Post-Treatment Aftercare Instructions

Cold compression as needed.

No water on the treated area for 3–5 days.
If it feels dirty, rinse with Dial antibacterial soap and clean water, blot dry, air dry, and apply Miel Balm, Redemption ointment, or Unscented A&D Ointment.

Refrain from exercising for the first three (3) days.

On the fifth day, you may begin using soap on the treated area.
Use an antiseptic and antibacterial soap, such as Dial.
Avoid scented soap bars to prevent potential allergic reactions.

Avoid direct sun exposure and spray tanning until any pigmentation has completely faded, typically around 6–8 weeks.
(8–12 weeks minimum for spray tanning is highly recommended.)

Avoid indoor pools, saunas, and Jacuzzis for 10 days to minimize the risk of infection.

Do not apply body lotion to the treated area for one month.

Apply Miel Balm or Unscented A&D Ointment every morning for two months, beginning the day after your appointment.

Apply serums or oils every night and morning as needed, starting the day of your appointment.
Light massage is recommended.

Resist the urge to scratch or touch the treated area.
Do not remove any crusting or scabs if they develop.

If Fibroblast Plasma was utilized as part of your scar revision protocol:
Do not pick scabs.
Follow all aftercare instructions provided.
Allow the skin to fully heal.
The first 12 weeks involve collagen remodeling—please be patient.
Healing may take longer on rare occasions. This is a normal and essential part of the regenerative process.

What to Expect During the Camouflage & Inkless Healing Process

Swelling typically subsides the next day.

Mild irritation may occur within a few days.

Redness darkens, and the treated area may appear blotchy as pigment begins to settle.

Pigment starts to fade around week 4.

Full healing occurs in 6–8 weeks.

Follow-up Appointment

Schedule your follow-up with Skin Rehab Lab within 4–8 weeks.

Allergic Reactions

Although rare, excessive swelling, burning, or allergic reactions may occur.
If excessive swelling occurs, consult your doctor.

If you experience difficulty breathing and/or swelling, call 911 or go to the emergency room immediately.

As with most skin rejuvenation treatments, you may experience some side-effects following a Plasma Pen treatment. However, the post-treatment downtime and recovery from a Plasma Pen device are far superior to other treatments with reduced downtime and faster recovery times.

Our Plasma Pen device, when used with our exclusive nano-probes, allow specialist Plasma Pen technicians to work very quickly and efficiently whilst also minimising the potential discomfort.

How to prepare for your Plasma Pen treatment?

To ensure the very best results, it’s important to follow all advice from your Plasma Pen Technician prior to your treatment. We recommend that you:

1. Avoid sun-bathing, spraytanning, tanning injections, or sunbeds for at least 4 weeks before your treatment.

2. Use SPF50 daily for up to 4 weeks before the treatment to protect your skin.

3. Avoid any other type of treatment in the same area as you are having treated for up to 4 weeks before the treatment, including laser therapy, chemical peels, microneedling, or fillers.

4. Avoid smoking and alcohol in the run-up to your treatment.

What to Expect After Your Treatment

Day 1–3
Swelling peaks within the first 24 hours and may spread to nearby areas (such as under the eyes). Discomfort, tenderness, tightness, and a sensation of heat are normal. Dots (carbon crusts) will begin forming—do not pick them.

Day 4–6
Discomfort and swelling begin to subside. Scabs may naturally lift and flake off. Skin may feel dry or tight.

Day 7–10
Most crusts will shed. Skin may appear pink or tender—this is part of the natural healing process. You may resume using mineral sunscreen and makeup once all scabs have shed.

Weeks 3–4
Slight redness or sensitivity may remain. Avoid exfoliating products or harsh skincare.

Month 2–3
Full healing and pigment normalization typically occur by this stage. Continue sun protection daily to maintain results.

Product Protocol (as directed by your technician)

Colloidal Silver Spray or Hydrinity Spray
Use as needed from Day 1 to reduce heat, redness, and inflammation. Helps prevent infection.

Factor Five Silk Serum or Hydrinity Restorative Serum
Begin Day 2. Apply 2–3 times daily to promote healing and skin regeneration.

Epicutis Sachet & Growth Factor Mask
May be applied starting Day 1 to soothe and accelerate healing.

Burn Gel Packs
Use nightly from Day 1–7 to calm the skin.

Oil Cleanser or Wipes
Once dots have shed, use nightly to gently cleanse and nourish the skin.

Rosewater & Scar Gel
Start on Day 2–3. Apply 2–3 times daily to hydrate, seal, and protect the treated area.

Mineral SPF 50+
Begin once all crusts have shed. Reapply every 2 hours when exposed to UV light. Daily use is essential for a minimum of 12 weeks.

Pro Tip: Skin may remain pink or photosensitive for several weeks. This is normal. Continued use of SPF and hydration will support optimal results. Collagen remodeling continues for 12 weeks post-treatment.

Things to Avoid

No sun exposure, lasers, tanning beds, or chemical peels for 6–12 weeks.
Do not pick, peel, or scratch the dots.
Avoid heavy sweating, saunas, and steam rooms for 2 weeks.
Avoid exfoliating acids, glycolics, or retinoids until the skin is fully healed.
Do not use non-mineral makeup until crusts have completely shed.
Avoid wearing contact lenses for 72 hours if treating near the eyes.
