Fibroblast

There is no special pre-treatment needed.

It is advisable that you do not apply any cosmetic products on the treated area (especially those containing alcohol).

Profesional skincare products with ingredients such as retinol, Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), Retinoin or any type of vitamin A derivatives should be avoided.

During the consultation you should mention all recent surgical or aesthetic procedures.

• Be gentle with your lashes. No touching, rubbing, sweating, swimming in the ocean/pool,washing your face with hot water for the first 24 hours.
• Avoid running water directly on your lashes.
• Avoid oily products (including some sunscreen products) on or near your lashes.
• If you insist on mascara, only use water based mascara and apply it middle to tip avoiding root area.
• Use water based eye makeup remover only!
• Do not perm or curl your lashes.
  Avoid sleeping on your new eyelashes.
• Do not pull on your lashes. This may cause your natural lashes to come out prematurely.
• Maintain extensions with regular touch up appointments.

First, the topical anaesthetic (cream)is applied, minimizing the risk of pain and numbing the treated area.

The anaesthetic takes effect 25 minutes after the application.

The procedure itself does not last long. 20-30 minutes depending on the area .

The duration of the treatment (with anaesthetic application) 60-90 minutes.

When we do not perform treatment:

• If client has darker skin ( Fitzpatrick scale skin type 6).
• If client skin is prone to scarring/keloid scarring (usually darker skin).
• If client skin has:
• Severe acne.

• If client has taken Accutane in the past year.

It can be caused by infestation, allergic reactions, mechanical injuries( picking acne lesion) or reactions to medications, photo toxic eruptions, burns, bruising and inflammatory skin diseases from eczema/ dermatitis family.

Darker skin is more prone to post- inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

This type of pigmentation can darken with exposure to UV light and with the use of various chemicals and medications, thus it is highly important to point out to the client that after the treatment direct contact with sun rays (UV radiation)and use of chemical products on the treated area should be avoided.

SPF ( Sun Protection Factor) is of a key importance and an essential part of after care.

The after care is the most important part of the Fibroblast-Skin Tightening treatment, as we by no means wish for the inflammation or hyperpigmentation of the treated area to occur.
There are three phases of skin healing:

• Phase 1
  Inflammatory response / wound healing (5-7 days).
• Phase 2
  Regenerative phase or Fibroblastic phase (5 or 7-28 days).
• Phase 3
  New collagen production

The aftercare collection consists of three healing-based creams that are used for after Fibroblast SkinTightening treatments.
After any cosmetic treatment it is important that we treat our skin well, not only so we get great results, but so we are protected from any complications.
Our aftercare creams are labelled 1, 2 and 3 for simple use.
