Plasma Fibroblast Treatment 

Refine, Tighten and Renew Your Skin

Discover a non-surgical approach to skin refinement with elusy’s Plasma Fibroblast Pen Treatment.

Designed to improve the appearance of selected areas of loose, crepey or ageing skin, this precision treatment creates controlled points of thermal energy across the skin’s surface. The natural healing response that follows may help the treated area appear firmer, smoother and more refined over time.

Every Elusy treatment begins with a detailed consultation to assess your skin, concerns and suitability.

What Is Plasma Fibroblast Pen Treatment?

Plasma Fibroblast Pen Treatment is a cosmetic procedure performed using a handheld electrical device.

The device creates a small plasma arc between its tip and the skin. This produces controlled, superficial points of heat without the treatment tip continuously cutting across the skin.

The treatment creates a visible pattern of tiny dots across the selected area. These points form small crusts as the skin begins its natural recovery process.

Plasma Fibroblast Treatment is not surgery, a laser treatment or an injection. The word “plasma” refers to ionised gas and not the plasma found in blood.

How Does the Treatment Work?

The plasma pen delivers controlled thermal energy to carefully selected points on the surface of the skin.

This creates an immediate superficial contraction in the treated area and initiates a healing response. As the skin recovers, gradual changes in texture, tightness and overall appearance may develop.

Although the treatment is commonly marketed as stimulating fibroblasts, collagen and elastin, the available clinical evidence is more limited than for many established medical resurfacing procedures. Results should therefore be described carefully and cannot be guaranteed.

What Can Plasma Fibroblast Treatment Improve?

Treatment may help improve the appearance of:

  • Mild loose or lax-looking skin

  • Fine lines

  • Crepey skin texture

  • Upper-eyelid skin laxity

  • Lines beneath or around the eyes

  • Crow’s feet

  • Lines around the mouth

  • Loose-looking skin around the jawline

  • Selected neck lines

  • Small areas of uneven skin texture

  • Certain stretch marks or scars, following assessment

The procedure is most appropriate for carefully selected, localised concerns. It is not a substitute for surgical lifting or the removal of significant excess skin.

Treatment Areas

Plasma Fibroblast Treatment may be considered for areas including:

  • Upper eyelids

  • Lower-eye area

  • Crow’s feet

  • Forehead lines

  • Lines around the mouth

  • Upper lip

  • Jawline

  • Neck

  • Décolletage

  • Abdomen

  • Selected scars or stretch marks

Not every area or concern is suitable. Particular care is required when treating around the eyes.

Your practitioner will confirm whether your chosen treatment area can be treated safely.

The Elusy Plasma Fibroblast Experience

Personalised Consultation

Your appointment begins with a detailed skin and medical assessment.

We will discuss:

  • Your treatment goals

  • Your skin type and tone

  • Previous cosmetic procedures

  • Medical conditions and medication

  • Your history of scarring or pigmentation

  • Expected downtime

  • Possible risks and complications

  • Alternative treatment options

Clinical photographs may be taken to support treatment planning and progress reviews.

Preparation

The skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared. A topical anaesthetic may be used where appropriate and permitted.

Precision Treatment

The plasma pen is held close to the skin to create a controlled pattern of small treatment points.

The number, spacing and intensity of these points will depend on the area being treated and the device protocol.

Soothing and Protection

Following treatment, appropriate soothing or protective products may be applied.

You will receive detailed written aftercare instructions before leaving the clinic.

Benefits of Plasma Fibroblast Treatment

  • Non-surgical procedure

  • No surgical incisions

  • Targets small, localised areas

  • May improve the appearance of mild skin laxity

  • May soften fine lines and crepey texture

  • Treatment can be tailored to specific concerns

  • Gradual, natural-looking changes

  • Can be used on selected facial and body areas

Results and healing experiences vary significantly between clients.

What Does the Treatment Feel Like?

