Fibroblast Skin Tightening: Understanding The Procedure and Benefits

Fibroblast treatment has many different titles: Fibroblast skin tightening, Fibroblast wrinkle remover, Fibroblast Plasma Lift, Fibroblast mole remover, etc. They all refer to the same treatment administered with the plasma pen and convey the versatility of this revolutionary technology. Fibroblast has been widely utilized in Europe, however, it has only recently reached the US beauty market. Despite being extremely safe and pain-free, the treatment gives results that could only be achieved with a surgical procedure. In this article we will take a look at candid clients’ results of Fibroblast treatment performed at AskCares, will explore the treatment process, and will identify the best areas for the treatment.

How does it work:

Fibroblast Skin Treatment is performed using a plasma pen and under topical anesthetic cream. An electrical arc is discharged from the plasma pen. At the multiple places on the treated area where the plasma pen is used, the discharge leaves micro craters in the skin which heal in form of dots. The skin around the dots naturally shrinks to heal the micro craters which cause the skin stretching effect.After about a week the scabs from the dots will fall off revealing multiple pink dots in their stead which will gradually fade over time. This is no cause to be concerned about, and it is the normal recovery process. Skin peels can be used on the treated area to facilitate the fading of the dots, however, they are not required as the dots will disappear completely by themselves within one or two months, exact healing times vary from person to person. Depending on the original skin condition, more than one treatment of Fibroblast may be needed to achieve the desired result. At a personal or video chat consultation AskCares estheticians will be able to advise on the optimal number of treatments you will need. Most clients will be satisfied after a single treatment, however, up to 3 consecutive treatments may be performed on the same area to achieve very dramatic results even on aged skin

Before Your Treatment

1. Avoid any kind of tanning (Spray tanning, tanning injections, sun tan- ning and tanning beds) for 2 to 4weeks before your treatment, espe- cially if you are naturally darker skinned. You may even wish to con- sider using a natural Tyrosinase Inhibitor to helps ensure there is no overproduction of pigment in the skin aka hyperpigmentation.

2. Avoid any other type of proce- dures on the same area which you intend to have treated with Fibro- blast, such as laser therapy, chemical peels, Botox, fillers, as this may prevent your treatment being per- formed by your technician at the time you want it.

  • No facial acids (Retin A, salicylic, glycolic) 14 days before or 21 days after Fibroblast.

  • No Botox or fillers 21 days before or after Fibroblast.

  • No Micro needling/PRP 21 days before or after Fibroblast.

  • No laser or peels (depending on intensity of peel) for 90 days before or after Fibroblast.

  • Surgical procedures like face lifts you must wait at least 9 months postop/before Fibroblast.

AFTER-CARE

  • Wash face with a mild cleanser like dove soap twice a day and apply healing serum, hyaluronic acid based producy. Do this till the scabs are off usually takes a few days to one week, using hyaluronic acid will speed up healing process and eliminating redness.

  • As treated area begins to heal , you will notice the drying out process whereby a brown/black crust develops on the surface of the skin. This will flake off after a few days but in some cases can take up to 10 days.

  • DO NOT PICK !!!! – The crusting as it can lead to infection or scarring. It is important to keep this area clean.

  • It is strongly advised that you use sunscreen SPF 30-50 sunscreen (throughout the year including the colder months) to avoid sunburn, as the area’s sensitivity to sunlight will be heightened for up to 3-4 months post Fibroblast Lift procedure.

  • Boiled lukewarm water is best for cleaning the treated area.

  • DO NOT use alcohol based cleansers, acid cleanser or cleanser that has too many chamical in it. It might cause irritation, burning and will slow down the healing process.

  • If at any time the treated area (s) become too hot, red or show signs of pus, please contact us or your doctor for advise as you may be developing an infection.

  • It is important that these crust are not removed (never scratch, otherwise a scar will remain). Instead twice daily in the morning and in the evening, carefully clean the areas, then disinfect it with distilled water spray and gently dab with a clean, lint-free cloth. Then apply apply provided ointment twice daily.

  • After the independent peeling of the scab crusts (typically the 5-8 days), pink/red skin forms.

  • Swimming and Sauna are only permitted 3 weeks after procedure and once all the crusts have fallen off the skin surface and is completely healed and closed.

  • Smokers may experience a significant worsening of the blood flow, which increases the risk of wound healing and/or slowed healing.

  • Note that after the crusts are lost a slight redness may remain in the following area treated in the weeks or months. It takes 4-6 weeks (sometimes longer) until the skin has reached it’s normal color again.

  • Follow up treatment will not be before 8 weeks from the first treatment date.


CONTRAINDICATIONS?

Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not get a treatment. The treatment is also not advised for candidates with very dark skin. This is because the risk of discoloration.


WHAT KING OF SIDE EFFECTS CAN I EXPECT?

Fibroblast has been shown to be a safe non-invasive procedure when done by a fully certified technician. However, as with most cosmetic procedures, patients are likely to experience some minor side effects in the first five to ten days after treatment. There will be some tiny brown marks in the treatment area. This is the result of scabbing and will flake away over a week or so, exposing a pink layer of healthy new skin. Some patients will also experience three to five days of swelling, especially with eyelid treatment. There is no damage to surrounding areas or deeper skin layers. To avoid sides effects, follow the aftercare instruction given to you prior to your treatment.


WHAT TO EXPECT ON YOUR DAY OF TREATMENT?

On the treatment day, it is recommended you come in with clean skin. A NUMBING agent is placed on treatment area and left to take effect for 30 to 45 minutes, When the area is sufficiently numb the treatment will begin. During the treatment you may feel some heat and minor irritation. Swelling may intensify over the following few hours when eyes are treated and may last 2-3 days. Treatment time will last from 45 minutes and up to several hours depending on the size of the treatment area. During your first appointment you will be given aftercare instructions and after care. Following these instructions is critical for best results. No exfoliators or harsh cleansers can be used in the week following treatment. You should also avoid rubbing or scratching the treated area.


POST -TREATMENT EXPECTATIONS

Final results are visible 6 weeks after treatment. Follow up treatment may be performed after 6-8 weeks depending on your skin’s healing.

MAY I USE MAKEUP AFTER THE FIBROBLAST TREATMENT?

No. Do not use makeup after the treatment for the first 5-6 days after the treatment, until the crusts fall off, use the gentle cleanser provided and apply ointment softly to the treated area. When the crusts fall off, you may apply some makeup if necessary.


HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

Results can last 1-2 years. Unfortunately it does the stop from natural aging and maintenance is necessary. The positive effects of treatment will be noticeable immediately after the first treatment, and continuing over 4 weeks. Additionally, there are lifestyle factors that can prevent the result from lasting as long as they can, such as smoking, alcohol. consumption, and prolonged sun exposure.
