The small study published in the "Archives of Dermatology" followed the results of eight participants over a three-month treatment period using low-energy plasma skin regenerations.
Plasma skin regeneration treatments have been used to reduce wrinkles and superficial lesions of the skin.
Researcher Melissa A. Bogle, MD and colleagues wrote, "The healing time in our study averaged approximately five days per treatment; however, this was a patient-assessed number that included days it took for any residual redness and peeling to completely resolve.
"While nearly a week of healing time may not seem to be an improvement over other minimally invasive resurfacing procedures and micropeels, the intensity of the healing process is quite minor, which makes it an attractive option for many patients," according to Bogle.
