How to Use a Plasma Pen at Home
Prepare The Target Area
Before beginning treatment, remove any makeup or layered skincare products like moisturiser or sunscreen. Use a non-alcohol cleanser on the skin, then gently pat dry with a clean washcloth.
Outline The Treatment Zone
It can be easy to get carried away or miss an area, we recommend outlining the treatment zone. For best results and efficiency, remain within the outlined area and use it as a guideline during your treatment.
Begin With A Light Setting
Always start with a light setting if you are a beginner with plasma pen treatments. This way, you can assess associated discomfort, which can be anywhere from pain-free to mild or moderate depending on the area or your tolerance. It is also necessary to determine whether a light setting is appropriate for getting the job done.
Sometimes a higher setting is required. You can increase the setting if necessary after the initial assessment with the lighter setting.
Initiate Treatment
Perform treatment in a well-lit area for clear views of the outlined treatment area.
Ensure the pen does not touch the skin. Hold 1-2 mm away from the skin and with a steady hand, begin treatment.
Use vertical or horizontal lines to perform short continuous bursts to the skin. Begin from one point of the outlined area and work your way to the other as a helpful guideline. It can act as your starting and ending point with each new line. You will notice tiny dots start to appear in the treated area. When you have completed moving throughout the outlined area, you are done with treatment.
Ensure Quality Aftercare

Determine Whether Further Treatments Are Necessary
