Treatment Information & Aftercare Guide
What is Plasma Fibroblasting?
Plasma fibroblasting is a non-surgical skin tightening treatment designed to improve skin laxity, fine lines, wrinkles, and overall skin texture.
Using a specialised plasma device, tiny controlled micro-injuries are created on the skin's surface. This stimulates the body's natural healing response, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin to tighten and rejuvenate the treated area.
The treatment can be used on areas including:
Upper and lower eyelids
Crow's feet
Forehead lines
Frown lines
Nasolabial folds
Neck
Jawline
Abdomen
Arms
Other areas of skin laxity
During Your Treatment
The treatment area will be cleansed thoroughly.
A topical numbing cream will be applied to maximise comfort.
The plasma device will create a pattern of tiny dots on the skin.
You may experience a warm sensation during treatment.
Mild redness and swelling are expected immediately afterwards.
Treatment times vary depending on the area being treated.
What to Expect After Treatment
Immediately following treatment, you may experience:
Redness
Swelling
A sensation similar to mild sunburn
Small brown carbon crusts (tiny dots) on the skin
These reactions are normal and form part of the healing process.
Healing Timeline
Days 1–3
Swelling is usually at its peak, particularly around the eyes.
Redness and tightness are common.
Days 4–7
Carbon crusts begin to dry and naturally shed.
Skin may feel dry and itchy.
Days 7–14
Most crusts have fallen away naturally.
Mild pinkness may remain.
Weeks 4–12
Collagen remodelling continues.
Skin tightening and rejuvenation become progressively more noticeable.
Final results can continue to develop for up to 12 weeks and beyond.
Aftercare Instructions
First 24 Hours
Keep the treated area clean and dry.
Avoid touching the area unnecessarily.
Do not apply makeup unless specifically advised by your practitioner.
Avoid excessive sweating.
Important: Do Not Pick the Crusts
The small carbon crusts must be allowed to fall away naturally.
Do NOT:
Pick
Scratch
Rub
Peel
Premature removal can increase the risk of infection, delayed healing, scarring, and pigmentation changes.
Cleansing
Cleanse gently as advised by your practitioner.
Pat dry with a clean towel.
Avoid harsh cleansers, exfoliants, acids, retinoids, or active skincare products until the skin has fully healed.
Moisturising
Use only the recommended aftercare products provided or advised by your practitioner.
Keep the skin hydrated while avoiding excessive product application.
Sun Protection
Sun protection is essential following plasma fibroblasting.
Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 8–12 weeks.
Apply SPF 50 daily once the skin has healed sufficiently.
Wear a wide-brimmed hat and seek shade whenever possible.
Failure to protect the skin from UV exposure may increase the risk of hyperpigmentation.
Avoid for 7–14 Days
Swimming pools
Hot tubs
Saunas
Steam rooms
Sunbeds
Intensive exercise
Excessive sweating
Facial treatments
Waxing and hair removal treatments in the treated area
Makeup
Avoid makeup until all crusts have naturally fallen away or as advised by your practitioner.
When makeup is reintroduced, use clean brushes and products.
Results
You may notice:
Firmer, tighter skin
Improved skin texture
Softening of fine lines and wrinkles
Enhanced skin quality and tone
Results continue to improve as collagen production increases during the healing process.
Multiple treatments may be recommended depending on the area treated and the desired outcome.
