What is PrimeX Plasma Resurfacing?
PrimeX RF Microplasma with IMPACT is a next-generation skin renewal treatment that combines advanced RF microplasma resurfacing and needle-free active delivery for visible skin transformation in one comprehensive session. At Ivory Aesthetics Clinic, we begin this protocol with PrimeX RF Unipolar to maximize collagen stimulation, taking advantage of PrimeX’s high-frequency RF, one of the most powerful in its class, before moving on to resurfacing and regeneration.

Is This Right for You?
Adults with uneven texture, enlarged pores, sun damage, acne scarring, or fine lines who want fractional resurfacing combined with needle-free delivery of active serums, and are prepared for 3-5 days of bronzed crusting as the skin renews..
Pre-Treatment Care
- Drink 2 litres of water daily for 48 hours before to prime the skin
- Stop retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, benzoyl peroxide, and exfoliating scrubs 5-7 days prior
- Avoid unprotected sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanner for 2 weeks before
- Stop aspirin, ibuprofen, and high-dose fish oil/vitamin E 48 hours before (unless prescribed)
- If you have a history of cold sores, start antiviral prophylaxis 24 hours before
- Arrive with a clean, bare face, no makeup or skincare on the treatment area
- Inform us of any pacemaker, ICD, or metal facial implants (contraindications to RF)
Post-Treatment Care
- Drink 2-3 litres of water daily for at least 7 days to support healing and serum uptake
- Use only a gentle cleanser, hyaluronic acid serum or medical moisturizer for the first 5 days
- Apply SPF 50+ mineral sunscreen every morning, reapply every 2 hours outdoors, for 4 weeks
- No hot showers, saunas, hot tubs, or strenuous exercise for 72 hours
- Do not pick or exfoliate the bronzed micro-crusts, let them slough naturally around days 4-5
- Pause retinoids, vitamin C, and acids for 7 days; restart gradually once fully healed
- Mineral makeup can be applied from day 3 if the skin is intact
- Book your next session at the recommended 6-8 week interval for cumulative results
Frequently Asked Questions
What is RF Microplasma and how is it different from laser resurfacing?
RF Microplasma creates microscopic channels of controlled RF energy and plasma in the skin, without needles or light. Unlike ablative laser, it doesn't target melanin, so it is safer on darker skin tones with a lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It still delivers deep collagen remodelling and resurfacing.
What is IMPACT and why do we combine it?
IMPACT is Alma's proprietary needle-free active delivery system. Ultrasound pressure waves push serums (hyaluronic acid, growth factors) deep into the dermis through the micro-channels created by RF. You get resurfacing AND regenerative serum infusion in one session.
What does recovery look like day by day?
Day 1: warm, pink skin, similar to sunburn. Day 2-3: fine bronzed crusting, do not pick. Day 4-5: natural sloughing reveals smoother, brighter skin. Most clients return to work on day 3 with mineral makeup. Full social downtime is typically 3-5 days.
How many sessions will I need?
A course of 2-3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart gives the best result for texture, tone, and pore size. Deeper scarring may benefit from 4. Your practitioner will tailor the plan at consultation.
Can I do this in summer or during sunny travel?
Yes, year-round, but strict SPF 50+ and sun avoidance are essential for 4 weeks afterwards. If you have beach travel planned, schedule at least 2 weeks before or wait until you return.
How is this different from EXION Clear RF Resurfacing?
Both are needle-free fractional RF resurfacing. PrimeX Resurfacing adds Alma's Unipolar RF pre-treatment (for deeper collagen stimulation) and IMPACT serum delivery. EXION uses Smart Microablation with AI-guided energy control. Both are excellent, your practitioner will recommend based on your skin.
