Other Important Aftercare Advice & Top Tips

1. Avoid smoking and alcohol.

2. Eat a whole food diet and avoid excess sugar to maximize results.

3. On top of the immediate rejuvenation, lifting and tightening effects you will likely experi-
ence from Plasma Pen, it takes 8 to 12 weeks for the full effects of your treatment to be seen.

4. If additional treatments are required, it will be necessary to wait until the skin completely
heals (12 weeks).
