about Plasma Skin Tightening

What is it?

 Fibroblasts are active, spindle- or star-shaped cells in the dermis. Their function is to increase the productions of fibers and collagen. They play a main role in the dermis formation and are of a key importance for normal growth, healing, wound healing and every­day physiological activities in all tissues and organs in the body.


The problem is that the number and productivity of fi­broblasts decline with age. And as they decrease, that’s when we start to see skin laxity—sagging skin and wrinkles. 


The fibroblast regeneration is stimulated only by a wound healing process or inflammatory response. Trauma from plasma pen stimulates fi­broblasts to produce new collagen and elevates elastin levels, which in turn, improves laxity in the skin.

Loose skin? We Can Help!

As we age, skin laxity creates crepe-y, sagging skin and wrinkles.  Plasma Skin Tightening helps tighten the skin by stimulating collagen and fibroblast production--resulting in firmer, smoother skin. 

How does it work?

 The plasma pen works by releasing a small electrical charge with plasma gas through a small needle like probe. The probe at no time touches the skin. 


The electrical charge causes a heated coagulation of the skin surface. The heat is not spread in any other area of the skin except for the area being treated. This stimulates the fibroblast cells to react to the “superficial trauma” to the epidermal layers and immediately starts to tighten. In the next few weeks of healing collagen is triggered to speed up and renew the skin.

How long does it take?

We start by applying a topical anesthetic to minimize any risk of pain or discomfort. The cream stays on the skin for at least 20 minutes.  The duration of the treatment including numbing time is typically between 1 to 2 hours. This will depend on how large the area is being treated, for example treating stretch marks on the stomach will take additional time compared to a lip or eye treatment. 

Is it painful?

 Plasma Skin Tightening is a NON-invasive procedure with minimal level of pain. The treated area might be slightly reddish and may feel similar to a sunburn. Some patients receiving plasma skin tightening around the eyes may experience mild swelling. A small crust will form at the site of each spot.  Do not touch these crusts. They will fall off natural on their own in 4 to 10 days. 

How long will the skin tightening effect last?

The results of the plasma lift are permanent and may be visible for years. However, the skin ages every day after the procedure and this cannot be stopped. The results of this method are permanent, but when we talk about mimic facial lines (worry lines) these may recur quickly because muscles are stronger than the skin and consequently the lines recur. Average results last from 2-4 years for mimic lines..

How many treatments are required for the best results?

It depends on the condition of your skin, the desired degree of correction, your body's ability to heal, and your overall health. If the wrinkles are not very deep, one treatment may suffice. However, two or even three treatments are typically required to achieve a perfect result. The procedure may be repeated after the skin is fully regenerated, 8 weeks after the procedure.  

What Plasma Skin Tightening WON'T do...

Plasma skin tightening will NOT shrink fatty areas or reduce cellulite.


It is NOT a replacement for excess skin that needs to be removed by plastic surgery after extreme weight loss.


The plasma lift will only tighten areas where there is poor skin laxity. 


While plasma skin tightening can improve the laxity of sagging eyelid skin, it is NOT a replacement extreme sagging/droopy eyelids that need blepharoplasty.

contraindications

Plasma Skin Tightening is NOT advisable if any of the following apply:

  •  If you are prone to keloid scars
  • If you have diabetes, healing disorders, or lymphatic  draining issues
  • If you have a history of hyper-pigmentation
  • If you wear a pacemaker
  • If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • This treatment is only recommended on light-medium skin tones (Fitzpatrick I-III). Anyone with a darker complexion (Fitzpatrick IV-VI)  is at risk for hyper-pigmentation
  • You must not display Herpes Simplex Virus (Coldsores/Fever blisters). You must reschedule your appointment if you are experiencing an outbreak. If you have experienced Herpes Simplex Virus  (cold sores/fever blisters) in the past you must see your Medical Doctor and obtain a prescription for Valtrex and begin taking it 3 days before treatment and for 4 days following treatment.

PreCare & AfterCare

  

PRE-CARE:

  • If you are displaying signs of cold or flu the  treatment should be rescheduled.
  • Contact lenses must be removed when performing treatment on the upper eyelids.
  • Skin should not be inflamed in the area we are treating prior to procedure.
  • If you have a sunburn/suntan treatment should be postponed for up to 8 weeks or until tan/burn signs disappear.
  • Discontinue use of any AHA and/or Retinol skincare products for 4 weeks prior to treatment.
  • Eyelash extensions receiving upper or lower eyelid treatment MUST have lashes removed prior to treatment and reapplied after 8 weeks.
  • Discontinue use of any cleaners, creams, and serums containing acids such as salicylic, glycolic, and lactic 4 weeks prior to having any facial Plasma Skin Tightening procedures performed.

  

AFTERCARE DOs:

  • Ice the treated area (use a clean tea towel to cover the ice pack) for 10 minutes as needed the first 2 days.
  • Keep the treated area clean using a mild unscented  glycerin or Dove unscented soap twice a day (morning and night). Gently splash the area with cool water and very gently clean with soap and rinse very thoroughly. Use very mild gentle pressure to clean skin.
  • Gently apply your aftercare product (using only clean hands) to the treated area as needed to relieve pain/itching each day until your scabs fall off on their own.
  • IMPORTANT!!! Allow the scabs to come off on their own. This will ensure the best possible healed result and avoid scarring and infection.
  • Be patient with the process and allow yourself time to rest and heal.
  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds – Once the scabbing/peeling process is complete, always apply a minimum of 30 SPF  broad spectrum sunblock to the treated area for a minimum of 4 months  after your last treatment. The skin is still healing and can easily become damaged by the UV rays causing hyperpigmentation.

AFTERCARE DON’Ts:

  • Do not pick the scabs. Let them fall off by themselves  or you risk scarring.
  • Do not apply any make-up (even mineral) for the first 4 days or until the scabbing or peeling is complete (about 7-10 days).
  • Do not apply any plasters (liquid bandaid) on the treated areas as doing so can delay the natural healing process.
  • Do not apply alcohol-based cleansers as this can delay healing.
  • Do not workout, swim, get in a hot tub or steam bath (avoid sweating and sauna).
