12 Week Update

I have waited the full 12 weeks and I have seen zero reduction in wrinkles, which is highly disappointing especially considering how traumatic the healing process has been. Everything I read on the internet and was told by the provider made me believe the hardest part would be waiting for the scabs to fall off in about a week, and then I'd wait for the tightening results at the end of the 12 weeks. I wish I knew that there was a possibility of these unsightly indents when the scabs fell off, so it's not only a one week wait of looking weird, but possibly months. I know some people need 2-3 treatments for results but I can't keep having crazy indented looking skin for months at a time. If you are going to get this procedure please be aware that this is a possibility, I wish I knew before I did it. I still have light indenting and although it is less noticeable and most people probably don't notice it, it's all I see when I look in the mirror and it has honestly made the wrinkles look worse. I'll get updated photos to share soon as well.

Update 1 Month after Scabs fell off
Intellectual553384February 11, 2022
I do think all of the things I am doing to help speed up the healing process have been helping. The divots are very shallow now and not nearly as noticeable. You can see some slight discoloration where some scabs were but not bad at all. I am finally feeling less self conscious over the healing process. One month down, two to go.

Looking much better than your initial pics! I would have been nerve wrecked as well. I hope you get great results. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much! It has been such a scary and slow moving process, I sure hope the results are worth it in the end!

Thanks for sharing! I had my undereyes done 12/28/22 so I'm about 9 weeks or so and I had a very similar experience. I still have the divets/uneven texture and when I went for the followup the idiot medical director tried to diagnose me with something else saying it wasn't even from the plasma pen. They have me doing glycolic acid and a peptide cream. In addition I've been trying argan oil, bio oil and silicone cream as well as L-lysine and Vit C. I tell myself it is improving but the progress is quite slow. I hope it heals for both of us! I'm thinking of going to see my dermatologist to see if there is anything else to do.

Oh my gosh I'm sorry to hear that you're having a similar experience! Have you noticed any skin tightening? I am disappointed that after all of this I don't even see an improvement in the tightness. Since I can still see the divots I feel like it looks worse. I can actually leave the house without makeup now so I do think it's getting better but I'm always scared that it will stop improving and this is the end result. Keeping my fingers crossed for both of us! Thanks for sharing! I am going to add in a glycolic acid treatment now too.

Try collagen gummies. I just bought these new gummies by a company called Pink, Simply Radiant multi for her. They were on sale but about $7 to $8 at the grocery store for a 30 day supply. I noticed my redness turning pink the next day!

If you can afford it the Lyma cold laser is fantastic, gentle but powerful and definitely improves sagging wrinkles and makes your skin behave as young again. I'm in Australia and they are made and invented England. I imported one. The import taxes were $600 and the laser which lasts 10 years was $4500 but it works big time. I'm 57 this year and it actually does work. Check it out. Healing

Honestly, because I’m going through the same thing with my under eyes and have been doing my research, the best option for you is to get some of your fat grafted to under your eyes. Go to a face specialist, a board certified surgeon who does faces and necks only. They are the best. Other than that you would be stuck using fillers that don’t last and please believe they do stretch out your skin even more and will leave the under part of your eyes looking saggier hanging downwards from falsely plumping your skin for months at a time. It is the same thing as losing weight too rapidly.

I didn't want to go the surgical route but the more I try nonsurgical approaches with bad results, I am leaning more towards this option.

My dots and discoloration were still showing but I think my collagen gummies are turning them pink and fading them. They do take awhile to disappear totally.
May 1, 2022
My discoloration isn't noticeable anymore but I still have some divots in the skin that I can see. Others tell me they're not noticeable but unfortunately it's all I can see when I look in the mirror.

Yeah I got my fibroblast done on March 6 and just 2 weeks ago I started noticing bags under my eyes, some days not as bad. I also haven’t had Botox since October so that could be it as well. I do notice a slight improvement in my skin and the lines by my mouth although they kind of came back not as bad though. So the lady told me I can have one touchup included for the price so I’m gonna go back over those lines and just leave my eyes alone. And probably do a little bit on my forehead again. I find that when my skin is plumped up and glowing especially during a certain time of the month that things look better so maybe just use those inexpensive facemasks from like the grocery store or TJ Maxx the gold masks and under eye patches. Sometimes those under eye patches can plump your under eyes up so much that it might still look like you have bags. Maybe ice them put cucumber on them. I also sleep on my face heavily cause I like to sleep on my side or stomach so if you’re a side or stomach sleeper it definitely doesn’t make things better. Perhaps a big body pillow to stop you from sleeping on your face would help if that’s one of the issues.

