Is it safe to use Plasma Pen while pregnant?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Plasma pen treatment is not recommended for pregnant women due to the inherent risk of infection which can be harmful to the baby. It is safest to wait until after the pregnancy to receive plasma pen.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

The actual plasma pen, since it is heat, would be safe to use, but the topical numbing cream would need to be cleared by your ob/gyn physician.

Kristen B. Williams, MD, MPH · Answer

Plasma Pen, as with all aesthetic treatments, are contraindicated during pregnancy. There are no studies to indicate the safety to the growing fetus and therefore any responsible provider will not perform procedures on a pregnant patient.
