Description
A plasma pen, sometimes known as a “fibroblast” gadget, is a commercially available instrument used to remove benign moles and spots.
Here is a synopsis of its operation, possible efficacy, and crucial safety factors:
The Operation of a Plasma Pen
When held near the skin without coming into contact with it, the device produces a tiny electrical spark, or plasma. A little dot of skin tissue is sublimated—vaporized—by this arc.
For spots or pigmentation: A little scab or “carbon crust” forms as a result of the plasma energy breaking down the pigmented cells in the epidermis’ outermost layer. The spot is frequently eliminated when the crust flakes off.
Regarding moles or skin tags: The mole tissue is vaporized by the targeted energy. During the healing process, the resulting scab slips off, allowing the underlying skin to regrow.
Possible Advantages (When Done by a Professional)
Non-Invasive: Usually, there is no cutting, suturing, or surgical excision involved.
Accuracy: The lesion can be precisely targeted due to the extremely fine plasma arc.
Minimal Scarring (Claimed): Although a slight mark or skin color change could occur, the risk of a linear scar is lower than with standard surgery.
Fast Process: The actual treatment session is frequently brief.