You may experience:

  • Heat

  • Prickling

  • Stinging

  • A brief burning sensation

  • Tenderness in sensitive areas

Comfort levels vary according to the treatment area, device settings and individual sensitivity.

Treatment around the eyes can feel particularly sensitive. Your practitioner will monitor your comfort throughout the procedure.

What Will My Skin Look Like Afterwards?

Immediately after treatment, the area may appear red, swollen and covered with a pattern of tiny dark dots.

These dots develop into small superficial crusts. They are an expected part of the healing process and must be allowed to fall away naturally.

Temporary effects can include:

  • Redness

  • Swelling

  • Tenderness

  • Warmth

  • Tightness

  • Itching

  • Dryness

  • Crusting

  • Temporary darkening or lightening of the skin

Swelling may be more noticeable when treating the eyelids or under-eye area.

How Long Is the Downtime?

Visible crusting commonly lasts for several days, although healing varies.

Redness or discolouration can remain after the crusts have fallen away. In some clients, this may persist for several weeks or longer.

You should plan treatment carefully around work, photographs, holidays, weddings and other important occasions.

Your practitioner will give you a personalised recovery estimate, but an exact healing time cannot be guaranteed.

Plasma Fibroblast Aftercare

Correct aftercare is essential.

You may be advised to:

  • Keep the treated area clean and dry

  • Avoid touching, scratching or rubbing the skin

  • Allow crusts to fall away naturally

  • Avoid picking or removing the dots

  • Use only the products recommended by Luxia

  • Avoid makeup until permitted

  • Avoid retinoids, acids and exfoliating products

  • Avoid saunas, steam rooms and swimming

  • Avoid intense exercise during early healing

  • Avoid sunbeds

  • Avoid direct sun exposure

  • Use high-level broad-spectrum sun protection once appropriate

  • Sleep with your head elevated after treatment around the eyes

  • Contact Luxia if you experience an unexpected reaction

Picking the crusts can increase the risk of infection, scarring and pigmentation changes.

When Will I See Results?

Some tightening may appear immediately because of the controlled thermal effect on the skin.

Further changes may develop gradually as the treated area heals and settles over the following weeks and months.

Results depend on:

  • Your skin quality

  • The treatment area

  • The degree of laxity

  • The device and settings used

  • Your healing response

  • Your lifestyle

  • Your adherence to aftercare

  • The number of treatments completed

Results cannot be guaranteed and may not be permanent because the natural ageing process continues.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Some clients may choose one treatment, while others may benefit from an additional session after the skin has completely healed.

Treatment should not be repeated prematurely.

Your recommended plan will depend on the size of the area, the degree of laxity, your previous response and the device manufacturer’s protocol.

Important Risks and Possible Complications

Plasma Fibroblast Treatment intentionally creates controlled thermal injuries on the skin. It therefore carries risks that must be considered carefully.

Possible complications include:

  • Prolonged redness

  • Prolonged swelling

  • Infection

  • Delayed healing

  • Persistent tenderness

  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

  • Hypopigmentation

  • Uneven skin colour

  • Scarring

  • Raised or indented scars

  • Changes in skin texture

  • Visible treatment marks

  • Unsatisfactory or uneven results

  • Eye injury when treatment is performed near the eyes

  • A need for corrective medical treatment

Adverse-event reports have described persistent marks, pigmentation changes, cysts and scarring after plasma-pen procedures. These reports do not establish how frequently complications occur, but they demonstrate why careful client selection, practitioner training, device quality and aftercare are important.

Plasma Treatment and Skin Tone

Plasma Fibroblast Treatment can cause pigmentation changes, particularly in clients with medium to deep skin tones or a history of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Clients with darker Fitzpatrick skin types may have an increased risk of prolonged discolouration following thermal injury.

A detailed assessment is required. Luxia may recommend an alternative treatment when the risk of pigmentation or scarring is considered too high.

A patch test may be advised, but a successful patch test cannot eliminate every risk.

Am I Suitable?

