Argo Plasma is a modern, minimally invasive procedure for tightening and firming loose skin using a combination of radiofrequency energy and argon plasma.
Argo Plasma is an innovative skin tightening technology that represents a modern approach to addressing loose skin without the need for extensive surgical incisions. It utilizes the synergy of radiofrequency energy and inert argon gas to create precisely targeted plasma. This unique state of matter, created by passing radiofrequency current through argon, is applied to the subcutaneous layer of skin. The application is performed using a thin, specially designed probe that is inserted under the skin through small incisions, typically only 0.5 cm in size.
The key to Argo Plasma’s effectiveness is its ability to selectively target collagen fibers in the subcutaneous tissue. These fibers have lower electrical resistance than surrounding fatty or connective tissue, and therefore preferentially absorb the plasma energy. The plasma energy causes immediate and significant shrinkage (contraction) of these collagen fibers. This process leads to visible skin tightening immediately after the procedure. In addition to this immediate effect, plasma also stimulates fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin. This initiates a natural regenerative process that leads to the gradual formation of new, higher-quality collagen and elastin in the following weeks and months. This long-term process further improves the firmness, elasticity, and overall quality of the skin. The technology is suitable for treating loose skin after significant weight loss, after liposuction, after pregnancy, or as a result of the natural aging process when skin loses its natural elasticity. The argon gas also serves as a cooling medium that protects surrounding tissue from excessive heat, increasing the safety of the procedure and minimizing the risk of complications. The result is firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking treated areas with minimal scarring and faster recovery compared to traditional surgical methods.
Deciding on an aesthetic procedure is an important step. If you are unsure whether Argo Plasma technology is the right choice for you, or if you have questions about its benefits and process, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation. During a personal meeting with a qualified physician, you will receive all the necessary information; the doctor will evaluate your individual condition and recommend the best approach to achieve your goals.

The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia. The doctor first makes small skin incisions (approximately 0.5 cm) where the probe will be inserted. The number of incisions depends on the size of the treated area. A thin probe is then carefully inserted into the subcutaneous tissue. The doctor moves it in a fan-like manner to ensure even application of argon plasma to the target area beneath the skin. The plasma energy causes immediate contraction of collagen fibers and initiates the process of tissue regeneration.

Before the actual Argo Plasma procedure, a consultation with a qualified doctor is crucial. During the consultation, the doctor will evaluate your skin condition, discuss your expectations and goals, explain the procedure, possible risks, and recommend if Argo Plasma is suitable for you. It might also be recommended to discontinue certain medications or adjust your lifestyle before the procedure.
Immediately after the Argo Plasma procedure, you may notice initial signs of skin tightening. Swelling, bruising, or mild pain may occur in the treated area, which gradually subsides over several days to weeks. Recovery time is individual. It’s important to follow the doctor’s instructions regarding incision care and possible wearing of compression garments. The full and final results of the procedure develop gradually over several weeks to months as new collagen forms.
