What is Safety and Efficacy of Helium Plasma for Subdermal Coagulation about?

Background: Surgical and nonsurgical treatments or procedures are often combined to achieve desired aesthetic results. A novel helium-based plasma device has recently been developed to briefly heat soft tissue which coagulates collagen and achieves additional tissue contraction through neocollagenesis and tissue remodeling. Two chart reviews were performed on patients who had undergone liposuction combined with helium plasma treatment. Objectives: The primary objective was to evaluate the safety of these combined procedures. Secondary objectives were to assess aesthetic improvements and overall subject satisfaction. Methods: Both studies retrospectively reviewed medical records for adult subjects undergoing a subdermal coagulation procedure with the helium plasma device following liposuction. One review included pre-and posttreatment subject images and subject satisfaction. Results: Study 1 identified 37 subjects who were male (n = 6) and female (n = 31), 21-70-years old with a mean body mass index (BMI) of 27 kg/m 2 (range, 18-41 kg/m 2 ). Study 2 identified 148 eligible subjects. Most subjects were female (n = 120), 21-84-years old with a mean BMI of 27 kg/m 2 (range, 18-44 kg/m
