About Fibroblast Therapy + Benefits Of Plasma Skin Resurfacing
People of all ages, shapes, and sizes have loose skin. For some, this may be bothersome and unwanted. In the past, the only way to resolve sagging skin was through invasive surgical procedures. Now, there’s the option of Fibroblast Therapy! This revolutionary, non-invasive skin-tightening procedure can create similar results as surgery without ever going under the knife.
Wait, What Is Fibroblast Therapy + How Does Fibroblast Therapy Work?
The term “fibroblast” describes the collagen- and protein-producing cells in the dermis, the layer of skin just below your outermost skin layer. Fibroblasts play an important role in helping skin wounds heal as well as maintaining skin firmness and tightness.
Your esthetician uses an electric handheld device called a plasma fibroblast pen for the procedure. This pen uses a metal probe to ionize atmospheric gas between its tip and the gasses that the skin naturally emits, forming a plasma charge. The electrical arc is created, shrinking the targeted skin as the pen is applied. Your skin tissues will retract and tighten, providing you with a more youthful-looking appearance. As your skin continues to heal and repair post-treatment, your skin elasticity will continue to improve and tighten — it only gets better!
What are the benefits of Fibroblast Therapy?
Plasma fibroblast therapy is a nonsurgical treatment that may be used to treat skin conditions such as acne scars, age spots, seborrheic keratosis, and wrinkled skin.
Cosmetic specials may also use plasma fibroblast therapy as an alternative to lip fillers to make the lips look fuller.
Are there any side effects of Fibroblast Therapy?
While plasma fibroblast therapy can offer results, they are not likely to be as dramatic as a surgical procedure. Side effects of plasma fibroblast therapy include redness, swelling, mild hypopigmentation, mild hyperpigmentation, skin peeling, and crusting. When you consider that you are getting a skin tightening solution without the need for dangerous surgery, these side effects are much easier to swallow.
Will I see results from Fibroblast Therapy right away? How Long Do The Results Of Fibroblast Therapy Last?
You will notice some results immediately after your appointment. As cell turnover occurs and the product of collagen increase, you will notice further changes to your skin. You should expect to see the full results of your treatment around 3 months. Fibroblast procedure results typically last for three years.
