Plasma Pen
The Plasma Pen is an FDA-approved treatment for lines, wrinkles, and droopy skin. It is non-invasive and non-surgical, used on the face and body. The device creates an electrical arc that ionizes the air above the wrinkle, which causes the skin to tighten and contract. It targets the fibroblast cell in the connective tissue. A series of dots along the skin triggers tightening, lifting, and collagen regrowth.

How does Plasma Pen work?
The Plasma Pen emits a controlled electric charge that delivers plasma gas particles, creating micro-injuries in the skin. The body responds by increasing cell turnover and producing collagen and elastin. Higher settings can vaporize excess skin tissue in certain areas.
It is a no-contact device. The charge delivers plasma gas particles that create micro-injuries on the skin's surface and vaporize excess tissue. Those micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing response, which regenerates skin cells and forms new collagen and elastin. Small scabs form over the treated areas and flake off within a week, leaving tighter, smoother skin.
What is treatment like?
A topical numbing cream is usually applied 30 minutes before treatment to minimize pain. The Plasma Pen is set to deliver the right amount of plasma energy, then run above the treatment area against a pattern of dots marked on the skin. The device never touches the skin. It delivers the energy from above. Treatment runs 30 to 60 minutes. The upper and lower eyelids take about 30 minutes, while larger areas take longer.
What is recovery like?
After the procedure, mild scabs and crusts form, and some swelling can occur. The crusts usually clear by the 5th to 7th day, leaving smooth skin. Mild redness lasts 2 to 4 weeks and can be covered with foundation.
