rosacea flare-ups, 1-2 treatments per week for 4 weeks helps quickly bring inflammatory conditions under control. For anti-aging and prevention, once weekly for 4-6 weeks, then maintenance treatments monthly or every 6-12 weeks is typical. The exact protocol depends on your specific concerns, skin type, and goals. During your consultation, we'll create a customized plan that delivers optimal results while fitting your schedule and budget.
What to Expect Over Time: Immediately after treatment, you'll see instant glow, brighter complexion, smoother texture, and refreshed appearance. Within 24-48 hours, reduced inflammation, calmer skin, and continued radiance. After 1-2 treatments for acne and inflammatory conditions, visible improvements in breakouts and redness. After 4 weeks, noticeable improvements in skin texture, tone, and overall health with fine lines beginning to soften. After your full treatment series, dramatic transformation in targeted concerns—whether acne, pigmentation, texture, or aging signs. Your skin looks and feels genuinely healthier, clearer, and more youthful.
Proper aftercare ensures your skin heals optimally and your results last. The only post-treatment restriction is avoiding applying products to your skin for 12 hours, aside from what we recommend. No exercise, sauna, steam, or heat treatments for 12 hours. That's it—remarkably simple care for remarkable results.
Sun Protection in Durban's Climate: This is crucial, especially in Durban's sunny climate. Your skin will be more receptive to active ingredients after treatment, but also more vulnerable to sun damage. Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily, reapply every two hours if outdoors, and consider protective clothing during peak sun hours. In Durban's climate, consider this your golden rule for successful cold plasma treatment. With proper sun protection, you can absolutely enjoy our outdoor lifestyle while benefiting from cold plasma treatments.
Safety Profile: Cold atmospheric plasma has been extensively studied and demonstrates excellent safety when performed correctly by trained professionals. The treatment is non-invasive, non-thermal, non-ablative, and uses FDA-cleared technology. Most clients experience no side effects whatsoever. When they occur, mild temporary effects like slight redness lasting a few hours or temporary tingling are normal responses, not complications. Your practitioner will provide specific aftercare instructions tailored to your skin and treatment.

Find answers to common questions about cold plasma treatment
Not at all. Most clients describe the sensation as a gentle, tingling warmth—nothing more. Unlike treatments that require numbing cream or cause discomfort, cold plasma is genuinely comfortable and pleasant. The treatment feels relaxing, almost like a gentle massage on your skin. There are no needles, no heat damage, and no discomfort—just a soothing treatment that leaves your skin glowing.
Treatment time varies by area, but a full face typically takes just 10-15 minutes. This makes it a true 'lunchtime treatment' you can fit into even the busiest schedule. Including pre-treatment cleansing and post-treatment care, expect to spend about 30-45 minutes total at the clinic. You can literally have a treatment during your lunch break and return to work immediately after with no one knowing you've had a procedure—just glowing, radiant skin.
Absolutely none. This is one of cold plasma's greatest advantages. There's no redness, no peeling, no visible recovery period. You can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment, including work and social commitments. The only restrictions are avoiding product application for 12 hours (except recommended products) and avoiding heat, exercise, and sauna for 12 hours. That's it—remarkably simple for remarkable results.
This depends on your specific concerns. For acute conditions like active acne or rosacea flare-ups, we typically recommend 1-2 treatments per week for 4 weeks to quickly bring inflammatory conditions under control. For anti-aging and preventative care, once weekly for 4-6 weeks followed by monthly maintenance is typical. For ongoing skin health, monthly treatments eventually spaced out to every 3-6 months work beautifully. We'll create a personalized plan during your consultation based on your individual needs and goals.
You'll see immediate results—brighter, more radiant skin—right after your first treatment. That instant glow is one of the treatment's most beloved benefits. For concerns like acne and inflammation, visible improvements often appear within 1-2 treatments. For anti-aging benefits like collagen stimulation and texture improvement, progressive results develop over your treatment series. Most clients see noticeable improvements after 4 weeks, with optimal results visible after completing their full protocol. The beauty is that your skin continues improving over time.
Yes! Unlike some laser treatments that can pose risks for darker skin tones, cold plasma is safe and effective for all skin types and tones. The non-thermal, non-ablative nature means minimal risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or other complications across all skin types. This makes it an excellent choice for Durban's diverse community. Whether you have fair skin or deeper skin tones, sensitive skin or more resilient complexions, cold plasma can be customized to work beautifully for your unique needs.
Absolutely. Cold plasma is remarkably effective for active acne. The treatment destroys P. acnes bacteria—the primary culprit behind inflammatory acne—reducing bacterial load by up to 40% in just minutes. It also reduces inflammation, balances sebum production, and helps prevent future breakouts by addressing acne's root causes. Many clients see visible improvements in active breakouts after just 1-2 treatments. For those who've struggled with acne affecting their confidence, this can be genuinely transformative.
No, these are completely different treatments. PRP (sometimes called the 'vampire facial') is an invasive treatment involving injections of blood plasma back into the face. Cold atmospheric plasma is a non-invasive treatment using ionized gas at a comfortable temperature—no blood, no needles, no injections whatsoever. The word 'plasma' describes two entirely different phenomena. Cold plasma is painless, comfortable, and requires zero downtime, making it far more accessible than PRP treatments.
Yes! Cold plasma works beautifully as a standalone treatment or combined with other facial services. Because plasma dramatically increases skin absorption by up to 120 times, it's an excellent amplifier for serums and other treatments. We can incorporate cold plasma into comprehensive facial treatments or pair it with chemical peels, microneedling, or other modalities for enhanced results. During your consultation, we'll discuss which combination approach might work best for your specific concerns and goals.
Preparation is wonderfully simple. Come to your appointment with clean skin—we'll cleanse thoroughly, but avoid heavy makeup if possible. There are no special restrictions beforehand. No avoiding sun exposure for weeks. No stopping certain products. Continue your normal skincare routine. The beauty of cold plasma is how accessible and straightforward it is. Just show up ready to experience this amazing treatment and leave with glowing, radiant skin.
