Plasma Pen

A Plasma Pen treatment varies in cost from provider to provider, and those in large cities often charge more. The size of the treatment area and the number of sessions needed to obtain your desired results also influence the overall cost.

To determine the cost of your Plasma Pent treatment, call our office to schedule a consultation where we will put a custom program together to correct your current skin concerns.

The number of Plasma Pen treatments necessary depends on the area of treatment, the condition of the skin, and what you are trying to achieve. For example, those with more mature skin and more laxity typically require more sessions than younger skin. In addition, certain areas, like the eyes, only need one session, whereas more extensive areas, like the chest, may require two or more sessions.

Plasma Pen treatments are ideal for those who want tighter-looking skin without the recovery or downtime associated with more aggressive procedures. It’s also beneficial for those with mild to moderate skin texture issues and acne scarring, wrinkles, and fine lines.

The Plasma Pen is a relatively safe treatment. It works best for lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick skin types I, II, and III), so a consultation is best to determine if you are an ideal candidate for the treatment. Darker skin tones are often not compatible with the treatment because scarring is a risk.

After a Plasma Pen treatment, there is some downtime because the skin requires ample time to heal right. However, as the skin begins to heal, it also regenerates itself. Therefore, it's best to give yourself two full weeks to allow the skin to recover fully.

Right after treatment, there will be small, dark pinpoint spots on the skin that will scab and fall off in about one week. There will likely also be some redness and swelling for one to two weeks. After that, it can take upwards of one week for the skin to heal itself and return to normal.

Because the skin needs time to heal, Plasma Pen treatments are not recommended right before a big event or a vacation.

Proper skincare is essential. You'll want to stick to a simple, mild skincare routine while the skin is in recovery mode.

Sunscreen is essential to wear after the treatment so that there is ample protection. It's also crucial not to pick at or exfoliate off the pinpoint scabs–doing so can cause the skin to pigment in those areas.

You can see the initial results of the treatment in the first few weeks, and the full results are visible about three months afterward. The effects of a Plasma Pent treatment can last six months to up to two years, if not longer. The best way to maintain those results is with a good skincare routine and sun avoidance.
