While plasma fibroblast therapy is generally considered safe for most individuals, there are certain contraindications that may increase the risk of complications or interfere with the safety and effectiveness of the procedure. It's essential for individuals considering plasma fibroblast therapy to be aware of these contraindications and discuss them with a qualified practitioner before undergoing the treatment.

Some common contraindications to plasma fibroblast therapy include:

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Plasma fibroblast therapy is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Hormonal changes during pregnancy and breastfeeding can affect the skin's sensitivity and may impact the healing process after the procedure.
• Active skin infections: Individuals with active skin infections, such as bacterial, viral, or fungal infections, in the treatment area may not be suitable candidates for plasma fibroblast therapy. The procedure can exacerbate existing infections and may increase the risk of complications, such as inflammation or scarring.
• Skin conditions: Individuals with certain skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, rosacea, or active acne, may not be suitable candidates for plasma fibroblast therapy. These conditions can affect the integrity of the skin and may increase the risk of adverse reactions or poor healing after the procedure.
• Open wounds or lesions: Plasma fibroblast therapy should not be performed on areas of the skin with open wounds, cuts, abrasions, or lesions. The procedure can cause further injury to the skin and may delay the healing process.
• History of keloid scarring: Individuals with a history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring may be at an increased risk of developing excessive scar tissue in response to plasma fibroblast therapy. The procedure can stimulate collagen production and tissue regeneration, which may exacerbate existing scarring or lead to abnormal scar formation.
• Autoimmune disorders: Individuals with autoimmune disorders, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or scleroderma, may have compromised immune systems and may not be suitable candidates for plasma fibroblast therapy. The procedure can trigger an immune response and may exacerbate symptoms of autoimmune conditions.
• Recent cosmetic procedures: Individuals who have undergone recent cosmetic procedures, such as laser treatments, chemical peels, or injectable fillers, in the treatment area may need to wait until the skin has fully healed before undergoing plasma fibroblast therapy. Previous procedures can affect the integrity of the skin and may interfere with the healing process.
• Use of certain medications: Individuals taking medications that affect blood clotting, such as blood thinners or anticoagulants, may have an increased risk of bleeding or bruising during plasma fibroblast therapy. It's essential to disclose all medications, supplements, and herbal remedies to your practitioner before undergoing the procedure.

It's essential to have a consultation before undergoing a plasma fibroblast to discuss any underlying medical conditions, concerns, or contraindications.

A thorough evaluation will help determine the safety and suitability of these treatments
for your individual needs and ensure a positive treatment outcome.

Before undergoing plasma fibroblast therapy, it's essential to follow specific pre-treatment guidelines to ensure a safe and successful procedure and minimize the risk of complications.

Here are some common pre-treatment guidelines for plasma fibroblast therapy:

• Consultation: Schedule a consultation to discuss your skin concerns, treatment goals, and medical history. I will assess your skin condition and determine if you are a suitable candidate for a Plasma Fibroblast, and provide personalized recommendations for your treatment plan.
• Medical history: you must provide a comprehensive medical history, including any underlying medical conditions, allergies, medications you are taking, and previous cosmetic procedures. This information will help determine if you candidate for plasma fibroblast therapy and tailor the treatment to your specific needs.
• Avoid blood-thinning medications: If you are taking blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or certain herbal supplements, consult with your healthcare provider about discontinuing or adjusting your medication regimen before plasma fibroblast therapy. These medications can increase the risk of bleeding or bruising during the procedure and may interfere with the healing process afterward.
• Skin preparation: In the days leading up to your plasma fibroblast therapy appointment, avoid using harsh skincare products, such as exfoliants, retinoids, or acids, on the treatment area. These products can irritate the skin and may increase the risk of post-treatment complications. Stick to gentle, non-abrasive skincare products to keep the skin clean and moisturized.
• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your plasma fibroblast therapy appointment to keep your skin hydrated and moisturized. Hydrated skin is more resilient and can help promote optimal healing after the procedure.
• Avoid sun exposure: Minimize sun exposure to the treatment area in the days leading up to your plasma fibroblast therapy appointment. Sunburned or tanned skin can be more sensitive and prone to irritation during the procedure. Wear sunscreen or protective clothing to shield the skin from UV rays if you must be outdoors.
• Active skin conditions: if you have any active skin conditions, infections, or lesions in the treatment area. You will need to postpone the procedure until the skin has fully healed to reduce the risk of complications.
• Follow provider's instructions: Follow any additional pre-treatment instructions provided at your consultation. This may include avoiding certain activities or skincare products that could interfere with the procedure or compromise the results.

By following these pre-treatment guidelines and communicating openly with your practitioner, you can help ensure a safe and successful Plasma Fibroblast with optimal results.

