FIBROBLAST SKIN TIGHTENING
What to expect after your procedure and aftercare
*When you leave your appointment, you must protect the treatment area from the sun. A big hat, glasses or umbrella can be used. No sunscreen, or makeup can be used until the carbon crusts have fallen off. Upon arriving at home, use the cold compresses if needed.
Healing phase 1: The inflammatory response (1-5 days)
-Mast cells release HISTAMINE, that leads to the inflammatory response
-Carbon Crusts present on the skin up to approximately 5-7 days.
-Do not pick, scratch or remove the carbon deposits. This could cause hypo-pigmentation or scarring.
-Do not get wet for up to 24 hrs.
-Keep area clean from debris
-Do not use makeup
-No sun (UV) exposure -No solarium, swimming, gym
Swelling: You will notice most of the swelling on the morning after your treatment, particularly around the eyes. Swelling usually lasts 2-3 days. However, if can last up to 3 weeks, depending on the intensity of the treatment and the healing ability of the patient. To minimize swelling, do the following: Apply cold compresses up to 4 times the first hour after treatment. This will relieve inflammation and excess heat. Please consult with your doctor about taking an Asprin or anti-inflammatory to help with residual pain or swelling in the treated area. Sleep elevated the first night for to minimize swelling on treated facial areas.
Redness: Most redness resolves 7-10 days after treatment. A “rosy” glow can remain for several weeks after the treatment, again, depending on your healing ability, age, medications, metabolism, etc.
Dry Skin: Your skin may feel dry, peel, or flake. You may notice a “sand paper” texture a few days after treatment. This is treated tissue working its way out of your body as new, fresh skin in regenerated.
Bronzing, Crusting and Small Dark Spots: A Fibroblast treatment causes destruction to microscopic cylinders of skin which then exfoliates during the healing process. Fibroblast can make the skin look bronzed or small, circular carbon crusts will appear (DO NOT PICK, SCRATCH OR REMOVE). Scratching or rubbing off any carbon deposits may result in hypopigmentation of the skin that may not be able to be reversed, as well as scarring. Please refrain from all scratching, rubbing and picking and treatment areas.
Healing phase 2: Regenerative phase or Fibroblastic phase (5-28 days)
-Carbon crusts fell off -New baby skin is present -You can use makeup -Avoid Sun! (Wear your aftercare products, but most importantly the sun block. -Normal activities can be performed.
Healing phase 3:
-Wound is healed -No sun exposure (UV) -Wear sunscreen and protective accessories and clothing. -Normal activities. Use sunscreen for a minimum of 6 weeks post procedure and avoid tanning beds. Retin A and bleaching creams can resume 6 weeks after treatment.
Aftercare is EXTREMELY important to achieve your desired results. An aftercare kit will be provided. It is of the utmost importance to follow this aftercare. Listed below are the details of the provided aftercare products necessary for healthy healing. Please use the products as listed. You can layer the products, meaning you can use After Care #1 for the first 24 hours as stated, but you can apply it throughout the entire healing process by applying it as your first layer of product. After 24 hours you can use product 1 and 2. Just make sure to apply product 1 first, and then product 2 as the second layer. Once you start after care product #3, you can layer all 3, with the 3rd being the last layer of product you put on.
