NeoGen Plasma – Skin Rejuvenation Without Surgery
NeoGen plasma treatment is one of the most advanced skin regeneration treatments available, designed to improve skin quality, tighten laxity and restore a naturally refreshed appearance.
At LHP Aesthetics & Skincare in Yelverton near Plymouth, NeoGen is used to treat fine lines, uneven texture and ageing skin – with results that develop gradually and look entirely natural.
Is NeoGen right for you?
Why Choose NeoGen Plasma?
NeoGen treatment works by converting nitrogen gas into plasma energy, which is then directed at the skin’s surface. This energy penetrates the skin, creating a controlled thermal response that:
- Stimulates collagen and elastin production
- Encourages cellular regeneration
- Smooths and tightens the skin
- Improves tone, texture and clarity
The result is firmer, fresher, more radiant skin – with minimal discomfort and downtime.

Who Should Avoid Neogen Plasma Treatment?
Neogen Plasma is generally safe, but it’s not suitable for everyone. You should avoid or postpone treatment if you:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding – due to limited safety data
- Have active skin infections – such as herpes simplex or eczema in the treatment area
- Have a history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring – as plasma energy may worsen scarring
- Have very sensitive skin or certain inflammatory skin conditions – which may increase the risk of irritation or delayed healing
- Are prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) – especially those with darker skin tones, unless assessed and cleared by a qualified practitioner
- Are taking anti-inflammatories or antihistamines – these can reduce the effectiveness of the treatment and should be avoided before the procedure
Always consult with a qualified practitioner to assess your suitability and minimise risks.
