PlaDuopro
Plasma Skin Resurfacing in Little Rock
If you’ve been looking for a way to improve your skin’s tone, texture, and firmness without the intensity of a full laser resurfacing treatment, PlaDuopro may be the answer. Dr. Suzanne Yee is proud to offer this advanced dual plasma technology at her Little Rock practice, giving patients a customizable treatment experience with visible results and less downtime than traditional resurfacing options.
PlaDuopro is the world’s first skin revitalization system to combine both nitrogen and argon plasma in one device. This means Dr. Yee can tailor every session to your specific skin concerns, switching between treatment modes to address everything from fine lines and dullness to acne scarring and skin laxity — all in a single visit.
What Is PlaDuopro?
PlaDuopro is a next-generation plasma device that uses ionized gas — called plasma — to revitalize the skin at a cellular level. Unlike lasers, which rely on focused light energy, plasma interacts more gently with the skin while still triggering the body’s natural collagen and elastin production.
What sets PlaDuopro apart is its dual-mode system. It delivers two types of plasma energy, each with a different purpose:
Nitrogen Plasma (N-Toning) Nitrogen plasma penetrates into the deeper layers of the skin, stimulating your body’s own collagen renewal process. This mode is ideal for improving overall skin quality, smoothing texture, reducing fine lines, and restoring a natural glow. Think of it as resetting your skin’s renewal cycle from the inside out.
Argon Plasma (Ar-Toning) Argon plasma works closer to the skin’s surface, producing a photochemical reaction that calms inflammation, reduces bacteria, and helps even out skin tone. This mode is especially effective for patients dealing with active acne, redness, enlarged pores, or post-inflammatory discoloration.
Dr. Yee can use one or both plasma modes during your session, adjusting the energy levels across 15 customizable settings to match your skin’s needs, your goals, and your available downtime.
What Does PlaDuopro Treat?
One of the biggest advantages of PlaDuopro is its versatility. Because dual plasma technology addresses both surface-level and deeper skin concerns, it can help with a wide range of issues:
Active Acne and Acne Scarring
PlaDuopro is especially effective for acne. Argon plasma’s antibacterial properties target the bacteria that cause breakouts, making it a powerful option for active acne on the face, chest, and back. For patients dealing with post-acne scarring, nitrogen plasma helps remodel scar tissue and smooth uneven texture over a series of treatments.
Rosacea and Redness
Patients who struggle with persistent redness, flushing, or rosacea can benefit from argon plasma’s anti-inflammatory properties. PlaDuopro helps calm reactive skin and reduce visible redness for a more even, balanced complexion.
Enlarged Pores
Plasma treatments help tighten and visibly reduce pore size for a smoother, more refined complexion. This is one of the improvements patients tend to notice early in their treatment series.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Plasma energy stimulates collagen production to smooth fine lines around the eyes, mouth, forehead, and other areas where early signs of aging appear.
Uneven Skin Texture
Rough, bumpy, or uneven skin responds well to plasma resurfacing. PlaDuopro refines the skin’s surface for a smoother, more even feel.
Skin Laxity and Loss of Firmness
By triggering new collagen and elastin deep in the dermis, PlaDuopro helps restore firmness and a more lifted appearance, particularly in the lower face, jawline, and neck.
Dull or Uneven Skin Tone
Sun damage, melasma, and general dullness can all be addressed with PlaDuopro’s dual-mode approach.
Surgical or Post-Procedure Scarring
Plasma energy helps remodel scar tissue for a smoother, less visible appearance.
Common Treatment Areas
PlaDuopro can be used on most areas of the face and body where skin renewal is needed:
- Full face
- Neck and jawline
- Around the eyes (crow’s feet, under-eye texture)
- Around the mouth (lip lines, smile lines)
- Chest and décolletage (upper chest)
- Back (especially for acne)
- Hands
- Surgical scar sites

What to Expect During Your PlaDuopro Treatment
Before Your Treatment Your session starts with a consultation where Dr. Yee evaluates your skin and discusses your concerns, goals, and lifestyle. Based on this assessment, she’ll create a customized treatment plan — including which plasma mode to use, energy levels, and how many sessions may be needed for your best results.
The treatment area is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. A light mist of water may be applied to the skin before treatment to enhance the plasma’s interaction with your skin.
During Your Treatment PlaDuopro’s patented SpinShot handpiece delivers plasma energy with a controlled 360-degree rotation, ensuring even coverage and consistent results across the treatment area. Most patients describe the sensation as gentle warmth on the skin. Treatment time varies depending on the area and settings, but most sessions take between 20 and 45 minutes.
After Your Treatment You may notice some redness immediately after treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. Depending on the intensity of your session, you may also experience light swelling or a feeling of tightness. These effects typically resolve within a few days.
Downtime varies based on your customized treatment plan:
- Light settings (N-Toning): Minimal downtime. Many patients return to normal activities the same day or the next.
- Moderate to deeper settings (Ar-Toning or combination): You may experience 3 to 7 days of visible healing, including mild peeling or flaking as new skin emerges.
Dr. Yee will discuss the expected recovery timeline during your consultation so you can plan accordingly.
PlaDuopro Results
Dr. Yee recommends a series of PlaDuopro treatments for the best results. Plasma energy works by progressively stimulating your skin’s collagen and elastin production with each session, and it’s this cumulative effect that produces the most visible, lasting improvement.
You may notice some initial changes in skin tone and radiance within the first couple of weeks, but the real transformation builds over the course of your full treatment series. Collagen remodeling continues for 3 to 6 months after each session, so results keep improving between appointments.
During your consultation, Dr. Yee will recommend a treatment plan tailored to your specific concerns, typically a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart.
Who Is a Good Candidate for PlaDuopro?
PlaDuopro is a good option for men and women who want to improve their skin’s appearance without surgery. Because plasma energy is not pigment-dependent, it is safe for a wide range of skin types and tones.
You may be a good candidate for PlaDuopro if you:
- Struggle with active acne on your face, chest, or back
- Deal with persistent redness or rosacea
- Want to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores

The best way to find out if PlaDuopro is right for you is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Yee. She’ll evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and recommend the most effective treatment plan for your unique needs.
