Plasma Pen Treatments at Glow Lux Esthetics
What is Plasma Pen Treatment?
As we age, our skin naturally loses collagen and elasticity, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. Plasma Pen treatments work by stimulating fibroblast activity—the key to collagen and elastin production—helping to tighten, lift, and smooth the skin for a refreshed, youthful appearance.

How Does It Work?
The Plasma Pen is an advanced device designed to stimulate fibroblast activity, which plays a crucial role in skin rejuvenation. Fibroblasts are specialized cells responsible for producing collagen, particularly Type III collagen, which gradually transitions to the stronger Type I collagen over a period of about three months. These collagen types work together to strengthen the skin’s connective tissues, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and micro-furrows while enhancing elasticity, hydration, and overall suppleness.
Most fibroblasts remain dormant as fibrocytes and do not actively produce collagen unless triggered by the body’s natural healing process. This is what we call “controlled trauma.” The Plasma Pen precisely activates this response by creating controlled micro-injuries, encouraging the skin’s natural regeneration and delivering firmer, more youthful-looking results.
What to Expect After Treatment
“Neoepithelialization” (the formation of new epithelial tissue) becomes visible as tiny carbon crusts that desquamate (flake off) within the framework of aftercare. This occurs rapidly after a Plasma Pen treatment and is usually complete 3 to 7 days post-procedure.
These carbon crusts serve as a natural protective biological dressing and will flake off naturally as the newly formed and rejuvenated “neoepidermis” appears.
Plasma Pen is the gift that keeps giving because, parallel to the rapid formation of new epithelial tissue (which constitutes the superficial healing process), our nitrogen plasma treatment initiates a comprehensive healing response over the coming 12 weeks.
This healing process is best characterised by extensive dermal remodelling that includes neocollagenesis (new collagen synthesis), neoelastogenesis (the production of elastin), cross-Linking between the collagen and elastin fibrils (the alignment and cross linking of collagen and elastin strengthens, plumps, inflates and lifts the structure of the skin above over a sustained period of time) and the reversal of elastotic change (the premature degeneration of dermal elastic tissue).
The inflammatory response that occurs during the healing process we stimulate also activates “M2 Macrophages”. These are white blood cells that engulf and digest cellular debris and decrease the inflammation we cause. We also stimulate the migration of “basal keratinocytes” from the basal layer of the skin to the surface, and they help fill in the gaps created by the micro-trauma we create
Many other exciting things happen, including “neovascularisation,” which is the formation of new blood vessels and the release of growth factors. These growth factors include “cytokines,” which are small proteins important in cell signalling that help modulate our immune response, our cell ageing, and the repair and growth of new cells.
All the positive changes we make with our device underpin future tissue stability (homeostasis) and help prevent/mitigate/slow down many of the future negative effects caused by the aging process.
Results: The treated area is visibly smoother, and the skin is plump and rejuvenated. Any acne scarring is smoothed and more polished looking. Fine lines and deeper lines are ironed out.