During a plasma fibroblast appointment, you can expect the following steps:

• Consultation: Before any Plasma fibroblast treatment you are required to have a consultation. During this consultation, we will discuss your skincare concerns, goals, and expectations. I will assess your skin type, condition, and suitability for plasma and provide personalized recommendations based on your individual needs.
• Consultation on Treatment day: We will commence each treatment with a review of your treatment intake form and safety questions. This will sent to you 48hrs prior to complete.
• Preparation: The treatment area will be cleansed thoroughly to remove any makeup, oil, or debris.
• Treatment planning: The
  treatment areas will be marked with a cosmetic pencil or marker to guide the
  placement of the plasma fibroblast device.
• Plasma fibroblast application: Using a handheld device that generates a plasma arc to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the skin's natural healing response, leading to collagen production and skin tightening. The device may be applied in a grid pattern or specific design, or sprayed to remove lesions. Placement is dependent on the treatment goals.
• Sensation during treatment: You may experience a sensation of heat and a tingling or burning feeling during the plasma fibroblast application. The compounded topical numbing cream (that you arrange) helps minimize discomfort, but some individuals may still feel sensations associated with the treatment.
• Plasma sparks: As the plasma fibroblast device is applied to the skin, small sparks of plasma are generated. These sparks create micro-injuries in the skin's surface, contributing to the collagen induction process. The appearance
  of plasma sparks is normal during the procedure.
• Duration of the procedure: The duration of a plasma fibroblast appointment can vary depending on the size of the treatment area and the complexity of the treatment plan. In general, the procedure may take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours.
• Post-treatment care: After the plasma fibroblast treatment is complete, It is recommended to add-on a LED session to help the healing. You will be provided post-treatment care instructions. This may include recommendations for cleansing the treated area, applying healing ointments, avoiding certain skincare products, and protecting the skin from sun exposure.
• Initial results and downtime: Some results of plasma fibroblast therapy may be visible immediately after the procedure, but the full effects develop gradually over several weeks as the skin heals and collagen production increases. There will be some redness, swelling, and tiny scabs or crusts in the treated area, and these usually subside within a week or two.
• Follow-up appointments: Depending on the treatment plan and individual response to the procedure, you may schedule one or more follow-up appointments to assess your progress, address any concerns, and make any
  necessary adjustments.

Following plasma fibroblast therapy, it's crucial to adhere to specific post-treatment guidelines to promote proper healing, minimize discomfort, and achieve optimal results.

Here are some common post-treatment guidelines for plasma fibroblast therapy:

• Keep the treated area clean: Gently cleanse the treated area with a mild, fragrance-free cleanser and lukewarm water twice daily to remove any debris, dried blood, or ointment. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleansers that
  may irritate the skin.
• Apply healing ointment: Applying a thin layer of healing ointment or moisturizer to the treated area to keep it hydrated and promote optimal healing. Use only products recommended and avoid using petroleum-based products, as they can interfere with the healing process.
• Avoid picking or scratching: Resist the urge to pick, scratch, or peel any scabs or crusts that may form on the treated area. Allow the scabs or crusts to slough off naturally as part of the healing process to avoid scarring or pigment loss.
• Protect the treated area from sun exposure: Minimize sun exposure to the treated area in the days and weeks following plasma fibroblast therapy. Sunburned or tanned skin can be more sensitive and prone to irritation during
  the healing process. Wear sunscreen with SPF protection and protective clothing to shield the treated area from UV rays when outdoors.
• Avoid makeup and skincare products: Refrain from applying makeup, moisturizers, or skincare products to the treated area for at least one week after plasma fibroblast therapy. These products can contain ingredients that may irritate the skin or interfere with the healing process.
• Avoid hot baths and saunas: Avoid hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, and hot tubs for at least one week after plasma fibroblast therapy. Exposure to excessive heat can increase swelling and discomfort and may interfere with the healing process.
• Limit physical activity: Minimize strenuous activities, such as heavy lifting, vigorous exercise, or activities that cause excessive sweating, for at least one week after plasma fibroblast therapy. These activities can increase blood flow to the treated area and may prolong the healing process.
• Attend follow-up appointments: Follow any scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, assess your healing, and address any concerns or questions you may have.
• Be patient: It's normal for the treated area to undergo temporary changes, such as redness, swelling, and minor discomfort, as part of the healing process. These symptoms typically subside within a week or two, and the
  full results of plasma fibroblast therapy may take several weeks to develop as collagen production increases and the skin tightens.
• Collagen remodeling: Plasma fibroblast therapy stimulates collagen production and tissue regeneration, leading to gradual improvement in skin texture and tightness over time. While some results may be visible immediately
  after treatment, the full effects of collagen remodeling may take several weeks to months to develop.

By following these post treatment guidelines and communicating openly with your practitioner, you can help ensure a safe and successful recovery from IPL skin treatment with optimal results.
