What is Plasma?
Plasma is considered to be the 4th physical state of matter. Plasma is a combination of Oxygen
and Nitrogen that ignites the skin. It creates a controlled flash from a point. Plasma can be
made using a laser, microwave, or any strong electromagnetic field. Plasma is made by heating
a gas until its electrons have sufficient energy to escape the hold of the positively charged
nuclei.
What is The Plasma Pen Treatment and How Does it Work?
The Plasma Pen Treatment is a safe and effective way to reduce wrinkles and tighten loose,
saggy skin. It has been used in Europe for a number of years.
When at the correct distance to the skin, the plasma pen converts a direct current into an
electrostatic pulse, which is transmitted to the sterile disposable applicator, thereby creating an
oxygen-nitrogen mixture with the correct distance to the skin it discharges a plasma flash.
This spark creates a flash in the skin, leading to collagen production and the subsequent
rejuvenating effect. When we strategically place points on the skin, using different patterns it
results in instant contractions and tightening of skin fibers. You can see the effects immediately.
The skin tightens and leaves a soft crust of dead skin that flakes off due to the first rejuvenation
caused by oxygen and renewal of the fibroblast cells.
In order to get optimal results multiple sessions are required. You should achieve the desired
effect in 1-4 sessions. It is advisable for most clients to do at least two treatments in order to
correct any missed spots. You MUST allow at least 6-8 weeks between sessions and ONLY
perform another session once all redness and tenderness has subsided.
Its recommended if you want to treat multiple area with a certain amount of sessions to talk
with the specialist doing the procedure and work out a package that works best for you and
your desired result.

Downtime & Healing
Downtime is subjective and depends on the definition the individual assigns to the word.
The healing process regardless of what part of the body will be similar and will involve:
Burning Sensation
Swelling
Discomfort
Scabbing
Redness
Swelling -
A normal reaction and is to be expected. Levels of swelling varies from person to person. It can
be minimized by applying an ice pack covered in a paper towel to the area. However, it cannot
to completely avoided as it is a direct normal result of the treatment.
Swelling is normally at its peak the day of treatment and the next day. By the 3rd or 4th day,
the swelling usually subsides slightly and in most cases the swelling will be down on the 5th
day.
Fluid can travel to different areas and in some cases blistering can also develop. The fluid inside
the blister can be transferred to the bags under the eyes. It is vital to follow aftercare.
It's also completely normal to have lymphatic swelling. Swelling can occur in the lower eyelid
following an upper eyelid treatment as the upper and lower eyelids are interconnected.
Scabbing -
A normal reaction that flakes off on its own within 4-7 days. In some cases, it could take up to 2
weeks depending on individuals natural recovery speed. Do not apply any aftercare besides
whats given to you. You may begin your normal skin regimen and makeup application on
treated area once all scabbing has naturally fallen off.
Redness/Pink Skin -
The skin will be slightly pink once the scabs have fallen off. This is a normal reaction. At this
point, you can begin to put makeup on the skin to camouflage. This new skin is especially
sensitive to sunlight and it is crucial to use an SPF 50+ whenever going outside for the following
3-4 months or until the skin has enough melanin to match the rest of the skin.
Discomfort -
A normal reaction and depends on the particular individual sensitivity to pain. Generally the
more swelling the more discomfort. A burning sensation similar to that of a sunburn may also
be experienced and will subside anywhere from 2-48 hours. This area can continue to feel
slightly tender to touch over the weeks as the skin heals and regenerates. We do not work on
the same area until all tenderness has subsided.
