If ANY of the following apply to you we will not be able to proceed with Plasma Fibroblast Procedures

​

Under the age of 18

​

Anemia

Anemia is a condition characterized by a deficiency of the hemoglobin content of red corpuscles. These clients will bleed more profusely and will take longer to heal, therefore we would.

​

Allergy to anesthetics

If you are allergic to anesthetics we will most likely not be able to proceed with this treatment.  Some clients may wish to proceed with the treatment without anesthetics, however, we advise against this in most cases.  For individuals who have been hypnotized or trained to undergo procedures without anesthetic exceptions will be made at our discretion.

​

Birth Marks & Port Wine Stains

These cannot and must not ever be treated with Plasma Fibroblast Therapy

​

Pregnant / Breastfeeding

Plasma Fibroblast Therapy cannot be performed on anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding.

​

Diabetes

Diabetes can affects the body's ability to heal and delay wound healing so this condition would not be recommended for cllients with diabetes.

​

Dry Eye

If treating the area around eyes we may need to use more eye lubricant and saline solution throughout the treatment to keep you comfortable.  This is a minor considerastion but something to make us aware of so that we can make sure you have the best experience possible.

​

Epilepsy

Only if it has been two years since your last seizure we may proceed with the Plasma Fibroblast treatment. The procedure does have the possibility to trigger an epileptic event, so we request that you arrange for a friend or family member to come with you to your appointment.

​

Laser EYE Surgery (LASIK)

If you have recently undergone any laser surgery for the eye, such as LASIK, it is recommended to wait 8-12 weeks post surgery.

​

Hay Fever / Seasonal Allergies

If your eyes are red, watering, puffy or the skin is inflamed and red at the time of your scheduled appointment we  will recommend delaying the Plasma Fibroblast procedure until symptoms have passed.

​

Hyperpigmentation / Hypopigmentation

An over-production or under-production of melanin which presents as darker or lighter patches of skin. Unfortunately, Plasma Fibroblast therapy is not appropriate for anyone with hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation.

​

Hemophilia

Hemophilia is contraindicated for Plasma Fibroblast Therapy and not safe for hemophiliac patients.

​

Herpes / Cold Sores / Fever Blisters

Herpes Simplex is a viral infection commonly referred to as a cold sore or fever blister – usually around the mouth. If you have ever had a cold sore, you are more likely to have an outbreak after Plasma Pen treatment in that area. Celebrity Skin suggests that you ask your physician for an antiviral treatment, such as Valtrex or acyclovir and begin this  at least 5 days before treatment and 5 days after treatment.  If client presents with an active lesion on the day of appointment we will not be able to proceed and will need to reschedule. 

 

While we usually require 48 hour notice for rescheduleing, we will always make exceptions for sudden or unforseen medical conditions so if you wake up with a cold on the day of your appointment we completely understand and will be hapy to reschedule you for a later date with no loss of booking deposit.

​

​

​

​

​

​

HIV / AIDS / Hepatitis

Plasma Pen is not safe for individuals with HIV / AIDS / Hepatitis or other immune disorders as immune disorders inhibit healing.

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

 

​

Kidney or Liver Disease

Celebrity Skin requests written consent from a doctor if you have kidney or liver disease.

Lupus

Due to the inflammation and swelling associated with lupus, the Plasma Pen treatment cannot be safely performed.

Mitral Valve Prolapse

If a you require antibiotics when you visit your dentist, then you will need to do the same prior to any Plasma Pen treatment.

Pregnancy

Like any cosmetic procedure, the Plasma Pen treatment comes with the risk of complications, including infection. These infections can cause risk to fetal health and even cause the loss of the baby. For these reasons, Celebrity Skin technicians will not perform Plasma Pen treatments on women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Retinal Detachment

Retinal Detachment is where the retina peels away from its underlying layer of support tissue. Initial detachment may be localized but without rapid surgical treatment the entire retina may detach, leading to vision loss and blindness. We ask that if you have experienced retinal conditions, that you obtain a written consent form from your ophthalmic surgeon prior to commencing Plasma Pen treatment in the eye area.

Skin Disorders (e.g. psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis)

All skin disorders can make the skin exceedingly dry and treatment more uncomfortable because the skin is usually thinner and more sensitive. It is not recommended to treat any areas with Plasma Pen that are affected by any of these skin disorders.

