PLASMA PEN SKIN TIGHTENING TREATMENT

 

Subnovii is the first FDA-cleared handheld plasma device with LF+ technology. It uses exclusive low-frequency technology and energy to address the appearance of signs of aging. Subnovii Plasma Pen treatment targets specific areas of your skin and stimulates the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, effectively enhancing your skin quality and tightness. If you’re ready to reverse the effects of aging, we welcome you to schedule a consultation with our team.

​

HOW DOES SUBNOVII WORK?

Subnovii Plasma Pen technology targets deep-set creases, areas of loose skin, as well as scars and small lesions by heating the skin with a small electrical charge. The tip of the Subnovii device never actually touches the skin but it’s the power of molecular physics that gives this treatment its magic. It uses the voltage in the air between its tip and the natural gasses lying on the skin’s surface to form a plasma charge. 

The emitted energy instantly targets a precise spot and lightly ablates the surface of the skin. A sealed wound is created as a heat shock is delivered to the tissue below. This heat shock activates fibroblast activity within the dermis thereby stimulating collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid formation.

​

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY SUBNOVII PLASMA PEN TREATMENT?

We ask that you avoid sun exposure at least two weeks prior to treatment and discontinue products that may increase skin sensitivity such as retinols and acids one week prior.  

​

WHAT IS A SUBNOVII TREATMENT LIKE?

Roughly 45 minutes after a topical numbing cream is applied, the Subnovii handheld tool is slowly passed over the treatment area, hovering just above your skin. Small pulses of energy create tiny wounds in the skin, leaving behind small polka dot-like scabs (also known as “carbon crusts”) that fall off in roughly 5-10 days. You may feel some warmth in the area; however, the treatment is fairly comfortable and very tolerable. Some mild swelling can be expected in the area immediately after treatment and may last for a few days. 

​

WHAT WILL MY SKIN LOOK LIKE AFTER AFTER SUBNOVII PLASMA PEN TREATMENT?

Because the Subnovii Plasma Pen creates an instant wound on the skin, small scabs will form that can take 5-10 days to fall off. The scabs are a natural and protective barrier to the magic taking place below.

Because the treatment area is immediately sealed, there is a very low risk of side effects but the skin may feel tight and itchy as the area heals. Once the scabs fall off, the skin beneath may look pink. This is renewed skin and any redness should progressively fade. 

​

WHAT IS SUBNOVII RECOVERY LIKE?

There will be some scabbing that develops in the treatment and care must be taken to protect the healing skin. You can expect the scabs to heal and fall off within five to ten days. It is critical to not pick at the scabs while healing. By taking care not to pick, touch, or irritate the healing skin, you can ensure the best results possible and speed your healing time. As your skin heals it will begin to produce higher amounts of collagen and elastin, which will improve the firmness and texture of your skin, improving as the weeks pass following your treatment. 

​

IS THERE DOWNTIME WITH SUBNOVII PLASMA PEN TREATMENT?

While the skin heals, you may experience redness, swelling, flaking, and scabbing. Depending on the area treated, swelling may be more pronounced the day following Subnovii treatment. This is especially common around the eyes. Many people have reported that their swelling is worse in the mornings and tends to diminish throughout the day. The first morning after Plasma Pen treatment, swelling can be significant enough to keep you from opening your eyes fully. This is not a cause for alarm. The swelling may also spread to areas around that which has been treated. This side effect typically peaks within 48 hours and then subsides relatively quickly. In addition to the swelling, you may notice itching or a feeling of tightness in the treatment area. Over-the-counter medication may be used to decrease post-treatment discomfort.  We recommend no makeup to the area while scabs are present.  

​

HOW SOON WILL I SEE RESULTS OF SUBNOVII PLASMA PEN TREATMENT?

It is important to keep in mind the best results may take some time to see. While you may experience some initial results shortly after treatment, the best results will develop over time as your body responds to the stimulation for new collagen production and rejuvenated tissues. Results are typically seen within 3 months but will ultimately vary for each person and the concerns addressed. 

​

HOW LONG DO SUBNOVII RESULTS LAST?

Results last years in combination with consistent medical grade skin care and healthy lifestyle choices such as not smoking, minimal sun exposure and stable weight.
