Plasma Pen works by converting electrical energy into an oxygen-and-nitrogen plasma stream. When that gas hits the skin’s surface, it creates microtrauma and causes collagen fibers within the dermis to contract. This creates some immediate firming and a more long-term tightening effect as collagen production ramps up. This treatment is also called fibroblast therapy or “fibroblasting” because of the way it revs up the fibroblast cells responsible for producing collagen.
Plasma Pen can be used almost anywhere on the body, but providers typically reserve it for firming areas on the face.
Plasma Pen effectively treats the upper and lower eyelids – this area heals rapidly and skin contraction is immediate. the actual procedure can last anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the size of the area you’re targeting.
You can target very small areas, such as peri-oral and peri-orbital lines, nasolabial folds, sagging along the jawline, crow’s-feet and even sagging eyelids. The new collagen that results is long-lasting.
The procedure can also be used to treat skin tags, seborrheic keratoses, and stretch marks.
