Eyelid laxity, smoker's lines, neck laxity, mild skin tightening, skin tags

What it is

Plasma pen uses a controlled electrical arc that vaporizes a tiny dot of skin at the surface and tightens deeper tissue underneath. Most popular as a non-surgical alternative to blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) and for tightening crow's feet, jowls, and lip lines.

What to expect

The treatment is performed under topical numbing. Patients describe brief warmth or stinging during the actual treatment. The session takes 30 to 90 minutes depending on area.

Significant swelling for 2 to 5 days, especially around the eyes if eyelids are treated. Carbon dot scabs are visible for 5 to 7 days. Plan social downtime accordingly.

Strict sun avoidance for 8 to 12 weeks (use SPF 30+ daily). Keep treated areas dry initially; don't pick at scabs. Mineral makeup can be applied after 24 hours. Final tightening visible at 8 to 12 weeks.

What we offer

Plasma Pen treatment is $800 per area. Treatments are recommended once per quarter for optimal results. Major eyelid laxity may need 2 to 3 sessions; smaller areas often respond after one. Membership pricing applies.

Benefits

EYELID LIFT

Non-surgical alternative to blepharoplasty for tightening upper and lower eyelid skin.

NO SCALPEL

Surgical-quality lifting without incisions, sutures, or general anesthesia.

LONG-LASTING

Results last 3+ years per treatment as collagen continues remodeling over time.

TARGETED TIGHTENING

Treats specific zones (eyelids, crow's feet, lip lines, jowls) without affecting surrounding skin.

SKIN TIGHTENING

Triggers controlled collagen response that tightens loose or crepey skin in treated areas.

Good to know

Recovery 10 days. Day 1-3: visible swelling and pinpoint scabs. Day 4-7: scabs darken and flake off (do not pick). Day 8-10: pink skin transitions to normal tone. Plan around social events. Best for mild-to-moderate laxity, lighter skin tones, and patients who can accommodate 10 days of visible recovery. Severe laxity better addressed surgically.

The treatment

30 to 90 minute appointment. Topical numbing applied for 45 minutes before treatment. The plasma pen creates tiny brown spots in a grid pattern across the treatment area. Sensation is brief warmth and tingling per spot. Treatment itself takes 15 to 45 minutes once numbed.

View Aftercare Guide

Plasma pen uses a small device to create a controlled electrical arc (plasma) that contacts the skin without touching it. The energy vaporizes a tiny dot of skin at the surface and tightens the deeper tissue underneath. Result: non-surgical lifting and resurfacing of eyelids, lip lines, neck, and small lesions.

What is plasma pen and what does it do?

Non-surgical eyelid lifts (upper and lower), crow's feet, forehead lines, lip lines, jowls, neck laxity, hooded eyelids, and small lesion removal (skin tags, sun damage spots). It's most popular as a non-surgical alternative to blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery).

What can plasma pen treat?

Plasma pen is non-surgical with no scalpel, no general anesthesia, and 10 days of visible recovery instead of weeks of surgical recovery. Results are excellent for mild-to-moderate laxity. Severe laxity (significant hooding, true excess skin) is better addressed surgically. For the right candidate, plasma offers significant improvement at a fraction of surgical cost.

How does plasma pen compare to surgery?

We apply strong topical numbing for 45 minutes before treatment. With numbing, most patients describe mild discomfort—warmth or tingling. The treatment is fast: 15–45 minutes depending on area. Without numbing, plasma pen would be significantly painful; with it, it's manageable.

Does plasma pen hurt?

Recovery is about 10 days. Day 1–3: visible swelling and pinpoint scabs across treated area. Day 4–7: scabs darken and flake off (do not pick). Day 8–10: pink skin underneath transitions to normal tone. Plan around social events—plasma pen creates visible downtime.

What's the recovery from plasma pen?

Plasma pen treatments are typically recommended once per quarter for optimal results. Major eyelid laxity may need additional sessions. We assess after each treatment and recommend follow-ups based on response.

How many plasma pen sessions will I need?

Results last 3+ years per treatment for most patients. The collagen tightening triggered by plasma is durable. Aging continues, so additional touch-up sessions every few years maintain results. Skincare and SPF use significantly impact longevity.

How long does plasma pen last?

Best candidates: mild-to-moderate laxity, lighter skin tones (Fitzpatrick I–III), good general health, and tolerance for visible downtime. Less ideal: darker skin tones (higher risk of hyperpigmentation), severe laxity (surgery better), keloid scarring history, or patients who can't accommodate 10 days of visible recovery.

Am I a candidate for plasma pen?

Plasma Pen treatment is $800. Membership pricing applies. Total investment significantly less than surgical equivalents for comparable results.
