Plasma Quebec

Plasma fibroblast therapy is a non-surgical skin-tightening treatment offered at our Dermapure clinics in Quebec City. An arc of plasma energy, known as a plasma flash, creates tiny controlled micro-injuries that tighten the tissue and activate the fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen and elasticity.

Book an Appointment

Plasma fibroblast therapy is most often considered by patients who would like to firm and smooth areas where the skin is thinner and more prone to laxity, such as the upper eyelids and the area around the eyes, as well as fine lines and early signs of looseness. Results develop progressively over time. It can also be planned alongside other in-clinic treatments within a broader treatment plan.

Because every patient’s skin, concerns and medical history are different, plasma fibroblast therapy at our Dermapure clinics in Quebec City always begins with a personalized consultation. Together with your specialist, you will assess whether this treatment is the most appropriate option for you and discuss what a realistic treatment plan could look like, the expected results and the possible side effects.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1

Personalized assessment

Every session begins with a one-on-one consultation to evaluate your skin’s condition and define your treatment goals. Factors like age, skin quality, and your medical history help us create a safe, personalized plan.

Step 2

Pre-treatment documentation

Photos are taken before treatment to track your skin’s evolution and measure visible improvements.

Step 3

Skin preparation and numbing

The area being treated is cleansed and prepped with a topical anesthetic or numbing cream. Once numb, the skin is disinfected to ensure a clean and controlled environment.

Step 4

The treatment process

A plasma-based technology is used to create precise micro-lesions without directly touching the skin. You may feel a warm sensation or a brief hot current—this is normal and part of how plasma fibroblast therapy activates the skin’s natural healing response.

Step 5

Post-treatment care

After treatment, the skin is gently cleansed and may be nourished with Functionalab’s Pro-Collagen Serum and Pre/Post-Treatment 2 Cream to support tissue regeneration. In certain cases, exosome therapy can be added as an optional step to help calm inflammation and accelerate tissue recovery.

Step 5

Healing and aftercare

Mild swelling and redness are common for the first 2–3 days. Carbon crusts will form and fall off naturally within 7 to 10 days. During this time, avoid sun, makeup, and harsh products. Once healed, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect your results.

Our team will guide you through each step, from cleansing to when you can safely resume your normal skin routines. Following your aftercare instructions helps reduce risks like mild hyperpigmentation and ensures a smoother recovery.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

To protect your results, avoid sun exposure for at least 4 to 6 weeks after treatment. Depending on your skin and treatment goals, 2 to 3 sessions may be suggested, spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart. For lasting results, maintenance treatments every six months are often advised.

Contraindications

This nonsurgical treatment is not suitable for everyone. It is not recommended for:

Pregnant women
People with heart conditions
Individuals with Fitzpatrick skin types IV to VI
Those with active herpes, shingles, or chronic skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, vitiligo)
Anyone with a history of keloid scars or hypertrophic scarring

A consultation allows our medical team to ensure your skin is ready and that the treatment is safe and appropriate for your health condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is plasma energy?

Plasma is often referred to as the fourth state of matter, created when gas becomes ionized through energy. In Plasma Fibroblast Therapy, this energy is released in small, controlled arcs just above the skin, without direct contact. These micro-flashes trigger a natural skin regeneration process, promoting tissue contraction and stimulating collagen production over time.

Is the Plasma treatment painful?

The level of discomfort varies depending on individual sensitivity, but most patients describe the treatment as mildly uncomfortable. A topical anesthetic or numbing cream is applied beforehand to minimize sensation, and our team ensures your comfort throughout the entire procedure.
