Subnovii Plasma Pen
Subnovii Plasma Pen
Dr. James Sherman, our Medical Director added the Subnovii Plasma Pen as a nonsurgical treatment to treat fine lines and wrinkles effectively. The subnovii plasma pen delivers surgical-like results with minimal downtime. This device uses advanced plasma technology with LF+ technology that is now FDA cleared as the latest medical device of its kind. The method used is often referred to as the fibroblasting method. Patients only require local anesthesia and downtime time is 7-14 days on average depending on the area treated, patient’s age, and other life-style factors.
How Does The Plasma Pen Treatment Work?
Plasma pen treatments emit energy that instantly sublimates a precise spot on the skin area. A sealed wound is created and shock delivered to the tissue below to stimulate fibroblast activity which stimulates collagen, elastin fibers and hyaluronic acid.
The tip of the Subnovii plasma device should never actually touch the skin but it’s the power of molecular physics that gives this treatment its magic and certainly has the ability to lift and tighten the skin and erases fine lines and wrinkles.
Dr. Sherman will determine whether you are a good candidate for plasma pen treatments when you visit us for your consultation. The first step in learning more is to book your consultation with Dr. Sherman at New Skin Medical Spa.
The Subnovii Plasma Pen Treatment
Because the Subnovii plasma device creates an instant wound on the skin, small scabs will form that can take 7-10 days to fall off. The scabs are a natural and protective barrier to the magic taking place below. Because the treatment area is immediately sealed, there is a very low risk of side effects but the skin may feel tight and itchy as the area heals. Once the scabs all off, the skin beneath may look pink. This is renewed skin and any redness should progressively fade.

Subnovii Plasma Pen Frequently Asked Questions
Plasma is similar to a gas but conducts electricity. Plasma already exists along the surface of your skin and with Subnovii’s extremely advanced technology, this device is able to convert the space between the tip of the pen and the patient’s skin into a plasma spark. The tip of the pen never even makes contact with the skin. This device is ergonomically superior and was actually crafted from lightweight materials used by NASA.
The Subnovii stimulates fibroblast activity which then stimulates collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. It also tightens and contracts the epidermis, resulting in firmer and more youthful skin.
Subnovii’s low frequency doesn’t mean low energy. In fact Subnovii energy provides more control resulting in more precise results with reduced healing time.
Every patient will receive post-care instructions and after-care products to keep the area dry and to help with the healing process.
It is important to use SPF30 or higher at all times and avoid prolonged sun exposure for up to 4 weeks after treatment. If you are planning a vacation in a warm climate be sure to protect the area, wear a sunshield, and stay in the shade to avoid scarring and hyperpigmentation of the area.
The length of the procedure will depend on the area you are treating. It is important to schedule a consultation with Dr. Sherman to discuss your areas of concern and develop a treatment plan specific to you.
