Plasma Pen Aftercare Advice and Instructions

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 into plasma pen treatment.

Although for most of plasma pen treatment virtually pain free, your own treatment may be moderately uncomfortable and sensitive depending on where you are being treated – especially eyelid procedures where the skin is at its thinnest, and your own sensitives and tolerances.

1. Before Your Treatment

Please Note: a consultation and patch test is required at least 2 weeks before your treatment.

➡️ Use a gentle exfoliator every other day two weeks prior to treatment and moisturise every day. We recommend Leaf & Lab ExfoLab Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Toner Or schedule a microdermabrasion & moisturising treatment with us.

➡️ It is recommended that sun protection of SPF 30-50 be used daily for at least 2 weeks prior to the Plasma Lift treatment(s). We recommend Leaf & Lab SunLab products

➡️ We recommended you avoid sun-tanning, spray tanning, tanning injections and sunbeds for 2 to 4 weeks before your treatment.

➡️ Avoid any other type of procedures on the same area which you intend to have treated with Plasma Pen, such as laser therapy, Chemical peels, fillers, as this may prevent your treatment being performed by your technician at the time you want it.

➡️ It is also recommended to start taking extra Vitamin C two weeks before and after treatment to aid in the skin’s healing process.

➡️ Depending on your needs, microneedling and or red light therapy may be recommended to enhance your PlasmaLift results.

➡️ Skincare products with ingredients such as retinols, alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), tretinoin or any type of Vitamin A derivatives should be avoided two weeks prior to treatment as well as two weeks post-treatment.

➡️ Please come to your appointment with a clean face, free of makeup and moisturisers.

➡️ If you have a history of cold sores, please take your medication three days before and three days following PlasmaLift treatment or as directed by your doctor.

➡️ Photographs will be taken by the specialist “before and after” treatment as well as at a later date for comparison.

➡️ It is recommended to not wear contact lenses if we are treating the eye area. Contacts may be put in after treatment, but glasses are recommended in case you have excessive swelling.

➡️ We absolutely love kids, but due to our insurance, minors are not allowed in the salon.

After Care:

PLASMALIFT POST-PROCEDURE INFORMATION & INSTRUCTIONS

With Sunshine Botanicals Kit

💟 Anything that touches the treated area must be CLEAN! Fingers, ice packs, towels, gauze, pillow case, etc…

💟 The mild sunburn feeling most people have following the procedure should resolve within 12-48 hours. If your skin feels really uncomfortable, an anti-inflammatory (ibuprofen) or an antihistamine (Benadryl) can be taken.

💟 It is normal to have some swelling, especially in more delicate skin like the eyes. Swelling can last anywhere from 2-4 days depending on how you tend to heal, and ice may be used to reduce swelling. A frozen bag of peas works very well wrapped in a clean paper towel.

💟 If you have any weeping where your skin was treated, gently pat the area with provided gauze sprayed with some O2 Revive MD OX66 Rejuvenation Spray and also spray the face with it throughout the day.

💟 As your skin begins to heal, the dots will dry out and crust over. Crusts will flake off 5-8 days later.

💟 DO NOT PICK or scratch the crusting as it can lead to infection or scarring. It is important to keep this area clean and dry.

💟 Make sure to sleep on a CLEAN pillowcase and do your best to sleep on your back.

💟 Refrain from working out for at least two days.

💟 Men should avoid shaving the treated area until it is fully healed.

💟 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 onto 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.

💟 Twice daily, morning and evening, carefully clean the treated areas with provided Cleanse & Calm Cleanser and pat dry with a clean towel. Then, spray O2 Revive MD OX66 Rejuvenation Spray onto treated area(s).

💟 Once the crusts surface AND your skin feels tight and dry a few days later, add the rest of the after care products to your regimen. 1. Cleanse & Calm Cleanser 2. O2 Revive MD OX66 Rejuvenation Spray 3. Radical Recovery Gel 4. Rapid Repair Balm 5. Total Eclipse BB Cream.

💟 If you purchased concealer, dab it on very carefully with a soft makeup sponge after the after care products have dried. DO NOT use any other makeup. This is specially designed for irritated skin after PlasmaLift Treatments. Wash it off gently with water only, using a spray or squirt bottle. (Wait 24 hours before using the concealer.)

💟 After the crusts fall off ON THEIR OWN, pink/red skin will be left behind. This can last 4-6 weeks. Continue to. use all of the after care products until you run out.

💟 Regular makeup can be applied AFTER crusts have completely fallen off.

💟 Use SPF 30-50 sunscreen lotion daily once the crusts fall off for at least 3-4 months post treatment. Daily use is encouraged to prevent signs of aging. Total Eclipse BB Cream is perfect for this.

💟 Swimming and sauna activities are only permitted 2 weeks post treatment and once all the crusts have fallen off the skin. 💟 DO NOT use alcohol-based cleansers, as this will slow down the healing process.

💟 If at any time the treated area(s) become too hot, red, or shows sign of pus, please contact us for advice as you may be developing an infection.

💟 You must wait 12 weeks for another treatment to allow for proper healing.

4. Other Important Aftercare Advice and Top Tips.

• Avoid smoking and alcohol

• Taking vitamin C supplement over the course of your healing process an give your immune system 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 a good ingredients for preventing hyperpigmentation.

• Any additional treatments that may be required must only be performed one 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 keep giving and on top of the immediate rejuvenation, lifting and tightening affects you will likely experience, it can actually take 8 to 12 weeks for the full effects of your treatment to be seen. 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 alter the outcome/results.
