SKIN REJUVENATION
PLASMA PEN SKIN TIGHTENING IN GLENDALE, ARIZONA
Many people are concerned about lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin that gives away their age. These telltale signs of aging can give away your age and be difficult to hide with makeup. And since the skin loses collagen every year, lines and wrinkles start to become more prominent. The good news is many patients are candidates for non-invasive skin tightening and smoothing treatments.
The Plasma Pen Skin Tightening system lifts and tightens loose, creeping skin to improve fine lines, wrinkles, and more. By delivering micro-plasma sparks that enter the surface of the skin, where they sublimate epidermal skin cells. The cells are turned from solids to gases, leaving behind a tiny dot of carbon. The controlled heating from the nature of plasma minimizes skin damage and causes instant tightening and stimulating collagen production. The thermal plasma increases blood flow to the treatment areas, and in 8-12 weeks, the final tightening results are visible.
We are proud to announce a new noninvasive skin tightening treatment that delivers a brighter, more contoured youthful appearance with minimal downtime. The results of the treatment are virtually immediate and incredibly long-lasting without the need for fillers or surgical correction.
BENEFITS:
- Suitable for patients with Fitzpatrick skin types I, II and III

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Plasma pen treatment areas vary, and because the plasma pen can be used all over the body for different reasons, the treatment times will vary. On average, it takes 1-2 hours to complete treatment in a single area.
Most patients experience zero discomforts during treatment as a numbing cream will be applied to the entire treatment area beforehand. If a patient was uncomfortable during treatment for any reason, a second numbing cream could be applied. It is our goal to have clients feel as comfortable as possible.
For anyone who prefers to have downtime while a treatment heals and produces results, we typically recommend 7-10 days. However, this is entirely a personal preference as you will still manage as you usually would. For example, if you have the treatment performed on the face, you may be uncomfortable with the healing process being displayed in an office setting.
On average, it takes 7-10 days for the carbon crusts to disappear and leave a pink undertone on the skin. Some people find the majority of the carbon crusts have come off by day five, while others may have a slower healing rate.
It’s highly recommended to wear no makeup after the treatment until the carbon crusts have flaked off. This is for hygienic reasons in addition to avoiding premature removal of the carbon crusts, which can lead to infection and pigmentation issues. Once the carbon crusts are gone, we recommend a mineral-based makeup to avoid any unnecessary chemicals on the skin. Additionally, ensure you’re applying makeup with clean brushes to avoid the risk of any cross-infection.
Plasma pen treatments can be performed all over the body, and treatments are successful in many different areas, including the eyes, forehead, jowls, ears, hands, smokers lines, stomach, arms, and legs.
Once the desired results from Plasma pen treatments have been achieved, they will last between 3-5 years on average. Because everyone’s skin ages at different rates, some find that treatments last for several years, while others may need maintenance appointments to maintain their desired results.

AFTERCARE
Thank you for choosing your Plasma Pen Treatment. To achieve maximum results, it’s essential to follow this aftercare advice. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any concerns or questions.
• You are likely to experience some short-term side effects during the initial skin healing process, which is typically the first 7 days after treatment.
• It takes 8-12 weeks for the full effect of your treatment to be seen. Additional treatments in the same area, if required, may only be done after the 12-week period.
• You may continue with your normal daily activities as normal, but you may not look your absolute best during the initial healing process (usually 3 to 7 days, depending on the areas treated and your skin’s healing abilities).
• Swelling and inflammation for 1 – 5 days post-treatment is normal and to be expected. You may also experience a stinging sensation in the treated area. This is normal and fades within 24 hours.
• Skin may feel tight and dry with possible itching of the treated area.
• Crusts quickly form on the area and are visible for up to a week. When the crusts have fallen off, your skin may be a little pink as it is fresh, new baby skin.
• Weeping occurs occasionally and quickly settles.
• DO NOT pick the crusts off as it will delay the healing process or could scar
• Clean the area daily with lukewarm water and soft, lint-free cloth daily to remove excess oil. Pat dry only and avoid rubbing the treated area.
• Avoid a hot shower on your face, as well as shower gels or hair products, for the first 3-4 days.
• Keep the crusts moist by applying small amounts of the Silver Colloidal Gel with Aloe Vera up to 3 times a day, until the carbon crusts have fallen off. Apply very small amounts only. The gel dries on your face and acts to protect the skin and provide relief from possible itching, as well as helps to speed up healing.
• Keep the treated area oil-free.
• Only wear make-up on the area, once the crusts have fallen off. A small amount of the provided Tinted SPF 50 Healing Balm can be used as camouflage. The balm is not suitable for oily skin.
• Do not cover the area with a dressing or plaster
• Avoid creams other than those provided.
• Ice packs covered in a clean cloth may be applied to reduce swelling or use a Cold Eye Mask.
• For facial treatments, sleeping on your back with your head in an elevated position also reduces swelling
• Taking a high dose of Vitamin C supplements can boost your immune system over the course of the healing process.
• For the next 12 weeks and ideally longer, it’s crucial to apply SPF50 when you are outside to prevent the new skin from burning. Be particularly vigilant if you are in the midday sun.
Avoid the following in the treated area:
• Exfoliating products or products containing glycolic acid for 12 weeks
• Other skin-care treatments until the area is healed
• Shaving until the area is fully healed
• Contact lenses for 72 hours if the eyes were treated
• Smoking & alcohol
• No saunas or sunbeds during the 12-week healing process
• No strenuous exercise, sweating or extreme heat for 24 hours
