Plasma Fibreblast

What is Plasma Fibreblast?

Fibroblast skin tightening is a revolutionary new procedure. It provides an alternative to skin tightening without necessitating dangerous surgical procedures. You won’t need to go under the knife or miss weeks of work post-procedure with Fibroblast, but should still expect to see similar results as if you had.

Your esthetician uses an electric handheld device called a plasma Fibroblast pen for the procedure. This pen uses a metal probe to ionize atmospheric gas between its tip and the gasses that the skin naturally emits. This forms a plasma charge.

An electrical arc is then created, shrinking the targeted skin. Your tissues will retract and tighten, providing you with a more youthful-looking appearance. Skin elasticity and tightening will continue to improve as time goes on post-treatment, and your skin continues to heal and repair.

How is Plasma Fibreblast used?

Plasma fibroblast therapy is a nonsurgical treatment that may be used to treat the following conditions:

acne scars
photo aging, including age spots
seborrheic keratosis
wrinkled skin, including the eyelids, neck, jawline, and above the lips
Cosmetic specialists may also use plasma fibroblast therapy as an alternative to lip fillers to make the lips look fuller.

How does it work?

Plasma fibroblast therapy uses a pen-like device that discharges a high-frequency electric current to small areas of the skin.

The plasma tip doesn’t directly touch the skin, but instead releases a targeted current just above the skin. The hot current creates small holes, or micro-injuries, in the skin’s layer.

How is a Plasma Fibreblast procedure done?

While the procedure may vary slightly based on where you’re having the treatment, the basic steps typically include:

Cleansing the skin and applying a topical anesthetic (numbing) cream. You may need to wait about 30 minutes for the numbing cream to take effect.
Treating the designated skin area with the plasma pen. The pen will create small arcs of microcurrents that make small scab-like dots on the skin.
A professional will remove the numbing cream and apply a cooling gel to minimize the tingling and burning sensation whenever possible.
The procedure usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes to perform.

How long does a Plasma Fibreblast session last?

Fibroblast treatment length will depend upon the size of the area that’s being treated. You can expect the procedure to take anywhere between half an hour and two hours. A topical numbing cream will be applied before your treatment and given thirty minutes to take full effect. You’ll also be given a cream after your procedure to help in the healing process.
