How Does a Plasma Pen Work and Can They Leave Scars

by Liam CampbellJul 6,2022Plasma Pen™ Guide

skin treatment

Plasma pen treatments are becoming more popular, especially for eyelid lifts, neck lifts, and other facial and body rejuvenation procedures. There’s a lot of debate over whether or not plasma pens cause scars.

The easiest way to understand how the plasma pen works is to compare it to sunburn. When the plasma pen emits energy, it damages the internal tissues beneath the skin. Technicians use the plasma to heat collagen at the dermis level, which causes it to contract. This results in tightening and lifting effects on the skin.

Is the Plasma Pen Harmless or Not?

Plasma pen treatments are not entirely painless, especially in sensitive areas. The burning sensation comes from the free radicals formed when the plasma pen emits energy. These free radicals are erythema (skin redness) and sunburn.

When all the redness, swelling, and pain are felt in the treated area, the plasma pen treatment enables your skin to begin healing and regenerating itself. After the treatment, the body starts rebuilding and mending the skin.

So What Type of Skin is Best Suited for a Plasma Pen?

The perfect skin for a plasma pen treatment is healthy, with little to no scarring. The skin is not dry and has good elasticity. This is because dry, damaged skin heals differently than healthy skin and will result in scarring. There is a greater risk of scarring in those with darker skin tones than in those with lighter skin tones and that is why seeking a professional PlasmaPen technician is vital in your choice of choosing a treatment provider.

Scars tend to be darker in colour, depending on the depth of the scar. Scars on the face can be more noticeable and difficult to cover up, the PlasmaPen can correct accidental, surgical or acne scarring.

If you have fragile skin, the plasma pen may damage your skin beyond repair, resulting in a burn. For this reason, you have to make sure your skin is in great shape and you seek a professional PlasmaPen technician who understands how to address different skin conditions.

Furthermore, skin redness can last for about two weeks. And for individuals with darker skin tones, the redness can even last up to three weeks, however a professional PlasmaPen technician will explain your suitability for treatment at time of consultation.

Can You Still Get Treatment After A Plasma Pen Scarring Moment?

If you have a scar from your initial treatment, you need to wait until that scar has healed, which means waiting between six to eight weeks. Also, skin redness from a plasma pen treatment can last about two weeks, so you can’t get treatment until then.

While it can take some time to see results from the start of a plasma pen treatment, your skin will continue to improve for up to six to eight months. This is why you need to be patient and wait for the best results.

Conclusion

The plasma pen can cause redness, swelling, and mild discomfort, especially in sensitive areas, however topical numbing agents are used to reduce any sensitivity. Skin redness will go away in a couple of weeks, while the swelling and mild discomfort subside in a few days. This is why it’s best to have it done in a professional clinic by a qualified and experienced technician.

Because of its efficiency and excellent results, PlasmaPen may give you rapid and lucrative returns. Allow your clients to try the PlasmaPen treatment at your salon or clinic. If you want to be the leading name in acne mark treatment in the UK. order our PlasmaPen today!
