Which treatment is right for you?
Plasma technologies can lift, smooth, and refresh the skin without surgery. At North Skin we offer two advanced options that work in different ways. Plasma Fibroblast for precise tightening in targeted zones. Warm Argon Plasma for global resurfacing and glow. Here is how they compare and how we help you choose.
What is Plasma Fibroblast
Plasma Fibroblast uses a fine handpiece to create controlled micro-points on the surface of the skin. This triggers fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin. It is ideal for specific areas that need more lift.
Best for upper and lower eyelids, lip lines, neck bands, tummy laxity, scars, and stretch marks that need precision.
Downtime tiny carbon crusts that shed in about a week. Pinkness may linger for a short period as skin remodels.
Sessions often one to two sessions per area, spaced several weeks apart.
Results tightening and smoothing build over 8 to 12 weeks as collagen matures.
Numbing note: For Plasma Fibroblast appointments you must apply topical anaesthetic 40 minutes before your booking. We can top up in clinic if needed.
What is Warm Plasma
Warm Argon Plasma delivers a broader, even field of plasma energy for full-face or larger-area resurfacing. It helps refine pores, soften fine lines, and brighten tone. Think overall glow and texture improvement rather than pinpoint lifting.
Best for texture, tone, pore refinement, mild laxity on face, neck, chest, and body, and softening the look of pigmentation.
Downtime light redness and dryness for a few days. Some clients experience a little flaking.
Sessions usually a short series to build results, then seasonal maintenance.
Results visible radiance within days, firmness and clarity improve across the series.
Numbing note: For Warm Plasma you must apply topical anaesthetic 40 minutes before your appointment. We can top up in clinic if required.
Side-by-side comparison
| Goal | Choose Plasma Fibroblast when | Choose Warm Plasma when |
|---|---|---|
| Lift and tighten | You want a noticeable lift around eyelids or lip lines, or to target neck bands or tummy laxity | You want global firmness with a smoother overall look |
| Texture and pores | You have etched lines or scars that need precision | You want refined pores and an even surface across the face, chest, or body |
| Downtime tolerance | You are comfortable with visible dots for about a week | You prefer mild redness and dryness for a few days |
| Treatment area size | Small, specific zones | Full face, neck, chest, or larger body zones |
| Session plan | 1 to 2 sessions per area | A short series, then maintenance |
Can we combine them
Yes. Many clients see the best results with a staged plan. Warm Plasma first to refine and brighten, then targeted Fibroblast to lift the eyes or smooth deep lines. We will map a simple plan that respects your social calendar and downtime.
