Fibroblast Skin Tightening

Fibroblast Plasma Skin Tightening treatment is a completely revolutionary method that offers perfect facial rejuvenation. It is important to emphasize that Fibroblast Skin Tightening is a non-invasive technique in which no concussion or any other surgical instrument is used.

Plasma Skin Tightening is a non surgical cosmetic enhancement designed to shrink the skin using a sterile, disposable probe called “plasma pen”, which is used to produce plasma waves. The waves are directed as tiny light spots along the wrinkle lines. The tip of the pen never touches the skin (and the needle like attachment is a sterile, disposable, one-time use product).

The pen is held above the skin and a tiny plasma arc connects the tip of the device to the surface of the skin. Using plasma waves, the old collagen is removed by sublimation (evaporation), and fibroblasts are stimulated to produce new collagen. The targeted skin contracts and is essentially eliminated without any cutting, which results in the tightening and shrinking of the targeted skin.

This advanced procedure helps to revive natural levels of collagen, hyaluronic acid and fibronectin needed for fresh youthful skin. A series of tiny brown spots are strategically placed to attain the desired result. The skin around the dot tightens instantly, pulling the cells closer together.

The Procedure

Preparation +

A numbing cream is applied on the treatment area for 30- 60 minutes. When the treatment area is sufficiently numb the session begins.

During +

You may feel some heat in the treatment area, which may be uncomfortable and slightly painful (equivalent to sunburn discomfort). Treatment time is usually between 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

After +

Immediately after the treatment, you may experience a burning sensation, but it should only last a few hours. Your practitioner will provide you with thorough aftercare instructions and kit to ensure that you see the best results.

Results +

You will see immediate results after your treatment, but the best results will be seen after three weeks. If you require additional treatments it can be done at 8-week intervals.

FAQs

Does it Last? +

The results are permanent, although it does not stop your natural aging process, you should still see lasting results for years as they would with cosmetic surgery. For longer lasting results you should maintain a healthy lifestyle, regular skin care, avoid smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and prolonged sun exposure.

Am I a good candidate? +

As with most cosmetic procedures, if you are pregnant or nursing you should avoid this treatment. Although some darker skin types are suitable for the soft surgery procedure, it is not advised for those with very dark skin. This is because there is a higher risk of hyperpigmentation (dark spots) or hypopigmentation (light spots) following treatment, particularly if the carbon crust is disturbed by scratching, scrubbing or picking. Please see the general contraindications list for more detailed information.

How long does the area take to heal? +

Usually takes up to 5-7 days, redness may remain for up to 2 weeks. During the procedure crusts will form on the skin directly where the plasma treatment was applied.

Will I need multiple treatments? +

One treatment is usually all you need, but depending on the skin laxity and age more than one treatment may be required. No more than 4 treatments per area are suggested.

How will my skin look like after the procedure? +

The skin will have multiple dots on the surface area, and as healing occurs the skin will appear dry and flaky. In the first couple of days, redness and swelling will be present. Every individual results may vary and swelling can occur directly after treatment of for a week following.

Tenderness, redness and swelling are common side effects and are to be expected following the treatment. As the skin starts to heal, itching may occur. Other side effects are not limited to, but may include slight redness for a few weeks after the treatment, with a risk of scarring, infection and hyperpigmentation (darker skin) or hypopigmentation (lighter skin), being rare but possible.
