Plasma Pen
Plasma pen treatment, also known as fibroblast therapy, utilises a specialised handheld device to deliver targeted plasma energy to the skin's surface. The controlled application of plasma energy creates micro-injuries, stimulating the skin's natural healing response and encouraging the production of new collagen and elastin. This process leads to significant improvements in skin tightness, texture, and overall firmness, addressing signs of aging and sun damage. Dr Mandi also utilises Plasma Pen treatments to remove skin tags, moles, milia and other unwanted lesions.
How Plasma Pen Treatment Works
Plasma pen treatment works by utilising a handheld device that generates a controlled and targeted plasma arc. This plasma arc creates micro-injuries on the skin's surface, triggering the body's natural healing response. The precise application of plasma energy stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin fibres, essential proteins that contribute to skin elasticity and firmness.
The process of collagen and elastin production following plasma pen treatment helps to regenerate and remodel the skin's structure from within. As the skin heals and undergoes tissue rejuvenation, visible improvements in texture, tone, and tightness become evident. Over time, the skin appears firmer, smoother, and more youthful, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging.
The controlled thermal energy delivered by the plasma pen also has a tightening effect on the skin, leading to immediate skin contraction and lifting. This instant tightening effect provides patients with visible results that continue to improve over the following weeks and months as collagen regeneration progresses.

-
While individual results may vary, many patients notice initial improvements in skin tightness and texture within the first few weeks following the procedure. Optimal results become increasingly visible as the skin's natural regenerative process unfolds over the following months.
-
Yes, plasma pen treatment is safe and suitable for most skin types. However, individuals with certain medical conditions or skin sensitivities should book a consult to determine their candidacy for this procedure.
-
While discomfort levels may vary depending on individual pain tolerance, most patients describe the sensation during plasma pen treatment as tolerable. Topical numbing cream is typically applied before the procedure to help minimise any potential discomfort. Patients may feel a mild stinging or heat sensation as the plasma energy is delivered to the skin, but any discomfort is usually temporary and well-tolerated.
