NEOGEN PSR: Nitrogen thermal plasma technology to remodel collagen.
NEOGEN Reaches Collagen Where Other Devices Can’t.
Here at The Westrick Clinic, based in Lacombe, AB., we turn back time and we don’t just treat the surface of your skin. The NEOGEN Plasma is the most advanced, pain-free plasma technology on the market that targets the deepest layers of your skin, rebuilding collagen, eliminating dull texture and reducing fine lines where it matters most.
How does the NeoGen work?
The NeoGen uses nitrogen plasma energy, not light, not lasers to safely heat the deeper layers of your skin. This heat stimulates your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, triggering a complete skin renewal process from the inside out.
NeoGEN doesn’t just resurface your skin, it rebuilds and stimulates baby collagen on your neck, face, hands, chest, ears and knees.

That’s where NeoGen Lift comes in for your face, neck, ears, hands, chest.
This non-surgical plasma treatment helps restore your skin’s natural strength stimulating collagen types I, II, and IV plus elastin to tighten and renew from within. Even patients who’ve had facelifts turn to NeoGen to revive their skin’s health and radiance.
Let us be your guide back to firmer, brighter, naturally rejuvenated skin.
Modern Technology - Nitrogen Plasma
NEOGEN delivers controlled thermal energy to the skin to stimulate collagen production and promote skin regeneration, resulting in improved skin texture, tone, and firmness. It achieves this without removing the outer layer of skin, unlike ablative laser treatments.

Three Intensities - Skin Laxity
NeoGen PSR (Plasma Skin Regeneration)
NeoGen converting nitrogen gas into plasma energy to heat the skin and stimulate collagen production. By delivering thermal energy, NeoGen Plasma targets deep tissue in the skin, triggering a regenerative, natural healing response. NeoGen Plasma treatments offer varying levels of intensity, from low to high, each resulting in different outcomes and downtime.
Low Intensity
Low intensity treatments spread out over a few months, which, in the end, will stack up to significant major results. Experience some redness and dryness, minimal downtime.
Medium Intensity
Faster results with longer downtime. A topical is required for no discomfort.
High Intensity
Get the fastest results. A topical will be required and you can expect up to 10 days social downtime.









How NeoGen Works Step-By-Step
Unlike traditional lasers, NeoGen:
Preserves the epidermis as a natural healing barrier
Works on all skin tones
Requires minimal downtime (typically 3–7 days of mild redness and flaking)
Plasma Creation
Nitrogen gas is energized into a plasma state.
Thermal Transfer
Plasma energy delivers controlled heat to the dermis.
Natural Healing
Fibroblasts produce new collagen and elastin.
Long-Term Remodeling
Skin structure and tone improve for up to 12 months post-treatment.

