How non-surgical Blepharoplasty works:

The plasma eye lift works by using a voltaic current to ionise the natural gases in the air, turning them into plasma. Plasma is the name given to the spark created naturally by the gasses. The plasma will create a superficial burn dot on the area. Repeated ‘dots’ are created using plasma. The skin tissue instantly vaporises which leaves a carbon crust on the area.

Once the carbon crust naturally falls off, much tighter and firmer skin is revealed, restoring the skin’s natural elasticity.

Results are seen as the skin begins to heal and tighten After that, there is a further improvement with gradual regeneration of the skin. More predictable results are seen with 3 sessions, 4 – 8 weeks apart.

The procedure:

1. A numbing cream is applied to the area for approximately 30 – 45minutes.
2. The treatment area is cleaned and sterilised with antiseptic.
3. The small needle is positioned close to the skin surface without touching, creating a superficial micro burn.
4. A series of micro burns will be created in the area with an average session lasting 30 minutes.
5. Patients will experience redness and swelling which subsides in 1 -3 days but can vary from person to person.

After Care:

Home Care products are vital to the success of the treatment as well as limiting the risk of PIH (Post inflammatory inflammation) Your therapist will advise you. Immediately after treatment, patients will experience some slight discomfort and irritation for some hours. Swelling is most common and will subside in 1-3 days*. It’s important to keep the area clean and dry using warm water. A cold compress can be used to reduce swelling.

Patients are advised to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen for up to 6 weeks following treatment and to avoid direct sunlight and sunbeds during healing. The area must not be covered with any make-up or mascara until the area has healed completely. After 3-5 days, the scabs/crusts will flake off. Naturally, it’s important not to assist the flaking by picking or rubbing the area which could lead to infection and scarring.

In rare cases, blistering can appear which is all part of the healing; it’s important to keep the area clean and dry. After the skin has healed, patients will notice new skin tissue appearing pink. It will gradually return to original skin colour in some weeks.
