Cold plasma therapy – innovation meets medicine

The quantum leap in dermatology

Treatment with cold atmospheric plasma activates the body’s own regeneration processes. Reactive species stimulate cell metabolism, which promotes the overall healing process of the skin. In addition, cold plasma activates the release of cytokine proteins, which regulate cell growth and differentiation.¹⁰

Cold plasma easily inactivates viruses, bacteria (including multi-resistant pathogens) and spores.^1,^2,^3,^4,^5,^6,^7,^8,⁹

Treatment with cold plasma activates the regeneration of the skin through the body’s own healing processes, without any resistance, allergens or side effects. As a result, cold plasma also has a soothing effect on the skin in cases of itching or inflammation, for example.

Cold plasma therapy should be available in every doctor’s surgery

‘Cold atmospheric plasma works quickly, safely and efficiently. It helps to avoid antibiotic resistance. To date, it has no demonstrable undesirable side effects. In my opinion, cold plasma therapy belongs in every practice and also in the home care sector. Cold plasma therapy has completely convinced me in the treatment of my patients.’

Simple treatment procedure

Treat effectively, painlessly and quickly

First clean the area to be treated manually. Then remove the hand-held device from the charging cradle and attach a spacer. You can set the application time to 1 minute or 2 minutes by simply pressing a button.

Hold the ViroCAP derma with the spacer approx. 5 mm above the area to be treated and start the application at the touch of a button.

An acoustic signal indicates after 30 seconds that the device can be continued.

A spacer is activated for 20 minutes when the first application is started. You can therefore carry out 20 applications per 1 minute or 10 applications per 2 minutes on the patient and thus treat larger areas without any problems.

After use, the biocompatible plastic spacer is disposed of and ointments or serums containing active ingredients can be applied if required.

No direct contact with skin
Optimised handling
Up to 45 applications per battery charge
Just 128 g light
Easy to use
