PLASMA PEN
How Does Fibroblast Plasma Pen Treatment Work?
The plasma fibroblast treatment is a relatively new innovation in the aesthetic industry in North America but has been used for a number of years in the medical field and in Europe. This device ionizes gases near the skin to create a tiny lightning bolt of energy or electrical arc. This thermal energy instantly shrinks the targeted skin and vaporizes a small portion of the superficial skin layer. The tissues retract and tighten giving you more youthful and glowing skin.
How Long Does It Last?
The plasma fibroblast sublimates or vaporizes skin, which means the skin volume is actually reduced. This is a soft surgery procedure with effects that should last as long as you might expect with invasive surgery. Of course, the effects of plasma fibroblast are not entirely permanent as it does not stop any further aging, but the positive results should last for several years depending on the area treated. The rejuvenating effects of treatment will be noticeable immediately after the first session, but the final results will be seen at 8 weeks. For some, an additional treatment may be
required after 8 weeks has elapsed for maximum results. Additionally, there are lifestyle factors that can individually affect one’s results such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and regular sun exposure.
How Many Treatments Are Required?
Most patients see significant improvement with one session. The number of treatments required will vary according to the area being treated, depth of wrinkles and sagging and other factors. Most patients see instant improvement and this continues to build incrementally over the course of the following 8 weeks. Further treatments can be carried out to achieve even further improvement. Appointments must be spaced out by 4-8 weeks at a minimum.
Day of Treatment
On the treatment day, it is recommended that no makeup is worn on the treatment area. Plasma fibroblast cannot be performed on any part of the eye area if you are wearing lash extensions due to risk of infection. You may take an antihistamine 30 minutes prior to your appointment to help with swelling and continue to take antihistamines and anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen for 2-3
days following your appointment. Swelling is a normal and expected part of the healing process. Anti-inflammatory medicines should be discontinued a week prior to the session because they increase the chance of excessive bleeding.
A numbing solution is left on the skin for approximately 30 minutes. When the treatment area is sufficiently numb, the session will begin. You may feel some heat in the treatment area or an itchy sensation. Expect to spend at least 30-60 minutes at your appointment, depending on the size of the area being addressed.
Before Your Treatment:
It is recommended that sun protection of SPF 30-50 be used daily for at least 2 weeks prior to the Plasma Lift treatment(s). Vitamin A derivatives such as tretinoin, Retin-A or any type of alpha hydroxy acid will increase sensitivity. These products should be discontinued two weeks prior to treatment. Stay out of the sun and avoid tanning salons or the use of any self-tanning products for 3 weeks prior and post treatment session.
