Plasma Pen is a brand of the device used for fibroblast treatment

Fibroblast treatment is specifically targeted to tighten, lift, rejuvenate and regenerate the skin and can be used many different areas including face, neck and abdomen. A device is used to create micro-trauma to the skin and stimulate fibroblasts (these are cells within our connective tissue). This stimulates the formation of new collagen and helps to improve the appearance of the skin. New collagen continues to form over the next 12 weeks and treatment results can last for well over a year.

 

As part of the natural ageing process the skin thins, less collagen is produced and the skin’s elasticity reduces. As the support for the skin, such as fat pads, changes with age the skin can begin to wrinkle, become looser and change texture.

 

The plasma pen device allows a charged gas- known as plasma- to form in the air between the device tip and the skin. The device does not touch the skin itself. Through a process known as sublimation, the plasma turns the solid skin into a gaseous state and as a result elastin fibers shrink. This micro-trauma to the skin surface leads to a tightening and lifting effect. The epidermis is rejuvenated with treatment and old cells are replaced with fresh new cells. Proteins within the dermis are activated and released to help encourage tissue regeneration and repair. By using a plasma pen device we can deliver focused and controlled treatment to the area of concern. Small carbon crusts will appear on the skin which then fall off to leave behind refreshed looking skin.

 

The benefits of fibroblast treatment include tighter firmer skin, improved skin texture, a boost in collagen and elastin production, lifted skin, fine lines and wrinkles appear reduced and dark circles under the eyes are minimised.

 

Areas which can be treated include the upper eyelid, under eye area crow’s feet, forehead lines, jowls and neck , marionette and nasolabial lines. The appearance of stretch marks and scars can be reduced and simple skin tags can be removed. The appearance of loose skin of the abdomen and arms can be improved.

 

Side effects of treatment can include skin sensitivity and tightness (similar to sunburn), swelling, redness, bruising, itching, peeling and crusting. Treatment results cannot be guaranteed and more than one session may be required for optimal results. Serious complications are rare but can include eye injury, changes to skin pigmentation (increased and decreased), prolonged discomfort, scarring, infection and re-activation of Herpes virus (cold sores).

 

Any concerns must be reported within 24 hours and clinical review will be offered. Although the skin often looks ‘healed’ in as little as 2 weeks, the healing process can take up to 12 weeks. Healing time will vary from person to person and depends on the area treated.

 

Optimising the skin prior to treatment, as well as aftercare is essential for maximum results. Details will be provided of this in writing following consultation. In some cases, such as clients with certain health conditions or medications, a letter from your GP may be required.
