PlasmaMD Pen

PlasmaMD is a handheld, pen-like device. It is used to to combat wrinkles and tighten sagging skin by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. The pen doesn't actually touch the skin but forms an arc in the air between it and the skin which creates a microinjury to the skin. There is some immediate tightening but the skin continues to improve over 3-6 months. Plasma energy can be used to treat acne scarring, skin tags, and seborrheic keratoses. It’s also used to improve skin laxity and skin texture and tone.

Enjoy dramatic age-defying results without surgery or extensive downtime. PlasmaMD offers a consistent solution for areas on the face, neck and body that have historically been difficult to target. The PlasmaMD is revolutionary technology that can unlock the skin's potential for youthfulness and targets the appearance of wrinkles and loose skin with long-lasting patient satisfaction.

Most Common Targeted Areas:

• Upper an Lower Eyelids
• Crow's Feet
• Top and Bottom Lip
• Forehead and Frown
• Nasolabial Folds
• Neck
• Full Face

Our highly trained and certified PlasmaMD technicians use the device to deliver plasma fibroblasting. The plasma significantly tightens, lifts, resurfaces and regenerates practically any area of the skin.

Your skin has a self-rejuvenating function that is capable of significantly reducing blemishes caused by acne, trauma, pigmentation and a range of other concerns. PlasmaMD activates this process by causing injury in the treated area.

PlasmaMD converts electrical energy into gaseous diatomic molecular nitrogen and transmits that energy in a non-contact way to the skin's surface from above. This causes micro-trauma to the skin's epidermal layer (top layers) while simultaneously heating and disrupting the deeper dermal structure via thermal conduction. This treatment is also know as fibroblasting.

As your skin heals, it produces collagen which forms a new layer of fresh tissue, creating a more youthful appearance on the surface and fighting antibodies beneath.  Some of the benefits you can see from PlasmaMD treatments are tighter less crepey skin, enhanced texture of skin, collagen production, reduction of scars, reduced hyperpigmentation and reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

What downtime Can I expect?

There IS downtime. "Downtime" is very subjective. What you think "looks bad" and/or is "uncomfortable" can be very different from someone else's perception. If you are comparing it to cosmetic surgery, then no, the downtime is minimal. If you are comparing it to a light chemical peel where no one can tell you did anything and you are just a little bit flaky everywhere, then no.

• Redness, swelling and scabbing in the treatment areas
• Average of 8 days downtime on the face and neck areas
• Average of 10 to 14 days on the body, depending on the area being treated and the intensity of the treatment
• Swelling usually begins the day following your treatment, and peaks around day 3
• After day 3, swelling subsides and scabs form
• Scabs normally begin to fall off around day 6 or 7 (for face and neck)

Please be aware that the days indicated are simply guidelines for average healing time. Healing time and results may be negatively compromised by not following the aftercare protocol: no drinking alcohol, no smoking and no picking/scrubbing.

If your health is compromised in anyway, this can be also extend your healing time and negatively affect your results.
