Post Treatment Care Instructions
- DO NOT WASH TREATED AREA FOR 24 HOURS keep lesions completely dry. Softening of the brand-new scab with water may cause it to come off prematurely: the result is that the skin will take a longer time to heal. The scab forms to protect the fragile new skin cells. The body releases histamine to help trigger the cells which will assist the healing and create new healthy tissue.
- DO NOT SCRATCH THE TREATED AREA During the healing process, the area may become itchy, the treated area will transition from its fresh state to it’s healing state. During this period, you will likely experience an itchy sensation, which is attributed to the development of new skin. Doing the healing stages collagen is being released to create new skin, the new skin may be sensitive which may lead to more itching sensations. Do not pick or itch the healing area. Scratching the treated area could result in an infection or damaged cells.
- DO NOT APPLY ANY PRODUCTS ON THE TREATED AREA products that are not prescribed. It may cause irritation and affect the stages of healing which could result in infection. Only prescribed products during the healing phase can be used.
- DO NOT USE sauna room, steam room, swimming, and jacuzzi, long showers or activities that cause excessive sweating until the scab falls off. Excessive wetness of the treated area could cause the protective scab to fall off prematurely, which will delay the healing process.
- DO NOT USE ANY ACID OR EXFOLIATION PRODUCT four to eight weeks after the procedure.
Post Care Instructions
-
- MUST wear SPF Image Skincare sun prevention protection as prescribed
- DO USE prescribed first aid antibiotic ointment only: If you are experiencing redness around the treated area apply to area at night only.

- DO USE I Rescue Post Recovery Balm after the scab falls off. This multi-functional restorative complex with organic ingredients supports the regenerative processes of the skin after the SUPER FRECATOR PROCEDURE. I Rescue Post Recovery Balm dramatically is helping reduce trans-epidermal water loss, discomfort, redness and irritation with plant-derived botanicals and antioxidants. Developed by Plastic Surgeons for post care procedures. Certified organic ingredients to achieve exceptional recovery results.
How it works
The SuperFrecator is an easy-to-use, compact device with a high-frequency electrical current that delivers precise electrical sparks through the micro electric probe at different amplitudes to dehydrate a skin growth. It is an electrical treatment device, NOT an operating tool (such as an electrical scalpel). Therefore the client does not need to be grounded. Results are seen almost immediately. All treatments are permanent.
At almost all times, the probe remains apart from the tissue being treated and the current sparks across the gap causing dehydration of the skin growth. There is no blood associated with the treatment. The area is in fact, dehydrated, and a scab replaces the area where the growth originated. From this point on, new skin cells start regenerating from underneath. It usually takes about 1 week for smaller growth and up to 3 weeks for bigger and thicker skin growth before the scab fall off naturally. The treated area will heal and new healthy skin will return and gradually take on the color of the surrounding tissue.
Skin Tags
Skin tags are soft, small, harmless, flesh-colored or slightly darker skin growths that are most commonly found on the neck, the armpits, or the trunk.
They may appear elsewhere on the body, as well. The cause is unknown, but they commonly appear after middle age. They begin as small fleshy brown spots and may grow on a small stalk or stem. Skin tags never turn into skin cancer. The tendency to develop skin tags appear to be inherited (genetic). Some women develop skin tags during pregnancy.
Usually, skin tags cause no trouble, but they may be unattractive, and clothing or nearby skin may rub and irritate them so that they bleed or hurt.
A skin tag can be removed if it becomes irritated, bleeds, or causes embarrassment.
Cherry Angiomas (Ruby Spots)
Cherry angiomas (ruby spots) are harmless clusters of dilated tiny blood vessels (capillaries) that become more common after age 30. The cause is unknown.
Characteristics:
- Bright, cherry red, smooth spots appear most often on the trunk and upper legs but may also be found on the face, neck, scalp, and arms.
- The size of the spots may vary from pinhead size to about 0.64 cm (0.25 in.) in diameter.
- Although they are painless and harmless, cherry angiomas may bleed profusely if injured (until pressure is applied to stop the bleeding).
- Cherry angiomas do not generally require any treatment but they can be removed by different methods if their appearance causes embarrassment or distress.
