This does work it just takes time to get use to the settings and feeling when using it against your skin. I continue to use this and have seen an improvement.

I’ve had a large flesh coloured mole in the centre of my forehead for Aslong as I can remember it has always made me paranoid and I’ve always hid it with a fringe. Last year I got a procedure done using a pen that looked almost identical to this.it only took part of it away and was very costly I didn’t go back for further treatments as I was so disappointed . This pen took it away completely after 1 go. I am so pleased. I was aliitle hesitant when I saw the spark and I must say the smell is not nice and lingers for hours but it is amazing and I would recommend this to anyone. I went to highest setting of 9 and it did not hurt at all just a little heat.

The electric ion carbonation technique used in the Plasma Pen is so gentle and effective. It's the perfect way to remove blemishes without causing any damage.

The instruction leaflet included with this product is excellent and clearly set out with supporting photographs.

Much of the content deals with minimising the risk of injury or infection and dealing with pain.

May I respectfully suggest that a key instruction would be to test the pen on a banana blemishes using the coarse needle.

You will then see the spark that jumps from the needle. Watch for smoke and smell the burning as you gently touch the banana skin and withdraw to get another spark. You may consider the banana skin as your wart or skin tag. When the edible part of the banana appears you need to stop immediately to avoid burning part of what may be regarded as your own flesh!

A traditional method of dealing with larger warts, moles and skin tags was to tie a hair around them with the intent to disrupt the blood supply to the growth. You can now purchase devices that apply a silicone ring that will also cause the growths to fall off! Is there therefore a need to burn the growth down to skin level with consequent risk of infection or pain?

My problem was that I had fairy rings of large tags under both armpits with one or two moles. It was impossible for me to see and accurately aim the device at these myself. My partner kindly undertook the task.

We initially used setting five and then setting six on the larger growths. I did not feel any pain whilst the growth was burning and we stopped as soon as there was a stab of pain - perhaps indicating the skin had been reached. It has been easy to repeat the treatments and some growths have vanished and others much reduced in size and looking the worse for wear!

Hate to think what this would cost for a faster professional service and this modestly priced home treatment seems well worth a try.
