Understanding the Connection Between Menstruation and Pain Sensitivity in Plasma Fibroblast Treatments

As a plasma fibroblast technician or client, understanding how the body responds to treatment is essential for better results and greater comfort. One factor often overlooked? 

"The timing of the menstrual cycle"

Hormonal fluctuations throughout the cycle don’t just affect mood or energy levels—they can also impact pain management, inflammation, healing, and bruising after plasma fibroblast treatment. This guide explains how and why your cycle plays a role, and what both clients and technicians need to know to plan treatments effectively.

Why Pain Sensitivity Increases During Menstruation

The Hormonal Factor

During menstruation, estrogen and progesterone levels drop significantly. This hormonal dip can:

  • Increase pain sensitivity

  • Heighten inflammation

  • Raise the risk of bruising or swelling

  • Prolong healing time for some individuals

These changes can make plasma fibroblast treatments feel more uncomfortable if performed during this part of the cycle.

Planning Around the Cycle for Better Comfort

Best Time to Book a Treatment

To optimize comfort and reduce potential side effects, it's generally recommended to schedule plasma fibroblast treatments outside of your menstrual window. The best time is typically:

  • Week 2 of your cycle (just after your period ends), when estrogen is rising and pain sensitivity is lower.

This timing supports smoother treatments, less inflammation, and quicker recovery.

What About Post-Menopausal Clients?

For clients who are post-menopausal and no longer menstruate, these concerns are largely irrelevant. Here’s why:

  • Hormonal Stability: Estrogen and progesterone levels are no longer fluctuating, leading to more consistent skin behavior and pain responses.

  • No Cyclical Inflammation: Without monthly shifts, there’s no hormone-related increase in inflammation, sensitivity, or bruising.

  • Flexible Scheduling: Appointments can be scheduled at any time based on personal preference, health status, and your recovery needs.

Tips for Technicians: Educate your Clients

Communication is Key

If you’re a newly trained plasma fibroblast technician, one of the most valuable things you can do is to inform clients, especially menstruating individuals, about this. 

Key talking points include:

  • Discussing optimal scheduling to minimize pain

  • Explaining why certain weeks may feel more intense

  • Encouraging clients to share health details like cycle timing, medications, or sensitivity

"This not only builds trust but also ensures better results and happier clients"

Pro Insight: Always Customize Treatment Timing

No two clients are the same. Some may feel minimal discomfort even during their cycle, while others notice heightened sensitivity. Use the menstrual cycle as a guideline, not a rule, and always prioritize:

  • Open consultations

  • Awareness of cycle timing

  • Client preferences

This personalized approach improves both the client experience and your professional reputation.
