A non-thermal plasma for use in the treatment of an infected nail or infected skin. The plasma is used in the method by (a) applying the plasma to the infected nail or skin; (b) rehydrating the infected nail or skin; (c) applying the plasma to the infected nail or skin; and (d) optionally rehydrating the infected nail or skin.

In each of steps (a) and (c) the plasma is applied to a portion of the nail or skin until a hydration level of the plasma-treated portion drops by at most 30 wt % based on the initial moisture content of the plasma-treated portion.

The present invention relates to a skin treatment apparatus using plasma. A plasma generator (400) comprises an electrode plate (420), an upper dielectric body (430), independent electrode portions (440) and a lower dielectric body (450). The independent electrode portion is an FPCB or a silver paste positioned a fixed distance away. According to the present invention, the electrode portions each independently work and thus prevent unevenness of plasma and enable the plasma to be generated evenly. According to the present invention, the plasma generator having such configuration is easily formed into a convex shape, and a convex plasma generator is suitable for a curved skin object such as the palm. The convex plasma generator can generate more even plasma and is particularly more effective for a long cylindrical object to be treated, such as the woman's vagina.

The present disclosure discloses a discharge plasma disinfection device and method thereof. In the disinfection device, a gliding arc electrode pair generates the RNS-dominated reactive gas under the excitation of a gliding arc high-voltage power supply; and a dielectric barrier discharge electrode pair generates the ROS-dominated reactive gas under the excitation of a dielectric barrier discharge high-voltage power supply. These two reactive gases are introduced into a mixing chamber in a specific ratio and are subjected to an effective mixing reaction through an internal recycle system to obtain RNS/ROS mixed reactive gas in which reactive nitrogen species and reactive oxygen species coexist. The RNS/ROS mixed reactive gas may be directly configured to perform disinfection, and may also be configured to process an aqueous solution and then perform disinfection by the processed plasma-activated water.

An array of non-thermal plasma emitters is controlled to emit plasma based on application of an electric current at desired frequencies and a controlled power level. A power supply for an array controller includes a transformer that operates at the resonant frequency of the combined capacitance of the array and the cable connecting the array to the power supply. The power into the array is monitored by the controller and can be adjusted by the user. The controller monitors reflected power characteristics, such as harmonics of the alternating current, to determine initiation voltage of the plasma and/or resonant frequency plasma emitters. The array of non-thermal plasma emitters may be used in therapeutic, diagnostic, and/or medical sanitization applications, including where a non-thermal plasma treatment regimen is prescribed.
