Treatment Options Available

Plasma Skin Tightening can focus on one area or treat the eyelids and mouth together as a customised package. A consultation is required to check the areas being treated, discuss the results you want and explain the healing process. Your treatment will then be booked for a separate day.

Customised Area Package

For treating the eyelids and mouth area as part of the same plan. This option works on loose skin around the eyes and lines around the upper lip or mouth. The exact treatment area will be confirmed during your consultation.

How does Plasma Skin Tightening work?

Plasma Skin Tightening uses a small probe to apply plasma energy in a pattern of tiny points across the treatment area. Each point creates a controlled heat response at the skin’s surface, causing the tissue to contract.

This controlled response also starts the skin’s natural repair process. As the area heals, changes in the skin may help it look firmer and make lines less visible. Results depend on the area treated, the amount of loose skin and how your skin heals.

A topical anaesthetic is applied around 40 minutes before treatment. Small brown dots form where the plasma energy has been applied and usually fall away within three to five days.

Plasma Skin Tightening FAQs

A consultation is required before Plasma Skin Tightening so Sangita can assess the area, discuss the result you’re hoping for and check that the treatment is suitable for your skin.

Yes. Plasma Skin Tightening may also be called a plasma pen or fibroblast treatment. A small probe creates points of plasma energy at the surface of the skin to produce a controlled heat response.

A little, but numbing cream is applied around 40 minutes before treatment. You may still feel some warmth, stinging or sensitivity, especially around the eyes or mouth.

Some tightening may be visible straight after treatment, but swelling can make the result difficult to judge. You will get a clearer idea once the brown dots have fallen away and the skin has settled. Results vary from person to person.

Use the aftercare products provided until the brown dots fall away naturally. Do not pick or scratch them, as this can affect healing. The treated skin should also be protected from the sun.

No. Plasma Skin Tightening does not use a scalpel or stitches, but it still creates controlled heat points on the skin. It may improve mild loose skin and lines, but it does not remove excess skin or give the same result as eyelid surgery.

There is a minor risk of scarring, infection or changes in skin colour. Skin tone, treatment settings and aftercare can all affect this risk. Sangita will make sure your skin is assessed during the consultation before any treatment is booked.

The treatment may not be suitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking or have recently taken isotretinoin, have broken or infected skin in the treatment area, have a history of raised scars, or have a health condition that affects healing. Your medical history will be reviewed during the required consultation.

Skinworks Clinic is absolutely lovely and they really care about doing what’s best for your skin! Highly recommend coming in for a consultation and facial with Sangita - she’s the best 🩷 Sangita introduced me to the Dermalyte LED mask and red light therapy. It has been the best and most effective treatment for my facial eczema! Since starting using my Dermalyte flares clear up much faster and my skin stays looking healthy and less dull. If you’re looking for something that has lasting results I highly recommend! Sangita is very knowledgeable and works to find a treatment that suits you!!

Great experience! My first facial service here in NZ & I was very happy with the process and results of my facial. Skinworks clinic is located in a convient area, clean space with a great amount of self-care services that are reasonably priced. I booked my second facial before I left :)

Update on healing : I had my 3rd therapy and it’s improved so much! If you can afford it, I definitely recommend getting a LED Light mask. BUT please remember to always follow the aftercare instructions if you’re getting plasmapen done!! —————————————————————————— Update on healing : Had the 2nd LED light therapy. As always, Sangita is always welcoming and friendly. The LEF therapy is definitely working. But if you’re Asian and considering having a Plasma done especially on Upper lip, please adhere to the instructions. Trust me, it’s very important. And be patient. It does take time to heal!! —————————————————————————— ↓further to my previous post: I’ve done my first Plasmapen session on my nose and upper lip with Sangita. She was very welcoming and friendly, and very assuring. She has again explained the risk factors and advised why two small areas are the best options to go ahead today when I said I wanted full face. Im looking forward to my next appointment! —————————————————————————— I’ve done a long research on Plasma Pen treatment and found this place, but I was very hesitant to go ahead. Sangita has kindly called me and gave me a thorough explanation and never pushed me to go ahead with the treatment. I haven’t had the treatment yet but already rating 5. Looking forward to it.

After my first appointment at skin works I knew I was in the right place. I had never had the experience before where someone had taken such time to get to know me and my skin before suggesting a treatment or product. I totally trust Sangita and have already seen huge improvements in my skin texture and tone after only a couple of months.

Sangita is the best!! I'm on a really strict budget and she works magic with it. I always leave with a clean, happy face. She's so gentle and understanding, I highly recommend seeing her if you're new to skincare or intimidated by it. Can't wait for my next appointment ☺️
