We begin all appointments with a consultation. During the consultation, we review the area(s) of concern and your medical history. It is important to fully disclose medications, previous procedures, cold sores, skin conditions and any history of pigmentation changes or raised scars, as these can affect your safety or results.

We will discuss the likely recovery, alternatives and risks, including burns, infection, scarring and changes in skin colour. Your nurse will confirm whether the proposed area is suitable and explain preparation and consent before a treatment is booked.

Please attend your appointment without makeup on the treatment area. The skin will be cleansed, and topical numbing may be used where appropriate. The practitioner applies controlled plasma energy in a precise pattern, creating small treatment points on the skin. You may feel heat, stinging or discomfort despite numbing. Treatment time depends on the area, and you will receive individual aftercare instructions before leaving the clinic.

Redness, swelling, tenderness and small crusts are expected during the initial healing period. Do not pick, scratch or remove the crusts; allow them to fall away naturally. Follow the cleansing and product instructions provided by your nurse, and avoid makeup or active skincare on the treated area until cleared to resume them.

Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning, heat and strenuous exercise during early recovery as instructed. Your nurse will explain when to begin sunscreen on the healing area and how to protect it from the sun. Contact the clinic promptly for increasing pain, spreading redness, discharge or concerns about healing. Seek urgent medical care for eye pain or changes in vision. A follow-up assessment allows us to review your recovery and discuss the next steps.
