General Health Conditions
- Alopecia
– A condition causing hair loss, including eyebrows, eyelashes, facial
hair, and body hair. Individuals with alopecia may have increased
sensitivity to the treatment.
- Anaemia
– Iron deficiency anaemia can lead to increased bleeding and delayed
healing.
- Asthma
– Regular inhaler use may cause skin thinning and increased vascularity,
leading to easier bruising and longer recovery times.
- Autoimmune
diseases – Conditions such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis may impair
healing and increase the risk of complications.
- Blepharoplasty
Surgery – Plasma fibroblast treatment can only be performed at
least one year after eyelid surgery to allow the scar to heal fully.
- Cancer
(active or within the past five years) – Patients undergoing or recently
treated for cancer may have weakened immune systems, affecting healing. A
doctor’s written approval is required.
- Diabetes
(uncontrolled) – Poorly managed diabetes can lead to delayed wound healing
and increased infection risk.
- Heart
conditions – Individuals with heart disease or a history of heart
attacks may face a higher risk of complications.
- Haemophilia
or other clotting disorders – These conditions increase the risk of
excessive bleeding and slow healing.
- Hepatitis
& Liver Disease – Impaired liver function can hinder proper
healing. A doctor’s approval is required before treatment.
- HIV/AIDS
– A weakened immune system can result in higher infection risk and slower
healing times.
- Kidney
Disease – Individuals with chronic kidney disease must obtain
written consent from their doctor before treatment.
- Lupus
– Due to inflammation and swelling associated with lupus, plasma
fibroblast treatment is not recommended.
- Mitral
Valve Prolapse – Patients who require antibiotics before dental
procedures must also take antibiotics before plasma fibroblast treatment.

treatments may interfere with medical implants. Doctor’s approval is
required.

to potential risks.
- Thyroid
Conditions – Individuals with an underactive thyroid may experience a
slightly longer recovery time.
Skin Conditions & Sensitivities

- Bruising
or Bleeding Easily – Plasma fibroblast therapy may cause slower
healing.

Psoriasis, & Dermatitis – These conditions cause skin thinning and
sensitivity, making treatment painful and potentially harmful.
