Non-surgical blepharoplasty: reality or hype?

In the literal sense, blepharoplasty refers to eyelid surgery, which is used to tighten the skin around the eyes and remove hernial sacs. This is an effective, but quite traumatic method of rejuvenation with a long rehabilitation period. In addition, the experience, skills, qualifications and professionalism of the plastic surgeon always play a huge role in the outcome of a successful operation. Finding a great surgeon is sometimes not an easy task, and the price of an operation with such a doctor is considerable.

The use of modern laser technologies makes it possible to obtain a comparable effect, but without surgical intervention. We are talking about SmoothEye™ technology - a 4D procedure for rejuvenating the eye area - laser blepharoplasty of the eyelids and area around the eyes.

And most importantly: if surgical plastic surgery can change the anatomy of the eye area and even their cut, then with laser blepharoplasty the structure and quality of the skin of the upper and lower eyelids changes—rejuvenates—and at a more affordable price. As a result of several laser procedures, you can get rid of dark circles, bags, folds and wrinkles under the eyes, as well as significantly tighten the skin of sagging upper eyelids.

Non-surgical plasma blepharoplasty. Eyelid skin tightening without incisions using the Plexr device.

Eyelid surgery can be performed in different ways.
The main indication for this operation is the appearance of sagging eyelid skin, the formation of skin bags and drooping of the outer corner of the eye. Until 2008, blepharoplasty was performed only with a scalpel. Traditional surgery is performed under anesthesia and always leaves a mark in the form of a postoperative scar.

The Plexr device allows you to perform eyelid surgery - blepharoplasty using plasma without anesthesia and incisions, without health risks and scars on the skin.

How to choose the right cosmetologist?

First of all, when choosing a cosmetologist, you need to pay attention to his education. A professional cosmetologist will always be able to provide the patient with a diploma confirming receipt of specialized medical education or relevant professional retraining. You should carefully read all documents and verify their authenticity in person.

In addition, every self-respecting specialist undergoes regular advanced training courses for cosmetologists, which allow them to continue working in this field. After all, it is not enough to form basic knowledge and acquire basic skills in the field of cosmetology; it is necessary to periodically update and expand them in every possible way, in accordance with the modern technological equipment of medical institutions and the norms of labor legislation of the Russian Federation.

What is Plexr?

Plexr is a device that allows you to remove excess skin on various parts of the body using plasma.

The impact on the skin occurs through thin disposable tips, which ensures high precision of the intervention. The heat generated as a result of the action of plasma leads to sublimation of skin cells.

During the treatment process, plasma is applied to the skin of a certain area, which causes reduction and tightening of loose skin.

For optimal results, 3-4 sessions are usually required, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

How is treatment performed using the Plexr device?

The skin at the surgical site is thoroughly cleaned, then an anesthetic cream is applied.

The impact is targeted at short intervals, which causes tightening and contraction of the skin, eliminating wrinkles and sagging tissue.

The plasma treatment procedure lasts 10-15 minutes.

The recovery period after the intervention lasts 5-7 days. It is very important to properly and carefully care for your skin, and, if possible, not to rip off the scabs. They should fall off on their own.

The skin at the intervention site first becomes bright pink and gradually takes on a normal appearance.

To prevent hyperpigmentation, be sure to apply sunscreen before going outside.

For what purposes is plasma used in medicine?

Indications for plasma skin grafting:

• Restoration of eyelid skin (non-surgical blepharoplasty), including bags under the eyes, excess eyelid skin.
• Tattoo removal.
• Removal of skin defects and skin formations, including warts, fibromas, pigmentation, keratomas.
• Treatment of scars, post-acne, stretch marks.
• Removing wrinkles around the mouth
• Face and neck lift.
• Treatment of active acne.

Plasma allows you to remove excess skin in real time, the result of the procedure lasts for several years. Complications during plasma procedures practically do not occur.

Contraindications

The use of Plasma Pen, like most hardware and injection procedures, is prohibited in case of acute inflammatory process, infection, serious diseases - diabetes, epilepsy, herpes, autoimmune, oncological and mental diseases, blood clotting diseases. This procedure is not recommended during pregnancy, during breastfeeding, or when wearing a pacemaker. An allergic reaction to local anesthesia, taking blood thinning drugs and a tendency to form keloid scars can also become an obstacle.

