Is the plasma pen (fibroblast) a good option for maintenance between facelifts?

mary457Dec 4, 2019
I'm 3 years post facelift and I love the results but do notice some little lines I'd like to take care of that can't be helped with fillers or botox. Is plasma pen just a gimmick or does it actually work?? I'm specifically interested in some pucker lines above my lips and mild undereye bags. I had ultherapy before but had zero results. Also not a fraxel candidate.

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.
