Patient Instructions for Plasma Pen Treatments
To ensure you achieve the best possible results from your Plasma Pen treatment, it’s important to follow specific guidelines before and after your session. The following instructions are designed to prepare your skin for the procedure and help it recover effectively, maximizing the benefits of your treatment.
Before Your Appointment:
- Avoid Anti-Inflammatory Drugs: Anti-inflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen) can thin your blood, increasing the risk of bruising during and after the treatment.
- Remove Makeup Before Appointment: Keeping the treatment area free of makeup ensures the Plasma Pen can work directly on clean skin, which reduces the risk of infection and improves treatment efficacy.
- Hydrate Properly: Well-hydrated skin can better tolerate the procedure and heal more efficiently, contributing to more effective and even results.

Post-Treatment Care:
- Apply Aftercare Products: We give patients their aftercare products, which consist of Subnovii Recovery Cream and Recovery Powder. These specially formulated aftercare products contain ingredients that promote healing and protect the treatment area from unwanted side effects and sun exposure.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Post-treatment skin is more sensitive to UV rays, which can lead to sunburn or pigmentation issues. High SPF protects the skin while it heals and helps maintain treatment results. While the skin is healing from treatment we want people to avoid sun exposure all together as well as sweating, saunas, and steam rooms. We do not want the treated skin to get wet. After initial healing 50 SPF should be used and patients should avoid extreme sun exposure for 3 months.
- Follow a Gentle Skincare Routine: Gentle skincare products and avoiding mechanical irritation help to prevent any damage to the healing skin, ensuring that the treatment area recovers smoothly without complications. During the initial healing only the given Subnovii aftercare products should be used, after this they can slowly start to resume their usual skincare routine.
