The plasma fibroblast treatment involves placing a so-called plasma pen onto the skin. This pen releases a targeted electrical arc, or ‘plasma flash’ just above the skin, which creates small holes to the skin’s layer. Further small holes are applied to create the same grid over the targeted area. This plasma flash effect is what causes the skin fibres to tighten.
According to an article in the PMFA journal, plasma fibroblast therapy breaks down proteins in the skin, encourages tissue regeneration and causes tissue to contract and tighten.
After treatment, the small dots scab over and this healing process helps tighten and firm the skin further. These scabs fall off in about two weeks and you should be left with tighter skin. Results are instant but the skin’s elasticity and tightening will continue to improve over time, post-treatment.
While fibroblast skin tightening treatments are most popular on the face, they can also be administered on the body. However, it’s most useful around the eyes and on the neck.
You can be expected to see the full results after around three months. The plasma fibroblast treatment results will then likely last for three years.
