BENEFITS
Plasma Fibroblast is an alternative treatment to traditional cosmetic surgery. It is known to reverse the effects of aging without surgery, anesthesia, or injections. The plasma pen is a non-surgical instrument used to shrink and lift the skin using a sterile, disposable probe.
As we age, our skin does too. The supportive networks of fibers that were once abundant and flexible start to give way to an unwelcome laxity and looseness in our face and neck. Before we know it, we no longer recognize the person staring back at us in the mirror.
Until recently, surgical intervention like facelifts or liposuction was the only way to eliminate excess skin. Now, there's non-invasive Fibroblast Plasma Skin Tightening. This revolutionary no-downtime treatment that helps to revive natural levels of collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, and fibronectin needed for fresh, youthful looking skin.
​
What is Fibroblast Plasma Skin Tightening?
Fibroblast Plasma Skin Tightening is a cosmetic treatment that uses plasma, an ionized gas, to tighten skin non-surgically.
​
How Does it work?
Fibroblast plasma skin tightening is a new method used to eliminate wrinkles and regenerate sagging skin. This minimally invasive treatment uses a pen-like device which delivers electrical current just above the skin to create micro injuries to the outermost skin layer, creating small carbon dots when the arc reacts with the chemistry of your excess skin. The energy delivered to the skin removes old cells and stimulates fibroblast activity, encourages tissue regeneration and collagen growth within the upper layers of the skin, and causes contraction (tightening) of the skin.
This process creates instant tightening with visible results lasting three to five years, similar to a surgical procedure but without the scalpel or anesthesia, and with very little recovery time.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT
-
A consult to discuss your desired outcome, review the procedure, and complete a health history.
-
On the day of the procedure, please arrive makeup free and allow adequate time. Consent will be obtained, and desired areas will be confirmed. Photos will be obtained of areas to be treated for comparison.
-
A topical anesthetic cream will be applied to the skin and you will be checked at several intervals to ensure complete numbing. The procedure will be virtually pain-free. Length of procedure will vary based on area to be covered. All aftercare instructions and products will be provided. Photos will again be obtained after completion.
-
Following the procedure, redness and swelling will likely occur for a few days. Your skin may feel tight, similar to a sunburn. Tiny brown dots will remain on the skin for 4-9 days. This may not be as visible on naturally darker-skinned individuals. Please refrain from covering treated areas with makeup or any creams other than what is provided by the practitioner.
There are three phases of skin healing:
Phase 1 - Inflammatory Response (1-5 days)
From the first instance of skin tissue damage, the mast cells in the tissue release histamine, triggering the inflammatory response. Simultaneously, the capillaries and arterioles begin dilating and release plasma into the area as a part of the inflammatory response to injury.
The plasma contains nutrients, oxygen, antibodies and white blood cells, which flush away any foreign material from the site of injury. The plasma also acts as the carrier medium to bring fibre and other materials to clot and repair the damaged area.
After the initial rush of the inflammatory response, leucocytes and the later arriving macrophages remove the dead tissue and foreign material and the fibre in the tissue is slowly dissolved.
Phase 2 - Regenerative phase or Fibroblastic Phase (5-28 days)
Once the wound is ready to move into the repair phase "collagen synthesis" takes place.
Phase 3 - New Collagen Production
Fibroblasts found in the dermis proliferate and migrate to the base of the wound (with the help of a glycoprotein called fibronectin) to produce new collagen tissue. Fibronectin acts as a conduit for fibroblasts, and it binds the wound and the fibroblast, allowing the fibroblast to march down the fibronectin and build up in the wound.
Once in the wound, the fibroblasts begin to synthesize collagen fibers and produce fibronectin and GAGs like hyaluronic acid. Collagen is the major protein fibre in the dermis and Type Ill collagen (wound collagen) appears in the wound first... about 4 days after an injury. Type Ill collagen is replaced by Type I collagen, which constitutes 90% of the total collagen in the body. Type I collagen is a mature collagen tissue and has a greater tensile strength. Wound collagen is an immature collagen tissue and does not provide a great deal of tensile strength to the skin.
After forming a sufficient amount of collagen fibers, the fibroblasts transform either into fibrocytes or myofibroblasts, the latter having contractile properties. By causing the wound to contract, the amount of space the new tissue must fill is reduced, speeding up the healing process. Collagen fibers tightens and shrinks the scar tissue so it becomes less obvious.
**Trauma from Plasma energy stimulates the fibroblasts
to produce more collagen and elastin, resulting in skin tightening & lifting.

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation may be caused by allergic reactions, mechanical injuries (picking acne lesions), reactions to medications, photo toxic eruptions, burns, bruising and inflammatory skin diseases from eczema/dermatitis. Remember darker skin is more prone to post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
UV light can cause Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation to darken, thus SPF (Sun Protection Factor) is an essential part of aftercare.
Optimal treatment for PIH includes prevention of further pigment deposition and clearing of the deposited pigment. Chemical peels work best when used in combination with topical bleaching regimens.
