Can I use at-home plasma pen for flat and raised mole removal?

uglyuglyducklingNov 28, 2024
I have three questions. Can I use a plasma pen on flat moles? Do I need protective eye goggles so that I can look at the beam as it burns away at a mole? What kind of numbing cream do I use , in case i need extra?

Thank you for the question and the pictures. Actually, that is a very good question! I agree 100% with the technique she used. The goal is to tighten the skin around the wrinkle. But, there is no harm by treating the wrinkle too.

Plasma pen can do a small amount of tightening, more in thin skin like eyelid. Radiofrequency with micro-needling is nonsurgical and will give more tightening.

Your best option would be to go to a cosmetic, not artistic, tattoo artist and get pigment placed back into the white areas. I would suggest at least two treatments, first adding a small amount of color. Also, go when you have no tan, perhaps in the winter.
