Every week, another new aesthetic treatment claims to be the answer to our skincare concerns. As it’s my mission, let’s try to cut through the noise and discuss Plasma Skin Tightening. What is it, does it work, and why is it sparking everyone’s curiosity?
Plasma skin tightening, also known as Plasma rejuvenation, is a non-surgical option for aesthetic concerns, such as lifting heavy or droopy eyelids, smoothing wrinkles, and tackling scars. If you spend time on social media, you might have seen and heard about it, but what does it do, and is it worth the hype?
What is Plasma Skin Tightening?
Plasma skin tightening is a versatile, non-surgical cosmetic dermatology treatment designed to smooth, tighten, lift, plump, repair, and rejuvenate the skin on both the face and body.
It’s become an increasingly popular choice for those of us seeking non-invasive anti-ageing and skin rejuvenation solutions. Plasma treatments can address a range of concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, loose skin, scars, and even benign skin lesions. With over 100,000 Plexr Plus Plasma treatments performed worldwide and multiple international industry awards, it’s no surprise that this technique is gaining momentum.
How It Works (Without Getting Too Technical)
Plasma technology works by creating a tiny electrical spark between the pen’s tip and your skin, without ever touching it. This spark from the plasma pen delivers targeted energy to superficial skin cells, causing controlled micro-injuries.
These micro-injuries stimulate your body’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of new collagen and elastin in the treated area. The result? Firmer, tighter skin over time—all without surgery or lengthy downtime.
What Can The Plasma Pen Be Used For?
Plasma skin tightening is surprisingly versatile. Some of its most common uses include:
- Non-surgical eyelid lifts: Let’s face it—nobody loves droopy lids. Plasma skin tightening is said to help lift and tighten the skin, giving your eyes a more refreshed and open look.
- Fine lines and wrinkles: A natural way to smooth and refresh your skin without needles or dermal fillers or the risk of looking unnatural.
- Scar revision: Whether it’s acne scars, stretch marks, or surgical scars, they can really impact confidence. Softening their visible appearance can make a big difference.
- Skin lesions: Moles, skin tags, and other benign skin lesions can be removed without surgery.
What to Expect from a Plasma Skin Tightening Treatment?
The treatment is quick—usually under an hour, depending on the area—and while you might feel a slight tingling, I have been told it’s not particularly painful.
Post-treatment, you’ll notice tiny scabs or “crusts” where the plasma was applied. These are normal and will fall off naturally after about a week. Swelling is also common, especially if you’ve treated an area like your eyelids, but it’s temporary.
The downtime is minimal, but it’s worth planning for a few quiet days, especially if treating a more noticeable area.
Is Plasma Skin Tightening for Everyone?
Not necessarily. Plasma skin tightening can work wonders, but it’s not suitable for all skin types. If you have a darker skin tone, there’s a higher risk of pigmentation changes. It’s also not recommended if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding.
This is a medical procedure, and there can be side effects, so like any clinical treatment, consult with a qualified skincare professional to determine whether it’s right for you.
Before & After Plexr Plus Plasma Pen Skin Tightening Treatments.
I’m usually reluctant to share before-and-after shots because it’s often hard to see the true results due to differences in lighting and angles between images. That said, these images do look genuinely impressive. While I haven’t experienced the treatment firsthand, they certainly highlight its potential as a less invasive alternative to cosmetic surgery.
Q&A: Plasma Skin Tightening – Your Questions Answered
If you’re still curious about plasma skin tightening treatments, here are the answers to your most burning questions.
Q: Does the plasma pen really work?
A: Yes, plasma skin tightening treatments are an effective solution for specific concerns such as loose eyelid skin, fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and skin lesions. These treatments create noticeable yet natural improvements over time by stimulating collagen production through targeted micro-injuries.
Q: What can plasma pens be used for?
A: Plasma Skin Tightening treatments have gained popularity for the upper and lower eyelids and crow’s feet; however, it’s a versatile treatment and commonly used for:
- Non-surgical eyelid lifts.
- Reducing fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck.
- Improving scars (e.g., acne, stretch marks, surgical scars).
- Treating benign skin lesions like moles or skin tags.
- Managing active acne and reducing the likelihood of future breakouts.
Q: What are the side effects of the plasma pen?
A: While generally safe when performed by a trained professional, there are a few side effects of the plasma pen that you should be aware of:
- Carbon crusts: Small scabs form where the plasma pen was applied, falling off naturally within a week.
- Swelling: This is particularly noticeable around sensitive areas, such as the eyes; however, it usually subsides within a few days.
- Pigmentation risks: Individuals with darker skin tones may be more susceptible to hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation.
- Temporary redness or sensitivity: This is a common side effect immediately after treatment.
Following the plasma pen skin tightening aftercare instructions provided by the clinician who performed your procedure can minimise risks and ensure the best results.
Q: Is plasma pen treatment painful?
A: Most people find it tolerable. You’ll typically feel a mild tingling or warming sensation during the procedure. Most clinics will use a numbing cream beforehand to enhance comfort. While pain tolerance varies, the treatment is not considered overly painful.
Q: Are there DIY plasma pens?
A: DIY plasma pens are available online, but are not a good idea. Using these devices without proper training can lead to serious complications, including burns, scarring, and infections.
Plasma treatments require precision and expertise to ensure safety and effectiveness. For the health and well-being of your skin, always consult a qualified skincare professional for treatment.
