PLASMA TREATMENT DEVICE FOR PLASMA TREATMENT OF A SKIN SURFACE

The invention relates to a plasma treatment device for treating a skin surface containing living cells with a dielectric barrier plasma, comprising:a housing with a grip;a treatment head arranged on the housing;an electrode arrangement provided on the treatment head with at least one electrode and a dielectric that completely covers the electrode to the treated surface, said dielectric having a treatment surface and being configured with the at least one electrode in such a way that the at least one electrode engages as a counter electrode with the skin surface to be treated in order to generate the plasma; anda high-voltage stage arranged in the housing for generating high-voltage signals required for generating the plasma, wherein said high-voltage stage is or can be brought into electrical contact with the at least one electrode of the electrode arrangement by means of a connection arrangement comprising at least one high-voltage supply line;characterized in that the electrode arrangement is arranged in the housing (11) such that it can be moved and a drive arrangement with at least one motor (30) and one drive train (31) is provided in the housing (11), said drive train being operatively connected with the electrode arrangement for motor-driven movement, while the electrode (19) is in or can be brought into electrical contact with the high-voltage stage (15) via the connection arrangement (35) for the purpose of generating the dielectric barrier plasma between the electrode (19) and the skin surface acting as a counter electrode.
