Technology has progressed in leaps and bounds over the last decade or two.

Unfortunately, technology has not advanced to the point where we can travel back in time and give ourselves a good talking to about moisturiser, sunscreen, and hydration.

There are, however, treatments and procedures that can make you look and feel 10 years younger, including plasma pens, used for plasma pen rejuvenation.

In aesthetic medicine, plasma can successfully treat multiple skin concerns, such as scarring, stretch marks, acne, xanthelasma, warts, moles, fibromas, seborrheic keratosis, and a host of other skin lesions.

However, plasma pen treatments are best known for their ability to perform non-surgical blepharoplasty, also known as a non-surgical eyelid lift.

While in theory, it might seem to the novice that all plasma pens “do the same thing”, this is not the case. Extreme caution and care should be taken when going for a treatment, and you should always check which device is being used.

The effect of plasma devices is dependent on a number of factors, which can influence the clinical result:

• The energy output of the device
• The type of current applied (i.e. if the patient forms part of the circuit through the use of a grounding pad)
• The design and material of the pen’s tip
• The experience and training of the operator
• The patient’s skin preparation before treatment commences

When going for a treatment, you need to ensure that the pen used is medical-grade.

Cheaper and inferior devices use low frequencies and require a much shorter tip gap (the space between the skin and the pen’s tip when the energy is released), and this can lead to unpleasant shock-like sensations on the face or the eyelids.

Medical grade, registered plasma devices such as the Jett Plasma or Plexr should be the preferred devices for proper clinical treatment, and these devices should only be used by a qualified, trained medical doctor, such as those at Skin Renewal.

Set up an appointment and they’ll assess whether or not the procedure is the right one for you. If it is, you’re in good hands.

If not, they will recommend a treatment suited to your specific needs.

In other words, you’ll get the best results, and expert care, ensuring that you feel and look like the best version of yourself.
