About Plasma Pen
Plasma pen works by tightening the skin and has long lasting results. The results last as long as if there had been surgery conducted in the area.
The Problem
As we age, we lose the elasticity of the skin and develop wrinkles and excess skin in various areas on the body and face. Areas that particularly show this are the eyelids, under eyes and upper lip ‘smoker’s lines’. Skin tags and moles can also be of concern to your appearance.
How It Works
Plasma pen uses plasma energy to shrink the skin to produce tightening. Traditionally the treatment of choice for the eyelids was a blepharoplasty operation under local or general anaesthetic with the ensuing bruising, scars and stigma attached. Smoker’s lines used to be treated with dermal fillers with less longevity of results than the Plasma Pen. Get surgical-like results with a quick and easy non-surgical Plasma Pen treatment!

Preparing for your Treatment
Post Treatment Care
- Upper and/or lower eyelids, non-surgical blepharoplasty
- Smokers lines around the mouth
- Wrinkles on the cheeks
- Brow lift
- Stretch marks
- Xanthelasmata
- Skin tags
- Warts
- Moles that have been checked by your GP
An assessment is required for anyone considering Plasma pen. You will be required to fill out a medical form to rule out any conditions that might contraindicate a treatment. You will need to have your skin prepped with our ZO skin care products before treatment to ensure rapid healing and LED light therapy will be discussed as this also accelerates healing.
If you have a pigmented lesion such as a mole it should be checked by your GP prior to treatment. Skin tags and Seborrhoeic warts can be effectively removed.
There is very little that contraindicates a Plasma pen treatment and it can even be carried out on people who are immunosuppressed.
Redness or pitting at the treatment site and pigmentation may occur if the skin is not protected from the sun. Prepping the skin with ZO skin care products helps further prevent this and promote healing. Micro-needling is a great after treatment that gets even more results and can help if pitting occurs.
The area will be slightly swollen for a few days and be dry and have a cracked appearance. At about day 7-10 the dry skin flakes off revealing pink skin.
Depending on the area treated, the treatment is more obvious. Treatment to the upper lid is surprisingly un-obvious due to the crease of the lid.
Dermalux or Celluma LED light (£50) can be used to ‘super prepare’ the skin, reduce post-treatment swelling and hasten the recovery process. A course of 6 can be added for just £150.
For skin tightening, Phase 2 ZO skin care products must be used for at least 6 weeks prior to the treatment and a patch test on a small area must be done beforehand. Two sessions of LED light therapy should be done a few days before a plasma treatment to help prepare the skin and four sessions afterwards to help heal the skin and reduce downtime. A course of 6 LED treatments is £150.
The scabs are visible immediately and swelling usually occurs around 36hrs The area must be kept clean & dry until the scabs fall off naturally. Picking will cause scarring and pigmentation. There may be some small pit marks in thinner skin which can be addressed by micro needling that would further improve the results. SPF must be used all year round and the skin can be pink for several months. Make -up can be applied once any scabs have fallen off. The skin will continue to tighten for 3 months following the procedure.
