Abstract
Abstract
The skin is the body's largest organ and protects against mechanical, thermal, and physical harm. However, the skin's function and appearance decrease visibly with age due to repeated exposure to adverse environmental impacts such as UV rays and toxic substances and the development of oxidative stress in aging. During aging, these factors cause phenotypic changes in the skin, such as wrinkles, pigmentation, loss of elasticity, and moisture. SPARK plasma has been found in studies to preserve skin against aging effectively. The effects of two separate spark plasma device modes with voltages of 3.44 and 4.88 kV on skin health, including pigmentation, skin firmness, elasticity, and moisture loss, were studied using the MPA9 multifunctional skin tester in this study. In addition, utilizing ultrasound, the effectiveness of two plasma modes on skin density and thickness was examined. The findings of this study suggest that spark plasma may slow the skin's aging process by enhancing its elasticity, density, and thickness. However, there were no difficulties or scars at the treatment location at the end of this study, indicating that Spark plasma can be utilized as a new way to delay the aging process.
