A More Rested Look with Non-Surgical Eyelid Aesthetics
Sagging, laxity and excess skin that develop on the eyelids over time may give the person a more tired, sleepless or older appearance. In some individuals, laxity of the upper eyelid may also affect the field of vision as well as aesthetic appearance.
Non-surgical eyelid aesthetics is a dermatological treatment planned to help reduce mild to moderate skin laxity around the eyelid area in people who do not prefer surgery or who are not suitable candidates for surgery.
The Plexr technique is one of the non-surgical procedures that aims to create a controlled tightening effect in the skin tissue around the eyelids. At Dr. Seher Arı Dermatology Clinic in Göktürk, Istanbul, Plexr treatment is planned individually after evaluating the person’s skin structure, eyelid laxity and expectations.
What Is Plexr?
Plexr is a non-surgical treatment that works on the principle of plasma energy and aims to create a tightening effect by forming controlled micro-points on the skin surface. One of its most common areas of use is mild to moderate skin laxity around the upper eyelid.
Plexr treatment may be preferred especially for non-surgical eyelid aesthetics, eye area tightening, reducing the appearance of fine lines and certain skin irregularities. However, as with every procedure, whether the person is suitable for this treatment should be determined after an examination by a dermatology specialist.
During the procedure, no scalpel is used, no stitches are placed and no classical surgical incision is made. Therefore, it may be considered an alternative option for people who do not prefer surgical blepharoplasty. However, Plexr should not be regarded as a direct replacement for surgical procedures; it should be considered a non-surgical tightening approach in suitable cases.
How Is Plexr Applied?
Before Plexr treatment, the area to be treated is evaluated and the skin structure is analyzed. If necessary, a local anesthetic cream may be applied to the treatment area to increase comfort.
During the procedure, the device creates a controlled plasma arc without direct contact with the skin surface. This energy acts in small points on the treated area. This controlled effect aims to trigger a contraction and tightening response in the skin fibers.
Plexr treatment is generally a short procedure. Although the average application time is approximately 30 minutes, the duration may vary depending on the size of the treatment area, skin sensitivity and individual needs.
In Which Areas Is Plexr Used?
Plexr may be used for different skin concerns in suitable patients. The most commonly preferred areas of use include:
- Upper eyelid sagging
- Mild to moderate skin laxity around the eye area
- Appearance of fine lines around the eyes
- Limited skin laxity on the face and neck area
- Certain superficial skin irregularities
- Supportive treatments to help reduce the appearance of scars in suitable cases
The area and purpose of Plexr treatment should be determined by a dermatology specialist according to the person’s skin structure and expectations.
Who Is Suitable for Non-Surgical Eyelid Aesthetics?
Non-surgical eyelid aesthetics may be considered for people who have mild or moderate skin laxity around the eyelids, do not prefer surgery and aim for a more rested eye area appearance.
Plexr treatment may especially be considered in the following cases:
- If there is mild or moderate sagging of the upper eyelid
- If the eyelids give the person a tired expression
- If surgery is not preferred
- If skin laxity has started around the eye area
- If a tighter and more lifted eye area appearance is desired
- If a more comfortable recovery process compared to surgery is being considered
In cases of advanced excess skin, significant eyelid drooping or conditions that seriously affect the field of vision, surgical options may be more appropriate. Therefore, the treatment decision should always be made after evaluation by a specialist physician.
When Is the Effect of Plexr Treatment Seen?
After Plexr treatment, the tightening effect around the eyelid area may be noticed in the early period. However, the skin’s renewal and recovery process continues over time. Although the final appearance varies from person to person, it usually becomes more noticeable within a few weeks.
After the procedure, redness, mild swelling, sensitivity and small crusts may occur in the treated area. This is part of the expected healing process of the treatment. The crusts usually shed spontaneously within a few days. During this period, it is important to protect the area and follow the care instructions recommended by the doctor.
While one session may be sufficient for some people, additional sessions may be planned in some cases to reach the desired result. The number of sessions may vary according to eyelid laxity, skin structure, age, lifestyle and the person’s expectations.
What Is the Recovery Process Like After Plexr?
After Plexr treatment, temporary redness, edema, a sensation of warmth and crusting may be seen in the treated area. Since the eye area is a sensitive region, swelling may be more noticeable in the first few days.
The small crusts that form after the treatment should shed on their own as part of the skin’s natural healing process. Picking, rubbing or irritating the crusts is not recommended. Paying attention to the care instructions recommended by your doctor during this period helps improve recovery comfort.
Sun protection after the procedure is extremely important. Using sunscreen and avoiding direct sun exposure help reduce the risk of pigmentation after the treatment.
What Should Be Considered After Plexr?
After Plexr treatment, the doctor’s recommendations should be followed to support the skin’s healing process. In the first days, it is important to treat the procedure area gently and avoid applications that may irritate the skin.
The main points to consider are as follows:
- The treated area should not be rubbed in the first days.
- The crusts that form should not be picked; they should be allowed to shed on their own.
- Intensive moisturizers or products containing active ingredients should not be applied to the treated area without the doctor’s recommendation.
- Direct sun exposure should be avoided.
- Solarium, sauna, Turkish bath and intense heat sources should be avoided.
- Sunscreen use should not be neglected.
- The period recommended by the doctor should be waited before using makeup or concealer products.
Especially during the first 4 weeks, protecting the skin from the sun and avoiding procedures that may irritate the skin are important for post-treatment skin quality.
What Is the Difference Between Plexr and Surgical Eyelid Aesthetics?
Surgical eyelid aesthetics is a procedure in which excess skin and tissue are surgically removed. Plexr, on the other hand, is a non-surgical procedure that aims to provide tightening by creating a controlled plasma effect on the skin surface.
In Plexr treatment, no incision is made, no stitches are placed and the classical surgical recovery process is not experienced. In this respect, it may be a more comfortable option in suitable cases. However, surgical methods may be more effective in advanced eyelid sagging or significant excess skin.
Therefore, the most appropriate method should be decided by evaluating the person’s anatomical structure, skin quality, expectations and the degree of eyelid laxity.