NeoGen General Questions
NeoGen Plasma is manufactured in the UK, FDA cleared (K221873) for 7 indications since 2013, clinically proven by +30 IRB clinical studies and approved by Health Canada.
Sun damage can cause your skin to age prematurely.
Your skin can become very dry, and develop deep wrinkles, brown lesions (called liver spots), or rough, crusty patches called solar keratosis.
NeoGen Plasma treatments stimulate skin resurfacing when the thermal energy hits the skin it triggers a natural skin healing response. The treated skin tissue remains intact and then gradually peels away, leaving newly formed skin tissue underneath. Any pigmentation or sun damage in the layer of treated skin is removed as the skin peels away.
You may notice improvements in your skin within a few weeks, with full results appearing as your skin heals and renews over the next few months.
Most people feel only a slight warmth during the treatment. We have a very specifically compounded numbing cream that is applied to help reduce any discomfort.
The number of sessions depends on your skin concerns and goals. Typically, a series of 2-4 treatments spaced a few weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.
Because there is no cutting and no needles, very little side effects occur. Common side effects include redness and slight swelling at the treatment site, but these usually subside within a few days.
Unlike many resurfacing technologies that primarily treat the skin's surface, NeoGen PSR uses nitrogen plasma technology to deliver controlled thermal energy into deeper layers of the skin. This stimulates the skin's natural healing response and collagen remodeling, helping improve skin firmness, texture, elasticity and the appearance of age-related volume loss over time.
Both NeoGen PSR and CO₂ laser resurfacing improve wrinkles, sun damage, skin texture, and signs of aging. The biggest difference is how they deliver energy into the skin. NeoGen PSR uses nitrogen plasma, while CO₂ lasers use light energy to vaporize microscopic columns of skin. The best treatment depends on your skin concerns, skin type, downtime preferences, and treatment goals.
What is the difference between NeoGen and a CO₂ laser?
NeoGen PSR delivers controlled nitrogen plasma energy that creates a thermal effect within the skin while leaving portions of the epidermal barrier intact. This stimulates the skin's natural healing response and collagen remodeling.
CO₂ laser resurfacing uses concentrated light energy that is absorbed by water in the skin to remove or vaporize tissue, creating controlled resurfacing and collagen remodeling.
Which treatment stimulates more collagen?
Both treatments stimulate collagen remodeling.
NeoGen PSR is recognized for delivering controlled thermal energy into deeper skin layers while preserving more of the skin's natural architecture than traditional fully ablative resurfacing. This can promote collagen remodeling with customizable treatment depths.
CO₂ lasers also stimulate significant collagen remodeling, particularly with ablative or fractional treatments, and remain a well-established option for skin resurfacing.
Is NeoGen safer than a CO₂ laser?
Neither treatment is universally "safer." Both have benefits and risks when performed by trained providers.
The most appropriate treatment depends on:
- Your skin type
- Degree of sun damage
- Wrinkle severity
- Pigmentation risk
- Desired downtime
- Medical history
A professional consultation is the best way to determine which option is suitable for you.
Which treatment has less downtime?
Downtime varies depending on treatment intensity.
Both NeoGen PSR and CO₂ laser treatments can be customized, with lighter treatments generally involving shorter recovery and more intensive treatments requiring longer healing.
Your provider will recommend an approach based on your goals and lifestyle.
Which treatment is better for wrinkles?
Both can improve:
- Fine lines
- Deeper wrinkles
- Sun damage
- Uneven skin texture
- Skin laxity
The best choice depends on the severity of your skin concerns and your desired recovery time. Best to have a free consultation with Registered Nurse Sue West to determine if NEOGEN is the right treatment for you.
No.
NeoGen PSR is not a laser. It uses nitrogen plasma technology rather than light energy to deliver controlled thermal energy into the skin. Health Canada Approved License: 107606
How Does NeoGen PSR Work?
NeoGen PSR is a Health Canada licensed medical device (Licence 107606) that uses nitrogen plasma technology rather than laser light to rejuvenate the skin. Unlike lasers, which rely on a specific wavelength or chromophore to absorb energy, NeoGen converts medical-grade nitrogen gas into plasma, delivering controlled thermal energy throughout the skin.
Because the energy is not chromophore-dependent, NeoGen distributes heat more uniformly through the skin's architecture. The treatment can reach into the deeper dermis, where collagen remodeling occurs, while allowing the skin's natural healing process to regenerate healthier tissue over time.
What Makes NeoGen Different from a Laser?
Most laser technologies deliver light energy that is absorbed by a specific target such as water, melanin, or hemoglobin.
NeoGen PSR uses nitrogen plasma, the fourth state of matter, to deliver thermal energy instead of light energy. This allows treatment of the entire skin architecture, rather than only isolated microscopic treatment columns, supporting comprehensive skin regeneration.
As collagen remodels and the skin's supporting structure strengthens, many patients experience improvements in:
- Skin firmness
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Crepey skin
- Uneven texture
- Sun damage
- Acne scars
- The appearance of mild age-related volume loss
- Overall skin quality and elasticity
NeoGen is not a dermal filler, so it does not replace lost facial volume directly. Instead, it helps improve the appearance of volume loss by strengthening and remodelling the skin's own support structure.
