what is fibroblast skin tightening?
Fibroblast Skin Tightening, sometimes called a plasma lift, is a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure that uses a plasma pen to stimulate the production of natural collagen and elastin, resulting in tighter, smoother skin. It’s a popular choice for those seeking a nonsurgical eyelid lift, fibroblast wrinkle reduction, or overall skin rejuvenation.
How does plasma pen treatment work?
The plasma pen delivers a precise arc of energy, creating tiny dots on the skin. These micro-injuries trigger your body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin. Over the following weeks, treated areas become firmer and more youthful. This innovative fibroblast treatment is safe and effective and requires minimal downtime.
why choose plasma pen?
Plasma Pen treatments are designed to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate your skin. Whether you’re looking to reduce wrinkles, tighten loose skin, or improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks, Plasma Pen can provide impressive results without the downtime associated with surgery.
what areas can be treated?
Fibroblast Skin Tightening can address concerns on the eyelids (including hooded eyes), under eyes, crow’s feet, neck, jawline, stomach, and other areas. If you’re searching for a plasma pen for hooded eyes or want a nonsurgical eyelid lift, our treatment offers precise, natural-looking results.

your fibroblast journey: what to expect
During a Plasma Pen session, a specialized device is used to create tiny plasma arcs that trigger the skin’s natural healing process. The procedure is minimally invasive and typically well-tolerated, with little to no discomfort.
Before Your Treatment
Avoid sun tanning, spray tanning or sunbeds for 2-4 weeks before your treatment.
Ideally, you should use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher at least 2 times a day.
In the few weeks before your treatment, AVOID any other treatments in the area such as lasers, chemical peels, fillers, micro-needling and other similar interventions as these may prevent you from receiving a Plasma Pen treatment at our appointment time.
We recommend supplementing your diet with Vitamins C, A, E, Magnesium, Copper, Iron, and Zinc for 2 weeks before your treatment.
Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol intake, as these have negative effects on collagen formation and healing.
If you have a history of cold sores or HSV around the area being treated, please advise your practitioner. We advise that you reach out to your PCP to obtain a prescription for Valtrex to take before the procedure.
During Your Treatment
One of our experts will apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. The plasma pen is applied to targeted areas, creating tiny dots. Most sessions last between 30 and 60 minutes.
Results You’ll Love
Plasma Pen treatments provide gradual improvements to your skin’s tone, texture, and tightness. You can expect to see noticeable results in the weeks following your treatment, with continued improvements over time.
Post-Care Instructions
– You may resume *most* activities immediately after any treatment but you may not look your best during the healing process. Clients usually have 4-10 days of dots (5-7 days of dots on average), usually followed by some redness that will gradually diminish.
– Depending on the area of your treatment and your level of comfort going in public, you may want to minimize in-person appointments until your dots fall off (approximately a week).
– Do not pick scabs! Removing the scabs prematurely may result in scarring and discoloration. Allow scabs to come off on their own. This will ensure the best possible result and avoid scarring, hyperpigmentation and infection. If you feel the scabs are accidentally being rubbed off prematurely, then protect them with by covering them with Aquaphor to prevent falling off too early. The longer the scabs stay put the longer the skin has a chance to heal itself with the protection of the scab.
– Though swelling and redness is the inflammatory response we want to achieve with this treatment, if the swelling or discomfort seems excessive you may apply a CLEAN ice roller or ice pack on the treated area (10 minutes on and off) for the first day after treatment. If you experience excessive swelling and discomfort on day 3 and beyond, then use of anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs) and anti-histamine medicines can help.
– Keep the treated area clean using a mild, unscented cleanser. PAT DRY! Apply Nectar or any other product recommended by your provider immediately after.
– Do not apply makeup (even mineral makeup) until the scabbing has fallen off completely. This is to avoid infection or disrupting the scabs prematurely.
– IMPORTANT! Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds to the treated area. Once the scabbing process is complete, always apply broad spectrum SPF 50 or higher to the area for a minimum of 3 months after your last treatment. This skin is still healing and can easily become damaged by any UV rays and may cause hyperpigmentation and/or premature aging.
– Dry healing (other than Nectar) is preferred but if your scabs become unbearably itchy, then you may safely apply a post treatment balm recommended by your provider throughout the day to help manage any itchy sensation.
– Taking collagen, vitamin c and L-lysine supplements over the course of your healing process can give your immune system and collagen production a boost.
– Avoid smoking.
– Avoid shaving over any area that has been treated until the skin has fully healed.
– Exercising right after a treatment is not recommended because any heat, steam or sweat can add to inflammation. Do not use any pools, hot tubs or saunas until after the dots have fallen off and your skin returns to a more normal state.
– After the dots have fallen off on their own, you may use makeup to cover any redness. If your skin is ready and not too tender, using a gentle chemical or enzyme exfoliant can help create a smoother surface from the peeling that is typical at this stage of healing.
– Do not use anything harsh on your skin (like acids, peels or physical exfoliants) until you have reached the 6-8 weeks post treatment healing point. Use common sense – if it doesn’t feel good, then don’t do it!
Stages of Healing
Day 1: Try to lay propped up with pillows. Some discomfort is normal. The swelling will likely be worse in the mornings and lessen towards the evening. If you have had your upper and/or lower eyes treated, you may find it difficult to open your eyes the following morning due to swelling, however it will subside throughout the day. The area will feel like a bad sunburn.
Day 2: The swelling typically peaks by day 2. Swelling can also spread to the eye area even if your eyes weren’t treated. DON’T PANIC, this is perfectly normal. The upper and lower eye are all connected, therefore the fluids from the upper eye will drain to the lower eye area. This too shall pass.
Day 3: You may notice an improvement in the swelling and the “dots” will start to crust/scab over. The scabs must not be picked, allow them to fall off on their own. Your level of discomfort will have subsided a bit. For those who experienced the under eye swelling, this will still be present.
Day 4: Some mild residual swelling may still be present on the upper eyelids. Discomfort should diminish.
Day 5: Swelling should be at a minimum or completely gone. Scabs may still be present. You may use Aquaphor to protect if scabs are accidentally getting rubbed off prematurely.
Days 6-10: You are patiently waiting for the remaining scabs to fall off on their own. It is normal for the new skin under the scabs to be pink or red and peeling as the healing process continues.
Weeks 2-8: After scabs fall off, you may have tender, peeling or textured skin for a few days or weeks. Once your skin is no longer tender, you may safety use a non-physical, gentle, enzyme exfoliant to slough off peeling skin. After scabs fall off, you may also use healing serums, lotions and make up. Each day, your skin will progressively return to its original coloration and texture.
Remember it will take 12 weeks for healing process to cycle through completely and for skin to be refreshed and for healing to complete. (You may continue to see results for up to 6 months.) Depending on laxity and desired results, you may require multiple treatments on the same area. Areas may be treated every 3 months to let the collagen heal and turn over.
