Yes, the PlasmaPen can work wonders for your skin! As such, you will want to make sure you are receiving your PlasmaMD treatment from a seasoned specialist who knows what they are doing. Many patients experience improved skin texture, tightening of the skin and reduced wrinkles and fine lines for up to three years after their PlasmaMD treatment.

The PlasmaPen emits plasma energy to fibroblasts the dermis layers of your skin to smoothwrinkles and firm up loose or sagging skin. Fibroblasts are the most common type of cell in your connective tissues. Their primary purpose is to secrete collagen proteins, which provide structural integrity to your connective tissues and play an essential role in wound healing. In this way, sufficient collagen production is the basis for healthy skin.

However, our body naturally produces less collagen as we age, leading to skin issues such as wrinkles and skin laxity. In order to combat this loss of collagen, the PlasmaMD pen stimulates the fibroblast cells in the treatment area to increase collagen production.

At Cara Mia Medspa, our medical doctors, aesthetic nurses, and licensed aestheticians have plenty of skills and experience when it comes to PlasmaMD treatment.
