HOW DOES FIBROBLAST PLASMA SKIN TIGHTENING WORK?

Fibroblast Plasma skin tightening is relatively new in North America, but has been safely and effectively performed in Europe for many years. Fibroblast Plasma has increased in popularity due to its many advantages over surgery. There is less downtime, it’s less expensive, no cutting of the skin and no stitches. This means you can return to work even sooner. The precision device works by utilizing the voltage in the air between it’s tip and the skin, to form a plasma charge. An electrical arc is created and instantly shrinks the targeted skin. This micro-trauma stimulates new collagen (neocollagenesis). The tissue retraction and tightening gives results that are comparable to invasive surgery. A series of tiny brown spots placed to attain the desired result for the excess skin. The skin around the spot tightens pulling the cells closer together. It’s the only non-surgical treatment option known to effectively reduce excess skin.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE REQUIRED?

Further treatments can be carried out to get better results, although is is uncommon to require more than two treatments. Appointments must be spaced out by 8 weeks.

WHAT KIND OF SIDE EFFECTS CAN I EXPECT?

Fibroblast Plasma has been shown to be a safe non-invasive procedure when done by a fully certified technician. However, as with most cosmetic procedures, patients are likely to experience some minor side effects in the first five to ten days after treatment. There will be some tiny brown marks in the treatment area. This is the result of scabbing and will flake away over a week or so, exposing a pink layer of healthy new skin. Some patients will also experience three to five days of swelling, especially with eyelid treatment. There is no damage to surrounding areas or deeper skin layers. To avoid sides effects, follow the aftercare instruction given to you prior to your treatment.
