Plasma Fibroblast
Remove unwanted wrinkles, tighten and rejuvenate skin! Can last up to 3 years after a single session! - Coming soon
Plasma energy causes the superficial layer of the skin to contract and encourages the body's natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining youthful, firm skin.
Plasma fibroblast therapy, also known as fibroblast skin tightening or plasma pen therapy, is a non-invasive, non-surgical cosmetic procedure used to tighten and rejuvenate the skin. The treatment works by creating controlled micro-injuries to the skin using a device that generates plasma energy, which is created when the ionized gases in the air (between the device tip and the skin) produce an arc of plasma.
This plasma energy causes the superficial layer of the skin to contract and encourages the body's natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for maintaining youthful, firm skin.

Avoid Sun Exposure:
Stay out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds for at least 2-4 weeks before the treatment. Sunburned or tanned skin is more prone to complications.
Discontinue Retinoids and Exfoliants:
Stop using retinoids (Retin-A), chemical peels, or any exfoliating treatments on the targeted area at least 1-2 weeks before your appointment, as these can make your skin more sensitive.
No Botox or Fillers:
If you’ve had Botox or dermal fillers, make sure there's at least 3-4 weeks between those procedures and your plasma fibroblast treatment.
Stay Hydrated:
Drink plenty of water leading up to the treatment. Well-hydrated skin responds better to the procedure.
Consultation and Patch Test:
It's advisable to undergo a consultation with the practitioner and get a patch test done to check for any adverse reactions, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Avoid Blood Thinners:
If possible, avoid taking blood thinners like aspirin, ibuprofen, or alcohol for at least 48 hours before treatment, as these can increase the risk of bleeding or bruising.
Clean Skin:
Ensure the area being treated is clean, free of makeup, lotions, or other skincare products on the day of the procedure.
-
Redness, Swelling, and Scabbing:
What to Expect: Immediately after the procedure, the treated area will be red and swollen, and small dots (carbon crusts) will form. These scabs will naturally fall off in 5-7 days.
What to Do: Avoid picking or scratching the scabs, as this can lead to infection or scarring. Let them heal naturally.
Avoid Sun Exposure:
Protection: Protect your skin from direct sunlight for at least 2-3 months post-treatment. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen daily to prevent hyperpigmentation and allow proper healing.
Hats and Sunglasses: Wear protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses when outdoors.
Cleanse Gently:
After 24-48 hours: You can start gently washing the treated area with a mild, non-alcoholic cleanser. Avoid scrubbing or using exfoliants until the skin has fully healed.
Do Not Soak: Avoid soaking the area in water (swimming, hot tubs) until it’s fully healed to prevent infection.
No Makeup or Skincare Actives:
For at least 7 days: Avoid applying makeup, especially on the treated areas. Refrain from using active skincare ingredients like retinoids, acids, or vitamin C until your skin is fully healed.
Moisturizing and Healing Creams:
Soothing Creams: Apply a healing cream or ointment recommended by your practitioner (such as aloe vera, a mild antibiotic ointment, or a special plasma fibroblast aftercare balm) to keep the area hydrated and promote healing.
No Harsh Products: Avoid using alcohol-based toners or astringents, as they can irritate the sensitive skin.
Avoid Heat and Sweat:
No Saunas or Intense Exercise: For the first week after treatment, avoid saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms, and intense workouts that could cause excessive sweating and delay healing.
Hydration:
Drink plenty of water to aid in the skin’s recovery and to keep it hydrated from the inside out.
Follow-up Appointment:
Some practitioners may schedule a follow-up visit to assess the healing process and ensure that everything is progressing as expected.
-
Day 1-2: Swelling and redness are at their peak.
Day 3-7: Scabs (carbon crusts) will form and eventually flake off.
Day 7+: Swelling subsides, and new, tighter skin starts to become noticeable, but full healing and results may take several weeks.

The treatment itself can last between 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the size of the area being treated. Pre-treatment consultation and numbing may add time to the session.

A topical anesthetic (numbing cream) is applied before the treatment to minimize discomfort. Some patients experience a mild tingling or heating sensation during the procedure, but it’s generally well-tolerated. Post-treatment, the skin may feel tight or tender.
-
Recovery usually takes around 5 to 7 days. During this time, you may experience swelling, redness, and small scabs (carbon crusts) that fall off naturally. Complete healing of the skin and final results can take several weeks.
-
Before treatment: Avoid sun exposure, tanning, retinoids, exfoliants, and Botox/fillers for several weeks.
After treatment: Avoid direct sun exposure, heat (saunas, intense exercise), makeup, and skincare with active ingredients (e.g., acids, retinoids) until fully healed. Do not pick at the scabs.

Common side effects include:
Redness and swelling
Carbon crusts (scabs) in the treatment area
Mild discomfort or tightness These usually resolve within a week. Rare side effects include infection, scarring, or changes in skin pigmentation (especially in individuals with darker skin).
-

No, results are not immediate. While you may notice some improvement as the scabs fall off, the full effects become more visible after a few weeks as collagen production increases and the skin tightens. Final results typically appear after 6-8 weeks.
-
Most people see significant improvement after just one session, but depending on the severity of the skin issue and the individual’s response to treatment, additional sessions may be recommended. Typically, 1-3 sessions spaced 8-12 weeks apart are sufficient for optimal results.
-
Yes, when performed by a trained and certified professional, plasma fibroblast therapy is generally safe. However, like any cosmetic procedure, there are some risks such as infection, scarring, hyperpigmentation, or hypopigmentation if aftercare instructions are not followed properly.
-
The procedure may not be suitable for:
People with darker skin tones (due to a higher risk of hyperpigmentation)
Pregnant or breastfeeding women
Individuals with active skin infections or open wounds in the treatment area

es, but you should allow enough time between treatments. It’s important to consult with your provider to determine the best combination of treatments and ensure they are spaced out safely to avoid overstressing the skin.
These are the most common questions patients ask when considering plasma fibroblast therapy. It’s important to consult with a certified professional to determine if this treatment is suitable for you and to get personalized advice.
