Plasma Pen skin tightening treatment is a no contact procedure using an FDA-approved device that delivers results that many believe are commensurate with invasive cosmetic facelift, necklift, and bodylift surgeries.  While there are no incisions, stitches, or general anesthetics involved so the risks and downtime are minimal, but the results are comparable to much more expensive surgeries for facial and body rejuvenation.

If you’ve always wanted to tone and tighten loose skin on your face, neck, or body, but you don’t want the expense or to go through the pain of surgery, there’s a great option for you! Plasma Pen™ treatment is like getting a facelift without the surgery. Plasma Pen is the world’s most advanced FDA approved, non-invasive, nitrogen plasma device on the market. Manufactured in Germany, the Plasma Pen delivers next-generation soft surgery, making it the number one solution for beauty, aesthetics and medical professionals worldwide. The Plasma Pen is proven to deliver the most optimal, natural looking & long-lasting plasma fibroblast results with minimal downtimes and rapid recovery. It’s one of the signature medical spa services offered at Omni Centers.

Why we need skin tightening

As we age, our skin's natural production of collagen molecules slows down dramatically. This causes us to get fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin as we get older. As the scaffolding of our skin deteriorates, it loses it's natural laxity and texture leading to less elasticity or skin sagging/wrinkles. Plasma Pen fibroblasting treatments soft-surgical skin tightening treatment method stimulates the fibroblasts in the skin to significantly tighten, repair and eliminate wrinkles.

Outcome goals

Following Plasma Pen treatment, the treated area is visibly smoother, the skin is plump and rejuvenated. Any acne scarring is smoothed and more polished looking. Fine lines and deeper lines are ironed out.

How does it work?

First, the Plasma Pen, the precision plasma arc causes immediate superficial micro-trauma to the upper epidermal layer of the skin. Using a controlled electric charge to emit plasma gas energy which extracts oxygen from your skin, causing it to contract and tighten, leaving a tiny dot on the treatment area.

This micro-trauma stimulates the healing process for the creation of new, rejuvenated, tight and smooth tissue over the next 12 weeks. Your body perceives the thermal energy as an injury and rushes to produce new collagen and deploy healing growth factors. This also stimulates fibroblast cellular activity to regenerate cells and to increase elastin production. The skin will start to immediately tighten and noticeable rejuvenation will continue for the next twelve weeks.

Finally, during this phase collagen and elastin are produced, plumping the structure of the skin to soften and eliminate lines and wrinkles. 

What parts of your body benefit from the Plasma Pen?

The plasma pen treatment is used to improve the appearance of the following:

• Any area of the face, neck, and body with sagging skin
• Hooded eyes, loose skin above the eyes, and bags and puffiness below the eyes that would otherwise require blepharoplasty [eyelift] surgery
• Bags under the eyes that would otherwise require blepharoplasty surgery
• Areas with excess skin on the face, neck, and body that may be due to aging, environmental factors, and weight loss
• Nasolabial folds [smile lines that extend from the nose to the corner of the mouth]
• Marionette lines [vertical lines at the corners of the mouth]
• Furrows and crow’s feet
• Forehead lines that would otherwise require correction by browlift surgery
• Sagging jowls that become more prominent with aging
• Sagging neck and décolleté
• Lipstick/smoker’s lines that form around the mouth from repeated movement
• Stretchmarks as a result of pregnancy or weight gain
• Milia [white bumps with dead cells that are stuck beneath the epidermis]
• Spider veins
• Acne and other scarring

Is Plasma Pen treatment painful?

The pain associated with Omni Center’s Plasma Pen Skin Tightening treatment is minimal.  With the use of physician-grade topical anesthetics, you will feel little to no discomfort.  The eyelids are a more sensitive potential treatment area and our clients find they are able to relax and rest during the procedure.  During the recovery period following the treatment, there is no pain.  Immediately after the procedure, the treated skin will be pink, and some may notice slight swelling around the eyes if the upper and lower eyelids were treated.  Small dots, which are tiny scabs, will form.  These should remain intact and kept dry until they naturally fall off.  You will instantly see and feel tightening after the treatment that will continue to improve as the skin heals over the next twelve weeks.

