All clients should be aware of the following potential risks before undergoing Plasma Fibroblast treatment.

While Plasma Fibroblast is considered a minimally invasive skin tightening procedure, all cosmetic treatments carry some degree of risk.

Common & Expected Side Effects

These reactions are normal and generally resolve during the healing process:

• Redness and inflammation of the treated area

• Swelling (particularly around the eyes and delicate facial areas)

• Mild discomfort, heat, stinging, or tenderness

• Formation of small carbon crusts/scabs ("dotting")

• Tightness and dryness of the skin

• Itching during healing

• Temporary darkening or lightening of the skin

• Sensitivity to touch

• Mild bruising in some individuals

Less Common Risks

Although uncommon, the following side effects may occur:

• Prolonged redness lasting several weeks or months

• Hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin)

• Hypopigmentation (lightening of the skin)

• Uneven skin texture

• Delayed wound healing

• Persistent swelling

• Infection if aftercare instructions are not followed

• Acne breakouts or milia (small white bumps)

• Skin irritation from skincare products used during recovery

• Temporary skin sensitivity to sunlight

Rare Risks

Rare complications may include:

• Scarring (including hypertrophic or keloid scarring)

• Skin burns

• Permanent pigmentation changes

• Nerve irritation causing temporary numbness or altered sensation

• Allergic reactions to products used before, during, or after treatment

• Unsatisfactory cosmetic outcome

• Asymmetry of results

• Skin depressions or irregular healing

• Need for additional treatments to achieve desired outcomes

Factors That May Increase Risk

Certain factors can increase the likelihood of complications or affect healing:

• Recent sun exposure or tanning

• Smoking or vaping

• Poor wound healing history

• Diabetes

• Autoimmune disorders

• Certain medications (including blood thinners, steroids, isotretinoin/Roaccutane)

• History of keloid or hypertrophic scarring

• Active skin infections, cold sores, or inflammation

• Inadequate compliance with aftercare instructions

• Excessive picking or scratching of crusts/scabs during healing

The treatment can be uncomfortable, we recommend you purchase numbing cream from the pharmacy to apply 60 mins prior treatment. Your therapist will also with your permission apply additional numbing cream to keep you comfortable during your treatment.

Some clients are happy with their results from 1 session, others depending on the severity of the fine lines, skin laxity and other factors such as age, more treatments may be needed. The results can last up to 5 years.
