The Treatment
What Is
Plasma Pen?
Plasma Pen is a non-surgical skin-tightening technology that generates a precise plasma arc by ionizing atmospheric gases between the pen tip and your skin. The arc — which never directly touches the surface — delivers controlled energy that instantly vaporizes (sublimates) the outermost skin layer while simultaneously contracting the underlying dermal tissue.
As the controlled wound heals, your skin enters a collagen-production surge. This means results don’t just appear — they continue to improve for 3 to 12 months after your treatment. The outcome is authentically tighter, smoother, firmer skin that looks naturally younger, never “done.”
At Templum Aesthetics & Wellness in Kirkland, WA, Plasma Pen replaces costly surgical procedures — blepharoplasty, facelifts, and neck lifts — with significantly less risk, less downtime, and lasting results

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Plasma Pen cost in Kirkland, WA?
Cost varies based on the number of areas treated and the extent of concern. Plasma Pen is significantly more affordable than surgical alternatives like blepharoplasty ($3,000–$8,000+) or a facelift. Contact Templum Aesthetics & Wellness at (425) 270-1447 or book a complimentary consultation for a personalized quote.
How painful is Plasma Pen treatment?
Most patients describe discomfort as moderate and very manageable. A professional-grade topical numbing cream is applied 30–60 minutes before treatment, making the procedure tolerable for most. Upper eyelids are the most sensitive area. Patients commonly compare the sensation to tiny heat pricks or snapping. You will always have the option to pause during treatment.
Can I go to work after Plasma Pen?
Plan for 7–10 days of social downtime. Swelling and visible carbon crusts make it impractical to appear professional during this period. We recommend scheduling your treatment before a long weekend, vacation week, or during a quieter period at work. Avoid all important events — weddings, presentations, social functions — for at least 2 weeks.
How many Plasma Pen sessions will I need?
Many patients achieve their desired results in a single treatment session. For more significant concerns — such as severe hooded eyelids or deep wrinkles — a second treatment 8–12 weeks after the first can meaningfully enhance outcomes. Stretch marks and some scarring may benefit from 2–3 sessions spaced 8–12 weeks apart.
How does Plasma Pen differ from laser treatments?
Plasma Pen uses plasma energy to physically sublimate (vaporize) the skin’s surface layer, causing immediate tissue contraction and lifting. Lasers use light energy and generally produce more gradual tightening results requiring more sessions. Plasma Pen typically produces more dramatic eyelid lifting and overall tightening, though with a slightly longer initial downtime.
Can Plasma Pen be combined with Botox or fillers?
Yes — with precise timing. Wait at least 4–6 weeks after Botox or dermal filler treatments before undergoing Plasma Pen. After Plasma Pen, allow 4–6 weeks of healing before any other facial procedures. When properly sequenced, combining modalities can produce exceptional results. Our team will create an optimized treatment plan during your consultation.
Is Plasma Pen effective for under-eye bags?
Plasma Pen is highly effective for under-eye crepiness, fine lines, and mild lower eyelid laxity. However, it does not remove fat-filled bags — those require lower blepharoplasty surgery. During your consultation, our practitioners will honestly assess whether Plasma Pen can address your specific under-eye concern or whether a referral is more appropriate.
How long until I can wear makeup after Plasma Pen?
You must wait until all carbon crusts have naturally shed before applying any makeup — typically 7–14 days. Applying cosmetics over intact crusts can cause infection, scarring, and compromise your results. Once cleared, mineral makeup is recommended initially as it is less likely to irritate healing skin.
