Plasma

What is the Plasma Pen?

Plasma Pen is a relatively new cosmetic procedure to combat wrinkles, loss of collagen, and sagging skin. Plasma Pen is the world's most advanced, non-invasive, skin lifting, skin tightening and rejuvenation device used to treat wrinkles, sagging, dull skin. As we age, the dermal layer of our skin thins, we produce less collagen, and we lose elasticity. All of these factors produce sagging and wrinkling of the skin. It is considered as one of the best alternatives to lasers, injections, and invasive surgical therapies.

Another term used for this therapy is fibroblasting as the fibroblasts are targeted, to
stimulate the production of collagen in the skin. Fibroblasts are those all-important collagen and protein-producing cells found in the dermis, the layer of skin just below your outermost skin layer. They work as skin-healing, skin-tightening, and skin firming agents.

How does the Plasma Pen work?

Plasma is the fourth state of matter: Liquid, Solid, Gas and Plasma. The principle is to ionise gases in the air to create a small electrical arc, similar to a tiny lightning bolt, with
which the areas affected by aesthetic problems may be treated, without unwanted
damage to surrounding areas.

The plasma causes:

Instant contraction and tightening of skin fibres causing shortening and tightening of
skin fibres, thus resulting in the reduction of the skin surface.
The final result is an improvement of the firmness and tension of the skin (lifting
effect). Since Plasma energy affects the deeper dermal layers, the result is a lifted
contour, a decrease in deep wrinkles, thicker and firmer skin.

Plasma promotes new collagen protein which causes the original collagen protein to
strengthen the skin. The local fibroblasts stimulate the collagen formation by heating
the dermis and it then acts as a new deep foundation for the skin.  This produces further delayed tightening, which only becomes evident slowly over the
next few months.
