Plasma pen therapy has become quite popular in the aesthetic world for plasma skin tightening. But what is it, how does it work, what are the pros and cons of this treatment, and is it a treatment modality that you should offer in your beauty location?
Plasma pens are handheld devices used to tighten mildly sagging skin, improve acne scars, and reduce the overall appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It is often referred to as “fibroblasting” since the treatment increases fibroblast cells, which are responsible for producing collagen.
Similar to laser skin resurfacing or microneedling, plasma pen treatments create microscopic wounds in the skin that trigger the body’s natural healing process resulting in the production of new collagen and elastin that improve the skin’s appearance from the inside out.
Plasma pen treatments utilizes a microneedle to burn tiny holes in the skin. The plasma pen causes the skin in the treatment area to shrink and regenerate by stimulating new collagen and elastin production. The result is plasma skin tightening.
Plasma pen therapy uses plasma, which is the fourth state of matter along with solid, liquid, and gas. Plasma is a hot, gas-like substance that stimulates fibroblast cells in the deeper layer of the skin to repair the outer skin layers. A fibroblast is a type of skin cell that secretes collagen proteins in the dermis, which is the layer of skin just below the outer layer of the skin, known as the epidermis. These cells play a vital role in wound healing in addition to maintaining the skin’s firmness and tightness.
The concept behind this non-invasive treatment modality is that the plasma pen device discharges an ionized gas in the air to create a small electrical arc that improves the appearance of the skin without heating the surrounding tissue. While plasma pen treatments can be used on many parts of the body, most technicians treat smaller areas as it requires a more precise dot-by-dot application suited to the fibroblast plasma pen.
Only you can determine if offering plasma pen therapy is right for your beauty location since you know your customer base and how you help them manage their recovery times from treatments, what aesthetic concerns they want to address, and how you manage risk factors with your business…But, if you are unfamiliar with this treatment modality, hopefully this post will give you a little more insight into this trendy non-invasive treatment.
