Plasma Skin Tightening
Plasma fibroblast treatment is a nonsurgical skin-tightening procedure that uses a high energy to make a small wound in the skin. Nonsurgical skin tightening is a relatively common procedure. This less invasive treatment has a shorter recovery period than surgical options. This treatment is offered as an alternative to laser, injection, or surgical therapies. The treatment aims to improve the skin’s appearance by using plasma, which is a hot, gas-like substance, to stimulate the fibroblast cells in the deeper layer of the skin to repair the outer skin layers. A fibroblast is a type of skin cell that secretes collagen proteins in the dermis, the layer of the skin just below the outermost skin layer. These cells play an important role in wound healing and maintaining skin firmness and tightness. A trained professional uses a pen-like device that discharges plasma and releases a targeted, hot electric current to the skin to create a small hole, or micro-injury, in the skin. In response to the micro-injury, fibroblasts activate and repair and regenerate the skin. The elasticity of the skin and skin tightening will continue to improve as the skin heals and repairs. More than just the tightening effect, excess skin is removed so the results will last as long as with a surgical procedure. Treating everything from fine lines and scarring, to skin tags and smoker’s lines, crow’s feet and droopy eyelids.
RF Microneedling
Microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) is a minimally invasive treatment that has been used for decades to rejuvenate the skin. A device with fine needles or pins creates tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, which triggers the body to create new collagen and elastin. Results can include improved texture and firmness, as well as skin resurfacing. RF micro-needling adds the element of radiofrequency energy to the traditional micro-needling procedure. The RF energy is delivered via small needles into the dermis. In addition to the benefits seen with the micro-injury provided by the traditional microneedles, RF micro-needling also delivers RF energy deep into the dermis further enhancing skin tightening and scar reduction. Microneedling and Radio Frequency is used to reduce and improve wrinkles, stretch marks, acne scars and generally improve the tone and texture on the skin. Results can include smoother, tighter, more radiant skin. Radio frequency has long been used and is a proven technology. Radio frequency helps stimulate the body’s own natural healing processes and stimulates collagen fibres. Microneedling and Radio Frequency can give you, smoother, healthier, younger looking skin.
These treatments are also known under the generic term 'Skin Boosters' and are popular aesthetic treatments that are highly sought after because they are minimally invasive. They are used as one of the skin rejuvenation therapies to restore healthy hydrating skin of not only the face but also the neck, hands, and other regions of the body.
Skin booster treatments are a form of cosmetic dermatology aimed at improving skin hydration, texture, and overall radiance. These treatments are designed to deliver deep skin hydration and repair. Unlike traditional fillers that aim to add volume or alter facial contours they focus on improving the skin’s quality by enhancing its natural properties. Ideal for individuals noticing early signs of ageing, dullness, or dehydration in their skin, these treatments offer a minimally invasive solution to achieve a more youthful and vibrant appearance. Key treatable areas include the face, neck and décolletage. Common Skin Booster ingredients include: Hyaluronic Acid, Polynucleotides, Amino Acids, Vitamins, Peptides, Calcium Hydroxyapatite.
Main Skin Booster Categories and their actions:
Hyaluronic Acid Skin Boosters
HA skin booster treatment involves injecting hyaluronic acid (HA) which is a soft, gel-like substance under the skin, increase the levels of hydration in the skin and stimulate the production of collagen, improving fine lines texture that leaves a radiance to the skins surface. They are particularly good at improving moisture content and can be used to treat many different skin areas and skin. Most common areas are the face followed by the neck, chest and the hands.
Polynucleotide Skin Boosters
PN treatments work at a deeper cellular level. They stimulate the skin’s natural regeneration and repair processes by promoting the synthesis of DNA, RNA, collagen, and elastin. This not only aids in repairing damaged skin cells but also improves the skin’s overall structure and function over time. PN treatments offer broader and more profound benefits, including enhanced skin repair, increased collagen and elastin production, and improved skin firmness and elasticity. These benefits significantly reduce signs of ageing and an overall healthier skin appearance.
Hybrid Skin Boosters
Hybrid skin treatments usually are a mixture of beneficial ingredients that provide a broader approach to skin re-modelling. Hybrid treatments are usually brand chosen by your practitioner after a skin analysis to give a more targeted treatment. They usually give an instant result through the use of hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite, as well additional polynucleotides and other ingredients that work at a cellular level to promote skin repair and renewal.

Skin lesion removal uses Hyfrecation (also known as a plasma pen), which is a cutting-edge treatment that safely and effectively burns off unwanted skin lesions. It’s a non-invasive and quick procedure that targets the specific area of concern, leaving surrounding healthy tissue unaffected.
The ‘plasma pen’ produces a tiny electric spark to create enough heat to treat a small 1mm area of skin. Hyfrecation causes most patients only slight discomfort, however if you are concerned, our team can also provide treatment to numb the area prior to treatment.
Hyfrecation works on a very superficial level and forms a ‘crust’ over a treated lesion to protect healthy, underlying skin as it heals. Following the treatment, the body’s natural healing processes kick in, gradually eliminating the damaged tissue. This allows for new, healthy skin to grow in its place.
