The SKINDELÚX Fibroblast Plasma Pen is a handheld plasma device used to support skin tightening and rejuvenation through fibroblast stimulation. It's designed for use on fine lines, crow's feet, frown lines, neck lines, and minor surface blemishes, with 9 adjustable intensity levels for different treatment areas.
How do I set up the device for the first time?
Charge the Plasma Pen for 3-4 hours before first use — the battery is full when all four bars are lit. To maintain battery life during storage, recharge it every two months, and always recharge once only one bar remains. Fine needles are used with the needle guard cover for precise work; coarse needles insert directly into the pen head for broader treatment.
How do I operate the pen?
- Power on/off: Long-press the ON/OFF button for about 2 seconds.
- Power levels: 9 adjustable levels — use the up/down shift buttons, and always start on a lower level, increasing only if needed.
- Treatment mode: Press and hold the OUT button to begin; the display flashes to confirm it's working. Release to stop.
- LED light: A single press of the Power button toggles the built-in LED on and off while the device is powered on.
What should I do before every treatment?
Thoroughly disinfect both the needle and the treatment area before use. Start at a lower intensity level and increase gradually as needed. For sensitive areas like the eyelids, a numbing cream can reduce discomfort. If you're trying the pen for the first time, practicing on a piece of fruit (like an apple) is a useful way to get a feel for the device before using it on skin.
Important: cosmetic use only — not for suspicious moles
This device is intended for cosmetic use on minor surface blemishes as part of a skincare routine. It is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or remove moles — especially any mole that is new, changing in size, shape, or color, itchy, or bleeding, since changing moles can be an early sign of skin cancer. Always have a licensed dermatologist evaluate any mole, lesion, or skin change before considering any at-home cosmetic tool.
This treatment carries a higher risk of hyperpigmentation, inflammation, and scarring on darker skin tones, and should be avoided in those cases. It is also not recommended for anyone who smokes, is pregnant or breastfeeding, has an autoimmune disorder, is on blood thinners, has a history of cancer, chemo, or radiation treatment, has had gold therapy, has cataracts, or has a serious skin disorder — consult a doctor first if any of these apply to you. If you have an implanted pacemaker or defibrillator, keep the pen and accessories at least 6 inches away during use (12 inches while charging), and check with your physician for specific guidance.
What should I expect immediately after treatment?
A stinging sensation for roughly 30-60 minutes is normal — a cooling gel can help. If the area swells, use an ice pack wrapped in a clean cloth (never apply ice directly to skin), and avoid anti-inflammatory medications like aspirin or ibuprofen if possible. For facial or neck treatments, sleeping with your head elevated helps reduce swelling. Don't cleanse the treated area until the next day, avoid exercise or heat/steam/sweat exposure for 48 hours, and keep the area free of makeup, sunblock, or other products until it's fully healed.
How does the skin heal over the following days?
Small crusts form on the treated area and are typically visible for 7-10 days. Redness, tightness, swelling, and occasional light weeping are normal during this time. Once scabs fall off (around day 7), broad-spectrum SPF 50+ should be applied for at least 3 months afterward, since healing skin is especially vulnerable to UV damage and hyperpigmentation. Avoid picking at crusts — this can cause scarring — and avoid actives like glycolic, salicylic, or retinoic acid for at least 21 days. Full results typically take 8-12 weeks to develop.
What are the possible risks?
As with most skin treatments, temporary side effects are possible: swelling, bruising, scabbing, skin discoloration, and — in some cases — scarring. Results are generally long-lasting, but individual healing and outcomes vary, and following aftercare closely (no alcohol, no smoking, no picking) supports better healing. If you have any doubts before treatment, or if irritation worsens afterward, consult a licensed dermatologist or physician.
FAQ
- Is the treatment painful?
- Most people find it mildly to moderately uncomfortable, depending on pain tolerance and treatment area — the eyelid area tends to be more sensitive since the skin is thinnest there. A numbing cream can help.
- How long do results last?
- Results build gradually over 8-12 weeks and can last a long time with proper skin care, though individual results vary based on skin type and aftercare.
- Can I use this device on a mole?
- No — any mole should be evaluated by a licensed dermatologist first. This device is designed for minor cosmetic surface work, not for diagnosed skin lesions.
- Who shouldn't use this device?
- People with darker skin tones (due to higher hyperpigmentation and scarring risk), smokers, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and anyone with autoimmune disorders, on blood thinners, with a cancer history, or with a serious skin disorder should avoid this treatment or consult a doctor first.
