Plasma Fibroblast

The plasma pen creates controlled micro-injuries by delivering an electrical charge just above the skin’s surface, ionising the surrounding air to form plasma. This plasma energy causes tiny 'carbon crusts' on the skin, which contract and stimulate fibroblast cells to produce more collagen, improving skin elasticity and firmness.

Plasma fibroblast therapy can treat various areas of the body, including:

• Upper and lower eyelids (blepharoplasty)
• Crow’s feet around the eyes
• Forehead wrinkles
• Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
• Neck and jawline
• Stretch marks and acne scars
• Loose skin on the abdomen, arms, or knees

You may experience some discomfort associated with the treatment, but here at Immortal Cosmedical, our skin clinic uses a topical numbing cream to minimise pain. You may feel a tingling or slight burning sensation during the procedure, but the discomfort is usually manageable. After the treatment, the treated area may feel similar to a mild sunburn.

The duration of the treatment depends on the size of the area being treated. Most sessions last between 30 minutes to 1.5 hours. Smaller treatment area such as the eyes or mouth take less time, while larger areas such as the neck or stomach may require longer.

The recovery time can differ from person to person, but most individuals go through a healing phase of 5 to 7 days. During this period, small plasma scabs or carbon crusts will develop and naturally flake off. You may also notice some swelling and redness for a few days after the procedure. It's important to resist picking at the scabs and carefully follow aftercare instructions to promote proper healing.

Only 3 sessions are required 10 weeks apart for optimal results and there is minimal to no downtime after the procedure. Treatment lasts 2-3 years, after which results can be maintained with yearly maintenance sessions.

The results of Fibroblast Plasma Skin Tightening can last up to 2-3 years, depending on factors such as age, skin type, and lifestyle. Since the treatment stimulates natural collagen production, it provides long-lasting results, but it cannot stop the natural ageing process. Some patients may choose to undergo maintenance treatments every 1-2 years to maintain results.

Common side effects include redness, swelling, and the formation of tiny scabs at the treatment site. These scabs usually fall off within 5-7 days. More severe side effects like infection, scarring, or hyperpigmentation are rare, especially when the procedure is performed by a trained professional.

While plasma fibroblast treatments offer impressive skin tightening and rejuvenation, it is not a substitute for a surgical facelift. It is best suited for mild to moderate skin laxity and can delay the need for surgery, but it won’t provide the same dramatic lifting results as a surgical procedure.

Individuals who can undergo this treatment are those with mild to moderate skin sagging who want a non-surgical option. It’s especially effective for people with loose or sagging skin around the eyes, neck, or jawline. However, it may not be suitable for individuals with very dark skin tones, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those with specific medical conditions.

Proper aftercare is essential to promote effective healing and reduce the risk of complications. After the treatment:

• Avoid sun exposure and use a high-SPF sunscreen.
• Do not pick at the carbon crusts. Instead, let them fall off naturally.
• Keep the treated area clean and apply any recommended healing creams.
• Avoid makeup and heavy skincare products for several days.
