Frequently Asked Questions
What is fibroblast?
Fibroblast-skin tightening treatment is a NON-invasive or NON-surgical procedure where no scalpels or surgical instruments are used. It is an electrical arc that is transmitted through a small probe. This innovative technique cannot cause the so-called “over lifting”, as it only effects excess/loose skin which returns to its “original state”.
How long does the treatment take?
We begin by applying a topical anesthetic, which takes effect 30-35 minutes later. The procedure itself varies depending on how large the area is.
Is there anything I need to do beforehand?
I advise against the use of any cosmetic products containing alcohol or any harsh chemicals anyways.
Must not be on retinol or aha creams 4 weeks prior.
No excessive sun, if you’ve received laser or similar treatments you must wait a full 12 weeks before your appointment.
Is the procedure painful?
Being that we apply a topical anesthetic and the fact that this is a NON-invasive treatment pain will be minimal. Some patients may experience swelling, which may last 3-4 days.
Which are the most common procedures?
upper eyelids
lower eyelids
neck tightening
mid-face lifting
wrinkles

WE DO NOT TREAT MOLES OR BIRTH MARKS
Are there possible side effects?
It is an exceptionally safe procedure with virtually no side effects. Of course, like anything there are risks if not careful after your treatment it is important to avoid wetting your face on day 1, avoid direct sunlight and always use clean hands and towels when drying. You can expect mild inflammation/swelling depending on your sensitivity. It is extremely important to follow my aftercare instructions closely. Crusts will occur after the treatment and is part of the treatment, they typically fall off in 5-7 days or more if you have underlying health condition.
Can I use makeup after the treatment?
Do not use makeup after as is unsterile. First 5-6 days after the treatment and after the crusts fall off is generally safe. Use the creams I give you prior to applying light makeup.
How many treatments are required for a perfect result?
I like to avoid the word perfect because we are working with skin, and there is no such thing as perfection. Individual results vary and it all depends on your skin, health and goals. It really depends on your skin and the desired degree of correction. My clients are usually satisfied after one treatment but due to the simplicity of the procedure and the affordability in comparison to surgical and or botox procedures some opt for two or even three treatments.
How long will the results last?
The results are permanent and may be visible for up to 3-4 years. But it is important to acknowledge that the aging process is continuous and not everyone takes care of their skin the same.
What is Jet Plasma
Jet Plasma is the most advanced plasma technology used to brighten and tighten the skin, shrink pores and promote high levels of collagen regeneration. The Jet Plasma device was designed with J plasma and Cold Plasma for the best results using a strong low atmospheric plasma temperature on the surface of the skin.
Jest Plasma is used for non surgical facial treatments, acne treatments, anti inflammation, skin lightening, and treatment of hyperpigmentation.
Does Jet Plasma Hurt?
No, different from Fibroblast Plasma Jet Plasma requires no numbing because it uses a cold plasma ! It is possible to feel slight warmth in the area being treated but absolutely NO PAIN.
Are there any side effects after the treatment?
There are no significant side effects following treatment. You may experience slight redness and your skin may feel somewhat tight. However there is no recovery time required after the treatment.
What aftercare do I need to follow?
Following your treatment, the channels in the skin are open so it is important that nothing is applied to the skin for 12 hours other than what I will put on your skin.

How many treatments are required for a perfect result?
Jet Plasma treatment is done in sessions, you can choose 4, 6, or 8 sessions. the first 3 sessions will be done in the first week no longer than 25 minute appointments. After that depending on how many treatments you chose we will space them out accordingly for optimal results.
How long will the results last?
The results are permanent and may be visible for up to 3-4 years. But it is important to acknowledge that the aging process is continuous and not everyone takes care of their skin the same.
What is Stretch Mark/ Scar Camouflage?
It is a pmu technique where I match the pigments to your skin tone and with the usage of a digital device we implement pigments into the skin. I cover the discoloration of stretch marks and scars with a soft pigmentation so they are less visible.
Treatment can be done on all skin colors.
30-60% improvement can be seen in just ONE SESSION, but I recommend from 2 to 4 treatments for the best results.
Stretch marks begin as reddish or purple lesions. Over time they lose pigmentation. The Dermis is affected by prevetning the fibroblasts from forming collagen and elastin fibers.
I apply skin matched pigments into the stretch marks and scars to make them appear as less noticeable as possible. The PIGMENT is transferred over ”damaged” layer of the skin.
Results are seen right after the treatment, but the skin is still sensitive. Final results can be seen after 3-4 weeks when the ink fully disperses and the skin is fully healed.
What can you treat with this?
STRETCH MARKS, ABDOMINOPLASTY SCARS, C-SECTION SCARS, BREAST AUGMENTATION SCARS, SELF-INFLICTED SCARS
Is this treatment for al skin types?
Generally, yes! However, there are a small number of people who the treatment would not be suitable for. Your stretch marks and scars need to be at least two years old, lighter than your skin tone and completely healed.
What happen when you tan?
Your camouflaged stretch marks and scars will not change color. If you tan, your skin’s overtone will darken, but your stretch marks will remain the same color as your natural skin-toned camouflage. Overall, your stretch marks will still be camouflaged because the “white” is no longer there. In short, there’s less of an obvious contrast.
How long is the downtime?
This is a non invasive procedure similar to any pmu(powder brows, pmu eyeliner,..) treatment. Therefore, there is little to no downtime, so clients can return to work in the same day or the next day.
