Looking for professional plasma treatment in Adelaide? Lady’s Beauty Care offers three distinct plasma treatments at our women-only clinic in Northfield — plasma fibroblast, dotless plasma and Jet Plasma cold atmospheric plasma. Each works through a different physical mechanism, suits different concerns and fits a different lifestyle. Every session is performed by Zeda, SA’s Murad Master Clinician of the Year with 18+ years of clinical experience, using a TGA-listed professional plasma device.
In Brief
Lady’s Beauty Care offers all three plasma treatments on a single TGA-listed platform. Plasma fibroblast uses a focused arc held just above the skin to tighten the surface and trigger a collagen-building healing response, with visible carbon dots for several days and long-lasting results. Dotless plasma uses a flat contact probe to gently heat the deeper skin without breaking the surface, building firmness over a course of sessions with little to no downtime. Jet Plasma delivers cold atmospheric plasma at close to body temperature — no heat, no downtime — for congested, breakout-prone skin, glow and serum infusion. The right choice depends on your concern, skin type and lifestyle, and Zeda recommends accordingly at consultation.

Three Distinct Technologies — How They Differ
“Plasma treatment” is used loosely across the industry to describe very different things. At Lady’s Beauty Care, three distinct plasma treatments are available — each with a different mechanism, operating temperature and purpose. Knowing the difference matters, because choosing the wrong one for your concern or skin type can affect both your results and your safety.
The Core Distinction
- Plasma Fibroblast — a focused arc held just above the skin creates instant surface tightening and a controlled micro-wound that triggers collagen production. The most intensive of the three. Small carbon dots form and shed over several days, so it suits clients who can plan for downtime.
- Dotless Plasma — a smooth contact probe delivers even warmth into the deeper skin without breaking the surface. No carbon dots, no crusting, little to no downtime. Firmness builds over a course of sessions.
- Jet Plasma — cold atmospheric plasma at close to body temperature. No heat, no surface disruption, no downtime. Works through gas chemistry to purify congested skin, brighten, and prepare the skin to absorb professional serums.
All three are delivered on the same TGA-listed platform, using different handpieces that work in different ways. They can complement each other — in some cases Zeda will recommend combining two within a treatment plan.
Plasma Fibroblast — Intensive Tightening and Long-Lasting Results
Plasma fibroblast is the most intensive of the three. The handpiece is held just above the skin — never touching it — and a tiny plasma arc jumps the gap, creating instant, localised tightening at each treatment point. A small protective carbon crust forms at each point and sheds naturally over around 5–7 days.
Each point is a controlled micro-wound that starts the body’s healing response. Fibroblasts are recruited within days and begin producing new collagen (types I and III) — the structural proteins behind firm, elastic skin. Collagen builds over the following 6–8 weeks, so the tightening effect continues to develop after the dots have shed. Results are long-lasting, although skin naturally continues to age and maintenance may be recommended over time.
What Plasma Fibroblast Is Used For
- Mild to moderate upper eyelid hooding
- Lines and wrinkles — forehead, crow’s feet, around the mouth
- Mild laxity along the lower face and jawline
- Crepey skin on the neck and décolletage
- Textural acne scarring
Important: Skin Type Suitability
Plasma fibroblast carries a risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) in Fitzpatrick V and VI skin, and isn’t suitable for anyone with a tendency to keloid scarring. For higher Fitzpatrick skin types, Zeda will recommend dotless plasma, Jet Plasma or another option instead. Honest skin assessment at every consultation — no exceptions.

Dotless Plasma — Progressive Firming With Little to No Downtime
Dotless plasma uses a smooth, flat probe placed directly on the skin. Because there’s no air gap, no arc forms — so no carbon dot develops and the skin surface isn’t broken. Instead, the energy is delivered as gentle, even warmth into the dermis, kept within a carefully controlled range.
This controlled warmth causes existing collagen fibres to contract and activates heat-shock proteins (including HSP47), which signal fibroblasts to step up new collagen production. The outer skin stays intact throughout. The result is progressive firming and lifting that builds over a course of sessions, with little to no visible recovery between them.
What Dotless Plasma Is Used For
- Mild to moderate skin laxity — face, neck and décolletage
- Mild upper eyelid hooding — progressive, without dots
- Lines around the eyes, mouth and forehead
- Softening the jawline
- Clients who can’t take time out for fibroblast downtime
- A wider range of skin types — lower PIH risk than fibroblast
Dotless plasma suits clients who want real, visible firming without a recovery period — and those whose skin type or lifestyle makes fibroblast unsuitable. Results build over a course of 2–3 sessions, with maintenance sessions to keep them going.

