Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) for Acne and Acne Scars

Advanced, Non-Invasive Acne Treatment in Cornelius, NC

If you are struggling with active acne or lingering acne scars, Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) offers a scientifically advanced, non-invasive solution. At Saluja Cosmetic and Laser Center in Cornelius, NC, located in the Lake Norman area just outside Charlotte, NC, we use the Prism Plasma device to deliver targeted acne treatment that calms inflammation, eliminates bacteria, and promotes clearer, smoother skin—safely and effectively.

What Is Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP)?

Cold Atmospheric Plasma is a groundbreaking skincare technology that uses ionized gas to address skin issues at the cellular level. Unlike lasers or microneedling, CAP treatments are non-thermal and non-invasive, delivering precise plasma energy that stimulates healing, balances oil production, and reduces inflammation.

For patients with acne, CAP is a dual-action treatment—it clears active breakouts and simultaneously improves the appearance of acne scars by promoting collagen regeneration and skin renewal.

How Cold Atmospheric Plasma Works

Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) delivers ionized gas to the skin to target acne at its source:

Destroys acne-causing bacteria like Cutibacterium acnes

Reduces inflammation and calms active breakouts

Stimulates collagen to heal skin and minimize scarring

Balances oil production to prevent future breakouts

Why It’s Effective for Acne

CAP targets the key causes of acne—bacteria, excess oil, and inflammation—offering a safe and effective treatment that delivers both short- and long-term skin improvements:

Eliminates harmful microbes without damaging skin

Supports healthy tissue repair and smoother texture

Soothes irritated skin and reduces visible redness
