Plasma Pen, 9-Step

About the Plasma Pen, 9-Step

The Plasma Pen, 9-Step is a compact pen-style device for trained professionals. A plasma pen forms a tiny electrical arc between its tip and the surface of the skin, with the tip held just clear of the skin rather than pressed onto it. The arc produces very localised heat at a single point, so the device is used on one small spot at a time, not across an area.

This model has nine adjustable intensity levels. The lower settings allow a cautious start, and the practitioner moves up the scale only as far as the skin and the mark in front of them call for. The pen body is light and slim, which helps with accuracy on small areas where a larger handpiece would get in the way. It is used by trained professionals on skin tags and small superficial marks.

Results vary from person to person and depend on the practitioner's judgement and the individual skin, so no particular outcome can be promised. Dermis & Dosis imports the 9-Step and supplies it to clinics and trained practitioners in Pakistan. For more settings and higher power, the Plasma Pen, 19-Step High Power is listed alongside it.

In the treatment room

A plasma pen belongs in a clinic where a doctor or trained practitioner examines every mark before anything is done. A mole or pigmented spot that is changing, irregular or uncertain needs a medical opinion, not a cosmetic procedure. Clean the skin and let any alcohol-based preparation dry fully, start at a low setting, work in a well-ventilated room, and follow the manufacturer's instructions on tips and cleaning. Give clear aftercare advice, including that the spot needs time to settle. Used this way, the 9-Step suits a dermatology or aesthetic clinic with occasional skin tag appointments.
