Nitrogen Plasma: the New Non-surgical Face Lift
Dr. Judy Todd reveals the revolutionary treatment that helped Shirley Ballas look 10 years younger.
When a lot of people think of anti-aging treatments, they often assume dermal fillers and wrinkle relaxing injections like Botox®. Even when administered by an experienced and qualified medical professional to achieve natural looking results, they do not actually help improve the tone and texture of your skin.
Years of sun exposure, drinking, air conditioning, pollution and acne cause a variety of conditions such as pigmentation, large pores, dull skin, scars, wrinkles, sagging skin and fine lines.
One of the most effective methods of improving these conditions is “resurfacing”; removing the outer layers of the skin to reveal fresh new skin underneath. This can be done in a variety of ways such as medical grade retinols, chemical peels and laser resurfacing.
In order to help lift and tighten the skin, we also need to incorporate treatments that work on the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production and the body’s natural healing process.
More and more celebrities are seeking non-surgical options to lift, tighten and improve their skin. And some of them are not shy to talk about the procedures they have had.
In 2022, viewers couldn’t help but notice the incredible transformation of Strictly Come Dancing’s head judge, Shirley Ballas. Shirley visited one of the UK’s top cosmetic doctor’s in London, Dr. Judy Todd. Over the course of six months, Ballas had a course of Nitrogen Plasma treatments with Dr. Todd. Ballas said “These changes don’t happen overnight, but over the course of six months I could see a huge difference and they are still continuing to get better. My jawline was much more defined, my skin was brighter and more youthful, my little veins and sunspots were gone, and everything started to look cleaner and clearer.”
The treatment involves converting nitrogen into plasma. It can be tailored to use low, medium or high energy. By utilising lower energy, you reduce the downtime, but this does mean you need a course of treatments to get the desired results. Due to Ballas’ busy on screen schedule, this how she achieved her dramatic results over a period of time. If you can schedule in the downtime, higher energy treatments result in a drastic change in a shorter period of time. Unlike aggressive resurfacing lasers, nitrogen plasma delivers the heat to the deeper layers so it does not create wounds in the skin. By leaving the surface intact, you do not run the same risk of infection and scarring. It also means the treatment and recovery is far more comfortable.
AgeJet is Judy Todd’s preferred treatment which is a newer version of Nitrogen Plasma that addresses fine lines, pigmentation, tone and texture as well as tightening the skin. It is safe enough to use around the eyes which results in lifting and tightening the eye lids. This is one of the most common goals for people over the age of 40 but is also one of the challenging things to achieve without a surgical procedure known as a Blepharoplasty (cutting away excess skin around the eyes). AgeJet is safe enough to go right up to the eye lashes which results in the appearance of a Blepharoplasty, as well as improving Crow’s Feet, fine lines and skin laxity under the eyes.
Dr. Judy Todd was also the doctor who treated Andy Murray’s mother, Judy Murray. According to Dr. Judy Todd: “AgeJET can be used to improve the skin quality and soften the lines as a useful adjuvant to muscle relaxing injections, particularly where the lines have become static and deep, or for those who don’t want to have any muscle relaxing ( toxin ) injections.”
“AgeJet, by CureMedical, is one of my go-to treatments for treating hyperpigmentation alongside topical agents. AgeJet is now my preferred treatment over NeoGen Nitrogen Plasma. It’s a cutting-edge plasma therapy treatment that offers great results with very little downtime. It works by using controlled pulses of radio frequency energy that are heated via medical-grade nitrogen gas, causing micro-injuries in the dermal tissue. These micro-injuries then trigger the body’s healing process, enhancing cell turnover and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, making it a fantastic choice for treating hyperpigmentation, acne and scarring resulting in glowing skin.”
