Is there downtime after my Plasma Pen treatment?
There IS downtime. “Downtime” is very subjective. What you think “looks bad” and/or is “uncomfortable” can be very different from someone else’s perception. If you are comparing it to cosmetic surgery, then the downtime is minimal. If you are comparing it to a light chemical peel where you are just a bit flaky everywhere, then downtime is a bit more significant.
What to expect
• Redness, swelling, and scabbing in the treatment area
• Average of 5-8 days downtime on the face and neck areas
• Average of 10-14 days on the body, depending on the area being treated and the intensity of the treatment
• Swelling usually begins the day following your treatment, and peaks around day 3
• After day 3, swelling subsides and scabs form
• Scabs normally begin to fall off around day 6 and 7 (for face and neck)
*Please be aware that the days indicated are simply guidelines for average healing time. Healing time and results may be negatively compromised by not following the after care protocol.
After care protocol
No drinking alcohol, no smoking, and no picking or scrubbing. If your health is compromised in any way, this can also extend your healing time and negatively affect your results. You will be given detailed after care instructions by your Infinity Medspa+Wellness licensed service provider prior to treatment. Some cases may require more than one session depending on the desired results.
