As we age our skin undergoes unwanted changes. We produce less collagen and elastin that make up the support structure or scaffold of our skin. This results in laxity, wrinkles, crepey, and sagging skin.
WHAT IS PLASMA ELITE PLASMA PEN?
Plasma Elite plasma pen is a non-surgical procedure for skin tightening and wrinkle reduction. The Plasma Elite plasma pen can also be used for non surgical eyelid lift, sun spots, stretch marks, and scarring. The plasma pen causes skin tightening and helps reduce wrinkles by delivering plasma energy to affected area.
HOW DOES THE PLASMA ELITE PLASMA PEN WORK?
The Plasma Elite plasma pen works by ionizing the air between the tip of the pen and your skin. This creates and electrical arc or mini flash of lightening. The electrical arc sublimates the underlying skin which causes a crust formation at the treatment site and results in the contraction of the surrounding skin.
Unlike laser, the electrical arc is not chromophore dependent. The electrical arc zaps the underlying skin uniformly and spares the surrounding tissue. There is little to no heat transfer to the untreated skin.
The results of the Plasma Elite plasma pen are instantaneous and the skin continues to contract over the next couple of weeks to years as collagen is produce by fibroblast cells.
The visible effects are:
During the treatment, the skin crust and eventually sloughs off. The skin undergoes the three stages of healing: inflammation, proliferation, and maturation. During inflammation, there is redness and swelling the treatment area. This can last 3-8 days. This is followed by the proliferation phase where the skin contracts and new collagen is laid down. The proliferation stage occurs between days 3-30. Finally, maturation occurs between 6 weeks and 2 years as the collagen fibers and extracellular matrix become more organized.
