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.
No the plasma pen, lasers, microneedling cannot harm fillers. I would suggest at home peels and rollers between your plasma pen and laser treatments (see link). Best, Dr. Emer.
Dear Niki, Thank you for your inquiry. Fibroblast Plasma Pen is definitely not an option for you. You might want to seek the advice of a Board Certified Dermatologist in your area regarding other treatment option suitable for you.Best of luck !
Plasma pen doesnt cause issues if done well we typically have people combine it with lasers like halo and micro needling PRP. before or after an enlighten peel helps to prevent pigmentation and scarring. Best, Dr. Emer.
