here's how a non-surgical facelift works
typically a surgical facelift would
include cutting pulling stitches and six
weeks or more of downtime with this
procedure you're able to go about your
day immediately after as long as you
stay out of the Sun we talked to
board-certified dermatologist Jason
Emmer to find out more about this
procedure the plasma fibroblast device
is one of the newest non-invasive
aesthetic treatments to use energy on
the skin very focally to help improve
wrinkles pores and complexion plasma
fibroblast is a radiofrequency machine
that's compared to a tiny lightning bolt
on the skin it uses electrical energy on
the surface of the skin or right above
the surface that interacts with the air
that electrical energy then goes into
the skin and forms little teeny dots
those dots then cause new collagen
development tighten the skin and overall
improve the complexion fine wrinkles
pores and sun damage with any energy
devices used on the skin there's always
some sort of risk and new treatments
like the plasma fibroblast pen need to
be studied and researched and used by
those that are experienced to make sure
the risks are minimized the risks can be
prolonged redness scarring wounds that
can develop but overall if they're used
by a trained technician energy
treatments build collagen they tighten
the skin and this is a really great
treatment because the downtime is
minimal and you can focus very small
areas like around the mouth and eyes and
it can be very safe in the right persons
hands and now it's time to see it in
action
so when a client arrives I immediately
go into the before photos and then we're
going to go right to the consultation
form
once we consult and decide what we're
going to attack then I'm going to kind
of do some markings and measurements on
the face and then it goes into applying
the numbing cream I apply the saran wrap
in a certain way just piece by piece and
then I do apply the towel over knee over
the skin which creates a little bit of a
heat and I believe allows them to kind
of penetrate a little bit more and then
after that we take the numbing cream off
with some alcohol and we start the
puzzle fiberglass treatment the
procedure can take anywhere from one to
four hours to complete and can cost
anywhere from $50 to $2,500 juliette the
medical esthetician today says the
procedure is painless only causing
slight discomfort like a rubber band to
the skin the procedure performed today
would cost about $1,100 overall $600 for
the neck area and $500 for the upper lid

I am super excited to see the results
following the procedure you're sent home
with the healing spray healing cream and
a zinc oxide sunscreen the scabs will
stay on for an average of 5 to 7 days
and naturally fall off until the healing
process is complete around 4 to 8 weeks
with surgical facelifts you got a lot
you get a lot of skin tightening you get
contouring of the face and you get an
improvement of wrinkles
so although the pen itself may not be a
replacement for surgery it can give you
some of the results of surgery like
tightening of the skin improvement in
wrinkles and overall better complexion
