How Plasma Fibroblast Works
How does plasma fibroblast treatments work?
Fibroblast is a relatively new innovation in the beauty industry in North America but has been used since 1994 in Europe. The extremely accurate hand held device works by utilizing the voltage in the air between its tip and natural gasses emitted from our skin, to form a plasma charge. A small electrical arc is created and instantly shrinks the targeted skin. The tissue retracts and tightens giving you more youthful looking skin.
What is it used to treat?
Fibroblast Is able to treat a number of imperfections without any actual cutting of the skin. It can be used for:
Eyelid tightening, including under eyes and excess upper eyelid skin or heavy bags under the eyes.
Skin imperfections
Improvement in the appearance of acne scars
Tightening loose stomach skin after pregnancy
Lines and wrinkles around the mouth
Jowls and neck tightening
Knee caps and under arms
How long does it last?
As fibroblast is more than a simple tightening treatment (skin volume is actually reduced), the effects should last as long as they would with invasive surgery. Like all surgical and cosmetic procedures, the effects of fibroblast are not entirely permanent as it does not stop any further aging, but the positive results should last years depending on the area treated. The positive effects of the treatment will be noticeable immediately after the first treatment, but the final results will be seen after 8 weeks. For some, an additional treatment may be required after 8 weeks for maximum results.
Additionally, there are lifestyle factors that can prevent the results from lasting as long as they can, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and prolonged sun exposure.
How many treatments are required?
The number of treatments required will vary according to the area being treated, skin’s laxity, the desired degree of correction and the individual’s response to the treatment. Most clients see results instantly and this continues to improve over the course of 8 weeks. Further treatments can be carried out to achieve better results. Appointments must be spaced out by 8 weeks.
What to expect? Side effects and risks:
Fibroblast has been shown to be a safe treatment due to its non-invasive nature when done by a fully certified technician. Still, the majority of clients are likely to experience some minor side effects in the 7-10 days following treatment.
There will be small carbon crusts (little polka dots) in the treated area that will last 7-10 days before naturally lifting, revealing new pink skin beneath. Swelling around the eye is also to be expected for a few days following an upper eyelid treatment.
To avoid any serious side effects such as hyperpigmentation, follow the aftercare recommendations given to you by your technician.
