Difference Between Plasma Fibroblast and Advanced Electrolysis
Plasma Fibroblast Therapy:
Mechanism: Plasma fibroblast therapy uses a technology that creates an arc of plasma that heats the skin's surface, stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin. This can help reduce wrinkles, sagging, and skin imperfections.
Depth of Treatment: Plasma treatment typically affects the dermis, which is deeper compared to advanced electrolysis. It targets skin tightening and rejuvenation by inducing controlled thermal damage, leading to enhanced collagen production.
Applications: Primarily used for skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and improving skin texture. It can also be effective for treating scars, blemishes, and stretch marks.
Healing Time: Post-treatment, patients may experience redness, swelling, and a crusting phase as the skin heals. The healing duration can vary based on the treated area and individual's skin type but may take longer compared to advanced electrolysis.
Advanced Electrolysis:
Mechanism: Advanced electrolysis involves using a precise electrical current to target specific skin concerns, such as broken capillaries, skin tags, and pigmentation issues. It aims to destruct unwanted tissue at the surface level.
Depth of Treatment: It primarily targets the epidermis, resulting in minimal tissue disruption. The procedure is designed to treat specific concerns rather than inducing broad collagen remodeling.
Applications: Most commonly used for spot treatments, including the removal of skin tags, pigmentation, and minor vascular lesions. It targets very specific areas rather than overall skin rejuvenation.
Healing Time: Like plasma fibroblast, advanced electrolysis can also lead to crusting, redness, and swelling. However, due to its focus on localized treatment, the recovery time is generally shorter, and the crusting usually resolves within a week.
Common Aspects of Both Treatments:
Minimally Invasive: Both procedures are considered minimally invasive and tend to avoid significant bleeding or pain. A small amount of discomfort may be experienced during the treatments.
Tissue Preservation: The surrounding tissue remains undamaged in both procedures, facilitating a quicker recovery while ensuring minimal side effects.
Post-Treatment Care: After both treatments, it's important to avoid touching or picking at the treated areas. Crusting and itching are common post-treatment sensations that indicate healing.
Important Consideration:
Both treatments are not recommended for individuals prone to keloid scarring or inflammatory pigmentation, as both conditions may worsen following any skin treatment.
Conclusion:
Understanding the distinctions between plasma fibroblast therapy and advanced electrolysis can help in selecting the most appropriate treatment based on individual skin concerns. Consulting with a qualified practitioner will provide tailored recommendations to ensure optimal outcomes for your skin type and concerns.
Expected Results from Advanced Electrolysis and Plasma Fibroblast Treatments
Advanced Electrolysis
Expected Results:
Targeted Skin Improvements: Advanced electrolysis is effective for the removal of specific skin imperfections, including skin tags, broken capillaries, and pigmentation issues. Patients often notice a significant reduction or complete removal of these imperfections shortly after treatment.
Minimal Scarring: If aftercare instructions are followed carefully, the risk of scarring is minimal. The body will naturally eliminate the treated imperfection, leading to smoother skin in the area.
Session Requirements: Depending on the extent of the skin condition and the size of the treatment area, patients may require multiple sessions. These sessions are usually spaced a few weeks apart, allowing the treated area adequate time to heal.
Post-Treatment Changes:
Initially, the treated area may appear red or slightly swollen, and crusting may occur as part of the healing process. Itching is also common and signifies the body’s healing response. Most of these symptoms subside within a week.
Plasma Fibroblast
Expected Results:
Skin Tightening and Rejuvenation: Plasma fibroblast therapy often produces noticeable results in skin tightening, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and improving overall skin texture. Many patients report a refreshed and more youthful appearance after the treatment.
Collagen Boost: The treatment stimulates collagen production, leading to ongoing improvements in the skin over weeks to months after the procedure, as the body continues to heal and regenerate collagen.
Session Requirements: Similar to advanced electrolysis, plasma fibroblast treatments often require multiple sessions for optimal results, especially for larger areas or more extensive skin concerns. Sessions are typically scheduled a few weeks apart to allow for proper healing.
Post-Treatment Changes:
Immediately after the treatment, the area may exhibit redness, swelling, and crusting. These effects should gradually diminish over time, with itching being a common indication of the healing process. Most visible improvements from plasma fibroblast become more pronounced as healing progresses over several weeks.
General Aftercare for Both Treatments
Follow Instructions: It's crucial to follow all aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner to minimize risks, support healing, and optimize results.
Avoid Picking or Scratching: Patients should avoid touching, picking, or scratching the treated areas to prevent complications and potential scarring.
Sun Protection: Protect the treated area from sun exposure, as UV damage can hinder the healing process and affect results.
Conclusion
Both advanced electrolysis and plasma fibroblast therapies offer significant improvements for various skin conditions, enhancing skin appearance and texture. Individual results may vary based on the specific skin issues being treated and the patient's adherence to aftercare recommendations. During your initial consultation, your practitioner will provide a personalized treatment plan and set realistic expectations based on your individual skin goals and conditions.
Both plasma fibroblast therapy and advanced electrolysis can effectively treat a variety of skin concerns and imperfections. Here’s a breakdown of the areas and conditions that can be treated with each method:
Areas Treated with Advanced Electrolysis
Skin Tags: Small growths on the skin that can be removed easily with electrolysis.
Thread Veins: Also known as spider veins, these are small, visible blood vessels that can be treated to minimize their appearance.
Small Cysts: Electrolysis can effectively address small sebaceous cysts on the skin.
Milia (Hard Whiteheads): These tiny, white, keratin-filled cysts are often found around the eyes and can be safely treated.
Warts: Common warts, plantar warts, and other similar growths can be treated with electrolysis.
Verrucae: These are a type of wart that specifically affects the soles of the feet and can be removed.
Areas Treated with Plasma Fibroblast Therapy
Skin Tightening and Rejuvenation: Although not directly related to specific lesions, plasma fibroblast can improve overall skin texture and firmness, making it suitable for areas like the neck and décolletage.
Scarring: Plasma fibroblast can effectively reduce the appearance of various scars, including acne scars.
Stretch Marks: Treatment can help diminish the visibility of stretch marks by promoting collagen regeneration.
Age Spots (Solar Lentigines): Plasma therapy can help lighten these pigmented spots and improve skin tone.
Moles (Non-Cancerous): Non-cancerous moles may be treated with plasma, although caution is advised, and any suspicious lesions should be examined by a dermatologist first.
Areas Commonly Treated with Both
Facial Areas: Both treatments can be utilized on different parts of the face, including around the eyes, cheeks, and forehead, to address various imperfections like age spots, scars, and milia.
Considerations
NHS Availability: As noted, treatments such as plasma fibroblast and advanced electrolysis are generally considered cosmetic and are typically not available through the NHS.
Over-the-Counter Treatments: Many over-the-counter treatments for these conditions can be ineffective compared to professional methods like electrolysis and plasma fibroblast.
Conclusion
Both plasma fibroblast and advanced electrolysis offer effective solutions for a range of skin conditions that can be unsightly or uncomfortable. A consultation with a qualified practitioner can help determine the most appropriate treatment for your specific concerns and desired outcomes.
