How Does Plasma Pen Work?

While most skin tightening and rejuvenation devices use needling (microneedling), radiofrequency energy (Thermage), or lasers (Fraxel), the Plasma Pen utilizes electrostatic energy delivered through a small tipped applicator. These energy impulses discharge precise flashes of plasma in milisecond bursts, triggering the body’s natural healing and anti-aging processes in the epidermal and dermal layers. Yes, your own body does the rest, growing new collagen and elastin to improve skin tone and texture.

Your Plasma Pen Consultation

During your initial consultation, one of our providers will evaluate your skin and discuss your rejuvenation goals and expectations. We will take a full medical history to ensure you’re a good candidate for the Plasma Pen in Scottsdale. If we determine that Plasma Pen is a good solution for your needs, we will proceed with treatment; if not, we will discuss other options for facial rejuvenation and anti-aging available in our Phoenix-area medical spa.

Your Plasma Pen Procedure

Treatment begins with the application of a topical numbing cream. Your procedure time will vary depending on the size of your treatment area, with treatment times ranging from 30-120 minutes. Once we have finished the Plasma Pen procedure, we will apply a topical aftercare cream to the treatment area. This aids in post-treatment healing.

Plasma Pen Expected Results and Follow-up

Plasma Pen results are virtually immediate and last about three years. For a few days following your treatment, you will experience some skin flaking, as Plasma Pen triggers skin cell turnover. This peeling helps reveal fresh, youthful skin.

For the next several weeks and even months, collagen production gradually increases. This improves youthful plumpness, giving your skin the support structure it needs to lift and tighten.

Patients can expect to see full results after six months of natural collagen building following a single Plasma Pen treatment.
