The A|C|C|O|R Plasma Pen treatment is a revolutionary method for a perfect face and body rejuvenation. The combination of plasma and LF+ technology currently makes the plasma pen unique across the world. It is important to stress that Plasma is a non-surgical technique where no scalpels or any other surgical instru­ments are used.

THE PROCESS

WHAT IS THE PLASMA PEN?

Without touching the skin, the pen creates an ionised plasma arc which projects onto the skin surface. The plasma arc instantly vaporises a point of skin at the required position, thereby tightening the immediate surrounding area. This is an especially gentle and low-pain procedure which achieves incredible, permanent results – immediately. Additionally, due to continued tightening after the treatment, we see further improvements. A major advantage is the rapid healing, made possible through the LF+ technology. ​Consequently, the excess skin is reduced, and the result tightens, tones and lifts the skin and wrinkle reduction. Most, if not all, methods of skin resurfacing are based on cre­ating a controlled skin damage, which activates its healing, and this leads to the skin remodelling and improving in various signs of aging.
  • Is it safe?

    Even though skin layers receive a controlled injury by plasma pen (by heating, fragmentation, vaporisation-sublimation and tightening), they do not burn off as they largely do under ablative laser and, importantly, there are no open wounds during the healing phase. This is extremely important as this approach reduces the risk of side effects such as scarring, infection, or loss of pigmentation etc.

  • Recovery

    After the treatment small dry spots, or scabs, form. They need 5-7 days to fall off. During this time, you should keep the skin surface clean (use Octenisept and lukewarm water) and keep it moist. Plasma pen works similarly to an ablative (fractional) laser. The plasma pen creates a perfect controlled injury to very specific skin cells to encourage skin tightening, cell division, cell proliferation and collagen production. This does not only improve the skin tightening, tone and texture, but it can also reduce scarring, improve a number of common skin problems and increase skin contour.

  • Fibroblasts

    Fibroblasts are active, spindle- or star-shaped cells in the dermis. Their function is to increase the production of collagen and glycosaminogly­cans. Fibroblasts are important for normal growth, healing, wound healing and every­day physiological activities in all tissues and organs in the body.

    The number and productivity of fi­broblasts decline with age. Their density gradually begins to de­crease and fibroblasts in connective tissue rarely undergo division. Cel­lular division and regeneration are stimulated only by a wound healing process or inflammatory response. Trauma from plasma stimulates fi­broblasts to produce new collagen and elevates elastin levels.


  • General Contraindications

    Plasma Pen skin resurfacing is generally suitable for most people, as it is particularly effective at treating notoriously difficult-to-treat areas, namely around the eyes (periorbital) and around the mouth (perioral). It is also suitable for most skin types and textures, although there are some contraindications, which are listed below:

    If you have darker skin (Fitzpat­rick scale skin type 6)

    If your skin is prone to scarring/keloid scarring

    If you have any of the follow­ing: severe skin conditions, open wounds, severe acne, lupus, psori­asis or vitiligo

    If you have allergies or sensitivities to any of the products used during the treatment

    If you have a history of being treated with blood-thinning medications or gold therapy or if you have been taking Accutane in the last year. If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, immune-deficient or have any other autoimmune disorder.
