What is a Plasma Fibroblast Skin Tightening Treatment?

The plasma fibroblast skin tightening is an effective non-surgical treatment to eliminate signs of aging including sun damage, photo-aging, wrinkles, and excess skin. Similar to other skin rejuvenation treatment (microneedling, peels, lasers), it uses body’s natural healing process to increase collagen and elastin production. The plasma pen device is used to discharge nitrogen plasma to the epidermis and dermis layers of the skin that creates microscopic skin trauma. The controlled damage to the skin created by plasma will appear like a carbon crust on the skin surface right after the treatment. The natural process of the skin after an injury is to heal where fibroblast cells begin to work by increasing its collagen production that results to tightened skin.

How does it actually work?

First, you need to understand how the skin ages. Our skin has 3 layers, the epidermis, dermis and subcutis. In the epidermis, the process of skin colouring happens due to its pigment producing cells called melanocytes. The dermis is made up of collagen and elastin fibres which are responsible for skin elasticity and strength.

As we age, the epidermis becomes thinner which makes blemishes like sun damage, old acne scars, and pigmentations become more visible. In the dermis, we starting to lose collagen which results to facial lines, sagging skin and wrinkles.

Within the dermis, the fibroblast cells can be found which are responsible for generating connective tissue and allowing the skin to recover from injury. The normal wound healing key processes are breaking down the fibrin clot, creating new extra cellular matrix (ECM) and collagen structures to support the other cells associated with effective wound healing, as well as contracting the wound. The wound contracting process tightens the skin when it is fully healed.

In plasma treatment, a plasma pen handpiece which is an ultra-high-frequency generator, ionises inert atmospheric nitrogen into an active plasma that delivers controlled thermal energy to the skin. The microscopic damage to the skin stimulates fibroblast healing process which results to increased collagen production. Once the collagen is produced, the skin strength and elasticity improved.

What Plasma Fibroblast can treat?

The plasma fibroblast treatment can improve the appearance of aging skin such as facial lines, excess saggy skin, wrinkles, and pigmentations. Below are the common signs of aging:

• Hooded saggy eyelids
• Undereye wrinkles
• Forehead lines and wrinkles
• Crowsfeet
• Wrinkles and saggy skin around nose and mouth area
• Wrinkles and saggy skin in other parts of the body like neck, stomach, hand etc
• Asge spots and discouloration (hyperpigmentation)

How long the Plasma Fibroblast effect lasts?

Plasma fibroblast treatment can last for 2-3 years at least until you start to lose your natural collagen again due to aging. The plasma result is also progressive which means it continues to improve months after the initial treatment. You can support the longevity result of plasma by taking other collagen inducing treatments like facials or supplements.

How many course of treatments do I need?

The result of the treatment varies on everyone. Some clients can see improvement in their skin with 1 session only, while some clients would need 2-3 sessions for best results. It is safe to plan for at least 2 sessions with 2-3 months interval.

Can plasma pen leave scars?

The fibroblast treatment cannot directly cause scarring unless the skin is not properly taken care of during the healing process. The scars can occur when the treated skin is directly exposed to the sun or the dots are forced picked and scratched. It is important that you follow the aftercare carefully.

How do I prepare my skin for the treatment?

It is important that you have already taking care of your skin prior to your Plasma treatment. The skin in good condition heals properly which gives better results.
