Tighten. Refine. Rejuvenate Your Skin.
As we age, our skin gradually loses collagen and elasticity, which can make fine lines, crepiness and areas of loose skin more noticeable. These changes are often particularly apparent around the eyes, where the skin is naturally thinner and may begin to appear less firm.
At Pure Perfection, Plasma Pen treatment, including Plasma IQ, offers a targeted approach to improving skin laxity and texture. Using controlled plasma energy, treatment creates precise points of contraction within the skin, encouraging tissue tightening and a natural healing response. It can be particularly useful for delicate areas where a more focused treatment is required.
Plasma Pen is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses controlled energy to create small, targeted points on the skin’s surface. Recovery and results vary depending on the area treated and the intensity of the procedure.
Mild to moderate
Long-lasting improvements, although ageing continues
Usually 7–14 days for initial healing
Approximately 30–60 minutes
Topical anaesthetic may be used
Develop progressively over several weeks to months
Skin laxity develops as collagen and elastin decline and the tissues gradually lose their natural support. Around the eyes, forehead and other delicate facial areas, even relatively small changes in skin elasticity can make fine lines, folds and crepiness more noticeable.
Plasma Pen technology uses an electrical discharge to ionise the air between the device tip and the skin, creating a focused plasma arc. This produces controlled superficial micro-injuries that cause localised tissue contraction and trigger the skin’s healing response. Plasma IQ is a precision plasma device designed for applications including eyelid laxity and selected facial skin concerns.
Your treatment begins with an assessment of your skin, including its thickness, elasticity, pigmentation, degree of laxity and the area you would like to improve. We’ll also review your medical history and discuss whether plasma treatment is appropriate for your skin type and concerns.
Following preparation of the treatment area and application of anaesthetic where appropriate, the practitioner uses the plasma device to deliver controlled points of energy across the selected skin. Each point creates a small area of contraction, with the treatment pattern and intensity adapted to the individual.
Small dark crusts typically develop at the treatment points, alongside redness and swelling. These crusts must be allowed to separate naturally as the skin heals. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions, including advice on cleansing, sun protection and avoiding activities or products that could interfere with recovery.
Plasma Pen may be suitable for adults experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity, fine lines or crepiness, particularly around the upper eyelids and other small facial areas. It may also be considered for selected superficial skin concerns where precise treatment is appropriate. Suitability depends on skin type, medical history and the degree of laxity present.
Precision is particularly important when treating delicate skin.
At Pure Perfection, we assess the area carefully before recommending plasma treatment. The aim is to create a controlled improvement in skin firmness and appearance without unnecessarily aggressive treatment. Where significant loose skin or excess upper eyelid tissue is present, we will explain when a surgical assessment may offer a more appropriate solution.
Some tissue contraction occurs during treatment, but the final appearance cannot be judged immediately because swelling and the healing process temporarily affect the skin. Once the surface has recovered, the treated area may gradually appear smoother and firmer.
Further improvements can develop over the following weeks and months as the skin remodels. Results vary according to the treatment area, skin condition and individual healing response. Some patients may benefit from additional treatment, while others may achieve an appropriate improvement after one session.

Plasma Pen focuses on selected areas of skin laxity and texture. Depending on your wider concerns, other treatments may be recommended at separate appointments to address hydration, facial volume, expression lines or overall skin quality.
Relax selected facial muscles to soften expression lines, complementing plasma treatment where both muscle movement and changes in skin elasticity contribute to visible ageing.
Support skin quality and regenerative processes where fine lines, crepiness or reduced elasticity are concerns. Treatment should be appropriately spaced to allow the skin to recover fully.
Improve hydration and skin quality from within, particularly where dryness and fine lines remain concerns alongside localised skin laxity.
Support the skin barrier and longer-term skin health with an appropriate home routine. Skincare must be adapted during plasma treatment recovery, with potentially irritating active ingredients avoided until the skin has healed.
Treatment stacking is the practice of combining different clinical modalities, either in a single session or a structured timeline to address skin health comprehensively rather than trying to fix everything with one tool.
Plasma Pen, including Plasma IQ, can be used for selected areas where precise skin contraction and surface remodelling are appropriate. Treatment suitability will depend on the concern, location and individual skin characteristics.
Loose or crepey upper eyelid skin can become more noticeable with age. Plasma IQ may be considered for suitable patients with mild to moderate laxity who are seeking a non-surgical improvement in skin firmness.
Fine lines around the outer eye area can develop through facial movement and declining skin elasticity. Plasma treatment may help improve the appearance of selected superficial lines through controlled skin remodelling.
Thin, finely wrinkled skin can develop as elasticity and collagen support decline. Carefully selected plasma treatment may help improve the appearance of the early signs of ageing in suitable areas.
Where superficial forehead lines are associated with changes in skin texture and elasticity, plasma treatment may be considered to improve skin smoothness. Expression lines caused primarily by muscle movement may be better addressed with anti-wrinkle treatment.
Small areas of mild skin looseness may benefit from targeted tissue contraction. Plasma treatment is generally more appropriate for localised concerns than extensive facial sagging.
Plasma IQ can also be used for the precise treatment of certain superficial skin lesions. Any lesion must be properly assessed before removal, and suspicious or changing lesions require appropriate medical investigation rather than cosmetic treatment.
Every treatment begins with understanding your skin, concerns and desired results. Plasma treatment requires careful planning and appropriate recovery, so we’ll make sure you know what to expect before proceeding.

The aim is to improve skin firmness and texture without dramatically changing your appearance. Results depend on the area treated, the degree of laxity and your individual healing response.
The skin contracts during treatment, but swelling and crusting initially affect its appearance. Visible improvements can become clearer once healing has progressed, with further changes developing over the following weeks and months.
Improvements may be long-lasting, but plasma treatment does not stop the natural ageing process. Longevity varies according to your skin, the area treated and individual factors such as sun exposure and lifestyle.
Yes. Unlike many non-invasive skin treatments, Plasma Pen causes visible changes to the skin during healing. Small crusts, redness and swelling are expected, and initial recovery commonly takes around one to two weeks. Redness or pigmentation changes can sometimes persist longer.
A topical anaesthetic may be applied to improve comfort. You may still experience warmth, stinging or discomfort during treatment, particularly in sensitive areas.
Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness and crusting are expected. Other potential complications include prolonged redness, infection, changes in pigmentation, burns and scarring. These risks are particularly important when treating delicate areas or darker skin tones and will be discussed during your consultation.
