1. A low-power atmospheric pressure plasma source, comprising:
- a plasma-forming region;
an excitation region located downstream of said plasma-forming region; and
a narrow converging plasma exit;
wherein a plasma-forming gas is injected in said plasma-forming region at a flow rate of a few SLM and a source reactive species is injected in said excitation region, said source producing a narrow plasma jet through said narrow converging plasma exit.

Abstract
A low-power atmospheric pressure plasma source, comprising a plasma-forming region for injection of a plasma-forming gas; an excitation region for injection of a source reactive species downstream of the plasma-forming region; and a narrow converging plasma exit for producing a narrow plasma jet, the source being electrically decoupled from a substrate under treatment by the plasma jet. The present source may found applications for example for skin treatment, etching of skin cancer cells, detachment of cells, removal of skin pigmentation and deposition of temporary organic films.
