Plasma Pen Non-Surgical Facelift

After going through a consultation and signing the consent form, we will take some photographs for before and after records. Then, the treatment area will be disinfected with alcohol swaps and we can assist you to apply the topical anesthetic cream for up to 30 minutes. (You must bring your own numbing cream) Then we start working on the area with the plasma fibroblast device. During the procedure, you are likely to feel heat and discomfort in the treatment area, but treatment will only last between 10 – 30minutes depending on the size of the area being targeted.

Even though the down time is not comparable to the cosmetic surgery, but there is sAs opposed to surgery, some people can return to work the same day, as there is very little downtime, although you will have swelling and possible bruising. Depends on the area of the treatment and different skin type, you may experience a bit of swelling or excessive one which only last up to 5 days. You can sleep a bit elevated at night to avoid excess swelling in the morning.

You are likely to feel a burning sensation after treatment, but that will usually disappear in the space of a few hours. You will be provided with the specifically designed and packed After Care Kit and instruction that you are suggested to follow strictly. 

Following treatment, it is normal to have some swelling. This can be significant around the eyes and can last for several days and may lead to interference with vision in the initial period. 

Crusting will usually develop over the treated areas; this will often initially be brown or black on the surface of the skin and flake off over the following days. It is essential not to pick at this crusting as this may lead to infection or scarring. Occasionally the treated area may become a little weepy, this is the natural healing period. It is crucial to follow our after-care recommendations. Carbon crusts CANNOT be scratched or removed. Drying skin by dabbing with a clean, lint-free cloth is allowed. Sports, swimming and sauna are not permitted until crusts fall off. SPF 50 must be used on the treated area constantly for a minimum of 1 month after treatment & recommend up to 12 weeks (3 months ). 

One treatment is usually enough to achieve desired results. After 1 month, on check-up appointment, the practitioner determines if an additional treatment is necessary.

The results are expected to last approximately one year. I typically recommend two treatments for maximum results 8 weeks apart.

Plasma skin tightening is more than a simple tightening treatment. Excess Skin is actually shrunk, and the wrinkles reduced, so the results should last very well comparing to botox or fillers. 

The effects of this treatment are not totally permanent as it does not stop any further aging, BUT the positive results should last you 1-3 years depending on the area treated. The positive effects of treatment will be noticeable immediately, but the best results will be seen after 4 weeks. For some clients an additional treatment may be required after 8 weeks for maximum results. There are lifestyle factors that can prevent the results from lasting as long as they can, such as smoking, alcohol consumption and prolonged sun exposure. 

Those planning on treatment should also be aware that race and genetics affect the length of the beneficial effects. The aging process will continue and — as with any cosmetic procedure — your improved appearance due to an eye lift will not last indefinitely. And at some point, in the future, you might want to consider repeating the procedure.

The number of treatments needed may vary on the condition of the area being treated, age of the client, Fitzpatrick skin type, skins laxity, the desired degree of correction and the client’s response to the treatment. Most clients see results instantly and this continues to improve over the new 2-4 weeks. More treatments may be required to get better results although it is uncommon to need more than two treatments. Appointments must be spaced out 8-12 weeks apart.
