When can I use my old skin products after Plasma Pen?

Plasma MD is the only FDA approved pen on the market. You should have received post treatment care products consisting of a growth serum that you use until gone and a sunscreen to use after. You should always avoid the sun as much as possible and wear a good sunscreen.
My surgery date is booked for Dec 17th. Will I have enough time to recover?

I’m not sure what type of surgery you are anticipating by your question. If you are referring to the recovery time for Plasma pen, you should give yourself 2 weeks before any major events. Do your research and make sure your provider is using Plasma MD, as there are many knock offs that are not truly plasma pens.
How long will it take to see results from PlasmaMD?

Everyone progresses and heals differently. It also depends on the area being treated. The majority of my clients have seen improvement after the dots fall off. Clients having their eyes done feel immediate tightening. The good news is you continue to have improvement for 3 months and sometimes longer!
Would Plasma Fibroblast work for monolids? Not looking for a dramatic difference.

Plasma MD works great on the eyelids. It is noninvasive and can be used instead of surgery. Choose your provider carefully as only Plasma MD is FDA approved. There are knock offs out there that create electrical burns instead of a plasma arc. The Plasma MD stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin which tighten the skin. You never look artificial.
Why can’t I find Plasma BT (Plasma Pen / Fibroblast) in the United States?

Plasma MD is available in the US and is the only FDA approved pen on the market. Choose your provider carefully as there are knockoffs out there!
How long should you wait to have fibroblast treatment after you have had Botox and dermal fillers?
Dr. Carstensen

You should wait at least 3 months after Botox and fillers before having Plasma MD. Choose your provider carefully as only Plasma MD is FDA approved.
Can a Plasma Pen be used for eyelids on African Americans?

Your skin would need to be evaluated for your Fitzpatrick skin type. Only types 1, 2, and 3 can be treated with Plasma MD. It does work well on the eye area. Choose your provider carefully. Only Plasma MD is FDA approved.
