Plasma Pen Treatment Wollongong

The Plasma Pen is an advanced hand-held device that uses plasma fibroblast energy to treat various skin concerns. The plasma tip, a pen like device, generates a plasma arc using high frequency electric current and electrical energy to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin's layer of skin tissue. This causes thermal damage to the targeted area treated, triggering the skin's natural healing process as new cells regenerate from beneath the skin's surface.

During treatment, visible smoke may be produced as the plasma arc makes contact with the skin. This is completely normal. This fibroblast plasma stimulates collagen and elastin production, promoting skin tightening and rejuvenation, making it an innovative procedure for a wide range of skin concerns.

Non-ablative plasma pen fibroblast treatments can also stimulate fibroblast activity without damaging the skin's surface, making it a versatile option depending on the concern being treated.

Plasma Pen treatments can effectively address a range of skin concerns, including sagging skin, eyelid tightening, upper eyelid hooding, lower eyelids, eye bags, wrinkles, crow's feet, fine lines, acne scars, skin tags, light spots, dark spots, age spots, pigmentation irregularities, and stretch marks. It can also be used as a non-surgical neck lift alternative for those experiencing laxity in the neck area.

Plasma Pen is most effective for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity and lighter to medium skin tones (Fitzpatrick skin types I to IV). Those with darker skin tones carry a higher risk of hyper or hypopigmentation following treatment, and this will be thoroughly assessed during your consultation. It is essential to consult with a skincare professional to determine whether Plasma Pen is the right treatment for your specific skin condition and needs.

Fibroblast plasma pen treatment is not suitable for everyone. We advise against treatment if any of the following apply to you:

• You are pregnant or breastfeeding
• You have metal plates, pins, or other implants in the treatment area
• You have cardiovascular deficiencies, including severe uncontrolled blood pressure
• You have a pacemaker or any other medical device that uses an electrical current
• You have experienced a current or recent haemorrhage
• You have had cancer or undergone chemotherapy in the past three years
• You are susceptible to hypertrophic scarring or keloid formation
• You have an active infection in or near the treatment area
• You suffer from an autoimmune disease or any illness that affects the immune system
• You have a history of cold sores in or near the treatment area, as the procedure may trigger an outbreak

If you are unsure whether any of these apply to you, please discuss this with your therapist during your consultation before proceeding.

When performed by a qualified and experienced professional, fibroblast plasma treatment is a safe and well-tolerated cosmetic procedure. However, as with any skin treatment, risks exist and it is important to be informed. Potential risks include temporary skin discolouration, scarring, and infection, particularly when the treatment is carried out by untrained or unqualified practitioners. This is why choosing a skilled professional is essential. At Aesthetic Artistry, all treatments are performed with thorough pre-treatment assessment and strict aftercare protocols to minimise these risks.

You should expect some minor redness and swelling in the treated area in the first few days following treatment. It is also important to avoid direct sun exposure during the healing period, as the skin will be more sensitive and vulnerable to damage. Any crusting or scabbing that forms should be left to fall off naturally, usually within 7 to 10 days. Most clients return to their normal activities relatively quickly during this period, even with some visible healing underway. Over the following weeks, as your skin continues to heal, it should appear progressively tighter and firmer. Following post-treatment care instructions is essential for optimal healing, and you will receive detailed aftercare guidance from your therapist after every session.

The number of sessions required for your plasma pen procedure depends on individual skin concerns and treatment goals. You should see visible results immediately following treatment, with ongoing improvement continuing over the next 12 weeks as new collagen continues to form. Most patients achieve significant improvements from just one treatment, but a series of sessions may be recommended for optimal results.

While discomfort levels can vary from person to person, a topical numbing cream is typically applied to minimise mild discomfort during the procedure.

Plasma fibroblast therapy, also referred to as a plasma lift, can provide long-lasting results that last up to three years depending on the area treated, skin condition, and how well post-treatment care is maintained.

As a non-invasive alternative to surgical procedures, injections, and laser therapies for skin tightening, results are meaningful without the recovery time associated with more invasive options. It can also serve as an effective alternative to anti-wrinkle injections for addressing early to moderate signs of ageing. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain the effects as the natural ageing process continues.

A typical Plasma Pen session takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and complexity of the area being treated. Your therapist will give you a clearer time estimate during your consultation once your treatment plan has been confirmed.

Yes, Plasma Pen treatments can complement other skincare procedures, such as chemical peels, to enhance overall results. Your skincare professional can create a customised treatment plan based on your specific needs.

The Plasma Pen is a safe and FDA-cleared medical device for various skin treatments when used by qualified professionals. It has a proven track record of effectiveness and safety.

During your initial consultation, your skincare professional will assess your skin, discuss your concerns and goals, and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs. Plasma fibroblast therapy recommendations, including the number of sessions and areas to be treated, will all be discussed at this stage.