And, of course, it cannot be used for non-surgical blepharoplasty if you have already had your eyelids tightened surgically before. If you try Plasma Pen before surgery, there is a high chance that the “before” will be replaced by “instead”.

Eyelid surgery without plasma surgery (non-surgical plasma blepharoplasty)

The benefits of plasma energy have begun to be used to perform eyelid surgery without incisions. The results of plasma blepharoplasty are comparable to those after conventional scalpel surgery.

However, after using plasma:

• no marks or scars are left,
• the skin of the eyelids is tightened,
• bags under the eyes are eliminated,
• the corner of the eyelid rises and
• The recovery period is short and painless.

Blepharoplasty without incisions: myth or reality?

When it comes to removing eye hernias, many people shudder and imagine a scalpel and put off a visit to the doctor with all their might.

In fact, surgical blepharoplasty is indicated only in those rare cases when the problem is advanced.

The vast majority of patients with initial signs of a hernia (dark circles under the eyes, small bags) are suitable for injection blepharoplasty.

Methods that don't work

Folk and home methods, unfortunately, cannot in any way significantly affect the manifestations of ptosis.

• Massage and gymnastics. Positive effects include only stimulation of blood circulation in the periorbital area. One of the risks is injury to thin skin, which leads to an increase in wrinkles and the appearance of spider veins under the eyes.
• Various serums and creams. They may slightly moisturize the skin, but they can cause more harm: cause allergies, blurred vision if it comes into contact with the eyes, and increase swelling.
• Face fitness. It is an excellent exercise for vision, but in no way affects the tissue surrounding the eyes.
• Taping. A method designed to lift overhanging areas of skin using special adhesive strips. It has minimal effect on gravitational ptosis, but often provokes redness, itching and burning in the area of ​​use.

Plastic surgeons at the GALAXY Beauty Institute strongly recommend not to experiment with your health and seek help from licensed specialists. We work only with effective, proven methods, use certified drugs and carefully follow safety precautions when carrying out any manipulations. Our doctors will select for you the optimal method for correcting a drooping upper eyelid, conduct a comprehensive diagnosis and help restore your youthful appearance in the shortest possible time.

Causes of drooping eyelids

Sagging areas of the skin under the influence of congenital, external or age-related factors are called ptosis. The main causes of this condition are:

• natural aging, which reduces the production of elastin and collagen, which provide elasticity and tone to tissues;
• some diseases of the cardiovascular system;
• diabetes;
• genetic predisposition (for example, being Asian or certain congenital diseases);
• poor diet with a lot of salt, which retains fluid in the body;
• chronic fatigue due to insufficient night rest;
• hard physical labor;
• constant nervous tension;
• improper care of the eye area (use of aggressive products, incorrectly selected decorative cosmetics, insufficient cleansing of the skin after makeup before bedtime);
• frequent allergic reactions accompanied by swelling of the skin on the face;
• myopia, due to which a person involuntarily squints in order to better see distant objects.

In some cases, the administration of botulinum toxin may cause ptosis: when the drug spreads (diffusion) into neighboring muscle groups, the eyelid may sag. To avoid such situations, cosmetologists at the GALAXY Beauty Institute recommend contacting only trusted specialists in professional medical institutions.

Blepharoplasty with Plasma Pencil - an innovative procedure

Plasma blepharoplasty with the Plasma pen device is a non-surgical technology for microcauterization of the skin with plasma discharges. The plasma current created by the needle of the nozzle precisely burns the skin without heating or damaging nearby tissues. A controlled microburn improves the condition of the dermis, tightens and tightens it, and the healing process stimulated by the procedure increases the production of collagen and elastin in the dermis. Non-surgical blepharoplasty with the Plasma Pencil device allows you to achieve visible rejuvenation without surgery: tighten eyelids, eliminate wrinkles, reduce skin pigmentation, remove scars and benign tumors. Thanks to its affordable price, even novice cosmetologists who want to provide cosmetic services at a high European level can afford to purchase a Plasma Pencil plasma current device.
