Plasma Fibroblast resurfacing is designed to maximize the results of your treatment within safe and realistic parameters. The number of treatments cannot be identified immediately even under the best of circumstances and experiences. Stable general health is key to excellent results and a more predictable outcome, for optimal health supports the regenerative process and promotes healing. A successful Plasma Fibroblast treatment is cumulative in the improvement of your skin health, vibrancy, elasticity, and resiliency.

As most skin rejuvenating treatments show, there may be some side-effects. However, post-treatment downtime and recovery from Plasma Fibroblast — including the end results — commonly show to be superior in non-invasive procedures. GOLDSIFT, be that as it may, is not in control on how regimented you are with your post-treatment care. So it is of utmost service to you to familiarize yourself with all information provided on this site, in whatever tangible material I give you, and to leave our session feeling confident in all areas of the Plasma Fibroblast process.

For most patients, Plasma Fibroblast is virtually pain-free, though your personal experience may be moderately uncomfortable and sensitive depending on where you are being treated. For reference, eyelid procedures where the skin is most delicate, can heighten sensitivity levels. My device and super-fine application tip allows me to work swiftly and succinctly minimizing any potential discomfort for you.

BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT:

It is recommended you avoid sun-tanning, spray-tanning, sunbed usage, and anything skin-tone altering for a minimum of 4 up to 6 weeks before your treatment. Preferably, I recommend using SPF 30 to prep your skin from 2 to 4 weeks before your service, especially if you are naturally darker complexioned. Your fairest baseline color is the ideal slate to work on.

Avoidance of any other type of procedure for 4 weeks on the same area which you intend to have treated such as laser therapy, or chemical peels, and ALL injections are non-negotiable. Discontinue any use of topical acids and retinols for a minimum of 10 days up to 30 days prior to appointment. Contact lenses and eyelash extensions must be removed prior to treatment when receiving services around the eye.

FOLLOWING YOUR TREATMENT:

You may not be looking your absolute best during the initial healing process which generally lasts between the first 5-10 days post treatment for areas neck and above. Lower extremities do take longer to heal but are easier to conceal in the meantime. For the first 24 hours no exposure to water is crucial. For the following days up until the carbon crusts naturally slough off it is recommended to avoid excessive exertion. Heat, steam, and sweat can amplify the inflammation already present. Avoidance of sun-exposure is also important, so as to not irritate the healing process or stimulate any possibility towards hyperpigmentation.

The aftercare products you are provided are smartly labeled 1, 2 , and 3. Indicating the days in which you may start applying them to your treatment area. There may be some mild to moderate swelling in the area(s) that have been treated, especially around the eyes. This should dissipate within the first 48-72 hours. NO additional skincare products, cosmetics, or occlusive dressing can be topically applied until ALL carbon crusts have fallen off and skin surface has fully healed. If you have received facial treatment, I recommend you sleep on your back with your head elevated to minimize swelling. If you have received treatment to your eye area then it is important you sleep slightly elevated for up to 7 days as this can greatly reduce swelling.

It is highly unlikely you will ever get an infection from Plasma Fibroblast. However, the first 12-24 hours post-treatment are of vital importance in protecting you from any kind of potential infection so please avoid any activities where you could expose yourself to contaminants. Including but not limited to: chemicals, fragrance, cigarette smoke, alcohol, and any setting that could disrupt the calming environment necessary to promote healing.

IN THE FOLLOWING DAYS AFTER YOUR TREATMENT:

It is normal for the area that has been treated to feel tight and dry, similar to a sunburn. Carbon crusts will quickly form on the treated area. DO NOT manually remove or exfoliate these from your skin as this will delay the healing process and could lend to scarring. The area(s) treated may be cleansed daily after the initial 24 hours period with lukewarm water and a soft, lint free cloth. Tend to your treatment area with the utmost delicate care.

It it advised to NOT stand directly under water when showering and to reduce the temperatures from hot down to warm for up to 5 days post procedure as such exposure and heat could increase swelling. Please be conscious of any hair products or perfumes that could come in contact with the treated area(s). If accidental contact with external product does happen, rinse thoroughly with tepid water and gently pat dry.

If you receive treatment around your eyes, you should avoid wearing contact lenses for 1 week after your treatment as pulling on your skin can disrupt the carbon crusts. When the crusts have fallen off your new skin may be a little pink as it is freshly revealed. This hue will fade over time in as little as 2 weeks up to a few months. In rare cases it may take up to 6 months.

Once the crusts have all fallen off you may apply your normal cosmetics but please avoid using skincare products containing acids or any other active exfoliating ingredients as they will cause irritation. You absolutely must NOT use sunbeds up to 10-12 weeks post-procedure healing-period, along with avoidance of direct sun exposure being highly recommended. All other facial treatments on the same area should be skipped while your skin is healing. Use of topical retinols and acids may only be resumed after 4 weeks for over-the-counter products and after 6 weeks for prescription strength formulations.

Absolute Contraindications to Plasma Fibroblast include, but are not limited to:

  • Anticoagulants (blood thinners of prescription strength and natural supplement form)

  • Cancer patients that have received chemotherapy and/or radiation

  • Immune deficient or immune-compromised

  • Accutane treatment within 1 year

  • Botox to area under 30 days

  • Filler to area under 30 days

  • Direct sun exposure under 30 days

  • Skin cancer or suspicious moles

  • Herpes Simplex (cold sores)

  • Conjunctivitis (eye infection)

  • Pregnancy or breast feeding

  • Hemophilia, hepatitis, HIV/Aids

  • Hyperpigmentation

  • Vitiligo

  • Shingles

  • Lupus

  • Active acne

  • Keloid scars

  • Steroids (cortisone)

COMMON SIDE EFFECTS AND Possible RISKS:

  • Swelling may occur and can be minimized by keeping the area upright.

  • Itching often times occurs as old skin is shed and the new skin is being formed.

  • Discomfort reminiscent of a sunburnt sensation may persist for a few days.

  • PIH or post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (darkening) and hypopigmentation (lightening) can arise from Plasma Fibroblast procedures. These conditions usually resolve within 2-6 months. Permanent color change is a rare risk. Vigilant care must be taken to avoid ALL FORMS of sun exposure before and after the treatment to reduce the risk of color change. After the skin has gone through its healing phase and is intact, appropriate sun-care is necessary to prolong and assist results.

  • Allergic reaction is uncommon from treatment. Some people have localized reactions to topical numbing agents(lidocaine). If this is known prior to procedure, you must inform me. If irritation arises during numbing period this should be addressed immediately at time of discomfort.
