Non-surgical fibroblast therapy
Plasma Pen uses a controlled electrical arc that does not directly touch the skin. Precise treatment points create controlled microtrauma at the surface while stimulating the deeper dermal structure.
This response supports fibroblast activity and the production of collagen and elastin. Tightening can appear early, while continued remodeling develops over the months that follow.

How it works
The handheld device delivers energy across a tiny gap without direct skin contact.
Precise surface points create a controlled healing response and visible carbon crusts.
Fibroblast activity supports new collagen and elastin as the area heals over time.
Common treatment areas
Your provider evaluates skin type, laxity, treatment area, and pigmentation risk before recommending treatment.
Results + recovery
Topical numbing is used, then the provider treats the planned points. Sessions generally take 30 to 90 minutes depending on area.
Small crusts form and naturally flake away. Do not pick them, and follow cleansing and sun-protection instructions.
Initial tightening may become noticeable as the area settles and healing progresses.
Full improvement develops gradually as collagen production continues. Individual response varies.
Candidacy is essential
Nuderma currently does not perform Plasma Pen on Fitzpatrick skin types IV–VI because of the increased risk of pigmentation changes. A provider must evaluate skin type, ethnic background, medical history, medications, healing response, and the treatment area before proceeding.
This limitation is specific to Plasma Pen and does not mean other skin-rejuvenation options are unsuitable. The consultation is used to compare safer alternatives when appropriate.
