As we age, the dermal layer thins which causes the loss of elasticity and our skin does not bounce back like it used to and starts to become saggy. Did you know, there is a treatment called Fibroblast Skin Tightening that helps reverse the signs of aging? Read on to learn more.
What Is Fibroblast Skin Tightening? Fibroblast skin tightening is a non-invasive skin, non-surgical type of tightening treatment that helps reverse the signs of aging that is FDA approved.
Fibroblast skin tightening, also referred to as Fibroblast Plasma Skin Tightening, is the best way to tighten and lift sagging skin due to aging. Not only does it help with tightening skin it can also help with acne scars,
How Does Fibroblast Skin Treatment Work?
The technician will use a skin tightening tool referred to as the “plasma pen” to deliver tiny electrical currents creating a plasma gas. The gas then travels from the end of the pen to the skin. The plasma produced is delivered to your skin by the treatment causes proteins under the skin to break down, causing tissue renewal which in turn causes the skin to tighten.
Is Fibroblast Skin Treatment Painful?
Before treatment begins, there will be a numbing cream applied to the client’s skin. The numbing cream ensures that you will feel minimal to no discomfort. For some individuals who have a lower pain tolerance or a sensitive area like the eyelids are done, the client can feel mild discomfort. Most clients are able to sit back and rest during the entire procedure.
How Long Does the Procedure Take?
The length of time it can take depends on the area of skin that is receiving the treatment. Smaller areas for treatment like the eye area can take an hour to an hour and a half, while larger areas like underarm treatment will take longer.
Are There any Side Effects?
After the treatment, client’s typically experience redness and some swelling. It is important not to rub the treatment areas since it will only irritate the skin. It is usual for small black to brown crusts to develop in the treatment area. Do not remove these as it can lead to infection or potential scarring.
