Introduction
In Los Angeles—where skincare trends come and go—Jet Plasma is rising above the noise and proving it’s here to stay. This cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment works at the cellular level to stimulate collagen production, meaning results don’t just show up — they build over time. Fine lines soften, skin tightens, tone evens out, and that glow? It just keeps getting better in the weeks following each session.
What Makes Jet Plasma Treatments Different?
Jet Plasma doesn’t rely on heat or abrasion to trigger change. Instead, it uses low-temperature plasma energy to safely penetrate the skin barrier and jumpstart collagen and elastin production from within. Unlike lasers or chemical peels, Jet Plasma doesn't cause flaking, redness, or downtime. Just science-backed rejuvenation that continues to evolve after you leave the treatment room.
Whether you're a skincare enthusiast, dealing with persistent skin concerns, or just curious about the latest aesthetic innovations, this guide will walk you through everything you need to know—how Jet Plasma works, what to expect, who it’s for, and why it’s quickly becoming an LA favorite.
This article has been reviewed by Nurse Jen at OLIS SKIN in Long Beach, CA, ensuring accuracy and real-world expertise.
What Is A Jet Plasma Facial And How Does It Work?
A Jet Plasma treatment is a non-invasive skincare procedure that uses cold atmospheric plasma to stimulate collagen production, improve skin tone and texture, and support overall skin rejuvenation. The device delivers a controlled stream of cool-temperature plasma energy that penetrates deep into the skin without disrupting the surface. This process helps remodel the skin from within, targeting concerns like fine lines, skin laxity, acne, hyperpigmentation, and more.
During the treatment, the practitioner customizes the settings based on your skin’s needs. The tip of the handheld device gently glides across the skin in smooth, methodical passes—no pressure, no puncturing—just a soft delivery of plasma energy designed to activate change beneath the surface. Most sessions last around 20 to 30 minutes, depending on whether the face or both the face and neck are being treated.
While some providers offer Jet Plasma as a quick, tech-focused procedure, at OLIS SKIN, Nurse Jen wanted to create an experience that provided the best of both worlds — restorative, science backed technology paired with elements of a traditional facial.
Each Jet Plasma Facial at OLIS SKIN begins with a deep cleanse, followed by a custom mask and invigorating ice globe massage. Nurse Jen finishes your experience with professional skin care application and clinical red light therapy. The result? A treatment that feels as rejuvenating as it is effective—merging clinical technology with the nurturing feel of a traditional facial.
But what exactly is plasma energy, and why is it beneficial for the skin?
Understanding Cold Plasma in Skincare
In skincare, Jet Plasma uses cold atmospheric plasma—the fourth state of matter, alongside solid, liquid, and gas. It consists of ionized particles that emit energy when applied to the skin, triggering a cascade of skin-rejuvenating effects, including:
Collagen remodeling – Plasma energy stimulates fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin, leading to firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Accelerated skin regeneration – It speeds up cell turnover, gradually improving texture, tone, and overall skin clarity.
Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action – Cold plasma naturally targets harmful bacteria and calms inflammation, making it an effective option for acne-prone or reactive skin.
Enhanced skin barrier function – Enhanced skin barrier function – It helps reinforce the skin’s protective barrier, improving hydration and defending against environmental stressors.
How Jet Plasma Penetrates the Skin Without Damage
One of the key advantages of Jet Plasma is its ability to reach deeper layers of the skin without creating surface trauma. While most skincare products work on the outermost layer, Jet Plasma works below the surface—safely and effectively. Here's how:
Plasma Ionization – The device ionizes atmospheric gases—primarily oxygen and nitrogen—to create cold plasma energy.
Enhanced Skin Absorption – The plasma energy temporarily increases the skin’s permeability by creating microscopic openings—often referred to as "micro-channels"—without breaking or damaging the surface. This non-invasive, non-ablative effect allows for deeper absorption of serums and other targeted skincare ingredients applied after treatment.
Collagen & Elastin Activation – The plasma energy stimulates fibroblasts, which are responsible for producing collagen and elastin—key proteins for firmer, vibrant skin.
No Surface Trauma – Unlike laser treatments, microneedling, or Fibroblast Skin Tightening, Jet Plasma does not cause trauma to the skin.. This makes it suitable for all skin types and tones, including sensitive and deeply melanated skin.
How Does It Feel?
If you’re wondering about discomfort—good news: most clients describe the sensation as a gentle warmth or mild tingling. The treatment is well-tolerated and, for many, even relaxing. No sharp zaps and no need for numbing cream.
Why Jet Plasma Is Gaining Popularity In Skin Treatments
In a city like Los Angeles—where skincare trends come and go—Jet Plasma has quickly earned its place as a go-to for skincare enthusiasts, busy professionals, and anyone seeking real results without a lot of downtime. Its appeal lies in its versatility, convenience, and ability to deliver noticeable improvements without disrupting your routine.
Here’s why more people are choosing Jet Plasma:
Instant Glow, Long-Term Payoff – Clients often notice a brighter, more lifted appearance right away, with continued improvements over the following weeks as collagen production ramps up.
Low Downtime, High Convenience – With just 12 hours of simple aftercare and no visible irritation, it fits seamlessly into any schedule—whether you’re headed to work, a night out, or back-to-back meetings.
Safe and Inclusive for All Skin Types – Jet Plasma is a non-ablative treatment that doesn’t rely on heat or light energy—common triggers for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. While no treatment is completely without risk, its gentle approach makes it a well-tolerated option for all skin types, including richly melanated skin.
