Plasma Pen skin-tightening treatment
Plasma Pen is a new-era, skin-tightening technology, designed to lift, tighten and reduce loose skin.
What is Plasma Pen skin-tightening treatment?
Plasma Pen is a non-surgical solution to lift, tighten and reduce loose skin. It works by placing the probe near to the skin, which produces an arc of plasma energy; this then superficially evaporates and causes the immediate surrounding area of skin to contract and tighten, giving your skin a rejuvenated, natural and more youthful appearance.
Plasma Pen can reduce excess skin in areas that, up until now, often required surgery, such as the upper and lower eyelid. It’s also hugely effective in treating crow’s feet, lines around the mouth, smoker’s lines and superficial lines and loose skin commonly seen on the neck, décolletage and tummy.
During the treatment, a series of tiny brown spots are strategically placed on the area of concern. You will see an almost immediate effect as the skin in this area tightens and lifts. Over a period of days after the treatment, the fibroblasts in the skin produce new collagen and elastin, giving a more youthful effect.
The non-surgical alternative to Blepharoplasty
Plasma Pen treatment is hugely popular for non-surgical blepharoplasty, more commonly known as the ‘non-surgical eyelid lift’. Rather than having to cut away excess skin with invasive cosmetic surgery, Plasma Pen treatment is a safer and effective alternative for those looking to tighten and lift the skin around the eye area. The use of precisely-applied energy to target superficial skin cells makes this treatment ideal for the sensitive areas around the eyes.
The typical procedure time for the eye area would be 30-60 minutes, with a recovery time of 7-10 days. Results can last from 18 months to 3 years.
What areas can be treated with Plasma Pen?
Plasma Pen is designed to treat upper and lower eyelids, crow’s feet, upper lip, smoker’s lines, smile lines, loose skin on the neck and cheeks and loose skin on the tummy.
What can I expect during my treatment?
After a detailed consultation, I will answer all of your questions, advise you as to your likely outcome and give you info for taking care of your skin post-treatment. On the day of your treatment, a numbing cream will be applied to make the treatment more comfortable. I will then create strategically-placed micro-millimeter-sized pulses of plasma to the area of concern, which will create a small brown dot on the skin and immediately tighten the cells together. The results of your treatment will continue to improve for up to 3 to 4 months post treatment.
How many treatments are required?
This will vary from person to person and may depend on the area being treated. For example, older, looser skin will require more than one session but, generally, between one and two sessions are recommended every 12 weeks, although visible results can be seen after just one treatment. This will be discussed at the initial consultation.
Is there any downtime?
This can vary from person to person and depends on the area being treated but five to 10 days is the general expectation. Recovery time for the eyes is generally 7 to 10 days – it is normal for the eyes to be swollen for the first two to four days. It is recommended that you don’t apply makeup until the little brown dots have fallen away..
What is the aftercare?
I will provide you with a post-treatment homecare kit to keep your skin clean and safe while it recovers. It is essential that you do not pick at the little brown dots but rather let them fall away naturally. Dry healing is best.
What can I expect after my treatment?
After the treatment, I will give you the aftercare instructions. Please follow the instructions thoroughly.
