PlasmaPen™ MD is the newest cosmetic procedure to combat wrinkles, loss of collagen, and sagging skin. As we age, the dermal layer of our skin thins, we produce less collagen, and we lose elasticity. All of these factors produce sagging and wrinkling of the skin. The PlasmaPen™ MD is a soft-surgery procedure targeting a wide variety of skin conditions including loss of elasticity, sagging, and wrinkles that have been traditionally treated with fillers or plastic surgery.

PlasmaPen™ MD is the world’s most advanced, non-invasive, skin lifting, skin tightening, and rejuvenation device used to treat wrinkles, and sagging dull skin. The PlasmaPen™ MD is an FDA-approved, CE-approved device used to perform fibroblast therapy, a technique used to stimulate the production of collagen in the skin.

PlasmaPen™ MD converts electrical energy into gaseous diatomic molecular nitrogen and transmits that energized gas in a non-contact way to the skin’s surface from above. This causes a micro-trauma to the skin’s epidermal layer (top layers) whilst simultaneously heating and disrupting the deeper dermal structure via thermal conduction. This treatment is also known as “fibroblasting”. Fibroblasts are the most common cells of connective tissue in the body that produce collagen. At about 1mm from the skin, oxygen and nitrogen are mixed to produce an arc of plasma that discharges onto the epidermis. The PlasmaPen™ MD “fibroblastic” is highly versatile and is very effective in smoothing out wrinkles. tightening the eyelids, and can lift and rejuvenate any area of the skin.

PlasmaPen™ MD can: Improve and brighten skin tone, laxity, and texture.

Fibroblast produces excellent results for any area of the body, particularly the face and neck regions. It is important for anyone considering fibroblast treatment to carefully review the PlasmaPen™ MD contraindications, PlasmaPen™

Only surgery can achieve these kinds of results. You will typically see immediate tightening along with cumulative improvements over the next three months in the appearance of saggy skin. In some cases, it may require more than one session depending on the desired results.

PlasmaPen™ MD results can last up to three years. Using medical-grade skincare and sunblock can maintain results.

For the treatment, we use an application of topical numbing to minimize the discomfort.

The PlasmaPen™ MD is a relatively safe treatment, particularly when compared to more invasive cosmetic procedures. However, no procedure is without risks and it’s important to review and understand the contraindications and risks.
