It is highly unlikely you will ever get an infection from a Plasma Pen. However; with any skin rejuvenation treatment, we are not in control of what you do when you leave and you should be aware that the first 12 hours area risk period for infection so, please keep your hands clean and avoid touching the area.

Following Plasma Fibroblast treatment, most people experience a mild burning sensation similar to sunburn which resolves after a few hours.
As a natural healing response, the treated area will become swollen, especially around the more delicate areas such as the eyes. Depending upon your natural rate of recovery most people find it only usually lasts few days. In extreme cases, (especially if client has failed to follow after care advice), the swelling can last several days and may initially interfere with vision. For the first night or two, it is advisable to sleep with your head elevated to prevent excessive swelling.
Initially after the treatment and for a day or so afterwards, there may be occasional weeping. This is simply plasma and is a natural healing response.
As the treated area begins to heal, you will notice its drying out process, a brown crust develops upon the surface of the skin.
The spots will flakes off after a few days but in some rare cases can take over 2 weeks. DO NOT pick at this crusting as it can lead to infection or scarring.
