PLASMA FIBROBLAST

PLASMA FIBROBLAST

Plasma Fibroblast with the revolutionary Plasma-Pen is now available at Forever Perfect Aesthetic Clinic. Plasma fibroblast therapy is an aesthetic procedure some healthcare providers may offer as an alternative to laser, injections, or surgical therapies to tighten and improve the appearance of skin.

What is plasma fibroblast therapy?

Plasma fibroblast therapy targets fibroblasts. These are collagen – and protein-producing cells in the dermis, the layer of skin just below your outermost skin layer.

Fibroblasts play an important role in helping skin wounds heal as well as maintaining skin firmness and tightness.

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

The plasma tip does not 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.

According to an 2019 article published in the PMFA journal, the thermal disruption, or heat damage, from plasma fibroblast therapy:

breaks down proteins in the skin
encourages tissue regeneration
stimulates fibroblast activity
causes tissue contraction (tightening)

Healthcare providers may also call this approach plasma skin resurfacing.

What are the benefits of plasma fibroblast therapy?

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.

What to expect?

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

Cleansing the skin and applying a topical anaesthetic (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.

Recovery

Once the procedure is completed, you can expect the small dots to scab over and fall off after about 1 week. Over the next couple of weeks, as your skin heals, it should appear tighter and firmer.

Some people may see benefits from one treatment, while others may require three treatments before they see results.

Is it safe and are there any side effects?

It is very important that the health-care provider performing the procedure establish realistic goals with you. While plasma fibroblast therapy can offer results, they are not likely to be as dramatic as a surgical procedure.

In addition, the procedure is not without side effects. Examples of side effects include:
