PLASMA PEN - DRAMATIC LONG LASTING RESULTS!

No incision, no stitches, and no bandages. Just pure results. The Plasma Pen is the latest in the cutting-edge plasma application devices for non-surgical, non-invasive skin lifting, tightening, and rejuvenation. The Plasma Pen is a hand-held device that delivers energy to the skin, stimulating fibroblasts; the collagen-producing cells that are essential to youthful-looking skin. This cosmetic procedure offers an improved and more precise method of treating ageing conditions such as an eye lift, mouth lift, or neck lift.

The Plasma Pen is an FDA approved device used to perform fibroblast therapy to stimulate the production of collagen in the skin. The Plasma Pen is a device that imparts energy into the air and ionizes the gas that’s in the air, nitrogen, oxygen, and creates a plasma stream. This device hugely popular in Asia and Europe as a proven anti-ageing treatment. As a result, the plasma treatment, the skin is tightened, resurfaced, and regenerated precisely in the areas of skin our patients need.

A consultation is required prior to the treatment.

In nature, there are four states of matter – solids, liquids, gases and plasma. Matter only becomes a plasma when enough energy is delivered to split the atoms into electrons and the output of this is a ‘plasma cloud’ of charged particles which consist of free radicals, positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons and molecules.

Our device creates an electrical discharge between two electrodes which are separated by an ‘insulating dielectric barrier’. As the charge collects on the surface of our dielectric barrier, it discharges as a flash of plasma within millionths of a second. An intelligent combination of the design of our device and its continuous direct energy source ionises the nitrogen and oxygen in the air to create a plasma gas which is then both sustained and continuous in line with the unique fingertip control and on-demand nature of our Plasma Pen device. Although we are creating collisions between molecules and causing the emission of energetic photons, the energy required to do this is actually minimal so our device is (and only needs to be) low-voltage. The plasma we create with our device transfers to the skin with absolute precision and does not harm any of the surrounding tissue.

The first and most immediate effect is delivered to the outer layer of the epidermis where we create external micro-trauma which helps immediately contract and tighten the skin. The next major effect is that the plasma simultaneously penetrates down into the fibroblasts which are contained deeper within the dermis below and, in doing so, we stimulate accelerated fibroblast division and migration, as well as encouraging neovascularisation – the natural formation of new blood vessels and the release of growth factors. These growth factors include fibroblast growth factors, platelet-derived endothelial growth factors and cytokines. Cytokines are small proteins that are very important in cell signalling and which affect the behaviour of cells around them. They help modulate our immune response, they regulate cell maturation (aging) and quarterback the growth of new cells. They are particularly important in directing our bodies response to the inflammation trauma that we cause because they stimulate both cell repair and new cell reproduction..

Plasma fibroblast therapy provides many aesthetic advantages, much like those after surgical lifts but without knives and anesthesia.

The most prominent benefits include the following:

• Skin tightness. The after-procedure effects include taught, elastic skin that is firmer and has a visibly improved texture.

• Skin repair. The boost in collagen and elastin production regenerates the skin by triggering cell renewal and epidermal repair.

• Lifted skin. The treatment reduces skin laxity and lifts drooping eyelids, sagging jowls, and loose neck folds, creating a more youthful appearance.

• Smooth under-eye area. The device tightens the skin around the eyes, targeting fine lines and creases, and minimizing dark circles and puffiness in the undereye region.

• Wrinkle reduction. The pen effectively reduces lines, creases, and wrinkles, such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, marionette lines, and nasolabial folds.

• Stretch marks reduction. The treatment does not specifically target stretch marks, but it can decrease their visibility by reducing loose or sagging skin through collagen synthesis.

• Loose belly skin reduction. The Plasma Pen minimizes the appearance of loose belly skin (e.g., the postpartum pooch) by contracting the skin through collagen stimulation.

• Loose arm skin tightening. The device can also address skin laxity in the under-arm area that typically occurs after a sudden or significant weight loss.

• Scar tissue reduction. The procedure is commonly used for treating acne and post-injury scars. The device can reduce skin discoloration, improve uneven skin texture, and fill in mildly depressed lesions, such as atrophic scars.

• Age spots and sunspots reduction. The controlled micro-injuries induce collagen remodeling and promote skin cell renewal that can mildly improve skin tone. However, the process does not specifically target pigmentation issues.

• Added lip volume. The Plasma Pen provides a subtle plumping effect, defines lip contours, and enhances the overall appearance of lips by smoothing out the surrounding creases and wrinkles.

• Long-lasting results. The treatment itself does not stop the aging process, but the results are durable and may last up to 3 years.

On the Fitzpatrick Skin Type Scale (The Fitzpatrick Skin Type is a skin classification system developed in 1975 by Thomas Fitzpatrick, MD, of Harvard Medical School), only skin types I, II and III can safely be treated with Plasma Pen. Anything higher and you are risking hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation. Some providers claim to be able to treat any skin type. This is generally untrue or at the very least misleading and is usually only because they are perhaps selling medical grade devices to cosmetic surgeons (who are then able to self-prescribe and fix any damage that they do) and/or because the treatments they are performing are merely “spray” rejuvenation only (i.e. they are not targeting the dermis and are only working on the epidermis.

Plasma Pen delivers exceptionally long-lasting results. From all observations, clinical trials and real-world experience, about three years is normal. Once the skin is tightened then it is actually permanent. However, your skin will still continue to age and this will happen at different rates based on genetics, lifestyle choices and free radicals so although we suggest treatment results will last for around 3 years, some clients will experience longer-lasting results than others. Remember too that in addition to rejuvenation, we are actually helping repair the scaffolding of the skin with our fibroblasting to mitigate the ageing process.

If, for example, we treat your smokers’ lines and you then continue to smoke then results may possibly not be as long lasting compared to if you had stopped. If we make your eyelid hoods or bags disappear then that is also a permanent effect although, of course, they could potentially grow back in years to come.

Using my Technique the results seen on my page are after only ONE treatment. I do NOT require my clients to do multiple sessions to achieve the results generally obtained through multiple sessions. This is important as I believe in doing a much longer treatment and booking only 1 client per day

Anticoagulants are medicines that help prevent blood clots. They’re usually given to people at a high risk of getting clots so as to reduce their chances of developing serious conditions such as strokes and heart attacks. Anticoagulant drugs (Warfarin for example but also Ivaroxaban/Xarelto, Dabigatran/Pradaxa, Apixaban/Eliquis, Edoxaban/Lixiana and others) are a major contraindication for us and your technicians insurer and people using them are NOT to be treated with Plasma Pen because they thin the blood (or rather they interrupt the process involved in the formation of blood clots so while they’re sometimes called “blood-thinning” medicines, they don’t actually make the blood thinner.

Anyway, the healing of surgical and traumatic wounds – like the micro-traumas we cause with Plasma Pen – specifically and intentionally involves the clotting process, inflammation, cell proliferation and tissue remodelling. Anticoagulants can slow and delay this healing process. Delayed healing of traumatic wounds can cause persistent bleeding, increased wound seepage and, in some cases, failed wound closure. Delayed wound healing can also lead to infection among other undesirable things.
