Dry Eye Relief and Skin Rejuvenation: The Jett Plasma Pen
What is the Jett Plasma Pen?
The Jett Plasma Pen Medical is a Health Canada-approved device that uses precise direct current (DC) plasma technology to treat various eye conditions, from dry eye disease to non-surgical cosmetic procedures. Skin tightening, blepharoplasties (eyelid “lifts”), and removal of benign skin tags are some of the types of treatments often done with the Jett plasma pen. Jett offers a painless and highly effective alternative to traditional dry eye and aesthetic technologies.
How Does It Work?
The Jett Plasma Pen generates controlled plasma energy to precisely target the meibomian glands in the eyelids, addressing the leading cause of dryness while ensuring safety and comfort when treating the delicate areas of the eyes. Jett's unique mechanism of action provides improved and longer-lasting relief from dry eye symptoms by improving the quality of oil secretions from the eyelids, reducing inflammation, and decreasing bacterial load to improve tear flow and stability.
Benefits of the Jett Plasma Pen Medical
Comfort and Efficacy: Patients experience minimal discomfort during treatment. With no downtime required, you can immediately resume your regular daily activities.
Long-Lasting Relief: For dry eye therapy, four treatments over one month typically provide significant relief of symptoms for up to 6 to 12 months. Eyelid lifts, removal of skin tags, chalazia (eyelid bumps) are usually resolved after a few days after treatment.
Skin Rejuvenation: The Jett Plasma Pen Medical is an advanced skin-tightening device that utilizes plasma energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production, thereby improving skin elasticity and firmness. It's particularly effective for noninvasive facial lifting, improving skin tone and texture, reducing fine lines, and tightening sagging skin.
Safety and Effectiveness: The non-invasive Jett Plasma Pen Medical is a safe and clinically proven option for dry eye
treatment. Backed by research and trials, it ensures efficacy without surgical risks.
