The latest in facelifting technology, The Plasma Pen Lift is now available at The Wicklow Street Clinic, Wicklow Street, Dublin 13.

For those looking for a treatment which won’t alter their facial expressions the Plasma Pen or Plasma Lift may be the alternative to Botox that’s not only safe but its effects can last up to three years.

The Plasma Lift can be used to: resolve ‘11’ lines between the eyes, lift the brow naturally, create a subtle lip lift for those who are too wary of lip fillers and want a natural alternative.

This new technology can take up to twenty years off individuals who have sagging eyelids. It works more favourably than any current treatment for lip lines from smoking.

It’s safe and it can last for up to three years!

 

What is Plasma Skin tightening?

It’s an FDA approved cosmetic treatment which uses plasma to eliminate excess skin and promote the production of collagen in the skin with results that are comparable to traditional surgery. Partial results can be seen immediately, for example sagging eyelids will immediately lift and look more while the full result can be seen in around 4 weeks.

The device uses the voltage in the air to create an electrical arch (plasma) between its tip and the skin. As this electrical arch touches the skin, it instantly contracts. Excess skin is reduced, resulting in tightened/lifted skin.

Tiny brown dots (carbondots) will appear immediately after treatment. These will fall off in about 7 days to reveal new skin underneath. Swelling may occur for a few days following the treatment. The best results will be seen in 4 – 6 weeks.

Allow 10-18 days of healing depending on your systemic healing pattern. Individual healing results may vary due to skin tone, type, or state of health. Swelling is normal and can limit you to social exposure of the treated area. Dryness and flaky skin are normal post healing.
