FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
HOW LONG DO PLASMA PEN RESULTS LAST?
The results of Plasma Pen virtually immediate, improve over the following 3 to 6 months, and are long lasting. Results vary among individuals and depend on the specific skin concern being treated. Maintenance treatments are sometimes recommended to prolong and enhance results.

Plasma Pen is generally well-tolerated and causes minimal discomfort. Two topical numbing against are utilized to ensure patient comfort. It is very rare for a patient to experience discomfort after the treatment is complete.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
The number of Plasma Pen treatments required depends on the individual and their specific skin concerns. Typically, a series of 1-3 treatments spaced 12 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results, but improvement is usually seen after only one treatment. Your treatment plan will be customized based on your needs and goals.
HOW MUCH DOES PLASMA PEN COST?
The cost of Plasma Pen treatment varies depending on the specific skin concerns being addressed and the number of sessions required. A personalized consultation is recommended to determine the most appropriate treatment plan and associated costs.
WHAT IS THE DOWNTIME ASSOCIATED WITH PLASMA PEN?
Following a Plasma Pen, patients can expect mild to moderate swelling on days 1-4; treatment crusts begin to fall off around day 5 and are generally gone by day 8. It is essential to follow post-care instructions including: avoid facial sweating for 5-7 days, avoid sun exposure, and use the provided serum and broad-spectrum sunscreen as instructed. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment, but must avoid driving if swelling impairs peripheral vision. Makeup may be applied after treatment crusts drop off (usually day 7).
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS OF PLASMA PEN?
Most patients experience redness and swelling as described above. It is important to follow pre- and post-treatment instructions to avoid any pigment changes or scarring. Avoid rubbing or picking the crusts to minimize the risk of complications.
IS PLASMA PEN SUITABLE FOR ALL SKIN TYPES?
The risk of adverse experiences affecting pigmentation with Plasma Pen is significant and for that reason we recommend other treatments for the darkest skin tones. For intermediate skin tones we may recommend a lightening treatment prior to Plasma Pen treatment. However, a thorough consultation is necessary to determine if Plasma Pen is the most appropriate treatment for your specific skin concerns.
CAN PLASMA PEN BE COMBINED WITH OTHER TREATMENTS?
Yes, Plasma Pen can be combined with other aesthetic treatments to further enhance results. Your skincare professional can recommend complementary procedures based on your specific concerns and goals.
