How Does a Plasma Pen Work?
Plasma pen therapy uses a pen-like device to administer high-frequency electric currents into the skin. The pen doesn’t directly touch the skin—instead, it releases microcurrents just above the skin that cause micro-injuries through its layers.
These tiny wounds activate the skin’s fibroblast cells, which produce the collagen and protein essential to healing wounds and retaining firm, smooth skin. This process stimulates higher collagen and protein production, resulting in increased tissue regeneration that causes the skin to contract and appear smoother and firmer.
What Does a Plasma Pen Treat?
The plasma pen is a non-surgical, minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that provides mild to moderate skin-tightening, improves skin texture, and slightly changes facial contours. You can receive this cosmetic treatment all over the face and neck, and other areas of the body.
Specifically, it’s effective for treating the following conditions:
- Mild to moderate loose skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Age spots
Plasma Pen Treatment Before and Afters
Plasma Pen Treatment Cost Cherry Hill
A single session of plasma pen treatment in Cherry Hill costs approximately $500, depending on the size of the treatment area. This rate is cheaper than many other non-surgical skin-tightening treatments, which often cost $700 or more.
Plasma Pen Procedure
At the beginning of your appointment, one of our certified technicians will cleanse your skin and apply a topical anesthetic to the treatment area. It will take up to 30 minutes for the anesthetic to take effect.
During the cosmetic procedure itself, the technician will discharge the plasma pen above your skin in a symmetrical grid pattern. Each discharge causes arcs of microcurrents to enter the skin, creating a pattern of scab-like dots. These tiny wounds stimulate fibroblast production.
As the technician works, they’ll periodically wipe away the topical anesthetic and apply a cooling gel to the treated area, ensuring you remain comfortable. The process takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the size and sensitivity of the treated area.

Recovery
The small dots on your skin should heal and fall off about a week after the cosmetic procedure. You may experience redness, swelling, and itching in the treated area. Try not to scratch or pick your skin, as it could cause scarring.
While your skin heals, it’s best to avoid makeup and cleanse the area with unscented skin products. We’ll also provide you with a comprehensive aftercare plan to help diminish side effects and speed up the healing process.
Results
Results should be noticeable several weeks after the initial healing period. You’ll notice your skin looks tighter and firmer with fewer fine lines and wrinkles.
Depending on your skin type and individual needs, you may see significant improvement with just one cosmetic treatment or after up to three treatments. If your plan includes multiple treatments, we’ll schedule them several weeks apart.
Alternative Treatments
Plasma Pen vs. Microneedling
Microneedling uses a pen or stamp covered in tiny pinpricks to create micro-wounds on the skin’s surface. As the skin heals, it produces new collagen-rich tissue with a more even tone and texture. It’s recommended to improve fine lines and wrinkles, scarring, large pores, loose skin, and uneven skin tone.
During the microneedling procedure, a doctor will numb the area with a topical agent and move the pen in even strokes over your face. The pinpricks are so small that most people don’t notice them, though you may experience side effects like bruising and bleeding, which is typically minimal.
Microneedling is similar to plasma pen therapy in that both cosmetic procedures stimulate the skin to produce more collagen and proteins. Both cosmetic procedures are nonsurgical, minimally invasive, and can treat most areas of the body and face.
Conversely, the after effects of microneedling usually aren’t visible, while plasma pen therapy leaves visible dots on the treated area. Additionally, there is no recovery time for microneedling, while recovery from plasma pen therapy takes about a week.
Microneedling may not last as long as plasma pen therapy, requiring regular sessions and complementary treatments to achieve lasting results. With plasma pen therapy, most people achieve lasting results within one to three sessions.
Plasma Pen vs. Botox
Plasma pen therapy and Botox are very different cosmetic procedures. The plasma pen is applied to the outer layers of the skin to encourage the skin’s natural collagen and protein production. Conversely, Botox involves injecting a small amount of refined botulinum toxin A into the muscles of the face to block the contractions and movements that cause grooves and lines to form in the skin.
Though Botox may cause some swelling and bruising in the treated area, there is no set recovery time, and you can resume normal activities after treatment. Plasma pen therapy requires a week of recovery time, during which the scab-like dots from the treatment will heal and fall away.
Both cosmetic treatments improve fine lines and wrinkles, but Botox doesn’t treat scarring or age spots. Botox treatments also last up to four months, while plasma pen therapy results last up to one year.

Plasma Pen FAQ
Is a plasma pen treatment safe?
Plasma pen treatments are safest when performed by a certified medical professional trained in using plasma pens. We don’t recommend using plasma pens sold for home use—the treatment should always be administered in a sterile medical environment.
Before deciding whether this treatment is right for you, we’ll discuss your medical history to make sure there are no contraindications. For instance, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have autoimmune disorders, or are taking certain medications should avoid plasma pen treatments.
Once we’ve determined you’re a good candidate, our certified doctors will skillfully administer your treatment.
Does plasma pen treatment hurt?
Numbing and cooling creams applied before and during the treatment prevent most pain. You may experience mild discomfort during the cosmetic procedure and some minor pain and swelling afterward. However, we take steps to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the treatment.
How long does it take to heal from a plasma pen treatment?
Healing from plasma pen treatment takes about one week for most individuals, though some may take a bit longer to recover. For the best results, we recommend you carefully follow the aftercare plan provided to you by our medical team.
Is a plasma pen treatment permanent?
Plasma pen treatments are long-lasting but not permanent. The electric currents in the pen stimulate fibroblast production for up to one year.
