The aging process occurs everywhere in your body, but some places are simply more obvious, such as around your face and neck. More specifically, if you find yourself with increasingly saggy jowls and a neck that’s starting to form large rings due to sagging skin, you’re certainly not alone.
Here at Warrenton Dermatology & Skin Therapy Center, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Juan-Carlos Caballero and our team are well versed in the many ways that aging can affect your face, and we’re prepared for it.
A great example of our advanced anti-aging treatment solutions is plasma fibroblast skin tightening therapy with the Plasma Pen™ device — which is an excellent choice for strengthening and improving skin quality, which equals smoother, firmer looking skin.
To better understand how plasma fibroblast skin tightening therapy works, it’s helpful to have a good handle on what we’re up against. Aging skin, especially around your eyes, lower face, and neck, occurs due to three main reasons:
While there’s little we can do about these forces, we can fight back with innovative technologies that reboot the key ingredients for youthful skin — better structural support.
At our practice, we’ve done our homework and offer only treatments that are backed by science and have an excellent track record, which perfectly describes our fibroblast therapy with Plasma Pen.
With this approach, we deliver controlled thermal (heat) energy into your skin by ionizing atmospheric nitrogen into active plasma. The device we use transforms electrical energy into electrostatic energy to create a plasma discharge.
We use these discharges to create micro-injuries across the surface of your skin to encourage fibroblast activity. Fibroblasts are critical for maintaining the structure of your body’s tissues, as they secrete key structural proteins like collagen and elastin.
So, by encouraging fibroblast activity in your treatment areas, we can improve skin quality and firmness with a refreshed, stronger support matrix.
Our Plasma Pen treatment is ideal for the delicate eye area, drooping jawline, and crepey neck skin. To tackle these areas, we start by applying a topical anesthetic, and then evenly treat the target areas using the Plasma Pen.
Right after your treatment, you’ll notice immediate results as your skin tightens (mostly due to inflammation) in response to the plasma energy. From there, your results will continue to improve over time, as new collagen and elastin come online to improve skin quality and firmness.
In most cases, our clients enjoy these great results for two to three years, at which point you can return for another plasma fibroblast therapy treatment to keep your eye area, jawline and neck looking youthful.
