At The Laser Club, we offer a range of skin saviours. One of our most common questions is, what will work best for me? Among the plethora of options available, we have two treatments that we often get queries about, Plasma Pen and Microneedling. These treatments have garnered widespread attention for their ability to address various skin concerns and promote youthful, radiant skin. But what sets them apart, and which one is better suited for which specific skin issues?
Let’s delve into the Plasma Pen first. A cutting-edge non-invasive cosmetic procedure harnesses the power of plasma technology to rejuvenate the skin. The procedure involves the use of a specialized device that emits a controlled, high-frequency electrical current to create targeted micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin—the building blocks of youthful skin.
During your Plasma Pen treatment at The Laser Club, our skin specialists will use a pen-like device to deliver precise bursts of plasma energy to the skin. This energy creates tiny thermal injuries, which tighten and lift the skin, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall texture and tone.
Benefits:
Skin Tightening: Plasma Pen treatment effectively tightens loose or sagging skin, particularly in areas such as the eyelids, neck, and jawline.
Wrinkle Reduction: By stimulating collagen production, Plasma Pen therapy reduces the appearance of wrinkles, crow’s feet, and expression lines.
Scar Revision: The procedure can also improve the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks.
Minimal Downtime: While mild swelling and redness may occur immediately after the treatment, downtime is minimal compared to more invasive procedures.
Plasma Pen treatment is ideal for individuals seeking non-surgical skin tightening and rejuvenation, especially those with mild to moderate signs of aging, sagging skin, and superficial skin imperfections.
Microneedling, on the other hand, is also known as collagen induction therapy. Micro needling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating collagen production. The procedure involves the use of a device equipped with fine needles that create micro-channels in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, leading to the formation of new collagen and elastin fibres, thereby improving skin texture, tone, and elasticity.
During your Micro needling treatment at The Laser Club. Our skin specialists will glide the micro needling device across the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries. Depending on the depth of penetration and the specific concerns being addressed, the practitioner may adjust the needle length accordingly.
Benefits:
Collagen Production: Micro needling stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
Improved Texture: The procedure helps minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, acne scars, and uneven skin texture.
Enhanced Absorption: The micro-channels created during Micro needling facilitate better absorption of topical skincare products, enhancing their efficacy.
Versatility: Micro needling can be performed on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, décolletage, and hands.
Micro needling is suitable for anyone looking to address a wide range of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture. It is suitable for all skin types and tones.
While both Plasma Pen treatment and Micro needling offer remarkable benefits for skin rejuvenation, choosing the right option depends on individual skin concerns and treatment goals.
Plasma Pen is best suited for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity, fine lines, and wrinkles, particularly in areas such as the eyelids, neck, and jawline. It is also effective for scar revision and stretch mark improvement.
Micro needling is a versatile treatment ideal for addressing a wide range of concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture. It is suitable for individuals seeking overall skin rejuvenation and improvement in skin tone and elasticity.
