How quickly will you see results from the procedure?

The results do take time to develop. Most candidates will start to notice a difference after a few weeks, but best results may take up to 3 months after the treatment.

How long do the results last for?

Plasma Fibroblast procedure results typically last for three years, but this would depend on your skin care routine, sun exposure and the natural aging process of the candidate.

How many sessions are required?

Approximately 1 – 3 treatments are recommended, spaced 3 months apart. This might be prolonged depending on each individual candidates healing process. This would also depend on the severity of the skin’s condition and could require more or less.

Does Plasma Fibroblast hurt after the treatment?

Yes, slight discomfort might occur. It is normal to expect redness and swelling but this will subside after a day or two. If the post treatment guidelines are adhered to the healing process will be quick.

Is there any downtime / side effects after having this procedure?

Most candidates will require about 1 week of downtime and see results over the course of several weeks.

Immediately after your treatment you can expect your skin to be red and swollen (especially around the eye area), skin peeling, crusting scabs, mild hypo-pigmentation (light spots) or mild hyper-pigmentation (dark spots).

Scabs / crusts usually fall off around day 6 – 7 (for face and neck). It is extremely important NOT to pick / scrub these scabs off as there will be a chance of pigmentation / scarring.

Again this is a general guideline and differs with each candidate.

If you have any health issues, there might be a delay in the healing process.

Is it normal to have swelling after Plasma Fibroblast?

Temporary swelling is normal as the area being treatment is recovering from a deliberate controlled wound.

Applying ice and an anti-histamine will reduce swelling.

When do the red dots from the scabs disappear after the fibroblast procedure?

The dots will disappear within one to two months.

Healing times might differ for each candidate.

Can Plasma Fibroblast lighten stretch marks?

Plasma Fibroblast can improve the appearance of stretch marks and loose skin.

The procedure shrinks and tightens the stretch marks by creating plasma flashes between the Ablase Plasma device and your skin.

Is Plasma Fibroblast better than micro-needling?

Plasma Fibroblast is proven to provide quicker, more visible, effective treatments with a longer result.

Can you have Botox after Plasma Fibroblast treatments?

It is recommended that no botox or fillers are done 21 days prior or post Plasma Fibroblast treatments.

Any surgical procedures on the same area must wait for at least 9 months post Plasma Fibroblast treatments.

Can Plasma Fibroblast cause pigmentation?

During the healing process, the area may appear darker, this process is called post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The pigmentation using subsides within 3 to 6 months post treatment.

Is it recommended to have Micro-Needling after having Plasma Fibroblast treatments?

It is recommended to wait f weeks between Plasma Fibroblast and Micro-Needling treatments.

It is important for the full inflammatory response to take place with the Plasma Fibroblast, as Micro-Needling may draw some of that inflammatory response away from the Plasma Fibroblast treatment area.

It is recommended to do it every 4 weeks.

PLASMA FIBROBLAST STAGES OF HEALING AFTER TREATMENT

Plasma Fibroblasts are responsible for collagen production in your skin and it can only be produced when swelling takes place.

So Swelling is a good thing! DO NOT PANIC!

You can take an anti-histamine to assist with this.

What to expect:

Day 1

Keep your head propped up with pillows. Do not lay horizontal.

The swelling will be worse in the mornings.

You may find it difficult to open you eyes in the morning if your eye area has been treated, but it will subside during the day.

Your skin will feel like it has been sunburnt and will be tight.

Day 2

The swelling will peak around day 2 – 3.

Remember that swelling in the morning is worse. Swelling can also spread to under the eyes, this is normal. The fluids from the upper eye will drain to the lower eye area. You will still experience discomfort on day 2.

Day 3

The swelling will start to subside and the “dots” will darken.

Day 4

You may still experience some swelling around the eye area.

Pain and discomfort should have subsided.

Dots should start to dry and your skin should feel tight.

Day 5

No more swelling and scabs will be present.

Remember not to pick at the scabs and persist with the aftercare recommendations.

Day 6 – 10

Scabs will start to fall off on their own.

It is normal for the skin underneath to be pink and peeling, the healing will now be from within and will take a few weeks to heal.

Weeks 2 – 8

After the scabs have fallen off, your skin may be tender or textured for a few days / weeks.

Once your skin isn’t tender, you can start using a gentle exfoliator to slough off peeling skin.

You may also use a healing serums, lotions and make up.

As each day passes your skin will return to a healthy pink colour and improved texture.

Remember it will take 12 weeks for the healing process to cycle through completely and for skin to be refreshed and for healing to complete. (You may continue to see results for up to 6 months.)

Depending on laxity and desired results, you may want to have multiple treatments on the same area. Areas may be treated every 3 months to let the collagen heal and turn over.
