Thank you so much for the info. I probably should start with removing the tag first to see how it works then move onto the cosmetic touch up. I must have burned the vein a bit as u suspected. I was trying to cut off the part it was getting difficult to remove by tying haha.That tip should be fine. The burning is how the plasma pen works. It shoots out a bolt of very high voltage from the tip, like lightening.
If the plasma pen is on high enough you should see a blue arc between the tip of the pen and your skin. This is the very high voltage electricity arcing between the tip and your skin. The high voltage causing the air molecules to break down. Basically this break down is stripping the electrons away from the atoms in the air, allowing electricity to conduct, and forming a plasma. Hence the name plasma pen.
This plasma is obviously very hot and it burns away the skin that you want to remove. There should be no bleeding as the plasma cauterises the skin it burns away.
You do not need to press hard at all with the pen. In fact you shouldn't need to press into the skin, with the sharp tip, at all as it's the hot plasma that does all the work. Maybe you need to turn the pen up?
The only other thing that could cause bleeding is if you burned a hole into a vein.
Basically you burn away the skin that you want gone.
Im so grateful we can get so much support here I would be clueless otherwise.
Oh and I forgot to ask about one more thing. Would u do it while hard or flaccid? My first attempt was done while soft but it was kinda awkward stretching some part of skin to target the area I wanted to work on. So I’m curious how you guys normally go about it.
Again thanks to MancmanMatt
