If you are considering the option to undergo fibroblast plasma therapy, you may be wondering more about how this nonsurgical treatment will be able to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and what you can expect throughout the process. One of the biggest questions that we regularly get regards the idea of plasma therapy and the recovery process. Aftercare does often require a few weeks of treatment after you receive your treatment date. The results of this procedure can be permanent but you may need to continue after therapy to preserve these results. Here are some of the top tips for aftercare with fibroblast:
Do Not Pick or Scrub Scabs
Taking the opportunity to scrub or pick scabs can lead to the chance for hyperpigmentation, permanent blemishes, and infection. Picking at these areas is never a good option for you to take and scrubbing or picking at your scabs can lead to a series of poor health effects.
Lightly Dab Any Oozing
Oozing is a Natural reaction to the treatment and it is often the liquid plasma oozing around the scabby area. This is a natural wound healing response and the oozing will subside over a few days. Many patients have a tendency to scrub these areas when they’re in the shower or as they are cleaning their face. Lightly dab these areas to prevent more damage to the skin.
Keep Your Skin Hydrated
Part of the natural aftercare process involves regularly keeping your skin hydrated. Hyaluronic acid and natural moisturizers can be an excellent solution to hydrate as they can attract over 1000 times their weight in water. Moisture is extremely important to healing the skin and overcoming the process.
Ice The Area
Icing the area regularly can reduce swelling and redness. You may notice that swelling occurs directly after the treatment and some practitioners will apply a red LED light to improve healing and reduce the swelling process.
Avoid Alcohol-based Products
Alcohol-based facial cleansers, scrubs, or exfoliating masks should be discontinued for 12 weeks after your appointment. Cleaned off areas with water or gentle pH balanced cleanser and make sure that you are cleaning off the area at least twice a day in a gentle fashion.
Stay Away From Pools
Staying away from chemicals like chlorine or salt can be very important in the weeks after treatment. At least seven days after treatment you should avoid getting into a saltwater or chlorine pool or spa environment wherever possible.
Wear Sunscreen
After your treatment, you need to make sure that you are regularly wearing sunscreen. SPF 30 and above sunscreens need to be worn on a daily basis so you can protect your skin. Adding proper layer protection can prevent the chance that a sunburn could damage your skin further.
