As we get older, we tend to lose our youthful-looking skin. The reduction of essential fibres gives way to sagging skins and unwelcome lines on our face, neck, arms, and other parts of our body. Until recently, a surgical intervention such as facelift or liposuction was introduced as a solution to bring back one’s smooth and tight skin. And now, a revolutionary treatment called the Fibroblast Plasma Skin Tightening has become popular as an alternative to surgery in generating the supportive fibres and eliminating excess skin. Darleen MA Nicolau, a certified plasma pro technician is proud to be one of the owners of the first clinics in Toronto and London Ontario to offer this non-invasive skin tightening treatment.
Fibroblast Plasma Skin Tightening, also known as soft surgery is a non-surgical no-downtime cosmetic procedure that is proved highly effective for anti-aging.This treatment utilizes plasma, a natural ionized gas to revive the abundance of collagen and elastin that are responsible for tissue retraction and tightening, giving results that are similar to traditional surgery.
Fibroblast Plasma Skin Tightening is a non-surgical lift method in the beauty and cosmetic industry that is declared highly beneficial for treating all skin conditions due to aging, and is considered the best alternative to surgery.
The following are the advantages of plasma treatment from surgery:
Most Fibroblast treatment last approximately one hour but still depends on the number and size of areas to be treated. This treatment is known as soft surgery that requires no anesthesia, no cuts or injections. And patients can go back to their regular activities right after the treatment with less discomfort.
Upon contact of plasma flash with the skin, a tiny dot referred to as carbon crust is left behind. These dots are part of the healing process, which will fade within 5-7 days after the treatment. Most clients may notice some swelling for about 3-5 days after the treatment, particularly around the eyelids, as they are the most sensitive part. The entire healing process usually takes up to 8 weeks.
For most patients, immediate results can already be noticeable after one session. Full effect of the treatment will be visible within 2-4 weeks, which will improve more the following 8 weeks with additional treatment.
After undergoing Fibroblast treatments and following its after care, patients will love their smoothen, firmer, healthier, and more vibrant-looking skin that will last a long term. As the production of collagen and elastin elevates after treatment, the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and marks on your face and body will continuously fade.
Fibroblasts (Fibroblastus) are active spindle-shaped cells in the dermis that belong to the family of connective tissue cells. These cells act as the producers of collagen, glycoaminoglycans, and proteoglycans, which are key to tissue maintenance. As structural components, fibroblasts are responsible for healing, wound healing, and any tissue repair in the body. But as we age, fibroblasts reach the point where they decline and break down. And the collagen that was once abundant now decreases, and has been replaced with enzyme collagenase that breaks the bond of collagen. This is the stage where cellular division takes place and the skin loses its stiffness and thickness. But when interrupted with plasma, new collagen and elastin reproduces.
During the session, a fibroblast handpiece is placed directly over the skin surface, as a process called sublimation---the turning of solid into gas--- takes place within the tool. The handpiece then produces an electric arc, also called as plasma flash that is a key instrument to tightening skin, causing no damage to surrounding areas and the deeper skin layers. After the treatment, you will see instant result that is as good as the ones after an invasive surgery.
Fibroblast Plasma Skin Tightening is capable of treating a number of areas naturally, including:
In some cases, one treatment is already enough, especially for minimal corrections. However, depending on the area to be treated, the skin’s laxity, and individual response to treatment, the number of sessions to take varies. But to achieve optimal results, it is required to undergo 6-8 weeks of treatment. For the best treatment plan, face-to-face consultation is recommended.
