We all smile, laugh, and maybe squint at our phones a little too much. And, over time, those everyday expressions start to leave marks, such as crow’s feet and lip lines. Some people choose to embrace them, but others would rather smooth things out a bit. The good news is there’s a treatment that can help achieve this: Plasmage.
So, What is Plasmage?
Plasmage is a little spark that wakes your skin up. Literally. It uses a tiny, controlled burst of plasma energy (basically ionized gas) to make super small “dots” on the skin’s surface. Those dots tell your skin it’s time to make more collagen.
The result? A gentle tightening effect you’ll notice right away, with even more improvement as your skin heals and rebuilds over the next several weeks.
Why it’s Great for Crow’s Feet + Lip Lines
These are tough areas to treat. Creams usually don’t do much, and surgery can feel like way too big a step. Plasmage is kind of the “in-between”, powerful enough to make a real difference, but not so aggressive that it requires extensive recovery time.
People love plasmage because:
- It’s precise enough for delicate skin near the eyes and lips.
- No cutting, no stitches, completely non-surgical.
- Results look natural, not “overdone.”
- You can go back to most of your normal life pretty quickly.
What The Treatment Feels Like
First, numbing cream goes on so you’re comfortable. Then your provider uses a small handheld device to make tiny passes over the lines you want treated. You might feel a little warmth or light zapping.
When you’re done, you’ll see those little dot marks where the device worked its magic. They scab over lightly and fall off after a few days. The whole thing usually takes less than an hour.
Real talk: Recovery
Here’s the honest part. The morning after, you might wake up, look in the mirror, and think, “What have I done?!” because swelling is often worst first thing. Don’t freak out, it goes down pretty quickly (most people feel much better by the end of day one). After that, your skin just keeps looking better.
- Days 1–5: Redness, puffiness, and tiny dots that scab.
- Weeks 6–8: Skin tightening becomes noticeable.
- By 12 weeks: You’ll see the full, refreshed results.
A Little Prep + Aftercare
Before your appointment:
- Skip harsh skincare like retinol or exfoliants for a few days.
- Don’t show up with a sunburn or fresh tan.
- Let your provider know if you’re prone to cold sores (meds may be recommended).
After your appointment:
- Keep it gentle, no makeup until skin heals.
- Aquaphor or a soothing balm is your friend.
- Ice packs and antihistamines help if swelling bugs you.
- And of course, SPF is a must.
The Takeaway
Crow’s feet and lip lines happen to everyone, but you don’t have to live with them if they’re bothering you. Plasmage is a quick, non-surgical way to smooth and tighten, with results that look like you, just a little more rested and refreshed.
