Pre-Treatment
* It is recommended than sun protection creams should be used daily for at
least two weeks daily prior to treatment.
* Professional strength skincare products with ingredients such as retinols,
alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), tretinoin or any type of vitamin A derivatives
should be avoided for 2 weeks prior to any Plasma Lift treatment.
* A medical history should also be taken to make sure that there are no
reasons why you shouldn’t carry out treatment. Ask the client to sign a
consent form which means that they have understood the potential benefits
and risks associated with the procedure.
* Photographs must also be taken by the practitioner for a "before and after"
comparison at a later date.
Possible post treatment reactions
Following any Jett plasma treatment, most people experience a mild burning
sensation similar to sunburn. This will disappear after a couple of hours.
Depending upon your skin sensitivity tolerance this discomfort may last a little
longer. If the area feels particularly uncomfortable, anti-inflammatory medication
can be taken. Please consult a pharmacist prior to taking any over the counter
medication.
As a natural healing response, it is usual for the treated area to become very
swollen, especially around the more delicate areas such as the eyes.
This can last from 3 to 8 days in most cases.
There will be a light crusting on the skin after treatment and a deeper crust in the areas dotted.
These must not be picked as this can disrupt the healing process. The
crusting simply flakes off after a few days but in some cases can take over 1 week.
DO NOT pick at this crusting as it can lead to infection or scarring. Likewise, it is
important to keep the treated area clean.
The area should be wiped down with alcohol wipes at night and then a hyaluronic
acid or serum applied for moisture and to decrease downtime. This should be
repeated a minimum of 2x per day.
If you wish to wear makeup it should be ONLY recommended products for the first
3 days and a mineral based make up until fully healed.
You may find the application of ice packs or hydrating mask can soothe and help
reduce swelling.
In extreme cases, the swelling can last several days and may initially interfere with
vision.
Initially, after treatment and for a day or so afterwards, there may be occasional
weeping. This is simply plasma and is a natural healing response.
This simply flakes off after a few days but in some cases can take over 1 week.
DO NOT pick at this crusting as it can lead to infection or scarring. Likewise, it is
important to keep the treated area clean and dry.
