Read this before you buy

A plasma spot pen, described plainly.

This is a small battery-powered pen with a fine metal tip. When you hold the OUT button, it makes a tiny electrical spark jump from the tip to the skin, and that spark burns a pinpoint of tissue. It has three output levels, USB charging and two automatic cut-offs. It is not a laser, and it contains no laser or light source of any kind.

Regulatory status

What the FDA says about pens like this one.

In the United States, the FDA regulates spark-type "plasma pens" as Class II medical devices under 21 CFR 878.4400, product code QVJ, "low power electrosurgical devices for skin lesion destruction". Every plasma pen the FDA has cleared in that category is cleared for prescription use only, meaning use by or on the order of a licensed practitioner.

This unit is not one of those cleared devices, and chigous holds no FDA clearance for it. We therefore do not claim that it removes, treats or fades any mark, spot, lesion or tattoo, and we do not claim that it is safe for home use. Where an earlier version of this page said otherwise, that wording has been removed. Customer reviews shown on this page are individual opinions and are not claims made by chigous.

Moles and changing spots

Never burn off a spot a doctor has not looked at.

Melanoma and other skin cancers can look like an ordinary mole, freckle or dark spot. Destroying one at home removes the tissue a doctor would need to diagnose it and can delay treatment. Any spot that is new, changing, itching, bleeding, raised or irregular in color or border needs a dermatologist, not a device.

Risks you should know about

What spark pens can do to skin.

  • Burns and scarring. The spark works by burning tissue. Too much output, too long a contact or the wrong spot can leave a burn, a pitted or raised scar, or an infection.
  • Permanent color change. Darker or lighter patches can follow the burn and may not fade. The risk is higher on medium and deeper skin tones.
  • Eyes and face. Never use near the eyes or on eyelids.
  • Who should not use it. Anyone with a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, anyone who is pregnant, and anyone with a skin condition, a bleeding disorder or slow-healing skin should not use a device like this.
  • Talk to a professional first. A licensed clinician can tell you whether a device like this is appropriate for you at all. This page cannot.
