Plasma Kerrisdale

Plasma fibroblast therapy is a non-surgical skin tightening treatment that delivers a precise arc of plasma energy to the surface of the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body's natural healing response. These targeted points immediately tighten the surrounding tissue and activate fibroblast cells, which are responsible for collagen production and help maintain the skin's structure and elasticity. The treatment is especially effective on the eye contour, where it lifts and tightens the upper and lower eyelids, and can also be applied to the forehead, around the lips, cheeks, neck, abdomen, thighs, arms and knees.

Book an Appointment

Because every patient's skin condition, goals and medical history are different, plasma fibroblast therapy at our Dermapure Kerrisdale clinic always begins with a personalized consultation with our team. Together, you will evaluate your skin, discuss the areas you would like to address, plan for the recovery period of 7 to 10 days and review the possible side effects, such as redness, swelling and the appearance of carbon crusts on the treated area.

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)

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