Use the product with caution.
How Plasma Pens Work
Plasma pens of all kinds are small handheld devices that focus electricity on the surface of the skin, causing a controlled burn and spreading heat throughout the targeted area.
A plasma pen converts electrical energy into electrostatic energy to create artificial nitrogen plasma. Plasma is an ionized gas consisting of positive ions and free electrons in proportions that enable it to conduct electricity. The Plasma Pen device discharges precise flashes of plasma in millisecond bursts, triggering the body’s natural healing and anti-aging processes in the epidermal and dermal layers. Your body then starts producing new collagen and elastin to improve skin texture and tone. This treatment is also known as Fibroblasting. Fibroblasts are the cells that produce collagen.
Areas for Treatment
A plasma pen can be used on the face, around the eyes, neck, around the lip and mouth area, marionette lines, smile lines, forehead, jowls, and jawline. It is important for anyone considering the Plasma Pen treatment to carefully review the contraindications, aftercare instructions, risks, and skin types that can be safely treated.
Precautions Before Use
Before using a plasma pen, make sure that the mole, freckle, or skin tag can safely be removed. Any suspicious moles, skin tags, or other blemishes that look irregular, crusted, or discolored should not have any procedure performed. Always consult with a licensed dermatologist, physician, or medical advisor first.
In general, if you have questions, concerns, or doubts, always consult with a GP or licensed professional dermatologist, physician, or medical advisor for professional advice.
Our products are meant to be administered by professionals. By using this device, you expressly agree that it is at your own risk and that you have a full understanding of how to operate a fibroblast plasma pen safely on yourself. Use the product with caution. We are not responsible for any negative inflictions that may arise after administering products by yourself.
Medical devices such as implanted pacemakers and defibrillators might contain sensors that respond to magnets and radios when in close contact. To avoid potential interactions with these devices, keep your Fibroblast Plasma Pen and accessories a safe distance away (more than 6 inches / 15 cm apart, or more than 12 inches / 30 cm apart if charging). Consult with your physician for specific guidelines.
Is the Plasma Pen Treatment Painful?
The treatment may be mildly to moderately uncomfortable depending on your pain tolerance and the area being treated. Eyelid procedures (where the skin is thinnest) can be more painful for some. Use a numbing cream to reduce any discomfort; we recommend any numbing cream with Lidocaine 5%.
Who is Not a Good Candidate for the Plasma Pen Treatment?
Darker skin tones are not good candidates for this treatment due to the increased risk of hyperpigmentation, inflammation, and possible scarring.
Contraindications:
- Smokers

Risks of the Plasma Pen Treatment
The Plasma Pen is a relatively safe treatment. However, no procedure is without risks. Always consult with a licensed professional dermatologist, physician, or medical advisor to understand the contraindications and risks before treatment.
Risks Include:
- Swelling and bruising
- Scabbing and crusting
- Skin discoloration
- Scarring
Post Plasma Pen Treatment
Results are virtually immediate and last up to three years. For 5-14 days following your treatment, you may experience:
- Skin sensitivity
- Mild to moderate redness
- Swelling
- Skin crusting and flaking
Swelling usually begins the day after treatment and typically lasts for five days. The treated area must not be covered with makeup, mascara, creams, or other products until completely healed. We recommend a cooling gel after treatment to relieve any itching or burn-like effects. It is crucial to wait until all scabs fall off naturally.
Important Aftercare Protocol:
- Avoid alcohol and smoking.
- Do not pick or scrub the treated area.
Healing time and results may be negatively impacted by not following the aftercare protocol. If your health is compromised, healing time can extend and results may be affected.
If you notice skin inflammation that worsens, contact a medical professional immediately.
