Plasma Pen
As collagen and elastin production naturally decline with age, fine lines may become visible—especially around the delicate eye area, which is often one of the first to show changes in firmness.
Plasma Pen is a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure that uses controlled plasma energy to target specific points on the skin’s surface. This process may help support skin firmness and maintain a smoother appearance over time.
All Plasma Pen procedures at The London Skin Clinic are performed by trained practitioners following consultation to determine individual suitability and expected outcomes.
As the collagen and elastin production in our body starts to slow down, fine lines and wrinkles will start to gradually appear on the surface of the skin. The skin around the eyes is very delicate and is often the first area to show signs of ageing with lines. An alternative to eyelid surgery, Plasma Pen is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment that can enhance the appearance of your skin.
The plasma gas produced by the pen encourages the production of new cells and collagen to create rejuvenation, plump skin. Superficial wounds will be apparent on the skin, but will flake off in the days following the treatment to reveal gorgeous results.

The machine conductor tip creates a tiny plasma flash from the tip (similar to a tiny lightening bolt). The tip does not touch the skin. The plasma lightning jumps from the tip to the skin and evaporates, leaving very small superficial brown carbon spots that look like freckles. There is no heat to the surrounding skin. These small spots draw the skin together in their direct environment and shrink the excess skin. We follow a specific pattern to set the points to look like a grid (a reduction grid). This is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment that shrinks excess skin, bags and wrinkles!
Do you need a consultation?
Yes. Absolutely, anyone interested in a having this treatment is required to have a consultation. We cannot go forward with the treatment until you have all the information required as the client and we will assess and suggest a treatment plan for you. Every client is different and the way the skin ages varies for each individual. Some clients may need more than one treatment to achieve the desired result. We like our clients to be fully informed to meet their expectations.
The consultation cost is $50, this is a 30 minute appointment where we take photos, explain the procedure and discuss what your desired outcome is to make a plan. The consultation cost is redeemable on your Fibroblast treatment.
How long does the treatment take?
We allow 90 minutes including time for the anaesthetic to work for smaller areas such as eyelids , crows feet etc but for larger areas like the neck area or baby belly please allow up to 2.5 hours. Including before photos to be taken and consent forms to be completed.
When will I see results?
Results can usually be seen immediately, full results should be visible after 2-4 weeks however the treated area will continue to improve for 2-3 months. Results are expected to last 2-3 years, then the treatment can be repeated as we naturally age.
How many treatments will I need?
One treatment is often enough depending on skin type, severity of wrinkles and client’s expectation. For some a 2nd or even 3rd treatment may be required to achieve the desired outcome, follow up treatments can be carried after 12 weeks.
What after effects can be expected?
These cosmetic treatments are very safe, on rare occasions, there have been reports of hypersensitivity or allergic reactions to the local anaesthetic, wound healing problems, skin infections, scarring, slight swelling, redness, tingling, the occurrence of herpes simplex (cold sore) and skin depigmentation (whitening). Immediately after the procedure, the treated area will be quite red and mildly swollen. This can last from 1-3 days. The small carbon dots will dry to become small crusts. These crusts must not under any circumstances be picked or scratched off, they must be left to fall off on their own which can take anything from 5-14 days. These dots can be covered with a mineral foundation or mineral concealer. For 2 weeks you will be healing so if you have any special occasions it is best to wait until after or do the treatment 1-2 months before.
Once the crusts have fallen off it is imperative that you use a Serum suggested by London Skin and use an SPF 50 sunscreen. Absolutely no sun on the area without protection for 3 months.

However the treatment can simply be repeated again when needed.

