Plasma Fibroblast: Fixing Scarring & Pigmentation Issues

How to Address plasma fibroblast scarring and pigmentation

Plasma fibroblast treatment is a fantastic tool for skin rejuvenation, offering remarkable results for many clients. While complications like scarring and pigmentation can occur, it is crucial to understand that these issues are largely "preventable" when technicians adhere to correct protocols and possess proper training. This guide will provide in-depth insights into why these issues can happen and, more importantly, effective, professional remedies to ensure the best possible outcomes, emphasizing prevention at every step.

Understanding Post-Plasma Fibroblast Scarring and Pigmentation

When concerns like indents, pitting, or pigmentation spots appear, understanding their root causes is the first step toward effective remediation. It is paramount for technicians to avoid these complications from occurring in the 1st place by being fully trained before attempting these treatments, following the correct protocols, and educating their clients on the importance of their aftercare. 

Scarring complications, such as indents or pitting, are often avoidable and can occur due to several factors directly related to technique and client compliance:
  • Improper Device Use: The use of an unsuitable device can lead to issues.
  • Inexperienced therapist: Not enough training or practice.
  • Direct Skin Contact: The needle making direct contact with the skin can contribute to scarring.
  • Device settings: Arc settings set to high.
  • Prolonged Arc Application: Applying the arc for too long on a single area by the therapist can cause damage.
  • Client Non-Compliance: Failure to follow aftercare guidelines, such as scratching or prematurely removing scabs, significantly impacts healing.
Pigmentation spots, often known as Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH), are also a common concern. Sun or light exposure plays a significant role in their development.

Expert Tip for Technicians and Clients: Always emphasize the critical importance of strict aftercare compliance. Clients must refrain from picking or rubbing scabs and avoid sun exposure for a minimum of three months post-treatment. For technicians, especially those new to the procedure, it's advisable to be conservative: never apply the arc for more than two seconds on the same area. Instead, use the lightest setting with quick applications until you gain more experience.

Effective Remedies for Scarring and Pigmentation

Should scarring or indents occur, allow a full 8-12 weeks for initial healing before re-evaluating the skin. The skin needs this time to complete its natural repair processes.

Tackling Pigmentation Spots

For dark marks or spots, recommend that clients incorporate specialized products into their skincare routine. Products, for example, like Eucerin Even Pigment Perfector or PCA Skin lines are formulated to reduce dark marks and spots, promoting a more even and radiant skin tone.

These products are clinically and dermatologically proven to reduce hyperpigmentation and prevent its recurrence with regular use.

Professional Treatments for Scarring

If scarring, in an unfortunate event, did occur, the following treatments can help to make a difference:
  1. Light, Close-Together Plasma Fibroblast Quick Dot Application (Random Method): This technique involves applying quick dots on the area of concern to resurface indents. This method is effective for localized scarring.
  2. Light Plasma Fibroblast Spray Technique: This advanced technique, recommended only for experienced technicians, involves gently spraying the affected area to resurface the indents. This can be repeated 8+ weeks after the initial treatment, but not sooner, provided the skin feels normal and is no longer tender to the touch by the client.
  3. Mesotherapy: This minimally invasive technique involves injecting active ingredients into the superficial layers of the skin to stimulate, nourish, and regenerate without the trauma associated with other procedures. Mesotherapy is best initiated 8+ weeks post-plasma fibroblast treatment.
  4. TCA Peel & Microneedling Combination: This alternating approach is highly effective for scar tissue reduction and collagen stimulation.
    • TCA Peels: Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peels remove layers of damaged skin, reducing scar tissue. 
For post-plasma fibroblast scarring, a Superficial (10-15% TCA) or Light Medium (15-20% TCA) peel is recommended.
A 15-20% TCA peel is suitable for mild pitting and acne scarring, but only if the client's skin is fully healed, free from tenderness, active inflammation, or PIH.
Do not exceed 20% TCA strength unless specifically trained in deeper peels.

Important Safety Notes for TCA Peels: Always test on a small area first, especially if the client has a history of PIH. For clients with a history of pigmentation, prep the skin for 2-4 weeks prior with tyrosinase inhibitors (e.g., arbutin, kojic acid). This alternating schedule minimizes risk, supports the skin's healing process, and gradually improves texture.
    • Microneedling: This procedure stimulates new skin growth by rearranging collagen and elastin fibers.

Suggested Schedule:

  1. Week 0: Plasma Fibroblast Treatment
  2. Week 8+: TCA Peel (15-20%)
  3. Week 12+: Microneedling
  4. Week 16+: Repeat TCA or Microneedling (alternate)

Products to Support Healing and Repair

Beyond professional treatments, recommending the right products is crucial for supporting the skin's healing journey and improving texture. 
  • Stem Cell Aftercare Products with EGF/FGF: High-quality stem cell aftercare products like MARVEL Serum are rich in epidermal growth factors (EGFs) and fibroblast growth factors (FGFs). These ingredients are vital for promoting cellular regeneration and wound healing, stimulating the production of laminin and fibronectin, which are key structural components of the dermal junction. Increased EGFs and FGFs contribute to smoother, firmer skin and accelerate epidermal resurfacing.
  • Vitamin C (Oral & Topical): Oral Vitamin C intake is recommended for at least three months during and after treatment. For topical application, a Vitamin C serum containing 15-20% L-ascorbic acid, the most effective form, can be introduced 8 weeks post-treatment. Using it sooner could irritate the skin. Remember that Vitamin C is notoriously unstable, especially when exposed to air and light.
  • Collagen Peptides: Incorporating collagen peptides, such as Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides, can further support the skin's repair mechanisms.

Quick Notes for Product Application:

  • Eucerin Aquaphor is ideal for very dry, flaking skin, applied in a thin layer to prevent congestion.
  • For oilier or acne-prone skin, opt for Eucerin Urea Repair Plus 5% Lotion as a lighter alternative.
  • Always introduce a fragrance-free sunscreen around Day 5-10.
  • Avoid active ingredients like retinoids, AHAs, and Vitamin C during the first 2-3 weeks post-treatment.

Final Takeaway

By understanding the intricacies of healing and applying these professional remedies, technicians can ensure their clients achieve the best possible outcomes, fostering trust and delivering results and remember patience is vital, as it can take anywhere from three months to two years for these pigmentation issues or scars to fully fade and for the skin to return to its previous state.

Keep on Glowing!
