Why Not to Do Plasma-Pen and What You Can Do Instead.

The Plasma Pen, has been a treatment utilized worldwide for many years. Designed to address issues like loose, crepey skin and wrinkles, this procedure, unfortunately, comes with complications for numerous patients. Due to the severity of these complications, Luminate Clinic has made the decision not to offer Plasma Pen treatments from this particular device/brand and have waiting years before better technology came out, one that is fractionated and less aggressive on the skin but provides better results.

How Does Plasma Pen Work?

The Plasma Pen functions by administering electrostatic energy to the skin’s surface, essentially inducing a controlled burn to tighten and resurface the skin. The intended outcome is improved tone, texture, and elasticity through the natural healing process. However, this result is not consistently achieve because the energy is different depending on how to provider is holding the device. and that the energy is directed into one single area creating one hole in the skin, as opposed to several tiny holes that heal faster.

Challenges with Plasma Pen Results:

Results from the Plasma Pen often fall short of patients’ expectations, with lingering skin laxity and potential pigmentation issues, including light or dark spots. Furthermore, burns from the treatment can lead to scarring, leaving patients with more significant damage than they initially sought to address.

FDA Clearance Status:

It’s crucial to note that the Plasma Pen lacks FDA clearance. Its outdated technology has even led to bans in certain countries, including Canada. The absence of safety monitors further underscores its potential risks. In the U.S., the FDA has not yet evaluated the Plasma Pen for safety, and caution is advised against purchasing such devices for at-home use.

Physicians in the U.S. typically do not offer Plasma Pen treatments, as they are often provided by non-medical technicians with limited training. You will find them in beauty shops and salons and by estheticians that may not have a medical director.  Luminate Clinic ensures that our non-surgical procedures are conducted by knowledgeable medical and licensed providers committed to patient safety.
