The results are long lasting, up to 3-years, but doesn’t last forever as the human body continues to age as time goes on. You will notice a positive outcome immediately after treatment and will see the positive effects of the skin tightening procedure continue for the next 2-8 weeks, post-treatment. For some, an additional treatment may be requested after 12 weeks. Of course, each individual result is subject to the number of treatments, aging process, lifestyle factors, race, genetics, smoking, sun exposure and alcohol consumption.

A top up treatment is recommended at 12 – 18 months out.

The number of treatments required will vary according to the condition being treated, skin’s tonicity, the desired degree of correction and the individual’s response to the treatment. Most clients see results instantly and this continues to improve over the course of the following 12 weeks. Further treatments can be carried out to get better results, although it is uncommon to require more than two treatments. Appointments must be spaced out at least 12 weeks.

Fibroblast Plasma Skin Tightening has been shown to be a safe treatment due to its non-invasive nature.

• Immediately after treatment you will see an improvement
• There will be some tiny brown marks that have the appearance of minor scabbing, which are carbon crusts, but in 5-10 days these will flake away, revealing new pink skin beneath.
