The Plaxel plasma pen is a modern skincare device that utilizes plasma technology to tighten the skin. This unique treatment stimulates skin collagen with plasma energy and induces skin elasticity and regeneration.

Plaxel plasma pen treatments are non-surgical skin tightening treatments ideal for tightening skin above and below the eyes, on the face, the neck and other areas of the body.

Read on to see how we answer the ten most common questions we hear during plasma pen consultations and what questions to ask during your appointment.

The Plaxel plasma pen is a plasma pen system that lifts and tightens loose, crepey skin to improve fine lines, wrinkles, and more. Plaxel delivers 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 instantaneous tightening and collagen production stimulation. The thermal plasma increases blood flow to the treatment areas, and in 8-12 weeks, the final tightening results are visible.

Because the Plaxel plasma pen can be used all over the body for various reasons, all treatment times will vary based on the size of the area being treated. On average, it takes 1-2 hours to complete treatment in a single area.

Most patients experience little to no pain or discomfort during treatment as a numbing cream will be applied to the entire treatment area beforehand. If, at any point, a patient is uncomfortable during a treatment session, a second layer of numbing cream can be applied. It is our top priority to have clients feel as comfortable as possible during all treatments.

For anyone who prefers to take it easy while their skin heals from a treatment, we typically recommend 7-10 days. However, this is entirely a personal preference as you will still be able to manage daily routines and activities as you usually would. For example, if you have the treatment performed on your face, you may be uncomfortable with the healing process being displayed in an office setting. However, for anyone working remotely or from home, this is not a relevant issue.

Plaxel pen treatments can be performed all over the body. Treatments are successful in many different areas, including the eyes, forehead, jowls, ears, hands, smokers lines, stomach, arms, and legs.

A consultation appointment is necessary before having any treatments performed to ensure that patients can achieve their desired results. Almost anyone is a good candidate for Plaxel treatments, making it an excellent treatment option to address several areas of concern at many different ages.

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 and also to help avoid any premature removal of the carbon crusts. If the carbon crusts come off before they’re healed, this can lead to infection and pigmentation issues.

Once the carbon crusts are gone, we recommend wearing mineral-based makeup to avoid any unnecessary chemicals on the skin. Additionally, ensure you’re only applying makeup with clean brushes or sponges to avoid the risk of any cross-infection.

Once the desired results from Plaxel 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.
