7 weeks post Plasma Pen Treatment [Regrets?]

Let me tell you what you should have done while the scabs were still in place. Sunscreen from day one when outside, yes right on top of your scabs. When you wash your face it should be patting only, no rubbing. Introducing Vitamin C within the 3 month waiting period is not advised. NO working out while scabs are in place period! any form of sweat can lead to premature flaking of scabs and the longer those scabs stay in place, the better your results will be. I believe I'm seeing melasma on your cheeks. Fibroblast plasma will darken melasma so those areas should not have been treated. Note that melasma and sun spots are not the same thing. Sun spots can be safely removed with plasma, however melasma will come back strong and even darker. I also question your fitzpatrick reading. You appear to be a possible 4 which often experience hyperpigmentation afterward. Next time do 12 weeks of pr- lightening and then wait 2 weeks before a second session of plasma. You might consider a plasma peel next time. Continue to go under your LED light. I'm the Director of Education for an aesthetic company and Plasma Therapy is just one of the hundreds of courses I've built and teach.

Hi there Kayla! I do this procedure, and just an FYI someone of your level on the Fitz scale which is between a 3 and 4 does have a chance of seeing hyperpigmentation around 6-8 weeks post-procedure. Buuuuuut..... just to let you know that it will slowly dissipate. The woman that trained me is Latina and she said that is something she specializes in, doing Fibroblast on people with those types of skin tones. So you will see darker pigmentation but it will get better, so DONT GET DISCOURAGED! Give it about another 30 days and keep doing what you're doing already. It's looking great!

After you completely heal speak to a dermatologist for a high quality bleaching cream. You don’t have to contend with dark spots bleaching cream works well.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful! 😍 I know It’s hard to be patient , especially when it comes to our face. However, your on the right track. I started my journey with melisma/ hyperpigmentation in my late 20’s after my 4th & last child. Years of creams,serums ,home remedies microdermabrasion & even dermablend makeup to cover it. It wasn’t until I was ready to try something more aggressive that would require patience ( worse before better approach) I decided on a combination approach of laser resurfacing, IPL, chemical peel & fibroblast plasma pen that I was finally able to feel confident about my skin. The laser & chemical peel were the most intense. It’s something that will require on going care & maintenance but it’s worth it! Like someone already said, “Hang in there!” Nothing truly worth fighting for comes easy. You got this!

Hope the treatments you’ve had since then have helped. Microneedling can definitely do some good. You might even want to try some high% TCA or glycolic acid peels. Space all of these out at least 4 weeks apart, and the plus side is that clinical strength treatments will also help with collagen induction to tighten & thicken skin over time - but it does take time because the effects are cumulative and long reacting. In the future, once your hyperpigmentation is under control, look into biostimulator injections like sculptra, or Platelet Rich Plasma / exomes to induce that collagen subcutaneously and without as much risk for skin discoloration.

She is already too beautiful to even need this to be done. And, I just don't understand why both women & men would put a synthetic chemical on their face - such as sunscreen & the other products you all use. How insane is that?

Use Timeless vit C and prescription retin A. You can also do acid peels by platinum skin care.

It has been over a year now....how are you doing??!!

It improves with time. I had done on my eyelids and even though eyelid skin is thinner and heals faster than the thicker parts of our face, the dots are still there (in the form of hollows) but fading so slowly (it shows they are going to go away). When it comes to your face and as I mentioned above, the skin of the face is thougher than the eyelids, you have to be more patient. In 12 weeks I am sure we will see the prominent results. Because as you said your face has a tendency to be scarred (so do I) that is why we are experiencing this. But be hopeful and try not to be carried away with that. Just go on with your life and they will fade away on their own.

I’d love to see your skin now! I had it done and had amazing results but I have very white skin. I stayed out of the sun for an entire week and since I work from home it wasn’t an issue.

Hi I’m an esthetician, and I’m not sure if anyone told you, but you can use vitamin e overnight. That will help.

go for prp and carbon leaser for pigmentation and start skin pm am routine

Girl ! I watched your first video then this one I have exactly the same as yours the dots hyperpigment will gone but took time, what ai learn from the proces we did the same mistake and you know this process have 2 ways to healing Wet or Dry. depends which is fit for you..as I did wet healing using aquaphor and keep it moisture always looks good at first week but in the coming weeks dots hyperpigments appears so bad🤦‍♀️ so if You still want to do plasma treatment, I suggest you to through by Dry healing as I did last time it works for my skin , so dry healing is After your treatment you just let it alone keep avoid the contra direct sun,water,sauna etc. and let it healing by them self get dry then fell off without moisturizer involved. Good luck!

buy a plasma pen, hit the spots about 3x, after its almost healed. sali acidI(good for acne but after keep skin moisturized). I do it on my own skin. its a lil shocking to do yourself but you also buy a lidocaine 4% (leave it for an hr, wipe it then proceed)which is at drug stores or walmart, if you have one. Remember: Results may take at least 9 months, with consistant treatments, :) The doctor didnt hit your dark spots directly, girls do that, a selective hearing lol__

Something about Botox: it is much better to do the whole face than just spot-treat…so the muscles are bc evenly weakened

Hang in there Kayla! You look amazing!!💜❤️

In your first video I honestly cringed at you going to the store, working out ect 😬 The skin is SSOO sensitive. Your skin tone is already so risky for hyperpigmentation even without the sun exposure. The pigmentation WILL fade though. Microneedling would do wonders for it.

Please try coconut oil, I have rosacea and when my skin goes crazy, only natural stuff to the coconut oil I add lavender essential oil to heal, and peppermint essential oil to cool). I have little faith in skincare from the thousands of dollars I have spent over the years. I have even abandoned the Dermatologist's advice as it didn't help.

Cold plasma works more slowly but it’s safe on any skin tone

I heard La Roche Posay has a new sunscreen UVMUNE which is suppose to have a filter that blocks part of the UV rays not covered by other sunscreens (only sold overseas). Also Colorscience has spf that is suppose to block blue light (screens and devices) which I belive causes hyperpigmentation.
