However, plasma is actually the fourth state of matter (crazy, right?) and is found in many common objects that we encounter on a daily basis (like cool neon signs). Stories of plasma pen treatments gone wrong underscore the importance of understanding and respect for this powerful technology.
Use in Aesthetics
Plasma in aesthetics is essentially a spark that’s created between the tip of a device and the surface of the skin – this spark vaporises the skin, causing “controlled damage” that results in regeneration and rejuvenation of the skin. It can be used to treat:
- Wrinkles
- Fine lines
- Laxity
- Scars
- Stretch marks
NOT ALL PLASMA DEVICES WERE CREATED EQUAL!
With the rise of the internet, people can literally buy anything online – one commonly bought device is the plasma pen. Online sellers claim that the device can be used to treat stretch marks, moles, and even help to lift the eyelids (yikes!). You need to know that these devices are not regulated and can be unbelievably dangerous if they end up in untrained hands. Also, how can something that claims to be so effective be sold for as low as $1.53 with free shipping?
IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT PROBABLY IS.
To make matters worse, social media has played an integral role in marketing the DIY plasma energy treatment as a simple beauty hack. Videos of people performing the treatment on themselves and sporting the classic markings of the treatment on their face can easily be searched up. A recent study showed that a whopping 36% of plasma pen treatment videos on TikTok were created by non-practitioners.
AN UNREGULATED PLASMA DEVICE IN THE WRONG HANDS CAN CAUSE:
- Scarring
- Pigmentation
- Burns
- Infections
- Damage to the eye