Indented Skin when Plasma Fibroblast Scabs Fell Off...be Aware That the Healing Isn't Quick or Simple
Intellectual553384January 31, 2022
I had plasma fibroblasting done on 1/3/22 on the thin, crepey skin under my eyes. I had a friend who went to this same provider and had amazing results. After some research it seemed fairly simple, I was the most worried about the look of the plasma scabs for the 7-10 days they would take to fall off. My understanding was that the skin underneath would be pink but fade over the next few weeks, and the full tightening results could be seen after 12 weeks. I was horrified when the scabs fell off to show an indent where every single scab was, as I didn't see this in ANY of the informational sites I went to online. After lots of googling I ran into "horror" stories of others that experienced this same thing. Now, I do understand that it will take approximately 12 weeks for the skin to cycle through and heal, but I wasn't aware of how exactly the skin would heal as this is the first time I've had anything like this done before. It seems like for the most part, people who have had these indents/divots, they did fill in over time. IF this is in fact a normal part of healing, it would be VERY beneficial to have known about this ahead of time. Once the scabs fell off I contacted the treatment provider who reassured me that it was normal and it would take weeks or months to heal. Still not convinced (as I was an anxious mess at this point worried that I had disfigured my skin permanently), I had an online appointment with a dermatologist who told me "This doesn't look concerning - Once the crusts fall off many people are left with this pockmarked appearance for a few weeks, continue everything you are doing and it should clear in 4-6 weeks." I have been using an LED Red light almost daily, using Factor Five Serum morning and night, taking Collagen, Vitamin C, Zinc, L-Lysine, and added in the Contractubex Scar cream that this dermatologist recommended 3 times a day, plus using SPF daily. Today is week 4 since I have had the procedure done so it is too soon to tell if it has been worth it or not. I am holding onto hope that by 12 weeks these indents will be filled in and that the skin will be tighter. It would have been very helpful to see more information about how stressful the healing process would be beforehand.

I am 8 weeks post fibroblast and still have the indentations. It is devastating.
February 5, 2022
It is such a scary healing process! Have your indents improved at all? Mine are improving slightly each week so even though I am impatient I do believe that they will fill in over time (*fingers crossed*)
February 5, 2022
oh no 8 MONTHS! How devastating! What part of your face did you have the treatment done on?
February 5, 2022
I would say they are better than at a month or so but the skin looks like I’ve had acne.
April 6, 2023
Oh I broke out after it too and now I look like I have huge poors bc of the tiny holes

Hi, did dents fuelle go away? I am at day 5 and scrabs fell off and they are very marked.

Try taking bromelain. Woundvite for $43 on Amazon helped me with my surgery scars immensely. I think it would help regenerate your eye area a lot quicker.
February 7, 2022
Thank you so much for the suggestion! I just ordered it and I'm looking forward to seeing if it helps speed things up!
February 28, 2022
Good! Keep me updated. I believe it helped my mood and energy as well due to so many vitamins in it.

I am 65 years old and had it done to my neck. I was completely healed (red gone and no indents) in about 3 weeks. My neck was crepey and saggy and now it is 80% firm. Amazing! The only complaint is that it was an excruciatingly painful procedure. I came close to having the technician stop!
February 21, 2022
I agree that it was more painful than I expected! I'm so glad to hear that you had such great results!
October 16, 2025
Hi, when did dents fully go away? I am at day 5 on my neck and they are very marked.
March 28, 2022
Hi, can I ask if you had indents at all in your first couple of weeks? I am about five days after dots fallen off and now paranoid about the indents. I got this done for a big event I want to look my best for in May. The technician said there is only a week down time and mentioned nothing about a 12 week healing period, thought I’d had it done in plenty of time and now I’m worried
March 28, 2022
Today is 11 weeks since the dots fell off for me and I can still see some indents when I look closely and don’t have makeup on, but nobody else can tell. The first month they were very noticeable, by the second month I felt much better once I had makeup on. Do you have indents now after your scabs fell off? I think all the things I mentioned using has helped my skin heal faster even though it’s been a frustrating process. Good luck!!!
April 6, 2023
Same here they told me 1 week! I keep asking how long until these red divets go away and they won’t say.
