Plaxpot Plasma Fibroblast

Plasma is the 4th state of matter. Matter becomes Plasma when you supply enough energy to split atoms into electrons. This produces negatively charged electrons and positively charged ions, radicals, and molecules. This cloud that consists of charged particles is called Plasma.

Plasma Fibroblast is a non-surgical skin tightening treatment. It is the perfect facial rejuvenation that uses plasma instead of a scalpel. It shrinks and tightens skin. This treatment provides results that you would normally need surgery to achieve.

An electronic hand-piece is used to precisely transfer plasma energy from the device to your skin. The transfer of energy to the skin occurs when the applicator tip is close to the skin but not touching it so that the energy has to jump through the air which is how the plasma is created. The skin then reacts thermally. Each plasma spot creates a radius around the spot which tightens the skin. This is why you will notice the dots are placed in strategic locations to give results that are comparable to invasive surgery.

One of the major advantages of Plasma is that it offers a much less invasive/expensive alternative to surgery. Other benefits are a much less painful treatment compared to surgery, minimal side effects and downtime, significantly lower cost, and instantly visible NATURAL results.

In most cases only one treatment is required. However, depending on the area of the face or body being treated and individual conditions and expectations one or two post-treatments may be necessary. Additional treatments can be safely done at 8 week intervals after initial procedure.

You can experience some pain when receiving the treatment and directly after the treatment for around 2-3 hours. Pain can be greatly reduced with numbing cream. Around 4 hours after the treatment the pain should almost be gone and just a mild sunburn feeling will remain.

Downtime depends on your working situation and lifestyle. You can resume your normal work immediately but this does not mean there is no downtime. The tiny plasma flash causes ‘crusts’ to form on the skin giving the distinctive dotting effect. You can also experience significant swelling in the area treated, particularly in the eye area. The swelling will diminish over a 2-5 day period and the crust (brown dots) that occur are gone on average between 5-7 days. They may also be covered over with a specially formulated mineral make-up to reduce their visibility. These are cosmetic issues only, technically there is no real downtime if these visual effects are of no concern to you.

The positive effect of the Plasma Fibroblast treatment is instant and visible during the treatment itself, but will be even more noticeable at 4 weeks with continuing improvement up to 12 weeks. Follow up treatments may be performed after 8 weeks depending on your skin’s healing.

Plasma Skin Tightening is more than a simple tightening treatment, skin is actually removed, so the effects should last as long as they would with invasive surgery. Like any surgical or cosmetic procedures, the effects of Plasma treatment are not entirely permanent and wont stop the ageing process. However, the results you get should last you for many years.
Depending on the individual skin type and life-style, the result can last for up to two-five years or more. Negative lifestyle choices such as too much sun, smoking, excess alcohol consumption are discouraged in order to maintain lasting results. Aftercare and maintenance is possible at any time.

Plasma Skin Tightening has been shown to be a safe procedure in thousands of patients due to its non-invasive nature. However, as with most cosmetic procedures, patients are likely to experience some minor side effects in the first 5 to 10 days after treatment. The entire treatment area will have small but visible brown dotted marks, which will begin to shed naturally over the course of 5-10 days. Some patients will also experience 3 to 5 days of swelling, especially with eyelid treatments. To avoid any more serious side effects such as hyper-pigmentation, follow the aftercare instruction given to you prior to your treatment. Overall, the treatment is low in complications, and virtually painless thanks to the pre-treatment numbing cream.

The most important preparation you may want to consider is your time during the first week following your treatment. Give careful thought before scheduling your appointment. Ensure you have no important meetings to attend, special occasions or school runs etc. You may wish to arrange your appointment during annual leave, especially if your job requires you to look presentable eg: teachers/public facing roles. This is important as it is likely that you will prefer to stay at home until all of the brown crusts and swelling has subsided and you look more like yourself. However this may not be an issue to you if the visual effects of the treatment are of no concern. Please attend your appointment with clean skin no moisturiser, makeup/tanning products on the treatment area, esp no mascara on lashes if the eye area is being treated. You may wish to wash your hair on the morning of your treatment as the treatment area cannot get wet for the full week following the procedure. If you are having an upper and lower eye-lift treatment on the same day, it is advisable to make arrangements not to drive yourself.

A numbing cream is applied to the treatment area and left to take effect for 30 mins. During this numbing period, consent forms will be given to you to complete. There will also be plenty of time to further discuss treatment and answer any questions you may have. When the area is sufficiently numb the treatment will begin. During the treatment you will feel some heat and minor irritation, Treatment time can last from 45 minutes (incl numbing period) and up to several hours depending on the size of the treatment area. You will be provided with aftercare instruction and a review appointment will be scheduled for 8 weeks later.

A minimum of 45 hour will be allocated. This allows for adequate numbing time (30 mins) Depending on the area of the body, the treatment can take between 10 and 45 minutes ( longer in some cases for larger areas of the body).

YES.. During your first appointment, you will be given aftercare instructions. Following these instructions is critical for best results. Complications or negative effects will not be caused by the device (and highly unlikely by the technician either) but more likely as a result of failure in complying with aftercare instruction. Aftercare with unsuitable products are often the chief culprits where a negative aspect of any kind occurs. You will be provided with a detailed aftercare plan at your first appointment.
