Apparatus and method for cold plasma skin resurfacing

Abstract

An apparatus and method for cold plasma skin resurfacing is provided. In one aspect, a mask for use in fractionated skin resurfacing is provided. The mask includes a plurality of apertures distributed across a surface of the mask. The mask may be made of a flexible material including an adhesive surface, such that the mask may be applied to a contoured surface of a patient's skin while remaining fixed in place. The material is resistant to the effects of a cold plasma beam. In this way, a cold plasma beam applicator may be used to scan or apply a cold plasma beam over a surface of the mask, such that only the portions of a patient's skin exposed by the apertures of the mask are treated by the cold plasma beam.