Results for Real Skin Concerns – Whether you’re navigating fine lines, acne, pigmentation, or just looking to refresh your skin, Jet Plasma can address multiple concerns at once. It’s a versatile option for anyone—regardless of age, gender, or experience level—who wants visible results without a complicated recovery.
At OLIS SKIN, we offer treatments like Jet Plasma in a space where your skin goals are honored—without judgment, assumptions, or beauty standards attached.
Key Benefits Of Jet Plasma Facials
Jet Plasma isn't just a trend—it's gaining traction because of its scientifically backed skin benefits and versatility. Here's a closer look at what makes it stand out:
1. Stimulates Collagen and Improves Skin Elasticity
Collagen is essential for firm, resilient skin—but our natural production slows with age. Jet Plasma helps reactivate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen and elastin, leading to smoother texture, more bounce, and a visible softening of fine lines over time.
2. Brightens Skin and Reduces Hyperpigmentation
Uneven tone and hyperpigmentation can be difficult to treat, especially for deeper skin tones. Jet Plasma helps even out the complexion without triggering irritation or post-inflammatory darkening, making it a safer option than many laser-based treatments.
3. Calms Acne and Inflammation
Jet Plasma’s antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects make it ideal for acne-prone or reactive skin. It targets the bacteria that contribute to breakouts while calming redness and supporting overall skin clarity.
4. Boosts Product Absorption
One of Jet Plasma’s hidden talents: it creates temporary microchannels in the skin, allowing serums and active ingredients to penetrate more deeply. This enhances the effectiveness of post-treatment skincare, whether you're focused on hydration, brightening, or anti-aging.
5. Minimal Downtime, Maximum Convenience
Many skin treatments require extended recovery—think peeling, flaking, or visible redness. Jet Plasma, by contrast, is non-invasive and typically involves little to no visible irritation. For optimal results, we recommend the following gentle aftercare for 12 hours post-treatment:
Avoid sun exposure
Skip hot showers, saunas, or steam rooms
Refrain from exercise or sweating
Stay out of chlorinated pools
Keep skin makeup-free
Some clients—especially those prone to flushing—may notice temporary flushing due to increased circulation. Some clients may experience a small increase in dryness. This typically subsides within a day and is easily managed with moisturizer.
Is Jet Plasma Safe? What The Research Says
When it comes to skin treatments, safety matters just as much as results. Jet Plasma has earned growing trust in both clinical and aesthetic settings thanks to its non-invasive approach, minimal risk profile, and supportive research. However, not all devices are created equal. Be sure to work with a licensed, trusted provider using an FDA-registered Jet Plasma device designed for safe and effective energy delivery across all skin types.
1. Non-Invasive & Gentle on Skin
Unlike procedures that remove or injure the top layer of skin—like laser resurfacing or medium-depth peels—Jet Plasma works beneath the surface without disrupting it. That makes it a great choice for sensitive skin or anyone looking to avoid downtime and recovery.
2. Proven Anti-Aging & Skin-Regenerating Effects
A 2020 study in Free Radical Biology and Medicine found that plasma treatments help regulate oxidative stress, which plays a key role in skin aging and inflammation
Multiple studies support the regenerative power of cold plasma technology:
It stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture and laxity
It supports wound healing and accelerates skin repair
It reduces inflammation and regulates oxidative stress, both of which are linked to aging and acne-prone skin
A 2020 study published in Free Radical Biology and Medicine found that cold plasma can help regulate oxidative stress in skin tissues—an important factor in both premature aging and inflammation (Graves, D.B., 2020).
3. Safe for All Skin Types, Including Deeper Skin Tones
Jet Plasma avoids the heat and light energy that often trigger post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, especially in deeper skin tones. Though every skin responds differently, this non-ablative treatment has been shown to be well-tolerated across a wide range of skin types—including richly melanated complexions often excluded from more aggressive treatments. This makes Jet Plasma an appealing option for those seeking pigmentation-safe skin treatments, especially in communities historically underserved by mainstream aesthetics.
4. No Harsh Chemicals or Irritants
Jet Plasma treatments use energy—not acids or abrasives—to activate skin rejuvenation. This means there’s no risk of over-exfoliation, burns, or long-term barrier damage. It’s a gentle yet effective solution for anyone looking to improve skin health without harsh ingredients or irritation.
How To Choose A Jet Plasma Provider
(and the Questions Worth Asking)
With the rise in popularity of Jet Plasma treatments, there’s also been a surge in knockoff devices and untrained providers offering similar-sounding services. To protect your skin—and your results—it’s important to do a little homework before booking.
Here’s what to look for (and what to ask):
Is the provider licensed and experienced?
Look for someone with a professional background in skincare or healthcare, such as a licensed esthetician, nurse, or medical provider trained in advanced modalities. Experience matters—especially when it comes to customizing settings and ensuring safety for your skin type.
What device are they using?
Ask whether the Jet Plasma device they use is FDA-registered and truly non-thermal. Some “plasma pens” marketed online don’t deliver cold atmospheric plasma at all—so it’s important to verify you're receiving the real thing.
Is the treatment customized for your skin?
Your provider should assess your skin type, tone, and goals before beginning—and adjust the treatment accordingly. Jet Plasma is suitable for all skin types, but that doesn’t mean the same approach works for everyone.
What does the full treatment include?
Some providers offer Jet Plasma as a quick, standalone procedure that lasts just 15–20 minutes. Others, like OLIS SKIN, integrate it into a full 75-minute facial experience that includes a proper cleanse, targeted skincare, red light therapy, and more—so you leave with glowing skin and the feeling that you were truly cared for, not just zapped and sent on your way.
At OLIS SKIN, safety and personalization are at the heart of every treatment.
