I confirm that I understands the risks and conditions associated with Plasma Shower treatment and that it is an elective procedure.
Dr Platon is a safe, non-invasive and effective treatment. It employs the aesthetic technology of cold atmospheric plasma.
It transforms the air between its tip and the patient’s skin (mainly Oxygen and Nitrogen) into a plasma state - highly charged gas, with unbound ions and free electrons. This plasma is highly beneficial to the skin, yet is safe to the touch (temperature of 38-40 ⁰C) and causes no skin ablation. Therefore, patients do not require any downtime post-treatment.
Treatment by the Dr Platon cold atmospheric plasma is highly effective in:
Acne treatment - It destroys P. acne bacteria and balances sebum production.
Reducing skin inflammation and blemishes
Soothing irritated, dehydrated, and itchy skin, in cases of chronic skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, or seborrhoea.
Brightening the skin and reducing hyperpigmentation.
Improving absorption of active ingredients by the skin, thus increasing the impact of active ingredients.
Rejuvenating the skin - Triggering division of the basal cells and production of new collagen, strengthening the skin immune system and the epidermal barrier.
Contraindications
I understand that there are certain contraindications/precautions that would preclude me from receiving treatment including:
An electronic device (e.g., a pacemaker, cochlear implant) is permanently attached to the patient’s body
The patient’s body is attached to life-support electronic devices or to any installation-type electronic devices (e.g., electrocardiograph)
Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding
The patient suffers from Epilepsy (especially dangerous)
The patient suffers from an unstable heart condition
The patient suffers from unstable, insulin-dependent diabetes

Please note: Injections of Botox, silicone or hyaluronic acid dermal fillers to the face, even in the past several days, are not a contraindication for treatment by Dr Platon.
Possible risks and complications
Dr Platon is a safe treatment. Cold plasma may temporarily increase the photosensitivity of skin. Plasma also temporarily increases epidermal permeability, failure to follow aftercare advice and using unsuitable products post treatment (containing for example AHA or Retinol), may cause reactions.
Post treatment advice
Following your Plasma Shower treatment, your skin will continue to absorb anything that is applied after the treatment for up to 12 hours. It is therefore VERY important that nothing is applied to the skin for 12 hours unless approved by your practitioner.
Cold plasma may temporarily increase the photosensitivity of skin so daily application of a gentle sunscreen with a minimum of 30 SPF is highly recommended after each treatment and during the treatment course.
DO NOT apply any solution containing alcohol to the area. Clean as necessary using water. If soap is needed use
only non-perfumed, non-colored soap, for example, CLINICCARE Concentrated Cleansing Foam.
DO NOT apply any type of AHA, Retionol or exfoliation products for at least 12 hours post treatment as this can irritate the skin.
No makeup can be worn after the treatment for 12 hours.
DO NOT participate in activities that may cause excessive sweating for 12 hours after treatment.
Refrain from extreme temperatures such as intensive sun light, saunas, sunbeds and steam baths for 12 hours
Avoid electrolysis, waxing, bleaching (face), depilatory creams, laser hair removal for at least 72 hours.
Do not swim in chlorinated water for 12 hours.
Please report any concerns to your practitioner as soon as possible.
Schedule a follow up treatment with your practitioner.
