You may need to wait about 30 minutes for the numbing cream to take effect.<\/li><li>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.<\/li><li>A professional will remove the numbing cream and apply a cooling gel to minimize the tingling and burning sensation whenever possible.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The procedure usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes to perform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recovery<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people may see benefits from one treatment, while others may require three treatments before they see results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a><\/a> Is it safe and are there any side effects?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the procedure is not without side effects. Examples of side effects include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>redness<\/li><li>swelling<\/li><li>mild hypopigmentation (light spots)<\/li><li>mild hyperpigmentation (dark spots)<\/li><li>skin peeling and crusting<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2013 Courtesy of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/plasma-fibroblast\">Health Line<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thelife.digital\/tl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/logo-and-picture-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2282\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thelife.digital\/tl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/logo-and-picture-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.thelife.digital\/tl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/logo-and-picture-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thelife.digital\/tl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/logo-and-picture-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thelife.digital\/tl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/logo-and-picture-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thelife.digital\/tl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/logo-and-picture-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.thelife.digital\/tl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/logo-and-picture.jpg 1640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>By Forever Perfect Aesthetic Clinic<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Corika Prinsloo 081\u00a0759-5139<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Plasma Fibroblast with the revolutionary Plasma-Pen is now available at Forever Perfect Aesthetic Clinic.