What does the healing process look like?

The First 3-7 days

The innovative fibroblasting treatments with the Plasma Pen are known to deliver compressed downtimes, higher velocity recovery and superior results. Here is what to expect from each stage of the healing journey following a soft-surgery fibroblasting treatment by Plasma Pen. 

In the first 3 to 7 days, tiny carbon crusts appear on the skin as a sign of the new epithelial tissue. These carbon crusts serve as a natural and protective biological dressing, that will flake off naturally as the newly formed and rejuvenated skin appears underneath. The fibroblasting treatment with a Plasma Pen creates Type 1 collagen, that works to minimize the effect and appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and skin aging.

1-12 weeks post treatment

The comprehensive healing response is characterized by the strengthening, plumping, inflation and lifting of the skin. We start to see the reversal of premature degeneration and a stimulation of white blood cells, filling in any gaps created through micro-trauma.

12 weeks - 3 years

12 weeks post treatment, the skin starts to form new blood vessels and release growth factors. These growth factors include “cytokines” – small proteins that help modulate our immune response, our cell ageing and the repair and growth of new cells.

Is the fibroblast skin tightening treatment safe?

The Fibroblast Skin Tightening treatment is FDA-approved, noninvasive, and safe.  It stimulates the body’s natural regenerative processes to reveal youthful looking skin.  It is extremely effective without the risks associated with traditional facelift, necklift, and bodylift cosmetic and plastic surgery.  Our clients resume normal activities with marginal social downtime. This is the perfect time to have the Fibroblast Skin Tightening procedure while many people are still virtually working from home.

How many treatments are needed and how long will the results last?

The number of treatments needed to achieve your desired outcome depends on each individual.  For the most part, clients feel like their goals are achieved with a single treatment.  We recommend combining our Plasma Pen Skin Tightening procedure with other face, neck, and body rejuvenation such as Dysport® wrinkle relaxing injections, Restylane® lip and dermal filler, chemical peels, microcurrent facials, and the incredible Bio-Revitalizing PRX-T33 WiQo “no peel peel” series of treatments.  Given the Plasma Pen Skin Tightening procedure is safe and affordable with minimal social downtime, a second treatment may be performed twelve weeks after the initial treatment.  Plasma Pen Skin Tightening results are permanent however the face, neck, and body will continue to age.  Positive effects typically last anywhere from two to four years.

Who may not a good candidate for this treatment?

This treatment may not be appropriate for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have metal appliances in the treatment area, pacemakers, serious cardiovascular conditions, epilepsy, diabetes, cancer, or any autoimmune disorder or condition that prevents the individual to heal properly.  You will complete a comprehensive health questionnaire prior to determining if the treatment is right for you.

Do I need to do anything before the Skin Pen treatment?

Your aesthetic technician will review detailed pre-treatment instructions with you.  Generally, you should not undergo this treatment if you are not feeling well, you have a rash or your skin is inflamed, your skin is sunburned.

In addition, we may recommend Alastin Skincare protocol to enhance results and improve healing time.

Contact lenses, false eyelashes, and lash extensions must be removed.  Four weeks prior to the procedure, discontinue the use skin care products containing Retin-A, alpha hydroxy acids, and other acids such as lactic, glycolic, and salicylic.

What are the post-care instructions?

Your aesthetic technician will review detailed post-procedure instructions with you.  Generally, you should not allow the treated areas to become moist or wet until the scabs begin to heal.  Do not force the scabs to fall off – you should allow them to heal and naturally fall off.  Avoid wearing makeup until the scabs have healed.  As always, minimize exposure to UV rays and wear a broad-spectrum SPF every day.  Swelling, especially around the eye area, is expected.  This will subside starting after day 2 and will improve throughout the day as gravity has a positive effect.  You may start to reintroduce exfoliant skin care products, Retin-A, and those with the acids that were mentioned after eight roughly eight weeks.
