There is little to no downtime following the plasma pen treatment. You may notice scabbing or swelling, though most people go back to their normal activities very quickly. The most important thing to remember while your skin is healing is to not pick at the scabs–let them fall off naturally on their own. This will only take a few days up to a week, so be patient so you can avoid causing discoloration or permanent scarring to the area.
 

Once all the scabs and crusts have fallen off, you can go back to washing your face and applying makeup as normal, though you should still avoid direct sunlight for a few weeks as your skin remains highly sensitive.
