As we grow older, we start to notice more and more changes to our skin. Whether it’s fine lines, crow’s feet, deep wrinkles, dark spots or other blemishes, it’s impossible to avoid the ageing process. You may be a non-smoker, healthy eater and exercise most days of the week but your skin will still age.
Traditionally the only way to treat the signs of ageing was with an invasive surgical procedure, injections or lasers. However, with advancements in technology, there’s now the opportunity to treat these concerns without any surgery or fillers, whilst still achieving the same effective, long-lasting results. With Plasma Pen treatment, residents of Sydney and Miranda in the Sutherland Shire can visit our clinic for this innovative procedure.
What is the Plasma Pen?
The Plasma Pen is a handheld device that uses a high plasma energy current to create micro-traumas in the skin without even touching it. Instead, the device tip is held just above the skin’s surface and the current stimulates collagen production which is essential for rebuilding the elastin in your skin.
This specific type of treatment is known as fibroblasts. Fibroblasts are the most common cells of connective tissue in the body that produce collagen. It’s the effect of plasma energy that causes these micro-traumas that activate the skin’s natural repairing process.
The treatment results in the skin tissue growing back smoother and firmer, filling out any folds, wrinkles or excess skin, all of which is carried out without any surgery, stitches or general anaesthetics involved. Your skin will look rejuvenated and the results on the treated area will be immediately seen. Plasma Pen treatments are designed for use on small areas of the skin surface, typically the face or neck, but can also be used on other areas of the body.

Ideal candidates for Plasma Pen procedure
Plasma Pen treatments are suitable for most skin types and tones and for anyone looking to avoid surgical procedures. However, it is most effective on light to medium complexions and may not be appropriate for those who scar easily.
Also, those with darker skin tones may not be suitable candidates due to a higher risk of hyper or hypopigmentation. We highly recommend booking an initial consultation with one of our experts to determine whether you’re a suitable candidate for treatment.
NOTE: Plasma Pens are not recommended to be used in those suffering from an active skin disease including inflammation, rosacea, or any other skin condition that leads to a loss in the skin’s barrier. If you are on Roaccutane or any other high-risk medication and are preparing for a plasma lift, advise your doctor as soon as possible.