Fibromas
Dermatofibromas are small red-to-brown bumps (nodules) that result from an accumulation of collagen, which is a protein made by the cells (fibroblasts) that populate the soft tissue under the skin. Dermatofibromas are common and usually appear as single firm bumps, often on the legs, particularly in women. Some people develop many dermatofibromas. Causes include trauma, insect bites, and cuts caused by shaving. They are harmless and usually do not cause any symptoms, except for occasional itching. Usually, dermatofibromas are not treated unless they become bothersome or enlarge.
Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation is a common, usually harmless condition in which patches of skin become darker in color than the normal surrounding skin. This darkening occurs when an excess of melanin, the brown pigment that produces normal skin color, forms deposits in the skin. Hyperpigmentation can affect the skin color of people of any race.
Age or “liver” spots are a common form of hyperpigmentation. They occur due to sun damage and are referred to by doctors as solar lentigines. These small, darkened patches are usually found on the hands and face or other areas frequently exposed to the sun.
Changes in skin color can result from outside causes. For example, skin diseases such as acne may leave dark spots after the condition clears.
Keratoses
Seborrheic keratoses are flesh-colored, brown, or black growths that can appear anywhere on the skin.
These harmless growths are very common in middle-aged and older people. Some people have a hundred or more. Although these growths can appear anywhere, they most often appear on the torso and the temples.
Seborrheic keratoses are round or oval and vary in size from less than ¼ inch to several inches. They appear to be stuck on the skin and often have a waxy or scaly surface. These growths develop slowly. They are not cancerous and do not become so. Dark brown keratoses may sometimes be mistaken for atypical mole or melanomas.
Treatment is not needed unless the keratoses become irritated or itchy or are cosmetically undesirable.
Cholesterol Deposits
Cholesterol Deposit or Xanthomas are fatty deposits that build up under the skin. Anyone can develop a cholesterol bump, but they are most common on the elderly and people with high blood cholesterol levels, according to the National Institutes of Health. A xanthoma can develop anywhere on the body, but they are commonly found on the elbows, knees, hands, feet, joints, tendons and buttocks. When a cholesterol bump forms on an eyelid, it is called xanthelasma palpebra. This condition is not typically associated with high cholesterol levels.
Dilated/Broken Capillaries
They are thread veins are capillaries that may have ruptured. They can occur at any age and affect any skin type, not just dry and sensitive skin. They occur most frequently on the cheeks, the bridge and sides of the nose, under the eyes and on the chin. They are caused by sun damage, alcohol, drinking very hot drinks such as tea or coffee, eating spicy food, high blood pressure, exposure to harsh weather conditions and steroid products applied on the skin.
Health & Recovery
The treated area will form an immediate protective scab, which can be from grey, light brown to dark brown or even black in color. Keep the treated area dry as possible. The scab should fall off naturally in average seven to fourteen days. Large skin growths may product two to three successive crusts and last up to three weeks. In an area of good blood supply and abundant subcutaneous tissue, healing will be rapid.
During the healing process, each skin type reacts differently based on the number of pigment cells in the skin. The body’s natural healing and defense mechanism start working immediately after the skin being treated with the Super Frecator 6800m device. After the scab falls off, the new skin appears to be very fresh and light pink in color. From that point on, the healing continues until the color blends into the original skin tone. There are different stages associated with this process based on natural response of the skin. The process involves color changes in the treated area which we call Post Inflammatory Pigment.
The following table shows the estimated timeframe it takes for the skin to blend into its original skin tone.
SKIN TYPE | SKIN COLOR ONE WEEK AFTER SKAB FALLS OFF | PIGMENT BLENDS INTO THE ORIGINAL SKIN TONE |
I | Light Pink to Medium Pink | 2-3 weeks |
II | Pink, Light Brown or Mauve | 3-6 weeks |
III | Brown to Dark Brown | 2 to 4 months |
IV | Brown to Dark Brown | 3 to 5 months |
V | Dark Brown | 4 to 6 months |
VI | Black | 5 to 7 months |
When working on arms and hands, legs and thighs, the recovery time takes longer. Arms and hands can take up to 6 months. Legs and thighs can take up to 12 to 15 months for healing.
