Plasmasthetics is a Fibroblast treatment that is performed with a device called a Plasma Pen which looks similar to a pen and is used to produce plasma waves.  The Fibroblasts are the collagen-producing cells in the skin. The plasma waves are directed as tiny light spots along the wrinkle lines.  The tip of the pen never touches the skin (and the needle-like attachment is disposable and one-time use). The pen is held above the skin and a tiny plasma arc connects the tip of the device to the surface of the epidermis.

Using plasma waves, the old collagen is removed by Sublimation (Evaporation), and fibroblasts are stimulated to produce new collagen. The targeted skin contracts and is essentially eliminated without any cutting, which results in the tightening and shrinking of the targeted skin.   This advanced procedure helps to revive natural levels of the Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid and Fibronectin needed for fresh youthful skin.   A series of tiny brown spots are strategically placed to attain the desired result. The skin around the dot tightens instantly, pulling the cells closer together. No overtightening will occur. The evaporated old collagen is seen as tiny brown scabs on the treated area. The tiny "microdot", brown scab or protective crust, or carbon crust on the surface will fall off on their own in approx.  3-7 days.

It is very safe, low-risk, and highly effective.  As with most cosmetic treatments, a consultation with an experienced, trained practitioner prior to service, as well as a strict aftercare routine, is required to promote proper healing and to help you achieve the maximum results.

• Anywhere with Loose or Saggy Skin
• Eyelid reconstruction, including resolving baggy lower eyelids and excess upper eyelid skin
• Skin imperfections and benign lesions, including skin tags and sunspots
• Improvement in the appearance of scarring, including post-surgery scars, acne scars
• Diminishing Stretch marks
• Tightening loose stomach skin after pregnancy
• Lines and wrinkles around the mouth
• Facelift and neck lift

Results are immediate, however as the deepest layers of the skin continue to heal over a 6-8 week period, results will improve over time, with most clients starting to see their best results around 4 weeks post-treatment.

The number of treatments required will vary according to the condition being treated, skin's laxity, the desired degree of correction and the individual’s response to the treatment. Most clients see results instantly and this continues to improve over the course of the following 3 months. Further treatments can be carried out to get better results.

With Plasmasthetics, although it is uncommon to require more than two treatments, extreme cases may require three to four. Appointments must be spaced out 6-8 weeks.

Deep wrinkles and expression lines usually require touch-ups. Most clients will see fairly significant results after the first treatment, and if additional treatments are required, they will be done at 8 weeks.

Plasmastheics treatment is a surgery alternative, it delivers similar results as cosmetic surgery without the risk, cost, or recovery time.  It is non-invasive and pain is minimal. 

Numbing agent is applied for the client's comfort, and the entire procedure lasts approximately 30-60 minutes or more for larger areas.  As the plasma flash comes into contact with the skin, it leaves a tiny dot on the skin's surface, referred to as "carbon crusts." They are quite small and will usually fall off within 3-7 days after the treatment, revealing new pink skin beneath. 

Most clients will notice some swelling and tenderness for about 3-5 days post-treatment, particularly around the eyelids as they are most sensitive.  After that period, most clients will notice that the majority of the swelling has gone down, however, the deepest layers of the skin will still be healing for up to 8 weeks while collagen and elastin fibers are replenishing.

Plasmasthetics is more than a simple tightening treatment so the effects should last as long as they would with invasive surgery. Like all surgical and cosmetic procedures, the effects of plasma treatment are not entirely permanent as it does not stop any further aging, but, the positive results should last you years depending on the area treated, client, and quality of aftercare. The positive effects of treatment will be noticeable immediately after the first treatment, but the best results will be seen after 4 weeks.

Clients will be provided with aftercare instructions on factors that will affect the longevity of their treatment, such as sun exposure, alcohol consumption, and smoking.  As with most cosmetic and/or surgical procedures, Plasmasthetic treatments may require follow-up appointments and treatments.

Unlike Botox which paralyzes the underlying muscle to remove the face wrinkles and expression lines,  Plasmasthetics will keep your facial expressions normal, which adds to the beauty of the results.  There is no risk of over tightening and over correction, which may happen with other surgical procedures.

Plasmasthetics is a no cut, no injection, and no laser procedure so there is minimal discomfort.  However, pain is subjective.  Some clients report some discomfort and others report none at all.   A mild tingling may be felt during the procedure, but a very effective topical anesthetic is used to help alleviate any discomfort.

• Do Not cover the scabs with band-aids/plasters;
• Do Not wet or soak the scabs (Do Not workout, swim, sauna, or use hot tubs);
• Must keep area covered and avoid Any Sun exposure/tanning beds as sunscreen cannot be used until the scabs have fallen off, to prevent scarring and hypo or hyperpigmentation

After the scabs fall off up to 4-6 weeks:

• Do Not use your old make-up or old sponge on the treated area;
• Do not use any product on the treated area unless you consult your practitioner;
• Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds;
