What is a Plasma Pen treatment?

The Plasma Pen uses a small handheld device that generates a tiny plasma arc (a controlled spark) when it comes close to the skin - without actually touching it. This arc creates micro-trauma to the skin's surface, which triggers the body's natural healing response and stimulates the production of: 

• Collagen
• Elastin
• Fibroblasts (cells that help with skin repair and firmness)

This results in skin tightening, lifting and textural improvements over time.

Plasma pen is especially popular for treating:

• Eyelid tightening (non surgical blepharoplasty)
• Fine lines and wrinkles (around the mouth, eyes and forehead)
• Crow's feet
• Loose skin (neck, jawline or decolletage)
• Age spots or sun damage
• Acne scars or stretch marks
• Removal of skin tags

What to expect during your treatment?

We always recommend booking a consultation before as we need to assess your skin and see if you're a suitable candidate for a plasma pen treatment. Before we start, we apply a topical numbing cream and numb the skin for at least 30 - 45 minutes to give you the most comfortable experience. During your treatment the plasma pen creates tiny carbon dots (small crusts) on the skin in the targeted area. Each dot creates a micro-burn that begins the contraction and healing process. No blood or open wounds occur - the epidermis remains mostly intact. This process is fairly quick. Once we've completed your treatment we'll discuss the aftercare instructions to support healing and prevent complications. 

Healing Timeline & Results:

Long-term: Results can last 2 -3 years with proper skincare and sunprotection

Immediately after: Redness, swelling and dotting (crusts form over eachdot)

Days 1 - 7: Dots dry and flake off naturally

Weeks 2 - 4: Skin appears tighter and smoother

Weeks 4 - 12: Full fibroblast activation and collagen remodellingtakesplace
