There is a huge sense of relief that comes with deciding to have PlasmaPen treatment. You can relax, knowing that your skin woes and lack of self-esteem will soon be behind you. Whether you are having PlasmaPen treatment to correct sun damage or to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, to tighten sagging skin or to smooth uneven texture, you can expect impressive results. But, how long do PlasmaPen results take to show?
Instead of eagerly anticipating PlasmaPen results, it’s a good idea to familiarise yourself with the healing process. By doing so, you will know exactly what to expect and when. Though some PlasmaPen results are visible instantly, you are likely to find that things improve gradually throughout the healing process, with the results becoming more and more impressive as time goes on.
How Long Before PlasmaPen Results Show?
There are a number of reasons to choose PlasmaPen, one of which is that the results are noticeable straightaway. Once you have had PlasmaPen treatment, you will notice a change in your skin. This could mean the skin’s surface is smoother, or skin is tighter and less saggy, depending on the reasons for treatment in the first place. Once the fibroblasts process has been completed, you will notice a visible difference in the appearance of their skin. This is a huge confidence boost, but the best is yet to come. The full results of the PlasmaPen treatment won’t be visible for several days, with some results taking up to three weeks to show.
The reason why some PlasmaPen results take a while to show is due to collagen production. A lot of PlasmaPen treatments rely on the skin’s increased production of collagen, and this takes time. During the healing process, your skin will heal and improve as more collagen is produced. You will notice the texture, tone and appearance of your skin gradually improves.
As everyone’s skin is different, it’s hard to give an exact answer to the question “how long before PlasmaPen results show?” but you shouldn’t be waiting more than a few days for the initial results, with the final results being visible a few weeks later.
How to Ensure Quick Results
When it comes to ensuring quick PlasmaPen results, don’t underestimate the importance of aftercare. To speed up the healing process, and to ensure that you see the best results possible, you need to take care of your skin. Aftercare is a huge part of maximising the impact that PlasmaPen treatment has on your skin. Here are some of the key PlasmaPen aftercare rules:
- One of the most important parts of aftercare is to keep the treated area as dry as possible for the first 24 hours. This means avoiding washing your face and keeping the area dry when you’re bathing.
- It’s important to apply cooling masks and cooling balm to the targeted area after PlasmaPen treatment, as this will help to keep your skin cool. When skin is cool, it has a better chance of healing well and rejuvenation tends to be more effective.
- Keeping the skin cool also means avoiding spending time in the sun and heat, and it’s best to stay in the shade if you do need to venture outside. Sunlight and heat could cause damage to the skin, hindering results.
- You have probably heard that hydration is key, and that is certainly the case after PlasmaPen treatment. Staying hydrated will help your skin to heal by keeping it healthy, soft and supple.
- You need to avoid wearing even the smallest amount of makeup after PlasmaPen treatment. Though you might be tempted to hide the damage caused by PlasmaPen, this could cause a lot of irritation. If you want to see impressive PlasmaPen results, you need to give your skin the chance to heal without makeup.
One of the most important parts of aftercare is to be patient. Though you will see some results immediately after your treatment, the healing process can vary hugely, and you are unlikely to see the full impact of PlasmaPen until days or weeks after treatment. As long as you are consistent with caring for your skin after treatment, and you follow the instructions of your practitioner, you are sure to see impressive results sooner rather than later.
Side Effects
There aren’t too many side effects to worry about with PlasmaPen, and side effects are typically a sign that a topical anaesthetic wasn’t applied properly. If you do notice a change in your skin that you weren’t expecting, keep an eye on things, but you will likely find that the side effects fade within a few days.
If you do experience side effects after PlasamPen treatment, it’s probably going to be a minor irritation, redness, swelling or mild discomfort. It’s rarely anything to worry about, and side effects are temporary. If you do have any concerns, speak to your practitioner. They will be able to put your mind at ease, so you can focus on the healing journey.
At PlasmaPen, we know how keen you are to see results, but be patient. PlasmaPen is a treatment that is capable of completely transforming and improving your skin, but it needs time to work. PlasmaPen treatment itself is quick and convenient, so it’s not a case of having to return to the clinic multiple times afterwards. You can sit back, relax and watch your skin improve.
