Plasma Pen Treatments
Plasma Pen treatments use advanced plasma technology to tighten and lift the skin, stimulating natural collagen and elastin production. Ideal for reducing fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, and improving overall skin texture - without the need for surgery.
What is Plasma Pen?
The Plasma Pen is a cutting-edge, non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that delivers precise plasma energy to targeted areas of the skin. This innovative device works by converting electrical energy into a gas (plasma), which is then used to create tiny micro-traumas on the skin's surface. This stimulates the body's natural healing process, resulting in new collagen and elastin production.
What Does the Plasma Pen Do?
- Tightens and lifts sagging skin
- Smooths fine lines and wrinkles
- Increases collagen and elastin production
- Improves the skin texture
- Removes sunspots, age spots and hyperpigmentation
- Effectively treats skin tags and certain non-cancerous skin moles
- Reduces the appearance of acne scars, stretch marrks and minor trauma scars
How Does the Plasma Pen Work?
The Plasma Pen produces a controlled plasma arc, which creates superficial micro-injuries on the skin's surface. This triggers an instant contraction (tightening effect) of the skin tissue and kickstarts the body's wound-healing response. Collagen and elastin production is increased over the next several weeks, restoring firmness, elasticity, and skin integrity.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
- Upper and lower eyelids
- Crow's feet
- Nasolabial folds
- Forehead lines
- Neck and jawline
- Abdomen (for loose skin or stretch marks)
- Arms, knees, and other areas with mild laxity
- Skin tags and non-cancerous moles
- Stretch marks on the stomach, thighs, or hips

How Long Will It Take to See Results?
You’ll notice an immediate tightening effect after your treatment. However, the full, long-term results will become visible over a 12-week period as the deeper layers of your skin regenerate and collagen remodelling completes. Improvements continue to develop for several months, giving you a naturally lifted, youthful look without surgery.
Is the Procedure Painful?
A topical numbing cream is applied prior to the treatment, making the experience highly tolerable. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild tingling or heat. Discomfort is minimal, and any sensitivity typically fades shortly after the session.
What Are the Risks?
- Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation if aftercare advice isn't followed
- Prolonged erythema (redness). It is normal to have redness for 5 to 10 days after treatment
- Scarring is rare but possible
- Infection is very rare but can occur if aftercare advice is not followed.
What is the Downtime?
The formation of carbon crusts is a natural and expected part of the healing process. These tiny dots will:
- Fall off naturally within 3 to 7 days on the face
- Take slightly longer (7 to 10 days) on the body
Swelling and redness typically resolve within a few days. While the surface heals quickly, the full regenerative process continues beneath the skin for up to 12 weeks.
What Skin Types Are Suitable for Plasma Pen?
Plasma Pen is not suitable for all skin tones and must be assessed carefully using the Fitzpatrick Skin Type Scale:
- Fitzpatrick I, II, III: Safest and most effective candidates.
- Fitzpatrick IV: Can be treated with caution, but there is a higher risk of hyperpigmentation or healing irregularities. A patch test is strongly advised.
- Fitzpatrick V and VI: Not recommended for treatment due to significantly increased risk of pigmentation disorders.
Your skin type will be professionally assessed during your consultation to ensure safety and proper treatment planning.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients see excellent results after one session, but deeper lines or looser skin may benefit from follow-up treatments after 12 weeks.
Can I combine it with other treatments?
Yes! Plasma Pen works beautifully in combination with microneedling, PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma), skin boosters, and chemical peels.
When can I wear makeup again?
You should avoid makeup for at least 48 hours or until crusts naturally fall off. Use gentle, non-comedogenic products once healed.
Is there anything I need to avoid after the treatment?
Avoid direct sun exposure, swimming, sweating, and any exfoliants or actives like acids or retinoids until fully healed.
Will I look worse before I look better?
Yes - temporarily. After your Plasma Pen treatment, you’ll experience mild redness, swelling, and the formation of carbon crusts (tiny dots on the skin). This is completely normal and part of the healing process. Most clients say they feel fine but look like they've had “something done.” Within a few days, swelling settles, and crusts begin to fall off, revealing fresher, tighter skin underneath. Trust the process - your real results will shine through over the following weeks.
Is Plasma Pen safe around the eyes?
Yes - when performed by a trained and advanced practitioner. The eye area is one of the most requested zones for Plasma Pen because it's one of the only non-surgical options that effectively lifts droopy eyelids or smooths crow’s feet. At Crystal Skin Aesthetics, your treatment is carried out with precision, safety, and anatomical knowledge to protect this delicate area.
Will there be scarring or pigmentation?
When performed correctly and aftercare is followed, scarring is extremely rare. However, clients with Fitzpatrick skin types IV and above are more prone to hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation. This is why we conduct a full consultation and skin analysis before your treatment. A patch test may be advised in some cases. Sunscreen and healing balm are essential during recovery.
Can this replace a facelift or eyelid surgery?
Plasma Pen is a brilliant non-surgical alternative for those with mild to moderate skin laxity. While it won’t produce the exact results of surgery, it can significantly tighten and lift the skin, soften wrinkles, and restore firmness - all without going under the knife. It’s also ideal for preventative ageing and extending the results of previous surgical procedures.
Can I have Plasma Pen while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No - Plasma Pen is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Hormonal changes can affect skin sensitivity and healing response, so we advise waiting until your body has returned to balance before undergoing this treatment.
What if I’m prone to cold sores?
If you have a history of cold sores (herpes simplex), especially around the lips, we recommend taking an oral antiviral medication (such as acyclovir) for a few days before and after treatment. This precaution helps prevent an outbreak as the treatment can sometimes trigger flare-ups in dormant viral infections.
Will I need to take time off work?
This depends on your comfort level and the area treated. You may experience visible crusts and redness for 3–7 days, especially on the face. While there's no medical requirement to take time off, many clients choose to work from home or schedule the treatment before a weekend or quiet week. You'll feel fine - but expect downtime in terms of social visibility, not function.
Is this treatment suitable for acne scars or textured skin?
Yes - the Plasma Pen can dramatically improve acne scarring and uneven skin texture, particularly shallow, pitted scars. By stimulating collagen renewal, it resurfaces the skin gradually and softens irregularities. For deeper scarring, a combination approach with microneedling or PRP may be recommended.
