Plasma Pen Treatment
At Summerlin Dermatology, we offer Plasma Pen Treatment, also known as fibroblast therapy or plasma skin resurfacing, a cutting-edge non-invasive procedure designed to tighten, lift, and revitalize the skin. By creating tiny perforations on the surface, this treatment stimulates natural collagen and elastin production, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
How Does Plasma Pen Treatment Work?
Using a specialized handheld Plasma Pen device, this treatment delivers a controlled micro-current of plasma energy to the skin’s surface. The process:
Stimulates collagen and elastin production to tighten and firm the skin.
Encourages the body’s natural healing process, leading to improved texture and tone.
Targets fine lines, wrinkles, and loose skin, delivering long-lasting results.
This innovative approach offers a surgical-like skin tightening effect without incisions or significant downtime.
Benefits of Plasma Pen Treatment
Plasma Pen therapy provides numerous aesthetic benefits, including:
Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles – Smooths crow’s feet, smile lines, and forehead wrinkles.
Tightens & Lifts Skin – Especially effective for sagging areas like jowls and the neck.
Improves Skin Texture – Softens scars, blemishes, and uneven skin tone.
Non-Invasive with Minimal Downtime – A safe alternative to surgical procedures.
Target Areas for Plasma Pen Treatment
This versatile treatment can be used on multiple areas of the body, including:
Upper and lower eyelids (to reduce sagging skin)
Jowls & jawline (for a more contoured appearance)
Neck (turkey neck tightening)
Forehead & crow’s feet
Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
Décolletage & hands
Is Plasma Pen Treatment Right for You?
The Plasma Pen is most effective for individuals with light to medium skin tones looking for skin tightening and wrinkle reduction without surgery. You may be a good candidate if you:
Have mild to moderate skin laxity and wrinkles.
Desire a firmer, more youthful appearance without invasive procedures.
Are willing to follow post-treatment care instructions for optimal healing.
Precautions & Contraindications
While the Plasma Pen is highly effective, it is NOT recommended for:
Individuals with darker skin tones (due to the risk of hyperpigmentation).
Those prone to keloid scarring.
Patients sensitive to topical anesthetics.
A consultation at Summerlin Dermatology will help determine if this treatment is right for you.
What to Expect During & After Treatment
Preparation & Comfort Measures – A surgical-grade numbing cream is applied for comfort.
Plasma Pen Application – The device creates controlled micro-perforations in the skin.
Post-Treatment Care – Skin-calming products are applied to aid healing.
Healing Process & Aftercare Tips
Most patients experience healing within 2 weeks, but it can take up to 6 weeks for the skin to fully recover and for results to become evident. It is essential to wait at least 6 weeks before undergoing another Plasma Pen treatment if required.
Proper aftercare ensures optimal results and minimizes side effects. Follow these tips after your Plasma Pen treatment:
Manage Swelling – Apply a cold compress to the treatment area for 10–15 minutes at a time to reduce swelling and discomfort.
Keep Skin Clean – Avoid touching the treated area unnecessarily and gently cleanse as advised by your practitioner.
Avoid Sun Exposure – Use broad-spectrum SPF to protect the skin from UV damage, as treated areas may be sensitive to sunlight.
Do Not Pick or Scratch – Crusting or peeling is normal. Allow it to heal naturally without interference.
Side Effects to Expect
While side effects are generally mild, patients may experience:
Temporary discomfort, redness, or swelling
Skin peeling and crusting
Hyperpigmentation (dark spots)
Increased UV sensitivity
These side effects usually resolve as the skin heals, leaving you with revitalized results.
