What happens on day of treatment?
On the treatment day, it is recommended that no make-up is worn on the treatment area.
An numbing agent is applied and left to take effect for up to 30 minutes. When the treatment area is sufficiently numb, the session begins with multiple connections of the plasma tip, spaced closely together. You may feel some heat in the treatment area, which may be uncomfortable and slightly irritating. Treatment time is usually between 10-40 minutes, depending on the size of the area. (3.5 hours for tummy tightening)
Immediately after treatment the area will be red and mildly swollen with small crustations and discolouration. You may experience a sensation similar to a sun burn which will likely last a few hours. Swelling may intensify over the following few hours and more so when eyes are treated and may last 3-5 days. The crustations/discoloration should resolve within 5 -12 days depending on the individual and area treated. Results are seen instantly after the treatment, although this gradually improves over the course of the following 8-12 weeks. Essentially there is downtime, but it is considerably less then with surgery.
Following treatment you will be given thorough aftercare instructions to ensure that you see the best results. You will be given a specially developed medical aftercare product to promote healing and sooth the initial discomfort. In the weeks following treatment you will also be given an aftercare product to use as instructed.
