AgeJet and NeoGen are both excellent nitrogen plasma-based technologies for skin resurfacing, tightening and lifting, but their differences can make AgeJet more appealing. Here is why some might prefer AgeJet over NeoGen:
- Quicker Treatment Sessions
AgeJet: Treatment sessions typically last around 25 minutes, making it more tolerable.
NeoGen: Sessions can take longer due to its energy delivery mechanism.
AgeJet: Designed with an integrated cooling system to minimise discomfort during the procedure, the treatment is more comfortable as the skin is cooled throughout. Furthermore, the way in which AgeJet converts the plasma is more effective and allows the energy to penetrate the skin without exposure to oxygen, thereby reducing the thermal effect on the surface of the skin.
NeoGen: Though effective, the thermal energy delivery may cause more discomfort. during treatment.
- Focus on Minimal Downtime
AgeJet: Due to less thermal energy being delivered to the skin’s surface during the treatment, the initial erythema (redness and inflammation) is reduced which in turn minimises the downtime. By day two, most of the redness will have dissipated. Peeling often occurs on day 3 (2 days after the treatment). Typically, skin appears back to normal by day 5-6.
NeoGen: May involve more extensive downtime due to its thermal impact on the skin, depending on the energy level used.
AgeJet: Its precision makes it particularly suitable for specific areas or targeted treatments like around the eyes, where sensitivity and precision are key. However, the time necessary to treat a full face, including the eyes, is still faster than NeoGen.
NeoGen: NeoGen is often better suited for full-face or broader area treatments, which might not be necessary for all patients.
- Versatility for Skin Types
AgeJet: Some patients report that AgeJet adapts better to a range of skin sensitivities, especially for lighter, maintenance-level procedures.
NeoGen: Can be more intensive and may not be as customisable for lower-energy or more superficial treatments.
AgeJet leverages advancements in nitrogen plasma technology and may appeal to patients who want cutting-edge, refined tools for their treatments.
Considerations
One of the main benefits of Nitrogen Plasma treatments is reduced downtime and risk in comparison to a CO2 and other ablative lasers. With the superior conversion of Nitrogen in to Plasma, AgeJet excels in speed, comfort, and recovery. The best choice depends on your goals, skin type, downtime tolerance, and desired results.