Scars (Hypertrophic, Keloid)

This type of scar is raised instead of being flat and does not grow, and remain within the perimeter of the original wound and flatten over time. When new, they are often purple/pink becoming more pink/white as they mature. Unfortunately, Plasma Pen is not an appropriate treatment for hypertrophic scars.

Shingles

Please wait 6 months after a shingles outbreak before undergoing a Plasma Pen procedure.

Sties or Conjunctivitis

If you suffer from sties or conjunctivitis, please wait at least 6 weeks following treatment prior to undergoing your Plasma Pen procedure. It is possible that the Plasma Pen treatment may cause the condition to recur if having the eye area treated. In some cases we may request written consent from your physician prior to commencing Plasma Pen treatment.

Thyroid

If you suffer from underactive thyroid, you may find that your healing time is slightly longer than typical.

Trichotillomania

If you are prone to picking, the Plasma Pen treatment may not be appropriate due to the increased risk of infection and hyperpigmentation associated with additional trauma to the skin caused by trichotillomania.

Vitiligo

Unfortunately, clients with vitiligo are not good candidates for Plasma Pen due to the risk associated with outbreaks in other areas of the body or face.

​

​

RESTRICTIONS

The following conditions affect the healing process and results of Plasma Fibroblast Therapy

and, therefore, must be taken seriously when considering this procedure.

SOME CONDITIONS MAY REQUIRE THE APPROVAL OF YOUR PHYSICIAN

Please read carefully for consideration of risks.

​

​

Skin Type

Skin type is very important when determining whether you are a candidate for Plasma Fibroblast Therapy. 

This treatment is only suitable for skin types 1, 2 and 3 on the Fitzpatrick scale. Anyone with hyperpigmentation OR skin types 4, 5 or 6 on the itzpatrick Scale are not able to receive treatment as this can cause hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation to occurr. 

​

​

​

​

Contact Lenses

CONTACT LENSES MUST BE REMOVED before any treatment close to the eye, and must not be used for up to 72 hours post-procedure. We cannot begin to stress the importance of ensuring contact lenses are removed pre-treatment.

​

Alopecia

This is an autoimmune disease resulting in hair loss. Sufferers may be more sensitive to treatment but there should be no problems treating alopecia sufferers with Plasma Fibroblast Therapy.

​

Asthma

Regular use of an inhaler can cause thinning of the skin and

increased vascularity, therefore, if you have asthma you may bleed more easily and bruise. Your skin may also be more sensitive and take longer to heal.

​

Blepharoplasty

Excess fat and skin are surgically removed from the upper and lower eyelid in this procedure. If you have had blepharoplasty, you must wait 1 year post-blepharoplasty (or longer if there is still pronounced redness in the area) before this treatment.

It is recommended to wait at least 21 days after BOTOX injections to proceed with Fibroblast Plasma treatment and to wait 3 months after recieving Plasma Fibroblast therapy to get Botox injections. 

​

Dermal Fillers / Injectable Fillers

It is recommended to wait at least 21 days after the filler has been administered before doing a Plasma Fibroblast treatment and to wait 3 months after recieving Plasma Fibroblast therapy to receive dermal fillers. 

 

ALSO - It is common for lips with large amounts of filler or fat in them to have slower or compromised healing. In some cases, the lips can become infected more easily during the healing process after working close to the lip.

​

Brow, Forehead, or Facelift

Please allow one year after your brow, forehead, or facelift to determine your suitability for Plasma Pen treatment.

​

Bruising or Bleeding Easily

Bruising or bleeding easily may indicate an underlying health problem, and if you are prone to bruise or bleed easily, you may take longer to heal from your Plasma Pen treatment.

​

Cancer / Radiation Treatment / Chemotherapy

If you have undergone radiation therapy or chemotherapy then we must allow one full year to pass before proceeding with this treatment. If you are undergoing alternative cancer treatments of any kind you must first check with your oncologist to find out when your blood count is most suitable to receive Fibroblast Plasma treatment, at which time we may proceed with a doctor’s written consent.

​

Cataracts

If treating any area near the eye we may proceed only with written consent from your physician.
