Fibroblast Plasma Pen: My stretch marks appear to look so much worse than they did before

UPDATED FROM vsalic
12 days post

Day 13-Dots fell off

$500
All of the scabs have fallen off, either by themselves or by being rubbed off from wearing jeans/leggings. I’m left with very red/pink dots all over my belly. Technician said it was normal and that I should put vitamin E on it. I haven’t noticed any tightening of the skin or any other improvements from the treatment.

Hello, how is the healing going?
I am really interested in doing this on my stretch marks. How are you??
12 days post treatment is not enough time to see results. It takes the skin at least 28 days for the cells to completely turn over, which is when you begin seeing noticeable results. However, improvement continues and best results are typically seen at 8-12 weeks.
I am a little over 3 months out now, I still have the dots from each fibro blast, they went from red to now being brown/purple. This completely ruined my skin. The stretch marks use to be white, now they are pinkish purple and so noticeable.
Hi, this is exactly what happened to me and my experience with fibroblasting my stretch marks. It has been a little over 2 months since I had my fibro blast done and I absolutely regret it! I feel like my stretch marks are way more noticeable now
It’s actually healing! Give yourself sometime to heal

Fibroblast Plasma Pen

I wanted to tighten my skin and maybe eliminate some small stretch marks on my stomach after having 3 babies so I decided to give the plasma pen a try. I got my treatment done 11 days ago and I still have scabs that don’t look like they are coming off anytime soon. My stretch marks appear to look so much worse than they did before, they use to somewhat blend in with my skin and now they look deeper and pink/red in color. There is no improvement whatsoever. I am so devastated by the results. The technician says it is all normal but I’ve never seen anyone with results even close to mine. I would not recommend this treatment to anyone. The downtime is not what they say it is and there is no results at all.

Has the redness improved?
No the redness is still there and no it looks purplish
Complete results won't show til after 8 weeks I've heard
The dots are still there after 3 months. Now they are purple/brown. It's hyperpigmentation I think. My stretch marks are much more noticeable now. Before they were white and now they are purple/pink. No difference in skin elasticity or any improvement, I regret doing this so bad!!! Ruined my skin
Update: it's been months now and the dots are starting to fade but my stretch marks still look more noticeable now than before. Still not a very good decision, would not recommend this procedure!
