Options for minimally invasive advanced skincare treatments have experienced dramatic growth in the past two decades. According to the latest statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the number of primary minimally invasive treatments jumped from eight in 2000 to more than 24 in 2020. Meanwhile, the number of procedures performed each year grew by 174% during this span.

With hands-on experience witnessing this growth, Southwest Florida’s Tru Glō Medspa closely tracks the release of innovative new treatments so that we can offer the most effective ones to our Naples-area clients. Among the innovative treatments we offer is plasma skin resurfacing, which is also called “fibroblasting,” “plasma fibroblast therapy,” or “plasma pen treatment ” to describe the pen-like device used to deliver the treatment. And now, Tru Glō Medspa is pleased to offer its clients the most advanced plasma skin resurfacing treatment available with the Subnovii Plasma Pen.

Understanding the Technology Behind the Subnovii Plasma Pen Procedure

Plasma skin resurfacing uses a pen-like device to discharge high-frequency current to targeted skin areas. The current energizes a thin layer of plasma—ionized gas—over the skin’s surface, and the generated heat causes the epidermis to contract and tighten. While this alone helps make the skin look more youthful, energy also penetrates deeper into the skin, creating micro-injuries that stimulate a fibroblast-oriented healing response at the cellular level. This thermal disruption encourages tissue regeneration that produces new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid for longer-term youthful skin resurfacing results.

The FDA-approved Subnovii Plasma Pen represents an improvement over other plasma resurfacing treatments due to its patented low-frequency wavelength and power combination. With enhanced control over the energy release, the Subnovii plasma pen allows for greater treatment precision and reduces the patient’s healing time. Subnovii’s technology has proven especially effective at treating delicate areas around the eyes and mouth.

Benefits Provided by the Subnovii Plasma Pen

The Subnovii Plasma Pen can be used to tighten and improve the skin’s appearance anywhere on the body, but it is primarily used to treat skin conditions and signs of aging on the face and neck. As a targeted therapy, it treats:

• Wrinkles and fine lines
• Loose or sagging skin
• Crow’s feet
• Smoker’s lines
• Marionette lines
• Necklines
• Acne scarring
• Age spots
• Scars and stretch marks
• Eyelid drooping
• Laugh lines

Subnovii results are long-lasting, with noticeable improvements emerging for months after treatment. In fact, the ongoing stimulation of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production helps treatment results last one to three times longer than Botox and most other injectables. With over six years of development and third-party testing, the procedure is safe and requires far less downtime than other, more invasive procedures.

The Subnovii Plasma Pen Experience

To prepare for your Subnovii Plasma Pen treatment, keep your skin moisturized, stay hydrated, and avoid sun exposure in the days leading up to your appointment. Before the treatment begins, your trained aesthetician will wash the targeted area(s) and apply a numbing cream to the skin to help ease any discomfort. During treatment, you sit back and relax while the aesthetician carefully runs the pen over the treatment area. Most treatments take an hour or less, and you can immediately resume your regular daily activities.

For at least one to two weeks. your skin will show signs of the treatment, marked by pinkness, perhaps some mild swelling, and tiny scabs that will form and take five to 10 days to fall off naturally. These scabs serve as a protective barrier, so try not to pick at them. Tru Glō Medspa will provide you with additional aftercare instructions that will help ensure proper healing and optimize results. As your skin heals, the anti-aging effects will become readily apparent with tighter-feeling skin and improvements to any specific conditions targeted. The skin enhancements will continue over the ensuing months due to the ongoing skin regeneration promoted by the heat energy.
