Cold and Hyper Plasma treatments focus on calming inflammation, sterilising bacteria and strengthening the skin barrier. They have minimal downtime and are often used on sensitive or reactive skin, acne, rosacea, eczema and psoriasis.

Most clients leave a little pink, then quickly feel calmer, cooler and less itchy or congested.

Avoid

• Strong actives: acids, retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, high dose vitamin C

• Hot showers directly on the face, saunas, spas and steam rooms

24 to 72 hours

What you may see

• Acne lesions starting to dry and flatten
• Redness and heat in rosacea or eczema areas reducing
• Overall skin looking clearer and more even

Care

• You can continue with gentle cleansing and barrier focused skincare
• If your skin is comfortable, you can slowly re introduce any prescribed actives, spacing them out and watching for sensitivity
• Keep daily SPF in place

Ongoing course of treatments

Cold and Hyper Plasma usually work best as a series, especially for acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis and scalp concerns.

• Stick to the frequency we have recommended
• Keep your home care consistent between visits
• Let us know if you start any new medications or topical prescriptions while in a course

When to contact the clinic

Reach out if:

• Your skin feels unusually hot, painful or looks more inflamed than before treatment
• You notice blisters, open wounds or yellow crusting
• Your scalp becomes very sore or tender after treatment

We can then adjust your treatment plan or refer you on if needed.
