Plasma Fibroblast Safe Medications That Protect Results

Managing discomfort during plasma fibroblast treatments is one of the most common concerns for both technicians and clients. While the procedure offers powerful, natural skin rejuvenation, choosing the right pain medication is critical. Using the wrong type of painkiller, especially anti-inflammatory drugs, can interfere with the body’s healing response, ultimately reducing the effectiveness of the treatment. This post outlines the safest medications to use before and after plasma pen treatments and explains why preserving the skin’s natural inflammation process is so important.

Understanding Pain Relief and the Healing Process

Plasma fibroblast treatment works by creating a controlled micro-injury that triggers the skin’s natural healing cascade. This involves a temporary inflammatory phase, which is essential for activating fibroblasts and stimulating new collagen and elastin. The very process that tightens and revitalizes the skin relies on this response. For that reason, it's vital to avoid any medication that blocks or suppresses inflammation, especially NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).

Medications to Avoid: What Not to Use

Popular over-the-counter medications such as Ibuprofen (Nurofen, Myprodol), Aspirin, and Voltaren (Diclofenac) may reduce pain, but they also suppress inflammation. In the context of plasma pen healing, this can result in poor collagen formation, delayed recovery, and even an increased risk of bruising or bleeding. These medications can undermine your results by interfering with the body’s built-in repair mechanism.

Instead, choose non-inflammatory pain relief options that effectively reduce discomfort without affecting healing. These medications are widely available and vary in strength:

  • Panado / Tylenol (Paracetamol 500 mg): Mild and effective for most clients. Take 1–2 tablets 30–60 minutes before your session. No prescription needed.

  • Gen-Payne (Paracetamol + Codeine + Caffeine): Offers moderate pain relief. Often available over the counter. Take one capsule 30–60 minutes before treatment.

  • Adco-Dol: A stronger prescription option with Paracetamol, Codeine, Meprobamate, and Caffeine. Best for clients with low pain thresholds.

  • Panamor Co / Lenadol Co (Paracetamol + Codeine 15–20 mg): Stronger prescription option. One tablet 45–60 minutes before treatment are usually sufficient.

  • Dolorol (Paracetamol + Codeine 30 mg): Ideal for highly sensitive clients undergoing more intensive areas like full face, neck, or lips. Very effective but requires a prescription from your general practitioner.

These medications do not contain anti-inflammatory agents and are safe to use before and after plasma fibroblast procedures.

Technician Tips and Pre-Treatment Guidance

If you're a newly trained plasma fibroblast technician, it’s essential to review pain relief options during the client consultation. Always ask about known allergies, sensitivities to codeine, or prior reactions to painkillers. Make clear that you are not prescribing but merely sharing general, experience-based options. If a client needs stronger medication or is extremely anxious, recommend that they speak to their healthcare provider. In some cases, a mild sedative (such as Ativan or Xanax) may be appropriate, but only under professional supervision.

Best practices for technicians:

  • Pain medication should be taken 30–60 minutes before the procedure.

  • Never provide or recommend prescription drugs directly.

  • Refer clients to a doctor for approval or if stronger pain relief is needed.

  • Avoid NSAIDs entirely for at least 24–48 hours before treatment. and avoid NSAIDs for at least the first 72 hours after treatment. If ongoing pain relief is needed, continue using paracetamol (Panado/Tylenol) or doctor-approved alternatives that do not suppress inflammation.

Why Choosing the Right Medication Matters

Pain management is about more than comfort—it’s about protecting the healing process that leads to lasting results. When you choose medications that allow the body to fully engage its inflammatory repair phase, you support stronger collagen production, firmer skin, and smoother recovery. Avoiding anti-inflammatories ensures your clients get the maximum benefit from every session.
