Genuine Plasma Pen vs. Fake Devices: Why Choosing the Right Technician Matters

Plasma Pen treatments have become incredibly popular for skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and non-surgical eyelid lifts. But here’s a fact that many people don’t realise: not all Plasma Pens are the same, and choosing the wrong device or an unqualified technician can lead to serious skin damage.

There’s a big difference between a genuine Plasma Pen and cheap imitations, and it all comes down to the type of arc they produce and the quality of the device. If you’ve ever seen an orange arc during a treatment, that’s not real plasma energy—it’s just an electric arc that burns the skin.

So, how can you tell the difference? And why does it matter? Let’s dive into the key reasons why you should ONLY trust a genuine Plasma Pen and an experienced technician.

1. The Science Behind Genuine Plasma Pens

A real Plasma Pen generates plasma energy, which works by ionising the air between the pen tip and your skin. This creates a controlled micro-trauma that triggers fibroblast activity and stimulates natural collagen production.

🔵 Genuine Plasma Pen (Blue Plasma Arc):

✔️ Produces a blue or violet arc, which is true plasma energy

✔️ Creates precise micro-injuries without excessive heat damage

✔️ Stimulates collagen for long-lasting, natural skin tightening

✔️ Heals safely and evenly, reducing the risk of scarring or pigmentation

This controlled technique allows for safe and effective skin rejuvenation without deep burns or uncontrolled damage to the skin.

2. Fake Plasma Pens: The Danger of Orange Electric Arcs

Many so-called "Plasma Pens" sold online do NOT generate real plasma energy—they simply produce an electric arc that can burn the skin instead of stimulating collagen production.

🟠 Imitation Plasma Pens (Orange Electric Arc):

❌ Use direct electrical current instead of plasma energy

❌ Appear as an orange arc, NOT blue

❌ Deliver uncontrolled heat, increasing the risk of burns, scars, and pigmentation issues

❌ Often cheap, low-quality devices with no medical certification

Many people don’t realise they’ve had a fake Plasma Pen treatment until it’s too late—when they’re left with burns, scarring, or results that fade quickly. If you’ve seen treatments where the skin is left with deep, excessive carbon crusts, or if the device produces an orange arc, that’s a red flag. It’s not real plasma—it’s just electrical burning.

3. Why Cheap Plasma Pen Treatments Don’t Deliver Real Results

If a Plasma Pen treatment seems too cheap, there’s a reason! Genuine Plasma Pens are expensive, professional-grade devices, and the products used in a safe treatment are high-quality and costly.

✅ A real Plasma Pen is a medical-grade device, CE-certified and FDA-approved. It is carefully designed to deliver safe, effective, and controlled results.

✅ The professional products used in the treatment and aftercare are also expensive, ensuring proper healing and long-lasting skin tightening.

✅ Unqualified technicians using cheap devices charge less—but at the cost of your skin’s health and safety!

If you’ve had a cheap treatment and saw no real results, or worse—ended up with burns or scarring, chances are the technician was using a fake device with an electric arc instead of real plasma energy.

4. The Risk of Choosing an Unqualified Technician

Even if a genuine Plasma Pen is used, experience and technique matter. Plasma energy is powerful, and if not used correctly, it can cause long-term damage.

⚠️ Common mistakes made by untrained practitioners:

❌ Over-treatment, leading to excessive scabbing, slow healing, and scars

❌ Poor spacing of plasma dots, causing patchy or uneven results

❌ Incorrect technique, increasing the risk of hyperpigmentation or permanent marks

❌ Lack of proper aftercare advice, leaving clients with healing complications

Plasma Pen is not a treatment that just anyone can perform—it requires proper training and experience.

5. How to Spot a Fake Plasma Pen and an Unqualified Technician

Before booking a Plasma Pen treatment, ask these key questions to make sure you’re in safe hands:

✅ What brand of Plasma Pen do you use? (It should be CE-certified or FDA-approved.)

✅ Does your device produce a blue arc or an orange arc? (Only blue is real plasma!)

✅ Where did you train? (Proper certification matters!)

✅ Can I see real before-and-after photos? (Avoid stock images—ask for real results from actual clients.)

✅ What aftercare do you provide? (Healing is just as important as the treatment itself.)

6. Real Plasma, Real Results

Plasma Pen is an incredible skin-tightening treatment, but only when performed correctly with a real device by a skilled technician. If done incorrectly, the damage can be permanent.

Your skin is an investment—don’t risk it with cheap imitations.
