PLADUOpro Combines Argon and Nitrogen for Consistent Plasma Treatments with Spin-Shot Control

Aesthetic Management Partners has launched PLADUOpro, a dual argon and nitrogen gas plasma system for skin restoration that includes a Spin-Shot technology, designed to avoid inconsistent gas ionization–a result of over 20 years of research by Shenb, the manufacturer of the device.

The downtime or trauma typically associated with other methods is not experienced with plasma, says Adrian Bishop, president and co-founder of Aesthetic Management Partners.

Combining argon and nitrogen plasma was a breakthrough for this device, he adds, a result of over 20 years of research from Shenb, per a June 5 press release. Shenb is a South Korean company that specializes in medical devices for skin and obesity management, and this particular device led Shenb to discover that these gases’ synergy allows for effective treatment at a much lower thermal load, compared to traditional plasma devices that commonly use nitrogen or helium gas. 

“This dual-gas approach amplifies results while minimizing risk, offering a safer, more comfortable experience for patients,” Bishop says. “It enables treatment of multiple skin concerns in a single session.”

Argon was chosen for its antibacterial properties and safety profile, helping cleanse the skin and minimize bacterial load, while nitrogen is well-studied for promoting cell turnover and skin renewal, he explains. When used in sequence–not simultaneously–these gases penetrate the skin differently by complementing each other. 

“This approach amplifies results while minimizing risk, offering a safer, more comfortable experience for patients,” Bishop says. “It enables treatment of multiple skin concerns in a single session with outstanding outcomes.”

Although plasma devices for rejuvenation are not new solutions, traditional plasma systems typically use a single gas and rely on thermal effects, whereas a dual-gas method reduces the thermal load while still achieving therapeutic temperatures that trigger collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid production, he explains. 

The PLADUOpro device includes its patented Spin-Shot technology to avoid inconsistent gas ionization–an incident that can cause uneven treatments and overheating. This allows practitioners to fine-tune energy delivery with precision, enhancing safety and accelerating outcomes across all skin types, per the release. 

The technology uses vortex airflow inside the handpiece, ensuring consistent, metered plasma delivery. Vortex airflow prevents gas backup, reduces handpiece heat and allows for faster treatments. It also increases device longevity and enhances patient comfort by delivering a uniform, controlled energy dose to the skin, Bishop adds.

“Clinicians report that PLADUOpro feels entirely different from lasers, IPL, ultrasound or RF,” he says. “Plasma interacts more gently with the skin and can be used in a non-ablative mode, building results with each treatment.”
