Like most skin rejuvenation treatments, there may be some side-effects but the post-treatment downtime and recovery from Plasma Pen – plus the end result – is frequently shown to be far superior to treatment with other devices. However, we are not in control of what you do when you leave and you must follow these important guidelines carefully if you wish to enjoy optimal results and protect your investment in Plasma Pen treatment.

You are likely to experience some short-term side effects during the initial skin healing process, which is typically the first 7 days after treatment.

It takes 8-12 weeks for the full effect of your treatment to be seen. Additional treatments in the same area, if required, may only be done after the 8-week period.

• You may continue with your normal daily activities as normal, but you may not look your absolute best during the initial healing process (usually 3 to 7 days, depending on the areas treated and your skin’s healing abilities).
• There may be some mild to moderate swelling to the area(s) treated, especially around the eyes and within the periorbital region if that is where you have had a procedure
• Swelling and inflammation for 1 to 5 days post-treatment is normal but will usually be of a very minor nature and is to be expected
• If possible we recommend you take a high dose of Vitamin C supplements over the course of the
• healing process as this will help give your immune system a big boost. In turn this helps you to repair and also helps avoid hyperpigmentation.
• You may experience a “stinging” sensation in the treated area(s) immediately after treatment. This is normal and is simply the heat exiting the skin. It generally only lasts for about an hour or so
• We recommend NOT exercising straight after a treatment because any heat, steam or sweat could add to the inflammation that’s already present
• If the treated area is swollen then you may apply ice packs covered with a clean cloth. Do NOT apply ice directly onto the skin as this will cause damage to the tissue
• The area that has been treated must NOT be covered with plasters, occlusive dressing or any type of make-up, mascara, creams or any other product until the area has fully healed (outside of specific products we recommend and which should be available from your technician)
• If you have received facial treatment, we recommend you sleep on your back with your head elevated to avoid brushing your face on your pillow. If you have received treatment to your eyes then it is important you sleep slightly elevated for up to 7 days as this can greatly reduce swelling
• It is highly unlikely you will ever get an infection from a Plasma Pen treatment as the wound we cause is not open. However the first 12 hours post-treatment is of vital importance in protecting you from any kind of potential infection so please avoid any activities where, for example, you could expose yourself to contaminants.

In The Following Days After Your Treatment:

• It is normal for the area that has been treated to feel tight and dry Occasional weeping will settle
• Tiny crusts will quickly form on the treated area. These may be visible for up to about a week Do NOT pick crusts off as this will delay the healing process and could cause scarring
• The area(s) treated may be cleansed daily with lukewarm water,and a soft, lint free cloth. You are only removing excess oil and do not need to thoroughly cleanse the treated skin. Do NOT be tempted to rub or brush the area to aid the removal of the crusts. Pat dry with a clean tissue.
• We advise you do NOT stand with your face under a hot shower for the first 3 to 4 days. This could increase swelling. Try to avoid shower gels or hair products running on to your face as this could cause irritation and inflammation. Rinse thoroughly with tepid water if products do come into contact with the area(s) treated and gently pat dry
• Outside of using given aftercare products please do NOT apply any other lotions or creams unless your practitioner has specifically advised you to do so. Absolutely do NOT use any lotions or creams that contain perfume or alcohol. The area must be kept free of oil to help the crusts form and then fall off of the skin naturally. Do NOT rub or abrade the area(s) or use exfoliating products. This could result in scarring and/or pigmentation
• When the crusts have fallen off then your skin may be a little pink as it is fresh, new and rejuvenated baby skin
• Once the crusts have all fallen off you may apply your normal foundation/make-up but avoid using skincare products containing Glycolic or any other active exfoliating ingredients as this will cause irritation
• You absolutely MUST now begin to apply SPF 50+ while your skin is in the healing stages (pink in colour) when you are out and about and you should continue to do so for at least the next 12 weeks (and ideally longer). The area(s) treated have produced brand new skin and may burn / pigment without adequate protection from the sun

• You absolutely must NOT use saunas or sunbeds during your 10 – 12 week healing period and ideally for longer. Avoid the midday sun

• All other facial treatments on the same area should be avoided whilst your skin is healing Avoid smoking for 7 days

• Taking Vitamin C supplements over the course of your healing process can give your immune system a big boost and help you to repair. Anti-inflammatory and anti-histamine medication can also help. Consider the use of topical anti-oxidants to fight sun damage such as a Vitamin C serum. The use of citrus juice, aloe vera and even soy are all cited by as good ingredients for preventing hyperpigmentation

• Any additional treatments that may be required must only be performed once the skin is completely healed and has returned back to its normal colour. This usually takes about 12 weeks. Plasma Pen treatment is the gift that keeps giving and, on top of the immediate rejuvenation, lifting and tightening effects you will likely experience, it can actually take 8 to 12 weeks for the full effects of your treatment to be seen anyway so you may not actually require further treatment once the effects of your original treatment are more determinable

• Please note that if you do require a longer period of time between treatments then the delay will not alter the outcome/results
