What is Neogen Plasma?
Neogen Plasma is a device made by Energist in Wales, which has become one of the most popular skin rejuvenation treatments.
It improves the skin surface, treating pigmentation and poor texture while boosting collagen and elastin to reduce wrinkles and fine lines and simultaneously tightening the skin.
Unlike traditional laser treatments that work only on the skin’s surface, Neogen also penetrates deeper layers, making it a superior option for anyone seeking to reverse signs of ageing, repair sun damage, or improve overall skin texture and tone.
How does Neogen Plasma work?
The device passes inert nitrogen gas through a high frequency energy field, which converts it into plasma — the fourth state of matter, alongside solid, liquid and gas. The handpiece delivers that plasma energy to the skin as heat.
Two things separate it from a laser. It does not target a colour in the skin, so it is not seeking out pigment or water, and it heats the whole treated area evenly rather than in a pattern of dots, so nothing is left untreated in between.
The heat reaches into the dermis, the deeper layer where collagen and elastin are made, and the controlled injury there starts the skin’s own repair process. Most of the work is done here — new collagen builds up and supports and firms the skin from within.
The heat also makes the skin peel, and that is how the changes at the surface happen. The treated outer layer stays in place as a natural dressing while the skin underneath regenerates, then sheds, reducing visible signs of sun damage and rough texture. How much peeling you get depends both on the strength of the treatment and on how your own skin responds: at lower settings it is usually minimal flaking and at higher settings more significant, but some people peel a good deal more than others at the same setting.
Some tightening is visible straight away, but most of the improvement builds gradually over the months that follow, as the new collagen forms.
Is it similar to a Plasma Pen device?
No, it is very different from handheld devices, which create tiny injuries on the skin’s surface. Neogen uses nitrogen gas, which it converts into plasma energy. This energy treats the skin more uniformly on the surface and penetrates deeper into the skin. It improves both the epidermis and dermis layers, stimulating collagen production over time while treating a range of skin concerns.
What does a Neogen treatment involve?
Cheshire Lasers uses the latest Neogen Plasma EVO Device, which has a range of settings to control the energy and enable various treatments, from mild to moderate to more aggressive. This ensures the outcome of the treatment chosen for you is predictable and reliable, with minimal risk of complications.
A handpiece delivers the nitrogen plasma energy and rapidly heats the skin, creating a controlled injury.
Most patients describe the feeling as warm but not painful. The intensity of the heat, however, can vary depending on the depth and intensity of the treatment. Lighter treatments feel milder, while more intensive sessions produce a stronger sensation that may require a topical anaesthetic.
The injury to the top layer leads to some superficial shedding of skin cells. This improves the skin’s texture, especially fine lines, age spots, and acne scars. It also triggers your body’s natural healing response, creating healthy new collagen and elastin, resulting in immediate skin tightening and firmer, tighter skin over time.
Whether you’re looking to enhance the overall appearance of your skin or target specific concerns, Neogen offers a tailored approach that meets your individual needs and downtime.
Which areas can Neogen Plasma treat?
At Cheshire Lasers, we mainly treat the face with Neogen Plasma; however, we also treat the body.
This is the only treatment we can use to treat the eyelids.
What skin issues can it treat?
Neogen plasma skin rejuvenation is a versatile treatment that addresses a wide variety of skin concerns, including:
- Hooded eyes
- Eyelid laxity (inc. crow’s feet folds, heavy lids, under-eye folds)
- Lines & wrinkles
- Large pores
- Pigmentation (sunspots, freckles)
- Poor texture
- Sun damage /photodamage
- Skin laxity
- Actinic (solar) keratosis
- Scars
- Stretch marks
These improve in two different ways. Large pores, fine lines, skin laxity and hooded lids improve because Neogen builds new collagen and elastin. Collagen is what supports the skin around each pore, and as it is lost with age that support goes, so the pores widen and look larger — rebuilding it firms the support again. Pigmentation, sun damage and poor texture improve as the treated surface peels away and is replaced. Scars and stretch marks improve through a combination of the two.

What to expect during your Neogen treatment
Before your Neogen treatment, we ask that you attend a consultation with one of our specialists. They will assess your skin and create a treatment plan to suit your needs.
During the procedure, the practitioner will use the plasma device to deliver controlled energy to the treatment area, creating a warming sensation as the nitrogen plasma works its magic.
Sometimes, we will apply a topical anaesthetic, but this is only necessary if you are opting for a deeper treatment. Depending on the intensity of the treatment, sessions usually last between 30 minutes to an hour.
After treatment, we will give you some products to use on your skin for the next few days to ensure you avoid any products that may irritate or delay the healing process.
