Plasma Pen
There are many reasons why skin loses collagen and elastin. The main culprits are the aging process, sun damage, hormone imbalance, an unhealthy diet and smoking. At Invigorate Advanced Aesthetics Medical Spa in Centennial, Colorado we have many different solutions for combating aging skin and we would like to introduce you to one of our favorites.
Plasma Pen (also known as Fibroblast therapy) is an FDA approved skin-tightening and lifting device used to stimulate the production of collagen in the skin using plasma discharge. It uses an electrical tip to create controlled damage epidermal layer as well as heating the deeper dermal layer of the skin to regenerate, tighten and lift skin on the face and body.
Schedule a free consultation today and blast away old, tired skin.
The procedure usually takes between 60 and 90 minutes depending on the area being treated.
After the area is cleansed anesthetic cream is applied to numb the treatment area to minimize discomfort.
The first pass of the Plasma Pen occurs when skin is numb. After this, a second type of anesthetic cream is applied and when skin is numb a second pass is carried out.
For larger areas such as saddle bags of the thigh, stomach or buttocks, it may take longer to complete the treatment.
Your consultation will start with a skin health survey to classify not only your skin tone and texture, but classify your skin based on the Lancer ethnicity scale. It will help to identify tanning, scarring habits and overall skin type to create the best treatment plan.
The Plasma Pen converts electrical energy into gaseous diatomic molecular nitrogen and transmits that energy to the skin’s surface from the tip of the pen. This causes a micro-trauma to the skin’s epidermal layer, while heating the deeper dermal structure of the skin through thermal conduction.This process is also known as fibroblasting and significantly regenerates, tightens, resurfaces and lifts almost any area skin on the face, neck or body.
This treatment may be mildly to moderately painful for some patients. Additionally, different areas of the body, face and neck are typically more or less sensitive than others. The anesthetic numbing cream is helpful in reducing the discomfort during treatment. We may also discuss the use of self-administered Pronox analgesia (oxygen and nitrous oxide) during your consultation to help with anxiety and discomfort.
