At The Doctors Practice in Birmingham, we offer Cold Plasma Therapy (CAP Therapy) with Dr Rinku, a treatment that harnesses the power of plasma energy to rejuvenate, repair, and restore your skin.
Cold Plasma Therapy is a skin treatment that uses ionised plasma to stimulate cellular repair at a deep level. Cold plasma therapy utilises non thermal plasma, specifically cold atmospheric pressure plasma, which operates at room temperature and is distinct from traditional thermal plasma treatments. By encouraging the production of collagen and elastin, this therapy restores firmness, smoothness, and youthful radiance to the skin.
This treatment is part of the emerging field of plasma medicine, which explores the use of cold atmospheric plasma for various medical and dermatological applications.
As a therapeutic technology, CAP Therapy is designed for a wide range of skin concerns and delivers noticeable, long-lasting results with minimal downtime, making it ideal for those seeking a gentle yet effective solution for skin renewal.
Plasma energy helps:
The therapy is delivered using a specialised plasma device.
Dr Platon CAP Therapy is particularly effective for acne, fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation issues, topical steroid withdrawal, and overall skin rejuvenation.
Plasma energy helps by generating reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), which play a key role in tissue regeneration and antimicrobial action. The effectiveness of the treatment is influenced by various chemical and physical factors that affect the interaction of CAP with biological tissues.
Patients often see the most transformational results following treatment.

CAP Therapy can be applied to various areas, including:
CAP Therapy can be used in both direct and indirect applications, targeting the skin’s surface as well as deeper skin tissue for enhanced therapeutic effects. It is effective for treating skin diseases and skin infections in localized areas.
CAP Therapy uses ionised plasma to interact with the skin at a cellular level. The plasma energy:
Stimulates collagen and elastin production
Reduces inflammation and redness
Destroys acne-causing bacteria
Enhances the skin’s natural healing ability
The effectiveness of the therapy depends on CAP exposure, which determines how CAP generates reactive oxygen and nitrogen species that are crucial for skin healing and regeneration. Factors influencing species quantity, such as device settings, plasma type, working gas, and treatment duration, play a significant role in the biological effects and therapeutic outcomes. Both cold atmospheric plasma treatment and atmospheric plasma treatment are used to modulate skin inflammation and promote cell proliferation, supporting optimal skin healing and tissue repair.
This process helps the skin regenerate naturally, improving tone, texture, and overall vitality without surgery or harsh chemicals.
Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) therapy is revolutionising the field of wound healing by harnessing the power of plasma technology to promote tissue regeneration and support the skin’s natural repair processes. When applied to wounds, the cold atmospheric plasma cap generates a blend of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species that work together to reduce surface bacteria, combat infection, and modulate inflammation. This unique combination not only helps to keep the wound environment clean but also stimulates the production of collagen and other essential components needed for effective tissue regeneration.
Unlike traditional thermal treatments, CAP therapy operates at normal atmospheric pressure and low temperatures, making it a non-thermal, non-ablative solution that is gentle on the skin’s surface. This means it can be safely used on chronic wounds and sensitive areas without causing additional damage to healthy tissue. By accelerating wound healing and promoting the regeneration of healthy skin cells, cold atmospheric plasma therapy presents significant promise for those struggling with slow-healing or complex wounds.
CAP therapy offers a minimally invasive approach to wound care. Its ability to generate reactive oxygen and nitrogen species not only supports rapid healing but also helps restore the skin barrier and reduce the risk of infection, making it an invaluable tool in modern skin therapy and tissue regeneration.
Most patients experience mild tingling or warmth; treatment is generally comfortable.

Topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) is increasingly recognised as a condition distinct from eczema. Dr Rinku Ratti explains the medical evidence, why TSW occurs, how it differs from chronic eczema, and what genuinely helps — from careful withdrawal to supportive therapies
Written by Dr Rinku Ratti, GP & Skin Health Specialist TSW Skin disease doesn’t just live on the surface. For many patients with eczema or dermatitis, disrupted sleep, reduced confidence, lost school or work days, and anxiety are daily realities.
