Acne is the most common skin condition in the U.S.
Affecting up to 50 million Americans each year. Skin has tiny openings called pores that release oils and sweat. When oil, sweat, and dirt get trapped inside those pores, it can cause pimples to form, leading to unwanted acne outbreaks.

White heads: closed bumps under the surface of the skin
Black heads: open bumps turned black from oxygen exposure
Cysts: large, painful lumps under the skin that contain pus

A Plasma Pen treatment reduces acne scarring by stimulating fibroblast therapy, which induces collagen production. Plasma energy, generated by combining electrostatic energy and nitrogen from the air, rejuvenates the skin and leaves you with a clear, youthful complexion. The plasma energy also destroys the bacteria which contributes to the formation of acne.
Fine lines and wrinkles tend to form when we make facial expressions like squinting, frowning and furrowing our brows. These are known as dynamic wrinkles or expression lines. Our nerves send signals to our muscles to create physical displays of certain emotions, and the movement of these muscles causes our skin to crease.
Bellafill combines the age-defying benefits of dermal fillers with incredible acne scar reduction. As the first and only filler approved to treat acne scars, Bellafill uses polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres to restore your skin’s tone and youthfulness.
