The tools: Plasma Pen by Louise WalshSalem, Massachusetts

The plasma pen: precise, non-invasive, and taught from this room.

The Plasma Pen by Louise Walsh is a non-invasive technology that uses controlled plasma energy to gently stimulate the skin's natural regenerative process. By encouraging collagen remodeling it improves laxity, refines texture and enhances overall tone, with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime. It works as an effective standalone treatment and pairs beautifully with laser and RF microneedling for comprehensive, customized results.

What it is

What it is, and why we chose it.

Plasma is the fourth state of matter — an ionized gas. The pen creates a tiny, controlled arc of it just above the skin, which sublimates a precise point of tissue without cutting and without heating the surrounding skin. The body responds with collagen remodeling; the surface heals cleanly under a small dry crust.

Patricia Cregier earned her plasma certification with Louise Walsh herself in 2017 — the Plasma Pen is the device the technique was built on. She has trained other providers on plasma technique since, on safe practice, the protocols that get the best outcomes, and how to combine plasma with laser and radiofrequency in one plan.

Questions people ask

Asked in the room, answered here.

Will it leave a scar?

The pen leaves small dry crusts that fall away in about a week and pink marks that fade over a few weeks. In most cases no scar — that is the reason to use plasma rather than a blade. Sun protection while it heals matters.

Does it hurt?

Numbing cream first; then a warm, prickling sensation. Small areas take minutes.

Why does it matter that Trish trains other providers?

Because technique is everything with plasma. Trish certified with Louise Walsh in 2017 and has taught other providers since, and the person holding the pen is the one who teaches it.
