Plasma Pen treatment, also called fibroblast skin tightening, uses a small handheld device to deliver controlled energy to the skin's surface, prompting the body's natural healing response to tighten and resurface loose or crepey skin. It's a popular option for patients who want to address mild sagging, particularly around the eyes, without committing to a surgical procedure or the recovery time that comes with it.
Hera Med Spa is now offering XERF treatments!
Hera Beauty & Wellness Med Spa performs plasma fibroblast treatments under physician-directed care, with candidacy and safety reviewed before any session. Because outcomes and downtime depend heavily on technique and device settings, treatments are performed only by trained, licensed providers who understand how to calibrate energy levels to each patient's skin type and concern.
Under the medical direction of Dr. Mirela Cernaianu, MD, every plasma fibroblast treatment plan is reviewed for medical appropriateness before scheduling, rather than treating every patient as an automatic candidate. Patients receive detailed aftercare instructions given the visible healing process involved, including guidance on cleansing, sun protection, and what to expect at each stage of healing.

Will my results look natural?
A numbing cream is applied before treatment, and most patients describe the sensation as mild heat or tingling rather than significant pain. Some patients feel more sensation in thinner-skinned areas like the eyelids.
Risks include prolonged redness, scabbing, swelling, and the possibility of hyperpigmentation, particularly in patients with medium to dark skin tones. Less commonly, patients can experience infection, scarring, or uneven results if the treatment isn't performed with appropriate technique. Your provider will review these risks and confirm candidacy before treatment.
Expect visible scabbing for about five to seven days, followed by pink or red skin that can be covered with mineral makeup after the crusts release. Most patients plan for about a week before feeling comfortable in social settings without concealer.
Most patients see results from a single session, though some areas benefit from a follow-up treatment after the skin has fully healed, typically eight or more weeks later, to build on the initial tightening.
Yes, when performed appropriately, Fibroblast treatment produces a gradual tightening effect rather than a sudden change, which tends to look natural as it develops over the following months.
