Plasma Pen is the beauty world’s most

lifting, skin tightening and rejuvenation device
and treatment. It is used in a variety of
procedures to dramatically enhance looks
without the need for costly and invasive
surgery.
Plasma Pen ‘fibroblasting’ is a highly
versatile and non-surgical procedure that’s
stunningly effective in wrinkle smoothing,
eyelid tightening and eyelid hood reduction
(blepharoplasty) and able to treat, repair, lift
and rejuvenate any area of the skin to
spectacularly improve and brighten skin tone,
laxity and texture, significantly tighten loose
skin and dramatically reduce, inflate and
plump lines and wrinkles.
LUMENIS IPL WHAT IS IPL?
Intense Pulsed Light (abbreviated IPL)
describes the use of intense pulses of non-
coherent light distributed over a range of
wavelengths; from 400nm to 1200nm. The
technology utilises specific wavelength ranges
to target various chromophores in the skin.
This enables effective treatment of a broad
spectrum of conditions, including vascular
and pigmented lesions, skin photoaging
treatments and hair removal.
HOW DOES IPL WORK?
Broad spectrum pulsed light is transmitted
through a continuously cooled applicator,
gently placed over the skin. Cut-off filters in
the handpiece change the range of
wavelengths, optimising it for different
applications and skin types. The light
penetrates the tissue and is absorbed by either
the relevant chromophores and damages
them (blood chromophores when treating
vascular lesions and melanin chromophores
when treating pigmented lesions). The body’s
natural processes then clear the lesion debris,
giving the skin a more even and youthful
appearance.
