About Plasma Pen
Plasma pen works by tightening the skin and the results will last until the skin has lost more collagen and literally stretched. The results last as long as surgery to the area.
The Problem
As we age we lose the elasticity of the skin so we 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.

An assessment with Charlotte or Jade 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.
If you have 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.
There may be slight redness or dimpling at the treatment site and pigmentation if the skin is not protected from the sun.
The area will be slightly swollen for a few days and be dry and have a cracked appearance. At about day 5-7 the dry skin flakes off revealing very slightly pink skin but no scar.
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 LED light (£50) can be used to ‘super prepare’ the skin, reduce post-treatment swelling and hasten the recovery process. A course or 6 can be added for just £150.
