Plasma Pen Technician

A plasma pen is a non-invasive device that uses ionized gas (plasma) to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin surface, stimulating the body's natural healing response and collagen production. It is commonly used for skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, eyelid lifting, scar treatment, and the removal of skin tags or sunspots.
