Plasonic Plasma
Precision Energy. Refined Skin Care.
Plasonic is a professional medical device that combines radiofrequency plasma technology with an ultrasound handpiece. Within a carefully selected facial protocol, the treatment may be used to support precise tissue coagulation or lesion-focused treatment, followed by skin-specific calming and aftercare. Every DermaPhi session begins with a thorough assessment to determine whether the device and proposed treatment are appropriate for your skin.

Radiofrequency Plasma & Therapeutic Ultrasound
Treatment Style
Precise, Provider-Directed & Concern Specific
How Plasonic Works
The Plasonic platform includes two distinct handpieces. The PLAPASS handpiece uses radiofrequency-generated plasma for controlled tissue coagulation and the removal or destruction of selected skin lesions. The SONOPASS handpiece delivers therapeutic ultrasound for its cleared physical-therapy indications. These technologies are not interchangeable, and the exact handpiece, settings, and treatment purpose must match the provider’s assessment and the device labeling.
Potential Facial Treatment Goals
Targeted Precision
Supports controlled treatment of selected superficial concerns when clinically appropriate and within the provider’s scope of practice.
Focused Coagulation
Uses radiofrequency plasma energy to create a precise tissue effect rather than treating the entire face uniformly.
Customized Planning
Treatment depth, energy, location, and aftercare are selected according to the concern, skin type, and healing history.
Professional Follow-Up
Post-treatment monitoring helps support appropriate healing and identifies signs that require prompt evaluation.
Commonly Evaluated Facial Areas
The DermaPhi Plasonic Experience
Plasonic treatment is not a standard relaxation facial. It is a device-based procedure that requires careful patient selection, conservative treatment planning, and detailed aftercare.
Assessed
Concern FirstYour provider examines the treatment area and determines whether it should be treated, monitored, biopsied, or referred for medical evaluation.
Precise
Controlled EnergyThe treatment is localized and performed using parameters selected for the specific concern and anatomical area.
Supported
Aftercare GuidedYou receive instructions for cleansing, protection, expected healing, and symptoms that should be reported promptly.
Your Treatment Experience
Consultation
Your provider reviews the concern, medical history, medications, allergies, prior procedures, healing history, and pigment risk.
Focused Treatment
The treatment area is prepared and the selected handpiece is used according to the intended procedure and device instructions.
Recovery Plan
The treated area is protected and you receive individualized guidance for cleansing, skincare, sun avoidance, and follow-up.
Important Regulatory Information
Plasonic received FDA 510(k) clearance as a Class II medical device. Its PLAPASS radiofrequency handpiece is cleared for removal and destruction of skin lesions and coagulation of tissue. The FDA clearance does not establish broad cosmetic claims such as overall facial rejuvenation, collagen renewal, pore reduction, acne treatment, or product infusion.
Medical Evaluation May Be Required
Any new, changing, bleeding, irregular, painful, or suspicious lesion should be evaluated by an appropriately qualified medical professional before cosmetic treatment. Device treatment should never replace diagnosis, biopsy, dermatology care, or skin-cancer screening.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Plasonic a cold plasma facial?
Not in the common “plasma shower” sense. The FDA-cleared Plasonic system uses a radiofrequency plasma handpiece for tissue coagulation and selected lesion treatment, plus a separate therapeutic-ultrasound handpiece.
Is Plasonic FDA approved?
Plasonic is FDA cleared through the 510(k) pathway. “FDA cleared” is the accurate term for this Class II device rather than “FDA approved.”
What is the PLAPASS handpiece cleared to treat?
Its cleared indication is removal and destruction of skin lesions and coagulation of tissue. The exact lesion and treatment area still require professional assessment.
Will the treatment tighten or rejuvenate my whole face?
Those broad cosmetic outcomes are not part of the device’s stated FDA-cleared indication. Any proposed cosmetic use should be explained clearly, including whether it is off label and what evidence supports it.
What does the treatment feel like?
Sensation may include warmth, brief stinging, or localized discomfort. Comfort measures depend on the treatment area and procedure.
What downtime should I expect?
Recovery depends on the size, depth, and location of treatment. Redness, swelling, tenderness, crusting, pinpoint bleeding, or temporary discoloration may occur.
Can makeup be applied immediately?
Makeup should not be applied over an open, crusted, or healing area until your provider confirms that it is appropriate.
Who may not be a candidate?
Eligibility may be affected by pregnancy, implanted electronic devices, active infection, open wounds, bleeding disorders, impaired healing, certain medications, uncontrolled medical conditions, or a history of abnormal scarring.
What are the possible risks?
Potential risks include pain, redness, swelling, burns, blistering, infection, prolonged crusting, pigment changes, scarring, contour changes, delayed healing, or an unsatisfactory result.
Plasonic is an FDA-cleared Class II prescription medical device. The PLAPASS handpiece is cleared for removal and destruction of skin lesions and coagulation of tissue. The SONOPASS handpiece has separate therapeutic-ultrasound indications. This page is educational and does not promise broad cosmetic rejuvenation outcomes beyond the device labeling. Treatment should be performed only by appropriately trained professionals using authentic equipment, current instructions, and suitable patient-selection criteria. Individual outcomes and recovery vary.
