Using a PlasmaPen device, it’s entirely possible to perform a wide range of cosmetic treatments in a non-surgical and non-invasive way. This means less recovery time, less downtime and fewer side effects. One of the main uses of PlasmaPen is fibroblast treatment, and we have taken a look at the side effects below.
Will I See Side Effects?
You may encounter a side effect or two after having fibroblast treatment, and these tend to vary from person to person.

These side effects progress to stinging, itchiness, dry skin, crusting and weeping yellow pus, which are also considered normal.
