Overview …
Plasma IQ is a targeted treatment that uses plasma energy to create controlled micro-trauma on the surface of the skin, stimulating tightening and supporting natural skin regeneration.
Unlike laser or IPL-based treatments, Plasma IQ works through a sublimation process, where the plasma energy converts directly into heat at the skin’s surface without cutting into the tissue. This makes it particularly suited to areas where precision is essential, including the upper and lower eyelids.
At Mirabel Clinic, Plasma IQ is used for both aesthetic and minor skin concerns. It can be effective for skin laxity, fine lines and crepiness, as well as for superficial lesions such as skin tags and certain benign growths, where appropriate.
Treatment is carefully planned based on the area being treated and the condition of the skin. The approach is controlled and progressive, with results developing as the skin heals and tightens over time.

Plasma IQ at Mirabel?
At Mirabel Clinic, Plasma IQ is performed following a detailed consultation and assessment to ensure suitability. The treatment is used selectively, particularly in areas where a non-surgical lifting or resurfacing approach may be appropriate.
A handheld device delivers a controlled plasma arc to the skin’s surface without direct contact. This creates tiny, precise points of thermal disruption in the epidermis, causing immediate contraction and triggering a longer-term collagen response. The surrounding tissue remains unaffected, allowing for targeted treatment with controlled healing.
The number of sessions and intensity of treatment will depend on the area and the desired outcome.
What concerns can Plasma IQ treat?
Plasma IQ is commonly used for concerns linked to skin laxity and surface irregularity.
This includes:
• Upper eyelid laxity (non-surgical blepharoplasty)
• Skin tags and certain superficial benign lesions
Suitability depends on both the type of concern and the condition of the skin, which is why assessment is essential before treatment. A consultation with one of our aestheticians will determine what approach is best for your skin.
What does treatment feel like?
A topical anaesthetic is applied before treatment to ensure comfort. During the procedure, most patients feel a sensation of heat or mild prickling as the plasma energy is delivered.
Because the treatment is precise and delivered in small points, discomfort is generally well managed. The experience will vary slightly depending on the area being treated, with more delicate areas requiring a gentler approach.
What results can be expected?
Results from Plasma IQ develop as the skin heals and contracts over time. An initial tightening effect may be visible once the surface has healed, with continued improvement as collagen remodelling takes place.
Downtime is an important consideration. Small carbon crusts form at each treatment point and typically remain visible for several days before naturally shedding. Redness and mild swelling can also occur, particularly in more delicate areas such as the eyelids.
The final result is a gradual improvement in skin tightness, texture and definition, with outcomes that are designed to look natural rather than over-corrected.
Treatment planning and safety
Plasma IQ is a precise treatment that requires careful planning to ensure both safety and optimal results. At Mirabel Clinic, suitability is assessed in detail, taking into account skin type, the area being treated and the nature of the concern.
Not all skin types or conditions are appropriate for Plasma IQ, particularly where there is an increased risk of pigmentation change or impaired healing. This is why a consultation is essential before proceeding.
Treatment intensity, spacing and aftercare are all tailored to the individual. In some cases, a more conservative approach or staged treatment may be recommended to achieve a safe, progressive result.
Following treatment, the skin requires time to heal fully. Adhering to aftercare advice, particularly around hygiene, skin protection and avoiding premature disruption of the healing process, plays an important role in achieving the best outcome.
At Mirabel, Plasma IQ is used where it is clinically appropriate, often as part of a wider treatment plan, ensuring results are balanced, considered and aligned with the condition of the skin.