As the skin naturally changes over time, fine lines may become more visible — particularly around delicate areas such as the eyes.
Plasma Pen is a non-surgical, non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a controlled plasma energy device to gently target the skin’s surface.
The process is designed to support a smoother, firmer-looking appearance by promoting the skin’s natural renewal response.
Mild surface effects such as temporary redness or tiny crusting points may occur and generally resolve in the days following treatment as the skin renews.
Commonly requested treatment areas include:
• Eyelids
• Crow’s feet
• Frown lines
• Marionette lines
• Neck and under chin
• Top lip and other localised areas
How Does the Plasma Pen Work?
During a Plasma Pen procedure, a small device generates a focused plasma arc between the tip and the skin’s surface. The tip does not touch the skin.
This creates tiny, controlled points on the skin’s surface that appear as small brown dots. These superficial marks form a grid-like pattern in the treated area and are part of the skin’s normal healing process.
The treatment is non-surgical and non-invasive, and aims to support the skin’s natural tightening and renewal response.
Do You Need a Consultation?
Yes. A consultation is required before booking this procedure.
During this appointment, your practitioner will review your medical history, discuss your goals, and assess whether this treatment is suitable for your skin type.
Consultations are 30 minutes and include photography, a discussion of your desired outcomes, and a treatment plan if appropriate. The $50 consultation fee is redeemable toward your Plasma Pen procedure.
How Long Does the Treatment Take?
Treatment time varies depending on the area treated.
For smaller areas such as the eyelids or crow’s feet, approximately 90 minutes is recommended (including time for topical anaesthetic).
For larger areas such as the neck or abdomen, please allow up to 2.5 hours, including preparation, photos, and consent forms.
When Will I Notice Changes?
Some clients may notice visible effects shortly after treatment; however, skin responses vary.
The area continues to settle over several weeks, and gradual improvement may be observed as the skin undergoes its natural renewal process.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number of sessions required depends on skin type, degree of laxity, and desired results.
Your practitioner will recommend a personalised plan, which may include follow-up treatments spaced at least 12 weeks apart.
What After-Effects Can Be Expected?
Mild redness, swelling, or small brown crusts at the treatment sites are common and part of the normal healing process.
The crusts will flake away naturally within 5–14 days. It is important not to pick or scratch them.
Your practitioner will provide after-care instructions and recommend appropriate post-treatment products, including daily sun protection.
For best healing, avoid unprotected sun exposure for at least 3 months after treatment.
Are Plasma Pen Treatments Safe?
When performed by trained practitioners using TGA-listed devices, Plasma Pen treatments are considered a non-surgical cosmetic procedure.
Your practitioner will review any contraindications and discuss safety considerations prior to treatment.
How Long Will the Effects Last?
Responses to treatment vary between individuals.
While some clients choose to repeat the procedure after a few years, outcomes depend on factors such as lifestyle, skin type, and the natural ageing process.
Your practitioner can provide guidance on maintenance and future treatment options.
Aftercare Following Plasma Pen Treatment
You can usually resume normal daily activities after your treatment; however, the area may appear red or form small brown crusts for several days as part of the natural healing process. These typically fall away within 3 – 7 days. Avoid touching, picking, or scratching the crusts so the skin can heal properly.
If you have had a facial procedure, you may prefer to sleep on your back for the first few nights to reduce friction on the treated area.
Keep the area clean by gently cleansing with lukewarm boiled water or a mild, non-alcohol-based product as directed by your practitioner. Occasional weeping or mild swelling—particularly around the eyes—is common and usually settles within several days.
Do not apply make-up, mascara, creams, or occlusive dressings to the treated area until it has fully healed, except for any specific aftercare products provided or recommended by your practitioner.
Once initial healing is complete, apply a broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen when outdoors and avoid sunbeds or direct sun exposure for at least 12 weeks.
Avoid smoking and strenuous exercise immediately after treatment, as heat and perspiration may contribute to irritation.
Men should avoid shaving over treated areas until the skin has completely healed.
Your practitioner may suggest using gentle soothing products, such as an aloe-based gel, and can provide individual aftercare recommendations suitable for your skin type.
If you notice persistent redness, swelling, or discomfort, or have any concerns during recovery, please contact your practitioner for advice.
