Before plasma fibroblast treatment

Before undergoing a plasma fibroblast treatment, it is important to prepare adequately to ensure optimal results and minimize any potential risks. Here are some general guidelines to consider before your treatment:

Consultation: Schedule a consultation with a qualified practitioner who specializes in plasma fibroblast treatments. During the consultation, discuss your goals, expectations, and any concerns you may have. The practitioner will assess your skin condition and determine if you are a suitable candidate for the treatment.
Skin Assessment: The practitioner will examine your skin and assess its health and condition. They will identify any underlying skin conditions, such as infections or active inflammation, which may affect the treatment. It is important to disclose any relevant medical history, including previous skin treatments or allergies.
Sun exposure: Minimize sun exposure, especially in the treatment area, for at least two weeks before the procedure. Sunburned or tanned skin can be more sensitive and prone to complications during the treatment. If you need to be in the sun, use broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF and protective clothing.
Tanning beds: Avoid tanning beds or sunlamps before the treatment, as they can also darken and sensitize the skin.
Self-tanning products: Refrain from using self-tanning lotions, sprays, or other products that can darken the skin. The treatment is typically more effective on natural skin tones.
Avoid Certain Treatments: Refrain from undergoing other skin treatments, such as chemical peels, laser resurfacing, or dermal fillers, for a certain period before your plasma fibroblast treatment. This is to ensure that your skin is in the best condition for the procedure.
Skincare Products: Follow any skincare instructions provided by your practitioner. They may recommend specific products or advise you to discontinue the use of certain products before the treatment. This can include avoiding exfoliants, retinol products, or strong acids that may sensitize the skin.
Active skin conditions: If you have active skin conditions like sunburn, rashes, eczema, psoriasis, or open wounds in the treatment area, it's advisable to wait until these conditions have healed before undergoing the plasma fibroblast treatment.
Blood-thinning medications: Consult with your healthcare provider regarding any blood-thinning medications you may be taking, such as aspirin, NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), or anticoagulants. These medications can increase the risk of bleeding or bruising, so your practitioner may advise you to temporarily discontinue them before the treatment.
Medications: Inform your practitioner about any medications, supplements, or herbal remedies you are currently taking. They will advise you if any of these need to be temporarily stopped or adjusted before the treatment.
Hydration: Maintain good hydration by drinking an adequate amount of water in the days leading up to your treatment. Hydrated skin tends to respond better to cosmetic procedures.
Shave Treatment Area: If the plasma fibroblast treatment is targeting an area with hair, such as the face or body, you may be advised to shave the treatment area beforehand to ensure better contact between the device and the skin.

IMPORTANT

1 week before your treatment start to take slow release Vitamin C and Arnica to promote healing and reduce swelling.
Avoid any kind of tanning (Spray tan- ning, tanning injections, sun tanning and tanning beds) for 2 to 4 weeks before your treatment. Ideally, you should try to use SPF5O to prep your skin for 2 to 4 weeks before your treatment, especially if you are naturally darker skinned.
Avoid any other type of procedures on the same area which you intend to have treated with Plasma such as laser therapy, chemical peels, Botox, fill- ers, as this may prevent your treatment being performed by your technician at the time you want it.
No facial acids (Retin A, salicylic, glycolic) 14 days before and for 21 days after Your treatment.
No Botox or fillers 21 days before or after treatment.
No Micro needling/PRP 21 days before or after treatment.
No laser or peels (depending on in- tensity of peel) for 90 days before or after treatment.
Surgical procedures like face lifts you must wait at least 9 months postop/before a Plasma treatment.

Plasma fibroblast treatment, also known as plasma skin tightening or fibroblast therapy, is generally considered a safe procedure when performed by a qualified and experienced professional. However, like any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects that you should be aware of. These risks may vary depending on individual factors and the specific technique used. Here are some potential risks associated with plasma fibroblast treatment:

Swelling and Redness: After the treatment, it is common to experience some degree of swelling and redness in the treated area. This is a normal reaction and typically resolves within a few days or weeks. Applying cold compresses and following post-treatment care instructions can help minimize these effects.
Pain and Discomfort: Plasma fibroblast treatment involves the application of controlled heat to the skin, which can cause mild to moderate discomfort during the procedure. The healthcare professional may apply a topical anesthetic to minimize pain. However, individual pain tolerance may vary, and some discomfort may persist during and after the treatment.
Skin Sensitivity and Discoloration: The treated area may become more sensitive to touch and prone to discoloration, such as hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation. These changes are usually temporary but may take several weeks or months to fade. Avoiding sun exposure and using sun protection can help minimize the risk of discoloration.
Scarring: Although rare, there is a potential risk of scarring with plasma fibroblast treatment. Improper technique, excessive heat application, or poor healing can increase the risk of scarring. It's important to choose a qualified professional with experience in plasma fibroblast treatment to minimize this risk.
Infection: While infection is rare, there is a minimal risk associated with any invasive procedure. Following proper post-treatment care instructions and maintaining good hygiene can help minimize the risk of infection.
Other Potential Side Effects: Some individuals may experience other side effects such as blistering, crusting, or temporary changes in skin texture. These effects are typically temporary and resolve with time.

It's important to note that the severity and occurrence of these risks can vary from person to person. To minimize the risks and increase the chances of a successful outcome, it's crucial to choose a reputable and experienced healthcare professional who follows proper safety protocols and provides comprehensive aftercare instructions.
