It often seems like there’s a hot new aesthetic treatment hitting the scene every month. There’s certainly no shortage of lasers and peels and microneedling devices and skin-tightening treatments out there, all promising to deliver smoother, firmer, more even skin in some way, shape, or form. So where does plasma fibroblasting—also known as plasma pen treatment<\/a>—come into play? Here, experts explain what sets this technology apart from its counterparts and why it may be something to consider.<\/p>

Plasma fibroblasting technology isn’t new<\/h2>

Here’s a surprising plot twist: While plasma pens are all the rage on Instagram, the technology itself is nothing new. “Plasma energy has long been used in surgery for cautery purposes, and the first studies surrounding its aesthetic functions were done back in 2007 and 2008,” says Dr. Amelia K. Hausauer<\/a>, a board-certified dermatologist in Campbell, California. So why is it suddenly garnering attention? She attributes the increased interest to social media (photos of the procedure, with its telltale pinpoint dots on areas like the eyelids, are certainly eye-catching) as well as the advent of devices, such as the plasma pen, marketed to a wider range of providers, including aestheticians without a medical degree. Dr. Ava Shamban<\/a>, a board-certified dermatologist in Beverly Hills, California, also credits the ‘new normal’ of the past year and a half, which has allowed people to stay at home throughout the recovery period. The downtime with this treatment can be relatively considerable, so when patients don’t have to go to an office and can just turn off their Zoom, they may be more apt to try it, she explains.<\/p>
