A Gentle Lift
For your skin, the smallest details can make the biggest difference. At Well Labs+ Medspa Royal Oak, we can help you show that difference with a Plasma Pen treatment in Royal Oak, MI. This gentle, nonsurgical treatment tightens and smooths skin with precision, giving you balanced and natural-looking results.
What It Treats:
- Hooded or droopy upper eyelids
- Under-eye wrinkles and crepey skin
- Crow's feet
- Lines around the mouth
- Sagging jawline and neck skin
- Loss of elasticity
- Stretch marks and acne scars
Treatment
After numbing cream, your provider moves the Plasma Pen just above the skin. It creates tiny plasma arcs that leave a pattern of small dots, tightening the skin on contact and triggering new collagen. Most sessions take 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the area.
Results
You will see some tightening right away. The small dots form crusts that flake off in 5 to 7 days, and results keep improving for 8 to 12 weeks as collagen builds.
Follow-Up
Many clients need only one session; some areas benefit from a second session 8 to 12 weeks later. Results can last for years with good skincare and daily SPF.
What to Expect
We’re here to guide you through the process, relieving what stress we can, communicating openly, and setting realistic expectations.
How Plasma Pen Works
Plasma Pen (also called plasma fibroblast) uses a small electrical arc of plasma that never touches the skin. Each tiny point gently tightens the skin around it and prompts the body to make new collagen and elastin. Because it treats skin in small, precise points, it works well on delicate areas such as the eyelids, where a laser or surgery may not be the right choice.
Non-Surgical Eyelid Lift
Hooded upper eyelids are one of the most common reasons clients choose Plasma Pen. It can lift and tighten the loose skin above the eye without cutting, stitches or general anesthesia. It is a good option for mild to moderate hooding; your provider will tell you honestly if surgery would give you a better result.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Plasma Pen treatment?
A non-surgical skin tightening treatment that uses a tiny plasma arc to tighten loose skin and boost collagen. It is often used for hooded eyelids, under-eye wrinkles and crepey skin.
Does Plasma Pen hurt?
We apply numbing cream first. Most clients feel warmth and a mild snapping sensation that is easy to tolerate.
How much downtime is there?
Plan for about 5 to 7 days. Expect swelling, especially around the eyes, and small crusted dots that flake off on their own.
When will I see results?
You will see some tightening right away. Full results show after 8 to 12 weeks as new collagen forms.
How many sessions will I need?
Many clients need one session. Some areas, such as deeper lines or more loose skin, benefit from a second session 8 to 12 weeks later.
How long do Plasma Pen results last?
Results can last for years. Your skin will keep aging naturally, so daily SPF and good skincare help them last longer.
Who should not have Plasma Pen?
It is not recommended if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a pacemaker or metal implants near the area, have active acne or a skin infection, take Accutane, are prone to keloid scars or have certain autoimmune conditions.
Is Plasma Pen better than eyelid surgery?
It is a non-surgical option for mild to moderate hooded eyelids, with no cutting and less recovery. For heavy excess skin, surgery may give a stronger result. Your provider will tell you which suits you.
