This treatment relies on a handheld device to deliver a controlled high frequency electric arc, creating micro injuries. The handheld device emits a gas-like substance to stimulate fibroblast cells in the deeper layers of the skin to repair the outer skin layers. It’s the body’s response to the micro injury that helps the fibroblasts activate and repair and regenerate the skin.

The treatment device creates a small plasma flash. A series of these micro injuries will be created across the treatment area to stimulate your body’s own production of collagen and elastin.

The treatment procedure relies on the handheld device emitting the plasma flash to damage the top layer of skin and activate the fibroblasts beneath the surface. The procedure typically works as follows:

Preparation: The skin is cleaned and a topical numbing cream applied.

Device: The pen-like handheld device is prepared by creating specific settings for the type of treatment.

Plasma arc creation: The device generates a plasma flash or focused electric arc which ionises the air between the device and the skin’s surface, resulting in the formation of a tiny plasma dot on the skin.

Skin response: The plasma energy heats up the tissue, causing controlled thermal damage. This triggers the body’s natural healing response to stimulate the fibroblasts deep beneath the skin, which in turn stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.

Contraction and remodelling: As the skin heals, the treated area contracts and remodels. This tightening effect is attributed to the collagen fibres reorganising and becoming more compact,

The number of plasma dots created and the intensity of treatment are adjusted based on each person’s needs. The treatment session duration varies depending on the size of the treatment area.

The treatment can be used in many areas of the face and body, including:

Eyelids and eye area: this may help reduce sagging on the upper eyelids, also known as hooded eyelids. It can also improve the appearance of bags and wrinkles under the eye. It can also work to reduce crow’s feet and the appearance of fine lines around the outer corners of the eye.

Forehead and frown lines: the horizontal brow wrinkles and vertical ‘11’ lines between the eyebrows can be targeted with plasma fibroblast.

Nasolabial folds: also known as smile lines or laugh lines, these creases may be softened by plasma fibroblast.

Jowls and jawline: plasma fibroblast can tighten and lift sagging skin along the jawline to redefine the jaw and reduce the appearance of jowls.

Neck and decolletage: tightening sagging and sun damaged skin can improve the appearance of the neck and chest area.

Stretch marks: the treatment can be applied to areas with stretch marks, such as the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. By stimulating collagen production, it can improve the texture and colour of stretch-marked skin.

Scar revision: plasma fibroblast can help improve the appearance of scars, including acne scars and surgical scars, by encouraging the regeneration of healthy skin tissue.

This non-surgical treatment suits people looking for rejuvenation without the invasiveness of facelifts or tummy tucks. Individual results vary and results will be discussed at your initial consultation. Clients usually see the following results:

Immediately after the treatment: Some clients get immediate skin tightening due to the thermal effect of the plasma fibroblast. There may also be redness, swelling, small scabs or crusts at the treatment site, which are normal.

First week after treatment: Initial redness and swelling should subside and the scabs should heal, revealing new skin underneath. During this time, you may notice gradual improvements in skin texture and tone.

Two to 4 weeks after treatment: The skin continues to heal and collagen and elastin production is stimulated. As the treated area begins to remodel, you may observe more tightening and firming. The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles may continue to diminish.

Beyond week 4: The results become more noticeable over time. The full effects of the treatment are usually seen within a few months of the first treatment.

A course of 3-4 treatments spaced several weeks apart is usually recommended, but it will vary from client to client. Each treatment will build on the previous treatment, allowing for progressive improvement.

The scabs and redness after treatment means you may want to plan for social downtime. Immediately after treatment, you may experience redness, swelling and a sensation similar to sunburn, with the appearance of fine dots and crusts in the treatment area. The dots, crusts and scabs start to form within the first day or two after treatment and can last for 5-10 days. It’s important not to pick or scratch at the scabs as this can increase the risk of infection or scarring. It can take 1-2 weeks after treatment to recover, but the full remodelling process can take several weeks or months to appear.
