PlasmaIQ Skin Tightening Treatments in Stockport Cheshire

Reduce Loose, Sagging Skin by Promoting Regeneration with PLASMA IQ Skin Tightening Treatments

Our PLASMA IQ aesthetics device is an electric micro-scalpel which provides non-surgical skin rejuvenation and tightening. 

It does this by using plasma technology and is particularly popular for those who have minor skin imperfections such as skin tags, wrinkles, fine lines and sagging eyelids, where it can provide a non-surgical blepharoplasty. 

Book a consultation with the team in Cheshire to discuss whether this treatment is right for you.

Please note, all information included above and on this page is general advice and may vary depending on personal circumstances. Your exact treatment plan and options will be discussed during your consultation.

How Does The PLASMA IQ Treatment Work At The Clinic Cheshire?

Our PLASMA IQ treatment begins with a consultation to discuss your skin concerns and goals to ensure this is the right treatment for you.

On the day of your treatment, a numbing cream is applied to the area due to be treated to ensure minimal discomfort. Once the area is sufficiently numb our practitioner will use the PLASMA IQ device to create tiny, controlled dots on your skin, which might feel like a mild tingling or heat. 

The whole process typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas being treated. After your treatment you may experience some redness and swelling, but these effects usually subside within a few days, revealing tighter, smoother skin. You can read more about the side effects in the FAQs section further down this page.

"Liz was incredibly professional and personal all at the same time. I felt incredibly comfortable from the moment I entered the clinic. Liz is very obviously very well informed and educated in her work, she was very honest with recommendations especially when considering my personal circumstances which is so important when working with peoples aesthetics. Would 100% recommend."

Pre & Post Treatment Advice

Before your PLASMA IQ treatment you should limit sun exposure and avoid tanning beds for at least 2 weeks prior to treatment.

For a week before your treatment you should stop using any skincare products that contain retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and other potentially irritating ingredients.

We recommend taking an over the counter antihistamine for 5 days prior and 2-3 days after treatment to help with any swelling.

To minimise the side effects and ensure the best healing possible, you should:

  • Avoid sun exposure as much as possible & wear high quality SPF
  • Gently cleanse the area with a mild cleanser and pat dry, do not rub
  • Avoid any skincare products with active ingredients such as retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) for two weeks following your procedure
  • Keep the area moisturised
  • Avoid picking or scratching the treatment area (no matter how tempting)
  • Take an over the counter anti-histamine to help with swelling


If you believe that you are experiencing any adverse side effects, contact your practitioner immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Results vary depending on the treatment carried out with the PLASMQ IQ device. For mild concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles you will likely notice improvement within one week of treatment. For deeper wrinkles, eyelid lifting and other more moderate concerns, you will usually notice improvements 1 – 3 weeks after treatment.

The effects of PLASMA IQ can last up to 2 years depending on your skin type, area treated and your lifestyle. To maintain optimum results, clients may opt for maintenance treatments every 12-18 months. Proper skincare, including SPF, can help to prolong the benefits of your treatment.

You may experience some bruising, redness, swelling, scabbing, itching, tingling or pain over the treatment area(s). This is due to the nature of the treatment which creates micro injuries on the skin. These side effects are usually mild and only cause minimal discomfort but if you are concerned at any time, please contact The Clinic Cheshire.
