  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

Plasma pen one month after

A month has passed and I am now out of the ‘traumatic’ healing process; I have been for the last 2 weeks actually. The dark marks have faded but without make up they are still visible. Skin looks a little bit more firm but way way far from the photos you see on Internet. I would say that to achieve a visible result I would need to do the procedure at least another 3 times which is completely out of the question! Considering downtime (2 weeks completely off social and work!!!) and cost it is much better to do a surgery. Another issue is if you are a sun lover forget about going under the sun for at least 2 months. If I had to be in the sun I would have to cover my skin with layers of thick white cream! I didn’t have the same sensation when I had the CO2 laser where the skin repairs much faster. For the scars it seems I don’t have any but I might have to do some RF sessions or another CO2 to get rid of dots and dark shaded skin which I didn’t have before. Still not worth it for me!

For your information the machine use was called Plasma IQ, a plasma devise, not electronic as someone commented

Plasma Pen day 11

Pigmentation and scars very visible even with make up. I went to see the doctor who said he cannot tell if the scars will remain (right now it looks like I had acne!)... and he gave me a cream for pigmentation to use for a month. I cannot believe I have completely spoiled my face with this procedure! Now I have to spend a fortune to fix it! I warn anyone to think twice before doing this procedure, I thought my skin would react well as I have done CO2 before with good results but this is too unpredictable. No wonder why it has been forbidden in Canada!
