Plasma pen treatment, also known as fibroblast, is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses a pen-like device to deliver controlled heat to the skin, stimulating collagen production and tissue regeneration. This process aims to tighten and rejuvenate the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and other skin imperfections. This treatment requires healing time.
Who This Treatment Is For
Fibroblast plasma treatment is designed for adults who are looking for a non-surgical alternative to address skin laxity, fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, and skin imperfections. Ideal candidates are generally in good health with realistic expectations about outcomes and recovery.
Consultation & Skin Assessment
A thorough consultation and skin assessment are required before any treatment takes place. During this step, your practitioner will:
- Review your full medical and skin history
- Assess your skin type, tone, and condition
- Discuss your goals and expected outcomes
- Determine whether fibroblast plasma treatment is appropriate for you
- Answer any questions you may have about the procedure
This consultation ensures your safety and helps us tailor the treatment to your individual needs.
Aftercare & Healing Expectations
Healing is an important part of this treatment. Please plan accordingly:
- Downtime: Expect 5–10 days of visible healing, during which small carbon crusts (scabs) will form at the treatment sites — this is a normal and expected part of the process.
- Redness & swelling: Some redness and swelling are common in the first few days following treatment.
- Sun protection: Strict sun avoidance and daily SPF application are essential during the healing period and for several weeks after.
- Skincare restrictions: Avoid active skincare ingredients (such as retinol, acids, and exfoliants) until the skin has fully healed.
- Results timeline: Final results develop gradually over 6–12 weeks as collagen remodelling continues beneath the skin's surface.
- Multiple sessions: Some clients may require more than one session to achieve their desired outcome.
Potential Risks & Side Effects
As with any aesthetic treatment, there are potential risks and side effects to be aware of. These may include:
- Temporary redness, swelling, and tenderness
- Hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin), particularly in clients with medium to darker skin tones
- Hypopigmentation (lightening of the skin)
- Scarring in rare cases
- Infection if aftercare instructions are not followed
Our practitioner will discuss all risks with you during your consultation and provide personalised aftercare guidance to minimise complications.
