How does the Plasma Pen work?
At Infinity Medspa & Wellness in Charlotte, NC our highly trained and certified Plasma Pen technicians use the device to deliver soft-surgery plasma fibroblasting. The plasma significantly tightens, lifts, resurfaces, and regenerates practically any area of the skin.
Plasma Pen converts electrical energy into gaseous diatomic molecular nitrogen and transmits that energized gas in a non-contact way to the skin’s surface from above. This causes a microtrauma to the skin’s epidermal layer (top layers) while simultaneously heating and disrupting the deeper dermal structure via thermal conduction. This treatment is also known as fibroblasting. Fibroblasts are the most common cells of connective tissue in the body that produce collagen.

Treatment Process
Treatment Time
Some treatments are as little as 30 minutes and some can be up to 3 hours depending on the area being treated.
Cost
Treatment costs vary depending on the size of the area and condition being treated. During your complimentary consultation, our licensed service providers will give specific treatment recommendations and come up with a treatment plan based on your wants, needs & budget. You will be provided with an accurate price estimate for your customized treatment plan prior to any treatment.
Pain
Plasma Pen is mildly to moderately uncomfortable. Everyone’s pain level is different and some areas of the body are more sensitive than others. Numbing cream is helpful in reducing the discomfort during treatment. Your Infinity Service Provider will work with you to make sure you feel as comfortable as possible throughout the entire treatment.
When can I expect to see results?
You will typically see immediate tightening along with cumulative improvements over the next three months in the appearance of saggy skin. In some cases it may require more than one session depending on the desired results.
Is there downtime after my Plasma Pen treatment?
There IS downtime. “Downtime” is very subjective. What you think “looks bad” and/or is “uncomfortable” can be very different from someone else’s perception. If you are comparing it to cosmetic surgery, then the downtime is minimal. If you are comparing it to a light chemical peel where you are just a bit flaky everywhere, then downtime is a bit more significant.
What to expect
• Redness, swelling, and scabbing in the treatment area
• Average of 5-8 days downtime on the face and neck areas
• Average of 10-14 days on the body, depending on the area being treated and the intensity of the treatment
• Swelling usually begins the day following your treatment, and peaks around day 3
• After day 3, swelling subsides and scabs form
• Scabs normally begin to fall off around day 6 and 7 (for face and neck)
*Please be aware that the days indicated are simply guidelines for average healing time. Healing time and results may be negatively compromised by not following the after care protocol.
After care protocol
No drinking alcohol, no smoking, and no picking or scrubbing. If your health is compromised in any way, this can also extend your healing time and negatively affect your results. You will be given detailed after care instructions by your Infinity Medspa+Wellness licensed service provider prior to treatment. Some cases may require more than one session depending on the desired results.
