Plasma Skin Tightening
At Matador Core Performance, we are proud to offer the newest cosmetic procedure to combat wrinkles, loss of collagen, and sagging skin: Plasma Skin Tightening.
Plasma Skin Tightening is a non-surgical cosmetic enhancement designed to shrink the skin using a sterile, disposable probe. Fibroblasts are the major cells in connective tissue that produce collagen and other fibers in the skin. These fibroblasts are responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of connective tissues.
How does Plasma Skin Tightening work?
Plasma Skin Tightening harnesses the power of plasma. By using a plasma pen, it converts electrical energy into gaseous diatomic molecular nitrogen and transmits that energized gas in a non-contact way to the skin’s surface from above. This causes a micro-trauma to the skin’s epidermal layer (top layers) while simultaneously heating and disrupting the deeper dermal structure via thermal conduction. This treatment is also known as fibroblasting. Fibroblasts are the most common cells of connective tissue in the body that produce collagen.
When the plasma treatment is used to stimulate the fibroblasts, they begin creating white blood cells to repair the surface tissue. This process recreates collagen type I, the collagen we have in abundance when we're younger. As we age, this is replaced by collagen type III, a loose and unorganized collagen.
The tip of the plasma pen never touches the skin (and the needle-like attachment is a sterile, disposable, one-time use product).The pen is held above the skin and a tiny plasma arc connects the tip of the device to the surface of the skin. Using plasma waves, the old collagen is removed by sublimation (evaporation), and fibroblasts are stimulated to produce new collagen.
With treatments starting at $300, our highly trained and certified plasma pen technicians are ready to help you on your way to smoother, younger, healthier looking skin. The best part… all without invasive surgery!

Risks and Downtime
As with any procedure there are risks, and with almost every aesthetic procedure there is a little downtime. Risks include swelling, slight bruising, skin discoloration and scarring.
You will have small scabbing dots that will fall off in 5-7 days.
Your downtime may include:
Redness, swelling and scabbing in the treatment area
Average of 8 days downtime on the face and neck areas
Average of 10 to 14 days on the body, depending on the area being treated and the intensity of the treatment
Swelling usually begins the day following your treatment, and peaks around day 3
After day 3, swelling subsides and scabs form.
Scabs normally begin to fall off around day 6 and 7 (for face and neck)
How long will it take to see results?
You will typically see immediate tightening along with cumulative improvements over the next three months in the appearance of saggy skin. In some cases it may require more than one session depending on the desired results.
Is the Plasma Skin Tightening Treatment painful?
Plasma Skin Tightening is mildly to moderately uncomfortable. Everyone’s pain level is different and some areas of the body are more sensitive than others. Numbing cream is helpful in reducing the discomfort during treatment.
