For many individuals, the initial signs of skin aging start to appear in their mid-20s, often manifesting as fine lines around the eyes and a subtle dullness in the complexion. While these signs tend to become more noticeable over time, they can still be effectively addressed with appropriate skincare products and cosmetic treatments such as Botox and dermal fillers.
The Plasma Pen is a relatively new addition to the range of anti-aging treatments, offering results comparable to surgical facelifts.
This article will cover how the Plasma Pen works and what you can expect from the treatment.
What is Plasma Pen™?
The Plasma Pen is a non-invasive, skin rejuvenating device used to treat a variety of different skin disorders such as wrinkles and lines, stretch marks and acne scars, to name a few.
About Platinum Plasma Pen™ Fibroblast
The unique Platinum Plasma Pen is a revolutionary skin rejuvenation device that gives all the benefits of a facelift, wrinkle removal, and more in a single 1-3 hour session. With results that last up to 3 ½ years, the Plasma Pen is not a laser, needle, acid, or retinol. Instead, the pen creates an electrode made with the energy of oxygen and nitrogen that shrinks micro-areas evenly and without painful burn marks.
Why Plasma Pen?
As we age, the dermal layer of our skin becomes thinner, collagen production decreases, and the elastin fibers that provide skin elasticity start to break down. These changes lead to wrinkles and sagging. The Plasma Pen is specifically designed to counteract these effects, using advanced technology, proven scientific methods, and precise techniques, along with thorough training and aftercare, to significantly repair, reverse, and reduce the visible signs of aging.
How does Plasma Pen™ Work?
Plasma Pen devices discharge low-frequency plasma energy to small areas of the skin. The process breaks down proteins in the skin, encourages tissue regeneration by stimulating fibroblast activity in the dermis and collagen production resulting in tissue contraction (tightening).
The Plasma Pen uses a unique technology that converts electrical energy into gaseous diatomic nitrogen (N2). This energized gas is applied to the skin’s surface, acting as a micro-level abrasive on the epidermis (the outermost layer of skin) while also heating and stimulating the deeper layers.
The process, known as fibroblasting, may sound intense due to the term “blasting,” but it’s actually named after fibroblasts, a type of cell found in your body’s connective tissue. Fibroblasts play a crucial role in producing collagen, and by stimulating these cells, the Plasma Pen treatment helps fill wrinkles, tighten sagging skin, and achieve other rejuvenating effects.
How Long Does It Take to See Results from a Plasma Pen Treatment?
Mild skin-tightening effects are visible immediately after the treatment, but full results typically take 8 to 12 weeks to develop. Some patients achieve their desired results with a single session, while those with more pronounced signs of aging may need two or three treatments.
Are Plasma Pens™ Safe?
Plasma Pen treatments are non-invasive with minimal downtime in comparison to surgical, cosmetic procedures. However, not all devices on the market are safe to use as many are simply cheap copies of genuine plasma devices which were intended for spot/mole removal procedures. It’s important to review and understand the difference between genuine and fake devices as the outcome and risks can be catastrophic and lead to skin discoloration, and/or scarring. With Plasma Pen, you know you are getting a trusted, genuine Plasma device with proven results.
How Painful Is the Plasma Pen Treatment?
Most patients describe the pain during a Plasma Pen treatment as mild to moderate. The use of a topical numbing cream significantly reduces any discomfort.
Plasma Pen Results
Patients typically notice tighter and more rejuvenated skin once the carbon crusts have fallen off. These results continue to improve over the following weeks as collagen production increases.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Plasma Pen Treatment?
The Plasma Pen is generally safe for most healthy adults with fair to light skin tones that can tan. Individuals with darker skin tones may be at a higher risk for pigmentation issues and should consult with a specialist for further evaluation.
If you have a serious medical condition, you may not be eligible for this treatment. Your medical provider will review your medical history during the consultation to determine if you are a suitable candidate.
For your safety, please disclose any medications you are currently taking.
What to Expect During the Plasma Pen Procedure
The procedure begins with a Plasma Pen-trained medical provider thoroughly cleansing your skin and applying a topical numbing cream to reduce any pain or discomfort. Next, they use the Plasma Pen device to deliver a high-frequency electrical current to the targeted area. After the treatment, a cooling gel is applied to soothe any irritation.
The procedure typically takes about an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated.

The Elmira Studio Difference
Not all plasma pens in the market are the same.
Elmira Studio uses the Platinum Plasma Pen by the Louise Walsh International Academy.
What’s the difference? The Platinum Plasma Pen creates an equal size crust made with the energy of oxygen and nitrogen—other pens create a burn mark that is uneven and not equal. This particular device requires 650 hours of specialized training to master the correction of hills, valleys, and unevenness of wrinkles in the face.
In addition to Elmira Studio’s premier product and extensive specialized training, her expertise is on-hand to explain everything before and during your procedure, as well as after-treatment support to ensure you achieve the best results possible. Elmira Studio carries the Platinum Plasma Pen product line to help accelerate the healing time and get the best results.

Elmira was great! This was my first time having microneedling done as well as dermaplaning. My skin felt so clean after, tight and refreshed as well. I look forward to doing more work with her in the future to keep my skin on point.
