Plasma Fibroblast Skin Tightening

Yes, when performed by a trained and qualified skin therapist, plasma fibroblast is safe and effective. However, like any cosmetic procedure, there are potential side effects to consider, which will be discussed prior to treatment. We strictly follow hygiene protocols, utilising a sterile device and disposable needles.

This treatment is suitable for most skin types, however individuals with darker skin tones  may be at higher risk of hyperpigmentation. For darker skin tones, extra care with your skincare routine before and after treatment is essential to minimise the risk of pigmentation. An assessment of your skin will be conducted prior to treatment to discuss any of these concerns.

Individuals may experience some discomfort; however, a topical numbing cream is applied to the skin area beforehand to ensure comfort. Some individuals may experience a mild heating sensation or temporary discomfort during the treatment.

The number of treatments required depends on individual skin condition, concerns, and desired outcomes. While some individuals may see noticeable improvements after 1-2 sessions, a series of treatments spaced 12 weeks apart may be recommended for optimal results.

While downtime is minimal compared to surgical procedures, individuals may experience redness, swelling and mild discomfort in the treated skin area for a few days following treatment. The treated area will be left with tiny dots {carbon crusts} which will fall off on their own typically 3-7 days after treatment. It is crucial to refrain from picking or scratching these crusts. Additionally, an after-care gel will be provided to assist with healing, which should be applied at home in the days following treatment.

It is recommended to avoid wearing makeup for roughly 48 hours after treatment to allow your skin to heal properly. The treated area may be sensitive, and applying makeup too soon could introduce bacteria or irritate the skin. You will be provided with post-treatment instructions to follow at home.

It is important to follow any specific post-treatment instructions provided. It is essential to be gentle with your skin and avoid using harsh or irritating products for a few days post-treatment, this includes avoiding the use of exfoliants or active ingredients as they may cause irritation. However, it is highly recommended you continue to gently cleanse and moisturise 48 hours after treatment to help soothe and hydrate your skin as it heals.

While the results of plasma fibroblast can provide long lasting results, the natural ageing process, and external factors such as sun exposure and lifestyle habits can affect the longevity of the results. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain optimal results over time. In general, once the desired outcome is achieved, the results of plasma fibroblast typically last for roughly 12 months with some individuals experiencing longer lasting effects.

If you are unsure if plasma fibroblast is suitable for you, we will have a discussion with you prior to treatment to address any concerns. Certain contraindications, such as pregnancy/breastfeeding, active skin infections, eczema, blood thinners, certain medications and others could prevent you from receiving plasma fibroblast.
