FAQS
WHAT IS PLASMA PEN/FIBROBLAST TREATMENT?
Plasma pen is the world's most advanced, noninvasive, skin lifting, skin tightening and rejuvenation device used to treat wrinkles and sagging, dull skin. Plasma pen is an FDA approved device to perform fibroblast therapy, a technique used to stimulate production of collagen in the skin. The plasma pen significantly tightens, lifts, resurfaces, and regenerates any area of the skin.
The treatment delivers similar results to surgery, with no scalpel, stitches, anesthesia, and minimal downtime at a more affordable price than actual surgery. Bear in mind, it does not take the place of surgery, and it could take one to three treatments spaced three months apart to reach a final goal, but it is a great alternative.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Plasma skin tightening is relatively new in North America but has been safely and effectively performed in Europe for many years. Fibroblasting has increased in popularity due to its many advantages over surgery. As we age, our skin loses elasticity and produces less natural collagen-leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. This precision device works by utilizing the voltage in the air between its tip and the skin, to perform a plasma charge creating a series of tiny brown spots or “carbon dots” placed to attain the desired result for the excess skin. The skin around the spot tightens pulling the cells closer together. It is the only non-surgical treatment to reduce excess skin instantly and successfully. While the results are individual specific, they may last for two to four years until the natural aging process sets in.
DOWNTIME/WHAT TO EXPECT DURING RECOVERY:
Compared to surgery, plasma pen recovery is minimal, but you should expect redness, swelling, and scabbing up to 10 days after treatment. You will not be physically restricted from most typical activities, but you will need to avoid sun exposure and you may decide to plan up to a week of “social downtime”. There will be some tiny brown marks in the treatment area. This is the scabbing and will flake away over a week or so, exposing a pink layer of healthy new skin. Some patients will experience swelling, especially with eyelid treatment. You will be advised in specific aftercare protocol, which you should follow carefully for best results.
DOES IT HURT?
Everyone has a different pain threshold, but we always use two topical anesthetics. You should not feel very much of anything but there may be a tingling sensation. Some areas like the eyelids and the upper lip tend to be more sensitive and there might be minor discomfort. We will always do everything we can to ensure your comfort during treatment.
AM I A CANDIDATE FOR PLASMA PEN?
If you are seeking a nonsurgical solution to correct loose skin or visible signs of aging, then plasma pen may be right for you. Plasma pen works best on light to medium complexions and may not be appropriate for patients with darker skin or those who scar easily. We offer a complimentary consultation to determine if this procedure is right for you and can map out your custom treatment plan.