Jet Plasma — Cold Atmospheric Plasma, Zero Downtime
Jet Plasma is a completely different category from fibroblast or dotless plasma. It uses cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) — a state of plasma in which the gas stays at close to body temperature, so there’s negligible heat transfer to the skin. No heat, no surface disruption, no carbon dots, no downtime.
Jet Plasma works through gas chemistry. The ionised plasma generates reactive oxygen and nitrogen species that act on the skin in three ways: an antibacterial effect on the skin’s surface, helpful for congested, breakout-prone skin; a temporary loosening of the skin’s surface barrier that helps professional serums absorb more effectively; and a brightening effect on dull, uneven skin — without the heat that can trigger pigmentation.
What Jet Plasma Is Used For
- Congested, oily and breakout-prone skin
- Sensitive, redness-prone skin that doesn’t tolerate heat
- Dull skin and uneven tone — suitable across Fitzpatrick skin types
- An instant glow before an event
- Preparing the skin for serum infusion (Triple-Fusion protocol)
Does Jet Plasma Tighten Skin?
Not through heat — Jet Plasma doesn’t produce the warmth needed to contract collagen. As part of the Triple-Fusion protocol, Jet Plasma is followed by electroporation and sonoporation to help mineral-rich serums penetrate the prepared skin, leaving skin looking plumper, smoother and firmer straight after treatment. For structural firming of lax skin, Zeda will recommend fibroblast or dotless plasma at consultation.

Which Plasma Treatment Suits You?
The right treatment depends on your main concern, your skin type and how much downtime you can manage. That’s exactly what Zeda assesses at consultation — she won’t recommend a treatment that isn’t right for you.
A Simple Guide
- Laxity or hooded eyelids — downtime is fine: Plasma Fibroblast
- Laxity or sagging — no downtime: Dotless Plasma (course of sessions)
- Fitzpatrick V–VI skin with laxity: Dotless Plasma (after a patch test) or HIFU
- Congested or breakout-prone skin: Jet Plasma
- Sensitive or redness-prone skin: Jet Plasma
- Dullness or uneven tone — any Fitzpatrick type: Jet Plasma
- Pre-event glow or serum infusion: Jet Plasma Triple-Fusion protocol
- Not sure: Book a consultation — Zeda will assess your skin and recommend the right path
Many clients benefit from more than one treatment within a plan — for example, a Jet Plasma course for congested skin, followed by dotless plasma for texture and firmness. Zeda maps these plans out at consultation. If you have a diagnosed skin condition such as rosacea, eczema or melasma, please see your GP or dermatologist — we’re happy to work alongside their advice.

Plasma for Hooded Eyelids — A Non-Surgical Option
One of the most popular uses of plasma treatment in Adelaide is softening mild to moderate upper eyelid hooding, without surgery.
Depending on your skin type and downtime, Zeda may recommend plasma fibroblast or dotless plasma for the eye area. Fibroblast is more intensive, with a few days of visible recovery. Dotless plasma builds results gradually over a course of sessions with little to no visible recovery. Both require precise technique around the delicate eye area — this is where clinical experience matters most.
Considering Plasma Instead of Eyelid Surgery?
- No surgery: No incisions, stitches or general anaesthesia
- Shorter recovery: Days rather than weeks
- Gradual, natural-looking results: Collagen builds over the following 6–8 weeks
- Repeatable: Can be revisited as skin continues to age
- Best for mild to moderate hooding: For more significant hooding, surgical blepharoplasty with a qualified surgeon remains the standard — Zeda will tell you honestly at consultation if surgery is the better path

Pre-Treatment Advice
Preparation mainly applies to plasma fibroblast and dotless plasma. Jet Plasma needs no special preparation beyond a double cleanse.
Before Your Appointment (Fibroblast & Dotless)
- Avoid sun exposure: No sunbathing or tanning for at least two weeks before treatment, to reduce pigmentation risk
- Pause retinoids and exfoliants: Stop strong actives (retinol, glycolic acid, salicylic acid) at least 3–5 days before treatment
- Isotretinoin: If you’ve taken isotretinoin (e.g. Roaccutane) or another oral retinoid in the past 12 months, treatment needs to be deferred
- Hydrate: Well-hydrated skin responds better
- Arrive with clean skin: No makeup, SPF or oils on the treatment area
- Share your full medical history at consultation: Zeda screens for contraindications before any treatment
Post-Treatment Aftercare
Aftercare is quite different for each of the three treatments.
Plasma Fibroblast — Aftercare (3–7 Days)
- Don’t pick, scratch or remove the carbon dots: Let them shed naturally over 5–7 days — interfering risks scarring and pigmentation
- Keep the area dry for 24–48 hours: No steam, swimming or heavy sweating over the treated area
- No makeup over treated areas until the dots have fully shed
- SPF 50+ daily for at least 4 weeks: Sun exposure while healing increases the risk of pigmentation. We recommend Avocado Zinc SPF 50 Natural Physical Sunscreen
- No active acids or exfoliants for at least 2 weeks
Dotless Plasma — Aftercare
- Mild redness may appear and usually settles within a few hours — no dots, no peeling
- Makeup can be applied straight away with a gentle hand
- Avoid heat (sauna, steam, intense exercise) for 24 hours
- SPF 50+ daily for 4 weeks: Avocado Zinc SPF 50 recommended
- Avoid active exfoliants for 3 days
Jet Plasma — Aftercare
- No downtime — makeup on straight away and carry on with your day
- Daily SPF 50+ as standard, especially during a brightening course
- During a course: Avoid your known skin triggers between sessions and keep up consistent SPF
Contraindications
The following applies mainly to plasma fibroblast and dotless plasma. Jet Plasma suits a broader range of clients — its contraindications are listed separately.
