Everything You Need To Know About Fibroblast Skin Treatment

As we age, our skin undergoes many changes, the most common of which are stretching and sagging. The fibroblast skin treatment has become one of the most popular and most reliable methods to reverse the effects of sagging skin.

In particular, fibroblast skin treatments are widely used to combat wrinkles, which are a common element of aging skin. As a natural process, between one and two percent of collagen production, is lost per year. This results in the loss of the skin's natural tension. The treatment, which is non-surgical, safe, and effective, is done by stretching the skin using medicine plasmaplaced by electricity.

While many other treatments can address these complications, fibroblast skin treatment is one of the most common and effective. It is also considered a non-invasive aesthetic treatment because recovery time and aftercare are minimal.

We will explain everything related to this innovative method for the treatment of wrinkles and facial sagging. When you have all the information you need, you will be able to decide whether or not this method is suitable for your needs and therefore make a wise decision regarding any rejuvenation treatments available in the aesthetic market.

Fibroblast Skin Treatment: Essential Issues

When we talk about fibroblasts skin treatment, the main issues involve the way it is conducted, the results it produces and when they can be observed, as well as what areas of the body can be treated.

For this reason, we developed the following items that address some questions about the Fibroblast skin treatment.

What is Plasma Treatment of Fibroblasts?

Let's start by explaining how it works. Fibroblast skin treatment is a non-invasive aesthetic procedure that helps tighten and remove excess skin or wrinkles and fine lines.

This treatment is specifically aimed at working fibroblasts, which are cells that are responsible for producing collagen and proteins of the dermis (middle layer of the skin). In the process of healing wounds or skin lesions, fibroblasts are essential for recovery and maintaining the firmness of the skin.

To perform the plasma treatment of fibroblasts, a device similar to a wand or a pen with a disposable metal probe (single use) is used, which makes a high-frequency electric shock that creates small lesions in the middle layer of the skin. Sublimation of the tissue occurs during this discharge, which accelerates the skin's recovery process and stimulates fibroblast cell growth at the same time.

Treatment involves a series of points or microlesions applied to the area of the skin prone to aging, which causes the tissue to contract and at the same time tighten in order to create a more youthful appearance since the skin stretches and contracts to eliminate wrinkles and excess skin.

Skin sublimation

To better understand how fibroblast skin treatment works, it is important to know what skin sublimation means. The sublimation of the skin occurs when a solid element is converted into gas directly without first passing through the liquid state.

At this stage, the skin cells affected by the electric current retract and harden, generating firmness in the treated area. The sublimation of the skin creates an immediate stretching effect that can be maintained if performed in a prolonged manner as it stimulates the natural process of collagen production.

What it feels Like During the Procedure

Pain is minimized with local anesthesia for this treatment, but it may become a little irritating after a while. After applying the anesthesia, it begins with small discharges of electrical energy. You will feel a little burning in your skin during this phase since it heats up as the treatment is applied. However, the local anesthesia will help block the pain and allow it to be bearable.

Recovery Process

Once the fibroblast skin treatment is applied to the target area, it begins to heal naturally. After the treatment has been completed, you will usually see small spots that form crusts, but after a week, they should fall off, and you should notice your skin becoming firmer and smoother.

Like any aesthetic treatment, aftercare is very important to achieve positive results and prolong its effects for a longer time. It is quite normal that ,you notice redness in the area after the treatment, so it is necessary to treat your skin gently.

In view of the sensitivity of the skin after treatment, balm medications to help the healing process are recommended, as well as sunscreen to prevent further skin lesions.

In order to prevent complications, makeup should be applied after 48 hours of the treatment has been applied.

It is important to remember that the evolution of the results and the number of treatment sessions that are needed will depend on the type of skin and the recovery capacity of each one since both the recovery and reaction processes are different for everyone.

Step by Step of the Application of Plasma Treatment of Fibroblasts

Although we mentioned it before, we want to establish here a more precise breakdown regarding the steps that are carried out during the procedure and its application:

1. The treated area must be cleaned thoroughly to proceed with the application of local anesthesia (usually used in cream). It usually takes between 25 and 30 minutes for its effect.
2. After the anesthesia takes effect, the dot pattern is performed on the treated skin area through the plasma pen.
3. After the treatment, a refreshing gel is applied to relieve the tingling or burning sensation. Usually, the whole procedure takes approximately between 30 minutes and 1 hour.

Benefits of Fibroblast Skin Treatment 

With time, the results of fibroblast skin treatment will become more obvious.

This procedure has several benefits as it is a non-invasive aesthetic treatment. It is an alternative to other procedures such as lasers or the application of facial Botox.

One of the main benefits of fibroblast skin treatment is that its application will improve the texture of the skin. It can be seen smoother and more firmly, giving it a healthier and more youthful appearance.

Some studies indicate that the stimulation of skin fibroblasts can help the production of collagen up to a year after its application.

Thanks to its ability to firm the skin, it is used not only to treat wrinkles and sagging but also to fill some areas such as the lips.

Areas of the Body You Can Treat

• Brow
• Forehead
• Around the mouth
• Eyelids
• Neck and décolleté

Reviewing who is a suitable candidate for fibroblast treatment is very important. Naturally, people with common aging symptoms (mild or moderate) are the best candidates for this treatment, but there are some conditions to consider before taking this step.

The fibroblast skin treatment is not recommended in some situations: if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, those with skin conditions should abstain, as should people with very dark skin, those who have allergies to anesthesia, and finally, you should not apply treatment with fibroblasts while using isotretinoin (to treat acne or wrinkles).

Precautions Related to the Fibroblast Skin Treatment

Before performing this or any type of aesthetic treatment, the most important preventive measure is to make sure it is conducted in a licensed aesthetic center with the proper permits. This will give a greater assurance of the most optimal results and will allow us to prepare for any complications beforehand.

Health and safety issues are so essential that it is not allowed in countries like Canada if it is for aesthetic purposes. This decision originates because some specialists and the devices they use to apply the treatment have not been fully verified as safe or effective.

In other words, it is a procedure that should never be performed at home because even though there are devices on the market that claim to serve the same function, it is a treatment that should only be undertaken by professionals in a controlled and safe environment.

In addition, it is important to note that in the eye area (especially), great care must be taken with the application of the treatment because this is a very sensitive area. Topical anesthesia can cause severe complications if you are allergic to it, so it is advisable to have a skin diagnosis performed before the treatment.

You will feel more confident when performing the procedure if you pay attention to these considerations and consult an appropriately prepared professional.
