Plaxel Plasma Pen

Are you suitable for Plaxel Plasma?

Plaxel plasma is suitable for nearly all skin types and skin tones. The results on the facial treatments around the neck, lips, eyelids, eyebags, cheeks, and all body skin lesions are exceptional for skin types 1 through light Fitzpatrick 5.

A patch test and full consultation are required prior to fibroblast Plaxel plasma treatments for skin tightening, but they are not necessary for skin lesion treatments. A consultation allows you a full understanding of the treatment length, any discomfort, downtime, price, and, of course, the results of the Plaxel plasma treatment.

What is plasma? Plasma is liquefied gas but does not exist naturally. It is created by ionizing with oxygen. This process happens when it leaves the Plaxel plasma device and points to any area of the skin to be treated. The Plaxel needle does not touch the skin, as the plasma gas jumps from the handpiece to the skin. In relation to skin tightening, the fibroblast cells are then stimulated deep into the dermis to produce fresh collagen and tighter skin. For skin lesions such as moles or keratosis, the plasma destroys the skin cells supporting the skin vessel of concern.

What Skin concerns can be resolved with Plasma Pen?

Areas that are successfully treated with the Fibroblast Plasma Pen using Plaxel are

Eyebags –

Loose skin, wrinkly skin under the eyes. Once treated, the plasma will tighten the skin from just one treatment and reduce the look of eyebags.

Eyelids –

The Plaxel Plasma Pen tightens and lifts the eyelid hoods. In doing so, the eyelids are lifted and the eyes become more open and visible

Loose, Crepey Skin on Neck

Crepey, loose skin on the neck gets significantly tightened with Plaxel Plasma. The tightening smooths the wrinkles and leaves the skin looking younger.

Plasma is comprised of ionized gases. The ionized gases are charged with negative and positive charged ions, as well as negative charged electrons – this process forms the “true” plasma when the ionizations hit the atmosphere. At the right distance from the skin, the energy ionizes the oxygen. This then combines with the nitrogen in the air, thus creating a small electrical plasma arc.

When the plasma arc hits the skin, it vaporises any liquid in the skin at the point of contact. The surrounding skin then contracts in at the area of contact, then tightens. This gives a shrinking and lifting effect, which is called sublimation. The layers of skin get vaporised by the “true” plasma but do not burn off. The skin flakes off later as part of the healing process.

It can vary from person to person, depending on their age, type of skin, and lifestyle choices. But in my experience, the effects are best from years 1 to 2, although for some people the effects can be very noticeable up to 5 years.

The Plaxel Plasma Pen treatment is a non-surgical treatment. Unlike most other plasma pen treatments, there is no electrical arc touching and burning the skin. The white dots that form are not red in colour, as there is no burning. The treatment is therefore a lot less painful than most other Plasma Pen treatments. Our technology has very minimal discomfort. If any patient would feel more comfortable with the addition of a local anaesthetic numbing cream, then it is available to them.

Depending on the areas to be treated, each treatment lasts between 45 and 70 minutes. The number of treatments needed varies from person to person, and I would discuss this with you during our initial consultation.

With “true” Plaxel plasma”, the downtime and aftereffects are minimal. The little white dots that appear during treatment turn slightly red after a day or so. There should not be too much swelling around the treated area. The red dots then form tiny, flat scabs. These marks disappear at around the 5th day. New, fresh, clear, glowing, tighter skin should then appear. The blemishes will have disappeared. As a non-surgical treatment with strict safety practices, Plasma Pen treatment for skin tightening eyebags, eyelids, and stretch marks has minimal downtime and side effects. Advice on how to lessen any downtime is given at your consultation.

During your initial consultation, you will be advised on the aftercare needed at home. It is very important to adhere to what you are told during the consultation and post-treatment. Your results will be significantly better and last longer if you are strict with your plaxel plasma pen aftercare.
a) Do not touch the treated area for 48 hours
b) Avoid washing the area until any scabs have fallen off
c) Do not wash with any abrasive material for at least 7 days
d) Avoid direct sunlight until scabs have fallen off
e) Wear a minimum SPF 30 when going outside after 5 days

I would suggest that you wash your face with mild, non-cosmetic soap. Arrive with no makeup or cosmetics. Let us know about any medical conditions or medications you are taking.

Plaxel plasma treatments are not permanent. However, the skin-tightening effects after treating the eyebags, lifting the eyelid hoods, or tightening the loose skin on your belly will last around 3-5 years. So although not permanent, it is a hugely viable alternative to plastic surgery or cosmetic surgery around the eyebags, eyelids, and belly.
Your age, skin type and severity of the condition will play a large part in how successful the treatment is, how many treatments of Plasma you may need, and the number of years that the wonderful effects of smooth, tight skin last.
What is generally found is that the results can be seen within the first month. The skin continues to tighten and lift as more and more collagen is produced and fibroblast cells are stimulated over the coming months and years.
