What is PlAsma FibroblAst?

a non-invasive, revolutionary, skin-tightening treatment
aka the best alternative to botox

How does Plasma Lift work? Volta explains...

The treatment often called Plasma Lift, Plasma Fibroblast or Plasma Pen uses a pen-like device with a metal tip to discharge a targeted electric current or plasma arc in small dots on the skin.

The device tip doesn’t directly touch the skin but a plasma arc held 1mm above the skin creates small holes or micro-injuries in the skin’s outer layer targeting the fibroblast cells. Fibroblasts are collagen and protein-producing cells that play an important role in helping wounds heal as well as maintaining skin firmness and tightness.

“I have been looking for this kind of service for years. So when I found Volta through one of my clients, I booked immediately!

I am thrilled that I got my entire face and neck done because it took at least five years of sun damage and crepey skin off my face. I recommend Volta all day, every day!!” 

—Jenny K.

Done properly, this treatment can improve skin tone, skin texture and offer mild-to-moderate skin tightening effects. Some immediate tightening may be seen post-treatment, but full skin collagen proliferation and rejuvenation results take 10 weeks on the face and longer on the neck and body. Collagen can even continue to develop for up to a year after your treatment. Plasma Lift is one of the only interventions that is safe for tightening the delicate eye area and is an effective holistic alternative to traditional laser methods and standard cosmetic surgery on the face and body. 
 

  • The results you get are permanent, however, your skin will still continue to age over time. Additional treatments may be desired to see the full rejuvenation of certain areas, and the number of treatments will depend on the depth of wrinkles, texture, and age of the skin, as well as aftercare and lifestyle factors. Age, Smoking and excess carbohydrate consumption (skin glycation) can lengthen healing time. Multiple treatments to the same area should be scheduled a minimum of 8 weeks apart.

  • This procedure is very safe, however, making sure you are a good candidate, practicing excellent aftercare and religious use of SPF is important. After the treatment there will be some inflammation, redness and swelling for 1-3 days, swelling and redness may range from mild to extreme, especially in the eye area. After 2-3 days small carbon crusts or scabs will form. After 5-8 days the scabs will begin to fall off. There may be peeling and dryness. For older clients, smokers and those with healing disorders the dots may take longer to shed. After shedding, you may experience mild hypopigmentation (light spots) or mild hyperpigmentation (dark spots), which usually clear up in 2-8 weeks.

    Occasionally, pink atrophic spots (where the dots were applied) can last up to 6-12 months after treatment, although this is incredibly rare. Some areas such as the body and neck take much longer to fully heal than the face. Vitamin C can be used topically as well as melanin inhibitors like hydroquinone before and after the treatment, and they will eventually resolve. SPF and sun protection is of the utmost importance in the months after Plasma Lift.

    There is always the small possibility of infection immediately after treatment, so cleanliness is extremely important.

    Please be aware of the signs of serious infection like excessive pain, abnormal swelling, red streaks going from the procedure site towards the heart, elevated body temperature, or purulent drainage from the procedure site.

    Let me know if anything seems off, I will also be checking in and asking for photos as you heal.

The face behind the plasma pen

Hi, I'm Alicia.
Alicia Earle is the face behind the Plasma Pen. She is one of the few people that offers this non-invasive botox-alternative in the bay area.

Welcome to Volta! I am so excited to be offering this revolutionary skin tightening service to my community of Santa Cruz, and the clients that come from all around California.  I’ve received 2 certifications in Plasma Fibroblast, in addition to other aesthetics certifications. However, I believe in using our bodies’ healing capabilities to enhance our own natural beauty and I love the results from Plasma so much that I have chosen to specialize in just this treatment. 

When I am not burning your beautiful faces, you might find me cooking and mixing up a cocktail, doing a crossfit class or taking a beach walk, traveling with my husband and friends or treasure hunting at estate sales. I can’t wait to meet you and see what else we may have in common!
