I have metal plates and pins in my face. Can I still get Plasma Pen treatment?

Adventurous662548Oct 6, 2021
I fractured my cheekbone/zygoma, nose, part of the eye socket and maxilla (right side of face only) in an accident almost four years ago. After reconstructive surgery I was left with four metal plates (titanium) and 17 pins in my face. Can I still get beauty treatments such as plasma pen, microneedling, laser/IPL, chemical peels and so on? I have already tried botox and fillers and had no problems/issues after those treatments.

If the second photo is your current photo, you need to wait, probably at least 3 months. Otherwise, you could have some permanent discoloration in the area treated and even scarring.

I would avoid plasma pen in someone with eczema, especially in the flare up areas. Your skin is lacking an enzyme and may not react in the normal fashion.

For fuller lips, you need filler. Plasma pen's results will only be temporary at best and not last as long as filler.
