Plasma Pen Treatment

Plasma Pen Procedure

Plasma Pen treatment-an advanced skin rejuvenation and tightening method that has become increasingly popular in recent years-is based on plasma energy and its controlled cosmetic use. During the procedure, the plasma pen ionizes nitrogen and water vapor using high energy. This creates extremely small, superficial micro-injuries on the skin that resemble tiny burn points. These micro-points stimulate the skin's natural repair mechanisms and trigger a renewed collagen response.

The device is applied from a specific distance, meaning the energy does not penetrate deeply into the skin. Instead, it targets the surface area only, making it a minimally invasive approach for those looking for non-surgical aesthetic treatments.

In Plasma Pen treatment, water vapor and nitrogen suspended in the air react with the energy released from the tip of the pen-like device. This molecular reaction stimulates the desired skin tissue by creating microscopic plasma spots on the epidermis. In simple terms, the uppermost layer of skin is "vaporized" in tiny points. Shortly afterward, small crusts form in those areas, and the regeneration process begins-leading to a smoother, firmer, and more even-looking skin surface.

For patients searching online for skin tightening treatments in Turkey or non-surgical facial rejuvenation near Istanbul, Plasma Pen may offer an appealing option-especially for those who want visible improvement with minimal downtime. Tekirdağ is also conveniently located close to Istanbul, making consultation and treatment accessible for international visitors.

What Is Plasma Pen Used For?

Plasma Pen is often associated with goals such as tattoo removal or reducing skin discoloration, but it is also used for several other aesthetic indications with strong clinical satisfaction. Plasma Pen may be performed for:

• Non-surgical eyelid lifting (non-surgical blepharoplasty)
• Periorbital rejuvenation (around the eyes)
• Softening forehead wrinkles
• Skin resurfacing
• Skin tightening
• Improving double chin (submental tightening)
• Firming the décolletage area
• Spot reduction / pigmentation improvement
• Evening out skin tone
• Removal of warts and certain moles
• Hand rejuvenation
• Improvement of stretch marks on the abdomen and legs

It is particularly effective for fine lines around the eyes (often referred to as crow's feet). While the procedure is commonly preferred for the face and décolletage, it can also be used on other parts of the body for stretch mark management.

Who Should Not Have Plasma Pen Treatment?

Plasma Pen treatment can be performed for both women and men. However, it is not suitable for everyone. It is not recommended during:

• Pregnancy
• Breastfeeding (treatment may be considered after the breastfeeding period has fully ended)

It may also not be suitable for individuals with certain active skin conditions, such as:

• Psoriasis
• Rosacea
• Eczema or similar inflammatory skin disorders

If there is any uncertainty regarding skin sensitivity or a dermatological condition, a clinical evaluation should be performed before planning the procedure.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

In many cases, a single session can provide noticeable improvement. However, depending on the severity of the concern and the patient's skin structure, multiple sessions may be recommended. The exact number of sessions is determined during the consultation phase and personalized according to treatment goals.

Treatment Process

People who are new to this procedure often wonder what the treatment experience will be like. First of all, it is important to note that Plasma Pen treatment is generally comfortable, does not cause significant discomfort, and is typically completed quickly. Since it is a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure, most patients can undergo the treatment without anxiety.

Here is what you should know about the Plasma Pen procedure steps:

• To ensure comfort, an anesthetic numbing cream is applied to the treatment area first.
• After the skin becomes numb, the practitioner uses the Plasma Pen device to deliver controlled micro-pulses at millimetric intervals across the targeted area.
• Thanks to the numbing cream, the patient usually does not feel pain, and only mild sensations may be noticed.
• Immediately after the procedure, the treated skin may appear as tiny brown dots (small micro-crusts).
• These marks naturally fade over time, revealing renewed, healthier-looking skin underneath.
• The session duration depends on the treatment area and the goal, but in most cases it takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes.

This quick and practical procedure makes Plasma Pen an appealing option for those looking for skin tightening and rejuvenation in Turkey, especially for patients searching for non-surgical aesthetic treatments near Istanbul (Tekirdağ is conveniently located close to Istanbul for travel and follow-up visits).

Aftercare

Plasma Pen is considered a safe, non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment with no serious known side effects in most suitable candidates, and it usually does not require downtime. In general, patients do not need to rest after the session; however, proper aftercare is essential to support healing and achieve the best results.

Here are the key points to know about Plasma Pen aftercare:

• Due to the plasma energy delivered to the skin, a mild burning or stinging sensation may occur on the first day. This is normal and typically resolves by the next day.
• Along with this sensation, swelling (edema) may develop, especially on the face.
• Swelling may take a few days to subside, and then micro-crusting begins on the outermost layer of the skin.
• These small crusts fall off naturally within a short time, and the healing period is usually not long.
• During recovery, the skin must be protected from sunlight, so it is essential to use a high-SPF broad-spectrum sunscreen.
• Applying sunscreen only once in the morning is not enough-it should be reapplied several times during the day.
• The skin should also be protected from UV exposure from digital screens (phones and computers) during the healing period.
• In some cases, Plasma Pen is used for spot and pigmentation concerns, but improvement in dark spots may take time and results appear gradually.
• It is extremely important not to touch the crusts.
• Crusts must never be picked off, as this can affect healing and increase the risk of marks.
• Avoiding alcohol and smoking during recovery is strongly recommended, as these can slow down healing and negatively impact results.
