Plasma pen mole removal has recently gained popularity as a cosmetic technique for removing moles. This method uses a handheld medical device that creates a small electrical device on the skin’s surface that dries up the mole tissue without direct contact. The plasma pen essentially “burns off” the mole in thin layers, allowing for a precise targeting of the area. During the treatment, the pen plasma device emits a small spark or stream of ionized gas that reacts with the skin, causing damage to the mole tissue. The treated area of skin ends up forming a scab, which naturally falls off as the skin heals. Most patients describe the sensation as a slight stinging or tingling feeling during the procedure. A topical numbing cream is often applied beforehand to make the experience more comfortable. After the session, some redness and swelling may occur a few days after the procedure. It can take up to 2 months for the area of the skin to be fully healed, depending on the mole’s size and depth. Pen plasma removal can be used on various types of skin textures and skin tones. However, it is important to note that there is a higher chance of skin pigmentation changes and scarring for those with darker skin tones. When performed by an experienced doctor, Plasma Pen removal is considered safe and effective. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there’s a small risk of infection or scarring. When performed correctly by a doctor, pen plasma removal can effectively eliminate raised and flat moles, leaving smoother skin. However, because this technique is harsh on the skin tissue, it can lead to severe scarring and uneven skin texture. Many patients attempt to buy plasma pens from online retailers. It’s important to be aware that these off market brands are not FDA regulated and can be very dangerous to use. Brands like the Neurderma Fibroblast Plasma Pen, Goodgoods Electric Plasma Pen Mole Remover are not medical grade alternatives for mole removal. At Mole Removal Temecula, we use the radiofrequency method for safe and effective mole removal.

One of the biggest pros of getting plasma pen mole removal is that it is a great non-surgical option. The mole is removed without any cutting or stitches, which is a less invasive and less harsh treatment option. For patients who are worried about the scarring left from typical excision methods, this can feel like a better option for mole removal. The plasma pen can also be used to remove small skin tags and freckles making it a great medical tool for cosmetic procedures. The plasma pen works by creating small injuries in the skin in order to stimulate healing, it also has some skin tightening benefits! However, while plasma pen mole removal can be effective, it is not always the best choice for every mole. All moles are different and should be treated according to their uniqueness. Flat or deep rooted moles may require multiple sessions and in some cases, the mole can regrow if the mole tissue isn’t fully removed. Since the treatment relies on controlled burning, the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is higher, especially in individuals with medium to dark skin tones. For those who prioritize flawless cosmetic results with minimal risk of scarring, other techniques such as radiofrequency ablation are often preferred. The price of pen plasma mole removal typically ranges from $250 to $600 per mole, depending on the size, number of moles, and the provider’s location.
Why We Do Not Recommend Plasma Pen for Mole Removal
At Mole Removal Temecula, our medical professionals do not recommend The Plasma Pen for any mole or skin tag removals. Our mole removal surgeons prefer to remove moles and skin tags using radiofrequency ablation. Radiofrequency ablation is a very precise, minimally invasive technique that uses heat energy to gently remove mole cells. It’s safe and effective for all skin types and textures. Unlike Pen plasma, radiofrequency ablation is safe and effective for moles of shapes and sizes. Our patients love radiofrequency ablation because it’s minimally invasive, which makes for faster healing, better cosmetic outcomes, and long-lasting results. If you’re considering mole removal, our mole surgeon can assess your skin and recommend the most effective option for your needs.
