Fibroblast Plasma Therapy

Fibroblast Plasma Therapy is a new skin tightening procedure that is generating a lot of buzz in the medical aesthetics industry.  It delivers tiny arcs of plasma created by an electrical discharge via a plasma pen to the skin, thereby singeing the surface and tightening the underlying tissue.

Fibroblast plasma treatment is a non-surgical lift procedure that gives the same results as traditional surgery. This treatment does not require anesthesia. It is virtually painless with anesthetic applied locally prior to treatment.  A tiny plasma flash is administered to the skin in a micro-millimeter sized point.  This superficial point minimizes the skin in its immediate vicinity – which is intended to reduce the excess skin.  Patients are able to notice results right away.  Although, it takes 2-4 weeks for the full effect to be visible.

Fibroblast is designed to tighten and lift the skin.  It shrinks excess skin, crow’s feet, bags and wrinkles. Also, it’s known to be radical in wrinkle smoothing and eyelid tightening, reducing hooded eyelids.

Treatable Areas

Fibroblast is able to treat a number of imperfections without any actual cutting of the skin.  Fibroblast plasma is a new revolutionary non-surgical lift treatment that is highly effective and is a remarkably lower cost alternative to surgery for conditions such as:

  1. Eyelid Tightening, including under eyes and excess upper eyelid skin

  2. Skin imperfections, including skin tags and sunspots.

  3. Improvement in the appearance of acne scars

  4. Tightening loose stomach skin after pregnancy & stretch marks

  5. Lines and wrinkles around the mouth also known as smokers lines

  6. Jowls, Jawline definition and Neck Tightening.

  7. Knee Caps and Under Arms

  8. Nose sculpting – Nose contour or nose bulbous reduction

Does it Hurt?

Fibroblast is non-surgical treatment with no pain or minimal discomfort reported by patients. Topical cream is applied to numb treated area prior to procedure.

How Long Does It Last?

Fibroblast is more than a simple tightening treatment (skin volume is actually reduced), the effects should last as long as they would with invasive surgery.  Like all surgical and cosmetic procedures, the effects of fibroblast are not entirely permanent as it does not stop any further ageing.  Although, the positive results should last years depending on the area treated.  The positive effects of treatment will be noticeable immediately after the first treatment, but the final results will be seen after 8 weeks.  For some, an additional treatment may be required after 8 weeks for maximum results.  Additionally, there are lifestyle factors that can prevent the result from lasting as long as they can, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and prolonged sun exposure.

What To Expect-Side Effects And Risks

Plasma Pen has been shown to be a safe treatment due to its non-invasive nature when performed by a fully certified technician.  Still the majority of clients are likely to experience some minor side effects in the 7-10 days following treatment.  There will be small carbon crusts (little polka dots) in the treated area that will last 7-10 days before naturally lifting, revealing new pink skin beneath.  Swelling in the eye area is to be expected for a few days following an upper eyelid treatment.  To avoid any more serious side effects such as hyper-pigmentation, follow the aftercare recommendations given to you by your technician.

Who Is An Ideal Candidate?

  • The client must not display herpes simplex (cold sores when working in the lip area) It is recommended they consult with their medical Doctor and begin taking the prescription Valtrex 3 days prior to treatment and 4 days following treatment.

  • If the client wears a pacemaker avoid treatment with electrical arcing.

  • Clients who are pregnant or nursing are not ideal candidates.

  • Clients should have eyelash extensions REMOVED prior to eye lift treatment.

  • This treatment is only recommended on Fitzpatrick Scales 1 – 5

  • Treatment is not advised for dark brown and black skin , This is because there is a higher risk of hyper-pigmentation (dark spots) or hypo-pigmentation (light spots) following treatment.

  • How often can you have fibroblast?

  • Most of the clients might need 1 treatment, for the other 2- 3 further treatments may be recommended to get desired results. Appointments must be spaced out by at least 12 weeks.
