Plasma pen gets beneath the skin

摘要

Ahandheld plasma pen that fires ionised gas at damaged or unhealthy skin could be used to treat a range of conditions, from acne to diabetes. The plasma pen could be used for cosmetic procedures such as skin cleaning and rejuvenation, and for sterilising long-term wounds, including diabetic ulcers and bed sores, without the risk of infection or the need for drugs. The plasma treatment, which is non-invasive, could be used to replace some surgical procedures, and can significantly reduce scarring. It has been designed by product consultancy Triteq for Fourth State Medicine.
