Fibroblast Plasma is a non-surgical skin tightening method used without a knife.
Our master esthetician uses an electric handheld device called a Plasma Fibroblast Pen that discharges ionized gas, called plasma, to the skin, singeing the surface and tightening the underlying tissue. Skin perceives the thermal energy on the epidermis (a paper thin layer) as an injury and rushes to produce new collagen and deploy healing growth factors.
A fibroblast is a type of the most common cells of connective tissue in the body and they are the only cells that can make collagen.
Most fibroblasts are inactive and will not produce collagen unless they are specifically re-activated by a wound healing process or inflammatory response.
The heat from the plasma also stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen and generates elastin fibers which continue to proliferate for the next 8 weeks.
After treatment the skin begins to plump up over time as the new collagen matrix is being re-built. Also referred to as Soft Surgery because the treatment can lift and tighten skin similar to a surgical face lift, neck lift, and eyelid lifts.

Fibroblast Plasma Treatment Healing Process
(All photos are raw photos, no edit, no retouching. All results in photos are after 1 session treatment)
Tiny crusts will quickly form on the treated area. These may be visible for up to about a week.
1-12 weeks
Once the scabs have fallen off (approximately 5-10 days), your skin may be a little pink.
This extensive dermal remodelling produces neocollagenesis.
Your skin is still healing, actually this is the most extensive dermal remodelling, new collagen synthesis.
12 weeks-3 years
The treated areas are visibly smoother with new rejuvenated skin. Fine lines and deeper lines are ironed out.

Write down last minute questions that come to mind for discussion.
- You may return to work the following day. However, you will not look your absolute best during the initial healing process (approximately 7 days).
- Expect redness, swelling and inflammation for the first 1 to 5 days post-treatment. This is normal but will usually be of a very minor nature.
- Do not apply any bandaids ( or liquid bandaid) on the treated areas as doing so can delay the natural healing process.
- Do not work out, swim, get in a hot tub or steam bath (avoid sweating and soaking scabs).
- Don’t use saunas, swimming pools, public bathing and tanning beds for 7 days.
- Supplements suggested to enhance healing would be Vitamin A, C, E, Calcium, Iron, Zinc, Omega 3 and Amino Acids.
- Men should avoid shaving the treated area until it is fully healed (around 7 days).
- If you have had treatment around your eyes, you should avoid wearing contact lenses for 72 hours after your treatment
A “stinging” sensation in the treated area(s) immediately after treatment is normal and lasts for about an hour.
The Swelling peaks the day following the treatment. The swelling will likely be worse in the mornings and lessen towards the evening. You may find it difficult to open your eyes in the morning following the treatment however, it will subside throughout the day. Ice the treated area (use a clean tea towel to cover the ice pack) alternating 10 minutes on and 10 minutes off, for up to one hour. Do NOT apply ice directly onto the skin, as this can cause damage to the tissue.
Avoid taking anti-inflammatory medications like aspirin, ibuprofen or steroids if possible.
Drink plenty of water.
If the treatment is on the face or neck, we recommend you sleep on your back with your head elevated to reduce swelling.
The wound from plasma devices is not open. However, the first 12 hours post-treatment is vital in protecting you from any potential infection, so please avoid any activities where you could expose yourself to contaminants. Keeping hands off of anything that comes in contact with the treatment area.
Do not dampen or wet the area. Do not wash the area.
Apply balm cream (Sheald Recovery Balm) several times a day as needed.
The swelling is the same or slightly less than the previous day (Day 1). Sometimes swelling also spreads to the eye-bags even if no plasma aesthetic treatment was carried out on the lower eyelids, this is normal because the upper eyelid communicates with the lower eyelid and some fluid inside the upper eyelid can spread to the eye bags. DON’T PANIC this is perfectly normal!
Ice the treated area (use a clean tea towel to cover the ice pack) alternating 10 minutes on and 10 minutes off, for up to one hour. Do NOT apply ice directly onto the skin, as this can cause damage to the tissue.
Gently wash your face with a gentle cleanser that has no active ingredients in it like Cetaphil or mild unscented glycerin or Dove unscented soap twice a day (morning and night) then dab dry with cotton, or a facecloth.
Wear dark sunglasses and a hat for protection if you are going outside.
Apply balm cream (Sheald Recovery Balm) several times a day as needed.
Do NOT stand with your face under a hot shower for the first 3-4 days. This could increase swelling. Try to avoid shower gels or hair products running on to your face as this could cause irritation and inflammation.
The swelling should start to subside noticeably and the spots where the plasma was applied will start turning into scabs. Those scab dots will fall off naturally by day 4-7, stay calm. Think of the new baby skin that is being protected underneath the dots.
The discomfort experienced during day1 and day 2 should have subsided dramatically.
No further pain should be experienced on the third day following the treatment. For those people who experience eye-bag swelling, this should still be present during the third day.
Apply balm cream (Sheald Recovery Balm) several times a day as needed if you don’t see any signs of scabs.
Do NOT stand with your face under a hot shower.
The scabs must not be picked and should fall off on their own.
No discomfort or pain should be felt following the treatment. Some residual minor swelling can still be on the upper eyelids. No more pain or discomfort should be felt.
Apply a thin layer of Healing balm daily

- The scabs must not be picked and should fall off on their own.
- All swelling should have subsided, and some scabs may still be present. The minor swelling on the eye bags should have almost subsided.
- The scabs should have started to fall off. In most cases during Day 6 people will struggle to tell whether any aesthetic treatment has ever been performed.
- Almost all scabs should have fallen off. At this point, it is ok to start using total physical sunscreen and apply makeup as usual.
Week 2.
Although the area has healed, it may feel more tender to the touch than usual and people may experience a stinging sensation while applying creams or washing normally. The area may look pinker than usual.
you can cover the carbon crusts with makeup if you want to conceal them, but only if you need to.
Once the scabs have fallen off, you must wear a physical sunblock (zinc & titanium) and a hat while your skin is in the healing stages (pink in color) and you should continue to do so for at least the next 12 weeks to avoid hyperpigmentation.
(Follow Do’s and Don’ts herein)
Week 3 and 4.
They are maybe still slightly tender and pinker than the rest of the area.
Avoid prolonged sun exposure for next few months, wear sunblock.
Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds – Once the scabbing/peeling process is complete, always apply a broad spectrum sunblock SPF50 to the treated area for a minimum of 3 months after your last treatment. The skin is still healing and can easily become damaged by the UV rays causing hyperpigmentation. You may even wish to consider using a natural Tyrosinase Inhibitor to ensure there is no overproduction of pigment in the skin aka hyperpigmentation.
No procedures such as laser therapy, chemical peels, Botox, fillers for at least 3 months
Month 2.
Tenderness should have subsided, and the area should have fully blended with the surrounding skin. The full effect of your procedure will take 6 to 8 weeks, so be patient.