Treatment may be considered for adults with mild, localised laxity who understand the risks and expected downtime.

It may not be suitable if you:

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding

  • Have an active skin infection

  • Have an active cold sore outbreak

  • Have open wounds or irritated skin

  • Have uncontrolled diabetes

  • Have a condition affecting healing

  • Are immunosuppressed

  • Have a blood-clotting condition

  • Take medication that affects healing or sensitivity

  • Have a pacemaker or implanted electrical device

  • Have metal implants close to the treatment area

  • Have a history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring

  • Have a history of significant pigmentation changes

  • Have recently used certain prescription acne medications

  • Have recently undergone surgery or intensive resurfacing

  • Have unrealistic expectations

  • Cannot follow the required aftercare

Suitability requirements can vary according to the device used.

Never stop prescribed medication unless instructed by the healthcare professional who prescribed it.

When Should Treatment Be Postponed?

Your appointment may need to be rearranged if you have:

  • Sunburn

  • A recent tan

  • Inflamed or broken skin

  • Active acne in the treatment area

  • An infection

  • A cold sore

  • Recent waxing or chemical peeling

  • A recent laser or resurfacing treatment

  • An upcoming event that does not allow sufficient healing time

Always inform Luxia of changes to your health, medication or skin before your appointment.

Plasma Fibroblast vs Surgical Blepharoplasty

Plasma Fibroblast Treatment may improve the appearance of mild upper-eyelid laxity in suitable clients.

A surgical blepharoplasty physically removes or repositions excess tissue and can produce a more significant result.

Plasma treatment cannot deliver the same outcome as surgery and may not be appropriate for clients with substantial excess skin, visual obstruction, prominent fat pads or complex eyelid concerns.

A surgical consultation may be recommended when appropriate.

Plasma Fibroblast vs Laser Resurfacing

Both treatments use controlled energy to create a skin-renewal response, but they use different devices and treatment methods.

Medical laser resurfacing may offer more predictable protocols for certain skin concerns, but it also involves risks and downtime.

The best option depends on your skin type, concern, medical history and desired result.

Plasma Fibroblast vs Microneedling

Microneedling creates controlled channels using fine needles and is generally selected to improve texture, scars and overall skin quality.

Plasma Fibroblast Treatment creates superficial thermal points and may be considered when mild skin tightening is the main goal.

Your practitioner can explain which option is more appropriate for your skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

​

Is Plasma Fibroblast Treatment surgical?

No. It does not involve surgical incisions or the physical removal of excess skin. However, it intentionally creates controlled thermal injuries and should not be described as risk-free.

Is it the same as PRP?

No. PRP is prepared from a sample of your blood. Plasma Fibroblast Treatment uses an electrical device to generate a small plasma arc.

Will it remove loose skin?

It may improve the appearance of mild, localised laxity. It cannot remove large amounts of excess skin or reproduce the results of surgery.

Will I have visible dots?

Yes. A pattern of small dark crusts is expected following treatment.

Can I cover the dots with makeup?

Makeup should be avoided until your practitioner confirms that the skin has healed sufficiently.

Can the crusts be removed?

No. Picking or removing the crusts can increase the risk of infection, scarring and pigmentation changes.

Is the treatment painful?

Heat, stinging and discomfort can occur. Sensitivity varies, especially around the eyelids and mouth.

Can it treat hooded eyelids?

It may improve mild laxity in carefully selected clients. Significant hooding, functional concerns or prominent fat pads may require assessment by an appropriately qualified surgical professional.

Is the treatment suitable for darker skin?

It may carry a greater risk of pigmentation changes in darker skin tones. A detailed assessment is required, and an alternative may be safer.

Are the results permanent?

The treatment cannot stop ageing. Results vary and may change over time as the skin continues to age.

Can I have Plasma Fibroblast Treatment before a holiday?

Treatment should not be performed shortly before sun exposure or travel where appropriate aftercare cannot be followed. Your practitioner will advise on safe timing.
