Fibroblast Plasma-Lift in Beverly Hills, CA
FIBROBLAST PLASMA PEN
The Fibroblast Plasma Pen is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that can be used to treat all of these various skin concerns. This device shoots an electrical discharge to the skin that induces superficial micro trauma. This micro-trauma stimulates the healing process for the creation of new, rejuvenated, tight, and smooth tissue over 8-12 weeks. Collagen and elastin are produced, plumping the structure of the skin to soften and eliminate lines and wrinkles.
Fibroblasting is used to treat a number of skin imperfections, including:
-
Saggy skin around eyes – eyelid tightening
-
Skin tags and sunspots
-
Acne scars
-
Loose stomach skin post pregnancy
-
Wrinkles and lines around the mouth
-
Excess, sagging skin on neck / jowls
-
Loose skin under arms
-
Lines on the forehead
-
Necklines (turkey neck)

How Long Is The Downtime?
You may experience some mild swelling for the first few days and carbon crusts (scabs) that form due to the plasma pen. It is very important to avoid the sun for the first week or so, while your skin is healing. If you need to be out in the sun, wear a hat that will shade the entire area you received the treatment. After the tiny scabs shed off, you’ll want to minimize the risk of hyper-pigmentation and apply SPF 60+. You have to take care of your skin as it is considered fresh new skin. Proper post-care and maintenance is key to having long-lasting results.
BEFORE AND AFTER YOUR PLASMA FIBROBLASTING TREATMENT
Prep Your Skin
At least three to four weeks prior to your fibroblasting treatment, you should avoid tanning your skin. This includes tanning beds, spray tanning, etc. If you have darker-pigmented skin, you should use SPF 30 or higher three to four weeks prior to treatment. If you experience or are more likely to have hyperpigmentation (overproduction of pigment in the skin), please call and we can recommend products that can help.
There are procedures that you’ll need to avoid having done in the same area where you will have Fibroblast Pen treatment. These include chemical peels, botox or fillers, microneedling, and laser therapy. Surgical procedures must have a waiting period before and after the Fibroblast Pen of at least 9 or 10 months. You’ll also want to avoid using facial acids like Retin A, salicylic, and glycolic. If you are planning any of the aforementioned procedures, it is important to schedule a consultation to discuss the pre and post-time-frame to avoid these procedures.
Post Treatment Care
It is normal to experience a stinging sensation immediately following the procedure, but this usually only lasts for about an hour. If the area becomes swollen, you may apply cold packs, but make sure they are covered with a clean cloth and do not put ice directly on the affected area. If possible, avoid taking any anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen, Advil, or aspirin. We will provide you with post-treatment instructions, but here are some things to avoid immediately following the treatment:
-
Cleanse the treated area for at least a day using room temperature water.
-
Sleep on your back and elevate head to reduce swelling (if area treated was your face or neck area).
-
Avoid exposure to heat, steam or sweat. This can intensify any inflammation you have from the treatment.
-
Avoid sunblock, makeup, creams or other cosmetic products for 7 days, as they may irritate the treated area of skin.
Other things to keep in mind:
-
Do not pick at the tiny crusts that form. They will eventually fall off naturally.
-
Avoid using washcloths or other abrasive materials to clean the treated area.
-
Do not stand under hot water in the shower or submerse the treated area in hot water for at least 3 or 4 days.
-
When showering, avoid letting shower gels or hair products come into contact with the treated area.
-
Avoid wearing contact lenses for 72 hours if your treatment is around the eye area.
-
No exfoliating treatments for 21 days.
-
Do not wear make-up until all scabs have fallen off.
-
Avoid sun exposure and keep area protected from the sun for at least 3 months to avoid hyperpigmentation.
-
Do not sunbathe or use tanning beds for at least 3 months after your procedure.
Additional important information:
-
Maintain a healthy diet to maximize your results and avoid smoking and alcohol.
-
Although you will experience immediate lifting and tightening, be aware that the full effects of treatment will take up to 12 weeks.
-
The treated area must be completely healed in order to receive additional treatments.
