Plasma Perfection

Lift, Tighten, and Smooth Delicate Skin Without Surgery

Bellasee™ offers Subnovii Plasma Pen, which is a next-generation plasma treatment designed for precise tightening of the eyelids, under-eyes, lip lines, and fine wrinkles.

What Is the Subnovii Plasma Pen?

Subnovii is an FDA-cleared, low-frequency plasma device that delivers surgical-like tightening with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue.

It works by creating controlled micro-injuries on the surface of the skin, activating fibroblasts to stimulate new collagen and elastin.

This treatment is ideal for thin, crepey, or delicate areas that are traditionally difficult to treat with lasers or microneedling — including the upper eyelids, under-eyes, and fine lines around the mouth.

At Bellasee Beauty & Wellness, we use the Cartessa Subnovii, recognized for its precision, safety, and superior healing outcomes.

What Subnovii Treats

Subnovii effectively improves:

Upper eyelid hooding
Under-eye wrinkles and laxity
Crow’s feet
Fine lines around the mouth (“smoker’s lines”)
Forehead lines
Localized skin laxity
Crepey or thin skin
Acne scars
Small pigment or texture irregularities
Neck lines and minor sagging

The Science Behind Plasma Tightening

Subnovii uses low-frequency plasma energy to tighten skin and stimulate long-term remodeling:

Plasma Microdots
A precise plasma arc creates tiny microdots on the skin surface.
Instant Tightening Response
These micro-injuries cause an immediate contraction of the tissue.
Fibroblast Activation
Beneath the skin, fibroblasts are triggered to rebuild collagen and elastin.
Progressive Improvement
Results continue to improve over 3–6 months.

This technique allows for precise sculpting, especially around the eyes and mouth.

A More Advanced Plasma Device

Subnovii stands out from traditional plasma pens:

Uses low-frequency plasma for safer, controlled energy
Minimal thermal spread to surrounding skin
Faster recovery compared to older plasma technologies
Excellent for thin or crepey skin
Allows detailed precision for eyelids, lips, and small areas
A powerful non-surgical solution when lasers are not ideal

Where Subnovii Works Best

Upper eyelids
Lower eyelids
Crow’s feet
Lip lines
Nasolabial folds
Marionette lines
Forehead and frown lines
Neck lines
Small areas of crepey body skin
Localized acne scars or texture irregularities

What to Expect During & After Your Appointment

During Your Appointment

Consultation and customized treatment mapping
Topical numbing for comfort
30–45 minute treatment time
Tiny carbon microdots appear where the plasma arc touches the skin
These dots naturally slough off over 5–10 days

Healing Expectations

Carbon crusts last 5–10 days
Mild swelling is common, especially around the eyes (2–4 days)
Pinkness may last several weeks
Makeup can be safely applied once crusts fall away
Avoid sun exposure, heat, and strenuous activity until fully healed

Note: Subnovii has more downtime compared to microneedling or laser toning, but offers significant tightening for small, delicate areas.

Recommended Treatment Plan

Most patients achieve great results with:

One treatment
For deeper lines or moderate laxity: 1–2 sessions spaced 3+ months apart
Annual maintenance for aging prevention
Combination options for enhanced results:
- Virtue RF Microneedling
- CoolPeel CO₂ Laser
- PRP
- Medical-grade skincare
- RF skin tightening in surrounding areas

Those unable to accept the 5–10 days of downtime

(We provide pretreatment protocols for higher-risk skin types.)

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do Subnovii results last?

Results are long-lasting, typically 1–3 years depending on aging, skincare, and sun exposure.

Is the treatment painful?

Topical numbing makes the treatment comfortable. Some areas (like the eyelids) may feel warm or “zingy.”

When will I see results?

You’ll see tightening immediately, with collagen remodeling continuing for 3–6 months.

Can Subnovii replace surgery?

It can significantly tighten mild to moderate laxity but is not a replacement for surgical or laser eyelid blepharoplasty. It is, however, a powerful non-surgical alternative.
