Plasma Pen: Advanced Non-Surgical Skin Rejuvenation
The Revolutionary Alternative to Surgical Intervention
The Plasma Pen represents the pinnacle of non-invasive aesthetic technology, delivering remarkable results previously achievable only through surgical procedures, such as blepharoplasty. This groundbreaking treatment effectively addresses the inevitable consequences of ageing, where our skin’s dermal layer gradually thins and elastin fibres fatigue, leading to textural changes, wrinkles, and sagging.
Through precise application of plasma energy, this innovative treatment not only halts these ageing processes but actively reverses them, restoring firmness, smoothness, and a visibly more youthful appearance without the risks and recovery time associated with surgery.
How Plasma Pen Works: The Science of Skin Transformation
Plasma Pen harnesses the power of ionised gas to create controlled micro-trauma to the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response. During treatment:
- The precision device converts electrical energy into gaseous diatomic molecular nitrogen and transmits it to the skin’s surface as a tiny flash of plasma.
- This plasma flash creates a micro-trauma to the epidermis whilst simultaneously heating and disrupting the deeper dermal structure.
- The immediate effect is a controlled contraction of skin tissue, instantly tightening the treatment area.
- The thermal disruption to fibroblasts (the cells responsible for collagen production) stimulates extensive regeneration and restructuring of the skin tissue.
- This cascade of healing initiates neo-collagenisation—the formation of new collagen—which continues for weeks and months following treatment.
The controlled micro-injuries cause tiny scabs to form, which naturally flake away within 5-7 days, revealing fresher, firmer skin beneath.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
A typical Plasma Pen appointment lasts approximately one hour, including:
- Thorough consultation and skin assessment
- Application of topical anaesthetic cream (30 minutes for optimal comfort)
- The treatment itself, tailored to your specific concerns
- Comprehensive aftercare guidance
Most clients report minimal discomfort during the procedure thanks to effective numbing. You may experience a sensation of heat and tiny pin-prick feelings as the specialist works meticulously across the treatment area.
Impressive, Long-Lasting Results
One of the most remarkable aspects of Plasma Pen treatment is the immediacy and longevity of results:
- Immediate Effects: Visible skin tightening can be observed directly after treatment
- Progressive Improvement: Results continue to enhance over 2-3 months as collagen remodelling occurs
- Exceptional Longevity: Benefits typically last 3+ years, with many effects being permanent
- Natural-Looking Outcomes: Results appear natural rather than ‘overdone’ or artificial
Individual results vary based on age, skin condition, lifestyle factors, and adherence to aftercare protocols. Our specialist will provide realistic expectations based on your unique circumstances.
Pre-Treatment Guidelines
To ensure optimal results, please follow these important pre-treatment guidelines:
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning (including artificial tanning) for 4 weeks before treatment
- Refrain from consuming caffeine on the day of your appointment
- Discontinue use of retinol products 7 days before treatment
- Avoid anti-inflammatory medications (ibuprofen, aspirin) for 7 days prior to treatment
- Arrive with clean skin, free from makeup or skincare products
- Stay well-hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment
Essential Aftercare
Proper aftercare is crucial for optimal healing and results. Our specialists will provide comprehensive guidance, but key recommendations include:
- Do not pick or scratch any scabs that form—allow them to fall away naturally (typically 7-10 days)
- Sleep on your back to avoid pressure on treated areas
- Keep the area completely dry for at least 7 days
- Avoid all cosmetics, skincare products, and sunscreen on treated areas until fully healed
- Expect some swelling, particularly around the eyes (1-5 days duration)
- Apply only recommended aftercare products provided or suggested by your specialist
- Avoid sun exposure and use high SPF protection once healed
- Stay well-hydrated to support optimal healing
Treatment Pricing
- £350 per treatment area
Many clients find that a single treatment delivers remarkable results, though those with more advanced signs of ageing may benefit from a series of treatments spaced 8-12 weeks apart.
