Plasma Pen treatment is a non-surgical skin tightening and skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve the appearance of mild skin laxity, fine lines, uneven texture and selected skin concerns. It is commonly used on smaller, delicate areas where clients may notice loose skin, crepey texture or early signs of ageing.
At Dermé Aesthetic Clinic in Camberwell, Plasma Pen treatment is offered as part of a personalised skin rejuvenation plan. Your skin is assessed carefully before treatment to determine suitability, expected downtime and whether Plasma Pen or another treatment option may be more appropriate for your concern.
Pricing of Plasma Pen treatment depends to the size of area treated. Speak with us directly for specific pricing information.
Plasma Pen treatment uses controlled plasma energy to create tiny, targeted points on the skin surface. This creates a tightening effect and stimulates the skin’s natural healing response. Over time, this may support collagen remodelling and improvement in the appearance of skin firmness and texture.
The treatment is often used for clients who want a non-surgical option for mild skin tightening or textural improvement without surgery. It does not replace surgical procedures and is best suited to carefully selected clients with realistic expectations.
Plasma Pen treatment may be considered for selected concerns such as:
Plasma Pen treatment may be used on selected areas of the face and body, depending on suitability.
Common areas may include:
Your treatment journey begins with a consultation. During your appointment, your practitioner will assess your skin, discuss your concerns and determine whether Plasma Pen is suitable for you.
Your consultation may include:
Dermé is a doctor-led clinic. If a concern is not suitable for cosmetic treatment, or if further medical review is recommended, this will be discussed during your consultation.
Plasma Pen treatment creates controlled micro-points on the skin surface using plasma energy. These points cause a localised skin response that may contribute to a tightening effect and gradual improvement in skin texture as the area heals.
The treatment is carefully mapped and performed only on appropriate areas. The aim is to improve the appearance of mild laxity and texture while protecting the surrounding skin as much as possible.
Following treatment, small dots or crusts may appear on the treated area. These are part of the normal healing process and should not be picked or removed early.
Before treatment, the area is cleansed and prepared. A topical numbing cream or injection may be applied to improve comfort. The practitioner then uses the Plasma Pen device to treat the selected area with controlled, precise points.
The treatment time depends on the size and complexity of the area being treated. Smaller areas may be relatively quick, while larger or more delicate areas may take longer.
After treatment, the skin may feel warm, tight or sensitive. You will be given aftercare instructions to support healing and reduce the risk of complications.
Results vary depending on your skin quality, age, treatment area, healing response and degree of skin laxity. Some clients may notice a tightening effect as the area heals, with gradual improvement over the following weeks as the skin continues to remodel.
Plasma Pen is not a surgical facelift or eyelid surgery alternative for significant laxity. It is best suited to mild to moderate concerns and clients who understand that results are gradual and individual.
In general, two treatments 6-8 weeks apart is recommended with maintenance treatment every 12 months.
The number of treatments depends on the area treated, the severity of laxity, skin quality and the desired outcome.
Your practitioner will discuss a realistic treatment plan during your consultation.
Aftercare is very important following Plasma Pen treatment. Your practitioner will provide instructions based on your treatment area and skin type.
General aftercare may include:
Correct aftercare helps support healing and reduce the risk of pigmentation changes, irritation or scarring.
At Dermé, your practitioner may recommend selected skincare products before and after Plasma Pen treatment to help prepare the skin, support healing and maintain results. This may include gentle cleansers, barrier-support products, hydrating products and sun protection.
Clients prone to pigmentation may require specific preparation before treatment. Using unsuitable products or strong active ingredients too soon after treatment may irritate the skin and increase the risk of complications.
Your homecare plan will be tailored to your skin type, treatment area and healing stage.
Plasma Pen treatment may not be suitable for everyone. It may not be recommended for clients with certain skin types, active infection, poor wound healing, tendency to keloid or hypertrophic scarring, recent tanning, pregnancy or breastfeeding, certain medical conditions, or certain medications.
Clients with olive, Asian or darker skin types may have a higher risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation after heat-based treatments. A cautious assessment is required before treatment.
All cosmetic treatments carry risks. Possible side effects of Plasma Pen treatment may include redness, swelling, crusting, tenderness, itching, dryness, temporary darkening or lightening of the skin, prolonged redness, delayed healing, infection, pigmentation changes, hyperinflammatory pigmentation or scarring.
These risks are discussed during consultation. Following pre-treatment and aftercare instructions can help reduce risk, but complications can still occur.
In some cases, Plasma Pen may be part of a broader skin rejuvenation plan. Depending on your skin concern, your practitioner may recommend other treatments such as skin needling, chemical peels, laser rejuvenation, LED therapy or professional skincare instead of, before, or after Plasma Pen treatment.
Combination treatment plans are personalised and spaced appropriately to support safe healing.
Plasma Pen is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that uses controlled plasma energy to create tiny points on the skin surface. This may help improve the appearance of mild skin laxity, fine lines and texture over time.
Plasma Pen may be considered for selected clients around the eye area, but not everyone is suitable. The eyelid area is delicate and requires careful assessment before treatment.
No. Plasma Pen does not replace surgical procedures such as a facelift or eyelid surgery. It may be suitable for mild to moderate concerns, but significant skin laxity may require a different approach.
Downtime varies, but clients commonly experience redness, swelling, crusting and visible dots for several days. Some redness or sensitivity may last longer depending on the area and individual healing response.
Some tightening may be noticed as the skin heals, with gradual improvement over the following weeks. Results vary depending on skin quality, area treated and individual healing.
A topical numbing cream or injectable local may be used to improve comfort. Some clients may still feel heat, stinging or sensitivity during or after treatment.
Pigmentation changes can occur, particularly in skin types prone to post-inflammatory pigmentation or if aftercare is not followed. This is why consultation, skin preparation and sun protection are important.
Makeup should usually be avoided until the skin has healed and your practitioner advises it is safe. Applying makeup too early may irritate the skin or increase the risk of infection.
You should avoid picking the treated area, direct sun exposure, heat, saunas, strenuous exercise and active skincare until advised by your practitioner.
