Jett Plasma Soft Surgery
Plasma pen soft surgery is the next generation of technology used for skin tightening and collagen production. At Aesthetic Options, we use the Jett Plasma Lift Pen – the world’s first patented direct current electrocautery device used for aesthetic medicine.
The Jett Plasma Lift Pen medical uses revolutionary technology based on electrical discharge (plasma) which is generated between the safe, high-voltage tip of the device and the treated area. The technology is extremely precise and only penetrates the superficial layer of the skin, causing instant contraction and tightening, leaving behind a trace of carbon in the form of a crust. This crust heals, leaving the treated skin looking tighter and rejuvenated. The plasma is able to produce a significant amount of collagen contraction and production in the skin in areas we were previously not able to treat as effectively non-surgically.
One of the most exciting Jett Plasma treatments is the non-surgical eye-lift, also referred to as a blepharoplasty. An eye-lift can take years off someone’s face, but because of the surgical risks involved, it’s an aesthetic concern commonly left untreated.
The Jett Plasma eye-lift produces results equivalent to open surgery, or even better. Furthermore, it is safe, quick, more affordable and delivers almost instant results. With Jett Plasma, you can simultaneously treat upper and lower eyelids and it can be used to erase wrinkles and permanent expression lines around the eyes.

Frequently asked questions
The term “Soft Surgery” is used to describe the effects of the plasma pen device because it delivers surgical results, but with no scalpel, wounds or stitches, no bandages and minimal downtime. It implies minimally invasive procedures, with lower risk and at a more affordable price.
Jett Plasma treatments are convenient, quick and performed by a trained doctor. An injectable local anaesthetic or topical anesthetic cream is applied prior to the treatment and the treatment time depends on the area being treated, but typically it’s between 20min and 40min. When comparing a Jett Plasma treatment to the cost of traditional, open surgery, it is about 50 – 75% less.
Other benefits include:
