Dr. Alexandre Charão introduces ArgoPlasma to Rio de Janeiro, a revolutionary technology for intense skin tightening and long-term collagen stimulation. This innovative treatment uses a plasma jet cooled with argon gas, providing groundbreaking results, particularly in liposuction surgeries for patients with excess skin. Let’s explore more about this advanced technology.
What is ArgoPlasma?
Argon, a biologically inert noble gas, is safe for the human body and maintains temperature stability. After liposuction—whether standard or high-definition—the ArgoPlasma treatment is applied. It tightens skin in two ways: immediately after surgery and gradually over the following months.
Benefits of ArgoPlasma
- Immediate Skin Tightening: Contracts overstretched collagen fibers caused by factors like pregnancy, weight fluctuations, genetics, or aging.
- Collagen Stimulation: Promotes the production of new collagen for firmer skin.
- Enhanced Skin Tension: Improves overall skin quality.
ArgoPlasma is the first electrosurgical system using argon plasma jet technology for plastic surgery. While the Renuvion system, which uses helium-cooled plasma, has proven effective in recent years, ArgoPlasma offers superior results with greater power and precision.
How Does ArgoPlasma Technology Work?
ArgoPlasma utilizes advanced radiofrequency technology emitted through an ionized argon plasma. This energy is delivered beneath the skin using tunnels created during liposuction. The procedure is highly effective for both individuals with minimal fat and skin laxity and those with higher fat volumes.
For patients with minimal fat, a discrete liposuction procedure can enhance skin definition. For those with higher fat volumes, ArgoPlasma is applied after fat removal, often targeting up to 5 or 6 liters.
Procedures Using ArgoPlasma
ArgoPlasma can be combined with liposuction in several scenarios, such as:
- Skin laxity with fat accumulation.
- Excess skin post-bariatric surgery.
- Post-pregnancy skin issues.
- Skin tightening in areas like arms, inner thighs, and neck.
- Treating cellulite and sagging skin in the buttocks.
Argoplasma can also enhance results in Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBL) by improving skin firmness and highlighting grafted fat.
Advantages of ArgoPlasma
- Selective collagen fiber tightening without affecting surrounding structures.
- Immediate and long-lasting results.
- Enhanced thermal precision and control.
- Faster post-operative recovery due to accelerated tissue regeneration.
- Reduced skin laxity and improved skin adherence to new body contours.
Post-Surgery Results
ArgoPlasma delivers visible results at the end of surgery, with further improvements over the following months due to ongoing collagen stimulation. For areas with fat grafts, the skin’s firmness enhances the visibility of grafted volume and definition.
