Please read this important safety notice about Fibroblast Plasma pens. We recommend everyone to take proper precautions and have a full understanding of how to safely and properly use Fibroblast Plasma pens.
Plasma pens are small handheld medical devices that focus electricity on the surface of the skin, which causes a controlled burn and spreads heat throughout the targeted area.
SkinDelux Plasma pen converts electrical energy into an electrostatic energy to create artificial nitrogen plasma. Plasma is an ionized gas consisting of positive ions and free electrons in proportions which enables it to conduct electricity. The Plasma pen device discharges precise flashes of plasma in millisecond bursts, triggering the body’s natural healing and anti-aging processes in the epidermal and dermal layers. Your body produces new collagen and elastin to improve skin texture and tone. This treatment is also known as Fibroblasting. Fibroblasts are the cells that produce collagen.
The Plasma pen can be used on the face, around the eyes, neck, around lip and mouth area, marionette lines, smile lines, forehead, jowls and jawline. It is important for anyone considering the Plasma pen treatment to carefully review the contraindications, aftercare instructions, risks and skin types that can be safely treated.
Please note that each person’s results may vary and SkinDelux is not liable for any improper or incorrect use of the plasma pen, nor does it offer any guarantee, or specific results. By using this device you expressly agree that it is at your own risk and that you have a full understanding of how to operate a Fibroblast Plasma pen safely on yourself or others. Use the product with caution. Before using a Plasma pen, make sure that the mole, freckle or skin tag can safely be removed.
If questions, concerns, doubts; before use, always consult with a GP or licensed professional dermatologist, physician or medical advisor for professional advice.
Is the Plasma pen treatment painful?
The treatment may be mildly to moderately uncomfortable depending on your pain tolerance and what area you are getting treated. Eyelid procedure (where the skin is at its thinnest) can be more painful for some. Use a numbing cream to reduce any discomfort.
Who is not a good candidate for the Plasma pen treatment?
Darker skin tones are not good candidates for this treatment due to the increased risk of hyperpigmentation, inflammation and possible scarring. Contraindications include: smokers, pregnant or breastfeeding, autoimmune disorders, blood thinners, cancer, chemo or radiation, gold-therapy, cataracts and serious skin disorders. Treatments on Fitzpatrick skin types 4-6 should be avoided.

Medical devices such as implanted pacemakers and defibrillators might contain sensors that respond to magnets and radios when in close contact. To avoid any potential interactions with these devices, keep your Fibroblast Plasma pen and accessories a safe distance away from your device (more than 6 inches / 15 cm apart or more than 12 inches / 30 cm apart if charging). Consult with your physician for specific guidelines.
What are the risks of the Plasma pen treatment?
The Plasma pen is a relatively safe treatment. However, it is always recommended to consult with licensed professional dermatologist, physician or medical advisor to understand the contraindications and risks before treatment.
Risks include:
- Swelling and bruising
- Scabbing and crusting
- Skin discoloration
- Scarring
Post Plasma pen treatment
Results are virtually immediate and last up to three years. For 5-14 days following your treatment, you will experience skin sensitivity, mild to moderate redness, swelling, skin crusting and flaking. Swelling usually begins the day after treatment and typically lasts for 5 days. The treated area must not be covered with any type of make-up, mascara, creams or any other products until completely healed. We recommend a cooling gel after treatment to relieve any itching or potential burn-alike effect. It is very important to wait until all the scabs will fall off on naturally.
Please be aware that the days indicated are average healing times but can be increased by other factors. Healing time and results may be negatively compromised by not following the aftercare protocol: no alcohol, no smoking and no picking/scrubbing. If your health is compromised in any way, this can also extend your healing time and negatively affect your results.
If you have any questions, concerns, doubts; before use, always consult with a GP or licensed professional dermatologist, physician or medical advisor for professional advice. If skin inflammation is detected, and gets worse, contact a medical professional as soon as possible. When using products sold on skindelux.com you agree to our terms of service.
