Plasma Skin Tightening

Plasma fibroblast skin tightening is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses a device to deliver plasma energy to the skin's surface to tighten and rejuvenate the skin.

The device used for this procedure creates a tiny plasma arc, which causes superficial damage to the skin's surface. This triggers the body's natural healing response, which includes the production of new collagen and elastin fibers.

Collagen and elastin are proteins that provide structure and elasticity to the skin. As we age, the production of collagen and elastin slows down, leading to sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines. By stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin fibers, plasma fibroblast skin tightening can improve the appearance of sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles.

During the procedure, a numbing cream is applied to the treatment area, and then the device is used to deliver the plasma energy in a series of small dots. This creates a "grid" of tiny scabs on the skin's surface, which eventually fall off, revealing smoother, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin.

Plasma fibroblast skin tightening is typically used on the face, neck, and décolletage, but can also be used on other parts of the body. The procedure has minimal downtime and can be performed in a single session, although some patients may require multiple sessions for optimal results.

What are Fibroblast?

Fibroblasts are cells found in connective tissue that are responsible for producing and maintaining the extracellular matrix (ECM), which is the non-cellular component of tissue that provides structure and support. The ECM includes a network of proteins, such as collagen and elastin, as well as proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans, which help to maintain hydration and flexibility of the tissue.

Fibroblasts play a crucial role in wound healing and tissue repair. When tissue is damaged, fibroblasts migrate to the site of injury and begin to produce new collagen and other components of the ECM. As the new tissue is formed, the fibroblasts help to reestablish the structural integrity of the tissue.

Fibroblasts are also involved in the aging process. As we age, the production of collagen and other components of the ECM decreases, leading to a loss of skin elasticity and the development of wrinkles and fine lines. Fibroblast function can also be affected by external factors such as UV radiation and pollution, which can accelerate the aging process.

In cosmetic treatments such as micro-needling and plasma fibroblast skin tightening, the goal is to stimulate the fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin, thereby improving the appearance of the skin.

What is plasma energy?

Plasma energy is a form of energy that is created by ionizing gas molecules. Plasma is often referred to as the "fourth state of matter," as it is distinct from solid, liquid, and gas states. In plasma, gas molecules are ionized, meaning they lose or gain electrons, creating a mixture of negatively charged electrons and positively charged ions.

Plasma energy can be harnessed for a variety of applications, including in the medical and cosmetic fields. In cosmetic procedures such as plasma fibroblast skin tightening, plasma energy is used to stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin fibers in the skin.

The plasma energy is delivered to the skin's surface using a device that creates a tiny plasma arc, which causes superficial damage to the skin. This triggers the body's natural healing response, which includes the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. As new collagen and elastin are produced, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking.

Plasma energy can also be used in medical procedures such as plasma therapy, where plasma from a patient's own blood is used to promote healing and tissue regeneration. In this case, the plasma is obtained through a process called blood spinning, where the patient's blood is centrifuged to separate the plasma from other components of the blood. The plasma is then injected into the site of injury or inflammation, where it can stimulate tissue repair and regeneration.
