Plasma Pen Fibroblast Therapy

Plasma Pen Fibroblast Therapy

At Shine, we use a Plasma Pen to apply a high-frequency electric current to small areas of the skin. The process by which a Plasma Pen works is called “Fibroblasting.”

Fibroblasts are collagen and protein-producing cells just below your outermost skin layer. Fibroblasts play an important role in building the connective tissue that contributes to skin firmness and tightness.

This non-medical procedure is non-intrusive and the plasma pen tip doesn’t directly touch the skin, but instead releases a targeted current just above the skin. The current creates small holes, or micro-injuries, in the skin’s layer, and as the skin heals it tightens.

According to an 2019 article published in the PMFA journal, the thermal disruption, or heat damage, from plasma fibroblast therapy:

• breaks down proteins in the skin
• encourages tissue regeneration
• stimulates fibroblast activity
• causes tissue contraction (tightening)
