Damage cause by plasma pen for fine lines under eyes

Oh man, I'm experiencing this right now. I'm only 3 weeks out but my under eyes are so dark and the dots are crystal clear around my mouth. Even with numbing cream, the procedure was incredibly painful. I'm wondering if she actually touched my skin with the pen, like you mentioned. I'm hopefully it will eventually get better with proper care and products but what a waste of time and money. I see absolutely no change in the fine lines under and around my eyes. The only slight improvement is the lip flip. My lips look more full but there are dots all around it.

Oh no-- I'm so sorry your are experiencing this.. ugh... I know the nightmare you are in but keep positive that it will go away in time... Mine took a long time but with the help of great products and time it went away. Fingers crossed for you.. I know how scary and upsetting it is to go through.

Thank you! No not at all!! But there is a correct technique and placement of the dots to make it successful and mine was not done correctly. Not sure if it had been, if I would have noticed results.

Thank you all for posting this.

I'm sorry for the bad experience you both have endured!!! I had my eyelids done and wow! I am impressed. I can't wait to do the 2nd round. Did you get numbing cream before the procedure began? Mine was pretty quick & felt a tad uncomfortable but wasn't painful at all. Lexerella, try using Vitamin K (sanitas is a good brand) or Arnica cream. I would certainly go back to the office that did the treatment & show them your outcome. I know you will heal it'll just be longer than expected. If it makes you feel any better, I still have redness, more like a light pink color from May 11 and I have olive skin.

Are you able to share what products were recommended? Thanks :)

sure! She recommended a growth factor serum. I used either Factor 5 or NeoGenesis Recovery. These are expensive but a little goes a long way. Also Image Vital C anti aging serum and Image Matte Moisturizer SPF 32 . I also use a gentle cleanser by NeoGenesis

You look beautiful!! I had the procedure done and it worked very well but I’m glad that I saw this post and thank you again for your help!

Also I just saw you are using image. This is the collagen I’m using; you may want to try it; drinking one a day while healing really Amps up your collagen production. It’s Yana Collagen by Image .

Thank you so much! So glad your treatment went well.!! I was so excited to get mine done and never expected this nightmare to happen, but am glad the worst is over. Thank you for the advice about the collagen-- I haven't heard of that, but am definitely going to check it out! :)

What did your dermatologist have to say?

She was amazed at how much it's healed from the initial damage. ( When I showed her the pictures I have from the first few weeks, she said she would have cried if it had been done to her.) It really was horrific. She was pleased with the healing and told me to continue with the products I've been using and not to do any "treatments" on that area.

I just had this procedure done and I’m on Day 6 post-procedure. I had my upper and lower lids treated and also a section above each brow to create a “lift”. The little scabs are starting to fall off and to my horror I’m left with a fairly significant indentation in every plasma pen spot. The best description I can think of is my skin looks like the surface of a golf ball with all the little indentations. Did you experience this or hear of this? Any advice or suggestions or secondary treatment recommendations are welcome! I’m currently using Factor V Growth Serum daily. I’m just beside myself with the way my skin looks, it’s terrible!
