Ocura Plasma Pen Visual User Guide
Ocura Plasma Pen · Visual User Guide
How your plasma pen works
The Ocura Plasma Pen is a handheld at-home device. It creates a tiny electrical arc between the needle tip and your skin. The tip never touches you. That arc ionizes the air into plasma, the fourth state of matter, and the controlled heat vaporizes the surface tissue in a process called sublimation. No cutting. No bleeding. Just a tiny dry crust that lifts off as your skin heals underneath.
| No-contact | The tip stays 1 to 2 mm above your skin. |
| 9 power levels | From delicate face work to thicker body lesions. |
| Multiple tips | Fine for precision. Coarse for larger spots. |
| Rechargeable | USB charging. About 5+ hours per charge. |
| Built-in screen | Shows your current power level and battery. |
What's in your box
The pen treats the spot. The full system carries you through every step after it: numbing, healing, and protecting the new skin.
The Needle Tips
Fine tip vs. coarse tip
Your pen comes with two classes of needle tips. They screw on and off the same device. Each one is sterile and single-use. Match the tip to the spot you are treating.
For precision work
A pinpoint arc for small, delicate, or close-quarters spots.
Best for
- Cherry angiomas (small red dots)
- Small skin tags
- Milia (white bumps)
- Individual flat age spots
- Fine-line touch-ups on the face
For larger areas
A wider arc footprint for bigger, raised, or thicker spots.
Best for
- Larger or fleshy skin tags
- Raised age spots and seborrheic keratoses
- Surface-level moles (flat or slightly raised only)
- Warts on hands and feet
The 9 Power Levels
Pick the right setting
When in doubt, start one level lower than you think and step up. Plasma damage compounds. You can always re-pass. You cannot un-burn.
Delicate areas. Face, eyelids, around the eyes, neck, décolletage. Fine-line touch-ups. Milia.
Standard body work. Most skin tags. Cherry angiomas. Flat or lightly raised age spots.
Larger moles. Thicker, keratotic spots. Warts on hands and feet. Tougher skin on the body.
Your Technique, at a Glance
Three things to get right
1. HOVER, DO NOT TOUCH
The tip stays just above the skin. The plasma arc does the work.
2. SPACE YOUR DOTS
Leave a hair of untreated skin between each tap.
3. HOLD AT 90°
Brief taps. Lift the pen between each one. Never press down.
Blemish-by-Blemish Guide
Which tip, which level, what to do
Treat one spot per session at first until you know how your skin responds. Always patch-test before working on your face.
| Blemish | Tip | Power | Sessions | Heal | Technique |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cherry angioma | Fine | 4-6 | 1 | 7-10 days | One quick arc to the center. Short taps. Tiny dry crust, not a deep burn. |
| Skin tag (small) | Fine | 4-6 | 1 | 5-10 days | Arc the base of the stalk. The tag dries up and falls off. |
| Skin tag (fleshy) | Coarse | 5-7 | 1-2 | 10-14 days | Cover the full base in a dotted pattern. May need a second session. |
| Flat age / sun spot | Fine | 3-5 | 1 | 7-14 days | Closely spaced micro-dots across the lesion. No overlap. Light touch. |
| Raised age spot / SK | Coarse | 5-7 | 1-2 | 10-14 days | Stipple the surface to lift the keratotic cap. Re-pass after healing. |
| Mole (surface) | Coarse | 6-8 | 1-2 | 10-14 days | Flat or slightly raised only. Stipple to flatten. Heal fully before re-treatment. |
| Milia | Fine | 2-4 | 1 | 3-7 days | One arc to open the cap. Do not gouge. Lowest setting that works. |
| Wart (hands, feet) | Coarse | 7-9 | 2-4 | 14-21 days | Stipple across the surface. Warts are viral and stubborn. Expect multiple sessions. |
| Fine lines (face) | Fine | 1-3 | 1-3 | 7-14 days | Dotted grid across the area. Face only, with numbing cream and extra caution. |
Do not treat at home: any mole that has changed in color, shape, or size, or that bleeds or itches, must be seen by a dermatologist first. The plasma pen does not diagnose skin conditions. Also avoid deep or embedded moles, active acne, open wounds, inflamed skin, sunburned or freshly tanned skin, and any suspicious lesion.
