At Curve-U Slimming & Wellness Clinic, we are committed to providing safe, professional aesthetic treatments using modern technology. Since opening our doors in 2012, we have built a reputation for offering high-quality, non-surgical treatments in a professional clinical environment. One of our newest services is Spot Plasma Pen Lesion Removal and Tattoo Fading, performed by certified Plasma Pen Practitioner Roxanna Pienaar.
Whether you are looking to remove a bothersome skin tag, reduce the appearance of a benign mole, or gradually fade an unwanted tattoo, Plasma Pen technology offers a precise and minimally invasive solution.
What is a Plasma Pen?
A Plasma Pen is an advanced cosmetic device that creates a tiny, controlled plasma flash above the surface of the skin. This plasma energy precisely targets the treatment area without the needle deeply penetrating the skin.
The treatment creates controlled micro trauma, allowing the body’s natural healing process to remove unwanted tissue or gradually break down tattoo pigment while encouraging healthy skin renewal.
Every treatment is performed using single-use sterile needle tips in a sterile, hygienic clinical environment.
How Does Plasma Pen Lesion Removal Work?
Plasma Pen is commonly used to treat selected benign skin lesions, including:
- Skin tags
- Benign moles
- Seborrheic keratosis
- Cherry angiomas
- Syringomas
- Xanthelasma
The plasma flash precisely targets the lesion, dehydrating the tissue and interrupting its blood supply. The treated lesion gradually dries out, forms a small protective crust, and naturally falls away during the healing process.
Because the surrounding skin is minimally affected, healing is generally straightforward when aftercare instructions are followed carefully.
Every lesion is assessed during your consultation to determine whether it is suitable for cosmetic treatment. If a lesion appears unusual or suspicious, we may recommend assessment by a medical doctor or dermatologist before treatment.
How Does Plasma Pen Tattoo Fading Work?
Unlike surgical tattoo removal, Plasma Pen Tattoo Fading is a gradual process.
The controlled plasma energy creates tiny treatment points over the tattoo, encouraging the body’s natural healing response while helping break down and lift tattoo pigment over time.
As the skin heals, the tattoo gradually becomes lighter. Most tattoos require multiple sessions depending on factors such as:
- Tattoo size
- Ink colour
- Ink depth
- Tattoo age
- Individual skin healing
Many clients choose Plasma Pen Tattoo Fading to reduce the appearance of unwanted tattoos or to prepare the area for a future cover-up tattoo.
Is the Treatment Painful?
To maximise comfort, anaesthetic-grade numbing creams are applied before every treatment.
Most clients describe the sensation as mild warmth, tingling, or small pinpricks rather than significant pain.
What Can I Expect After Treatment?
Following treatment, it is normal for a small crust or scab to develop over the treated area.
This forms part of the natural healing process and should never be picked or scratched.
Healing time varies depending on the size of the treatment area and your individual skin response, but most areas heal within one to two weeks.
A professional aftercare kit and detailed aftercare instructions are provided to help support proper healing and achieve the best possible outcome.
