Fibroblast Plasma Skin Tightening is a cosmetic treatment that uses plasma, an ionized gas, to non-surgically tighten skin. A relatively new innovation in the beauty industry in North America,  Skin Tightening has been used for a number of years in Europe. This minimally invasive procedure is often described as “soft surgery” as the treatment delivers amazing results without the use of a scalpel, stitch, or bandage and is highly effective at treating fine lines, crow’s feet, wrinkles, age spots, sun spots, and skin tags, as well as reducing excess lower eyelid skin.

Skin tightening is able to treat a number of imperfections

Known for its success with non-surgical eye lift, scar lifting treatments, wrinkle reduction, tummy tightening and so much more, this treatment is the only non-invasive cosmetic treatment to use electrical arcing to eliminate excess skin, giving you a plasma facelift and neck lift. The extremely accurate device works by utilizing the voltage in the air between its metal tip and the skin (targeting only the epidermis layer). The tissues retraction and tightening gives results that are comparable to invasive surgery by physically reducing the volume of skin in the surrounding area. The skin around the spot tightens instantly, pulling the cells closer together.

How long does plasma skin tightening treatment last?

Plasma Skin Tightening is more than a simple skin tightening treatment, so the effects should last as long as they would with invasive surgery. Like all surgical and cosmetic procedures, the effects of the treatment is not entirely permanent, as it does not stop further aging. The positive effects of the procedure will be noticeable immediately after the first treatment, but the best results will be seen by the 4th to 6th week as the skin has had time to go through a full regenerative cycle. This is dependent on age and each individual’s overall healing abilities, on the specific area being treated, the skin’s laxity, and individual response to treatment. Additionally, there are lifestyle factors that can prevent the result from lasting as long as they can, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and prolonged sun exposure. For some, an additional treatment may be required after 8 weeks for maximum results. Those planning on treatment should also be aware that their race and genetics can also have an effect of the length of beneficial effects.