Your Treatment, Step by Step
Ten steps from prep to aftercare
Patch test first. Lowest power, fine tip, inside of your forearm. Wait 48 hours and check for any reaction before treating anywhere else.
Cleanse and dry. Wash with a gentle cleanser and pat fully dry. The skin must be oil-free. Plasma arcs scatter on moisture.
Numb the area. Apply the included numbing cream, cover with a small patch, and wait twenty to thirty minutes.
Wipe and re-dry. Remove the numbing cream completely with a clean tissue. Confirm the skin is dry before powering on.
Set up the pen. Fully charged, correct tip installed, lowest reasonable power level.
Hold 1 to 2 mm above the skin. Keep the pen at 90 degrees. You should never feel the tip touch you. Brief taps, not drags.
Tap, see the spark, move on. A small spark forms a tiny dry crust. Lift the pen between taps. Do not hover or hold.
Stipple, do not overlap. Leave a hair of untreated skin between dots. Stop the moment the lesion is uniformly crusted.
Apply aftercare cream. Cleanly apply the included aftercare cream over the treated area.
Cover with a healing patch for the first 24 hours. Then follow the aftercare timeline below.
Aftercare
What to expect over two weeks
Healing is where most of the result happens. Treat the scab as a shield. Leave it alone. Keep it clean. Keep it out of the sun.
- Keep the area clean and dry.
- Apply aftercare cream morning and night.
- Wear SPF on the spot for at least six weeks.
- Let the scab fall off on its own.
- Don't pick or scratch the scab.
- Don't put makeup over an open scab.
- Don't soak in long showers or pools.
- Don't tan or expose the area to direct sun.
Five Mistakes to Avoid
The errors that cause most issues
Skipping the patch test.
You find out you reacted strongly on the most visible spot of your face.
Fix. Every new area gets a 48 hour patch test on the inside of your forearm at the lowest power first.
Overlapping the dots.
Too much energy in one spot. The crust is too deep. Risk of a pale or pink mark.
Fix. Stipple with a hair of untreated skin between taps. If a spot needs more, heal fully, then re-pass.
Holding the arc instead of tapping.
Heat builds up and cooks deeper than the surface lesion. Recovery takes longer.
Fix. Think typewriter, not paintbrush. Tap, see the spark, lift. Brief contact only.
Picking the scab.
You remove the shield before the new skin is ready. The single biggest cause of marks.
Fix. Hands off. It falls off on its own in 7 to 14 days. Keep aftercare cream and a patch on it.
Skipping SPF after the scab falls off.
Fresh skin is extra sensitive to UV. Without SPF you get hyperpigmentation, the mark you were removing.
Fix. SPF 30+ on the spot every single day for at least six weeks. Indoors near windows counts.
Safety, FAQ & Support
Before you press start
Do not use the pen if you are pregnant or breastfeeding; have a pacemaker or implanted electronic device; have an active skin infection in the area; are prone to keloid scarring; have taken isotretinoin (Accutane, Roaccutane) in the last 6 months; your skin is sunburned or freshly tanned; or the spot is bleeding, growing, itching, or has changed recently.
| Does it hurt? | Most people describe a tiny zap, like a static shock. The numbing cream takes the edge off on sensitive areas. |
| Will it scar? | Follow the technique and aftercare and the spot heals to fresh skin. Overlapping dots, picking the scab, and skipping SPF are the main causes of marks. |
| How long for results? | The scab forms right away, falls off in 7 to 14 days, and the color evens out over 4 to 6 weeks. |
| Can I treat my face? | Yes, on low power with a fine tip, after numbing, and after a patch test. Avoid the eyelid margin and any active breakout. |
| Same spot twice? | Yes, but only after the area has fully healed. Never re-treat in the same session. |
