The Plasma Pen - Plexer works by ionizing the air particles, between the device’s headpiece and the epidermis, to form the plasma energy (fourth state of matter), which in turn causes the skin to sublimate.
Therefore, the results are instant, with immediate contraction of the tissue, which activates the processes of skin injury and the fibroblasts to produce fresh collagen and elastin, contributing in that way to tightening and lifting of the skin, in the places where the treatment was done.
The technology of "Plasma Pen - Plexer" promises to tighten the skin, without incisions and without having to be absent from our activities. The plasma energy (fourth state of matter) is transferred to the outer layer of the skin and manages to shrink and vaporize locally, in the areas touched by the device’s headpiece.
This tissue contraction and tightening gives results comparable to those seen with invasive blepharoplasty surgery, without making an incision to remove excess skin.
The advantages of modern non surgical blepharoplasty with Plexer are many. So many that it's pretty hard to overlook it and not want to try it. Firstly, no surgical incisions are made on the eyelids and therefore no stitches. In addition, the treatment hardly hurts at all, as it is preceded by the use of a local anesthetic.
As for the "aftercare", no special attention of any kind is required and the recovery period is short, unlike that of blepharoplasty surgery. After the Plexer treatment, the patient applies special regenerative and moisturizing creams and returns to normal daily activities, after a reasonable period of 2-3 days.
In addition and equally important is that the treatment can be applied, regardless of age to everyone, even to people with health problems, who take anticoagulants and in whom surgery is contraindicated.
Also a main difference between Plexer and surgical blepharoplasty, which makes the first method superior to the second, is that with Plexer we can correct small imperfections gradually between the sessions, thus achieving perfection to the final result. On the contrary, surgical blepharoplasty is a one session treatment and once is done, is irreversible.
Finally, another advantage of the treatment and attractive for many is its price, since unlike an eyelid surgery, non-surgical blepharoplasty with Plexer is a much more economical treatment.
Initially, your face and eyelids are examined by the Doctors and you discuss with them your concerns and expectations from the treatment and at the same time the Doctor informs you about the type of treatment you will need and the number of sessions.
At this step, you will also be informed about the benefits of other eyelid lifting and tightening combination treatments that you can also have in our Clinics.
The intensity of the Plexer is adjusted by the Doctor, depending on your skin type. Once all the necessary settings are done, the skin scanning begins. It is possible to feel a slight burning sensation at the time of treatment, but at an absolutely tolerable level. Depending on the extent of the area to be treated, the treatment will last from 20 to 30 minutes.
When the treatment is completed, special moisturizing and regenerative creams are applied, in order to eliminate the irritation that you will have. The session ends with the instructions that will be given in detail by the Doctors of our Clinics, so that you get the maximum possible results.
For preparing your skin, it would be good to come 30 minutes before your appointment, in order to apply local anaesthetic cream to the treated area.
In addition, your skin should be clean and if possible you should come to your appointment with no makeup.
Frequent use of moisturizing cream on the treated area is very important and necessary for faster healing of the skin. For this reason you should moisturize the Plexer area daily (at least four times a day) for a week.
Also, the use of regenerative cream is essential, for the best possible regeneration of the skin.
Protection from the sun is equally important and necessary. In particular on the eyelids, we recommend applying sun protection, on top of your moisturizer for 1 month
We also advise you to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun (sunbathing / solarium), for at least 2 months after your treatment.
It is recommended to avoid make-up and the application of cosmetic products to the area for at least 24 - 48 hours after the treatment.
Until your skin is fully healed and the redness is completely gone, you should avoid cosmetic products containing Retinol and Acids and any kind of Peeling or Scrub.
It is also very important to use clean sheets, pillowcases and towels after the treatment, as the already used ones might cause skin contamination due to the existing germs.
You should wash your face with a mild cleansing soap, from the very first day after the treatment, being careful not to rub your skin too much. Avoid any sponges and facial cleansing machines and dry your skin with gentle movements with a clean towel by dabbing.
Avoid drinking alcohol, doing vigorous exercise and having saunas for two to three days after your treatment, as they increase blood flow to the face and prolong redness.
Truth: Of course not, as the result you will have lasts for an average of 3-5 years and then you need maintenance treatments, to maintain the result.
One of the most frequent questions is whether this treatment is painful. No, it does not hurt at all, as a local anaesthetic is applied a short time before the treatment is applied.
After the Plexer treatment there will be some brown marks, like little dots, at the application sites, but after about 5 days they will fall off, revealing new pink skin underneath. It is also reasonable to notice some swelling in the area, but this will last 3 to 5 days. However you can use make-up from the 3rd day after the treatment to hide the dots, in order to have your daily activities as usual.
The only thing that is expected with Lipo 3Max Plus and always is observed after the treatment is the redness from the hyperemia created during the treatment and it does not last more than an hour. This redness is easily treated with a moisturizing cream.
As long as it is done in a certified medical practice and by qualified Doctors who are Dermatologists or Plastic Surgeons, the Plexer treatment is absolutely safe.
If you are considering trying this technique, you must be wondering if you are the right candidate or you should be looking for something else. The answer comes from your skin and its needs. More specifically, ideal candidates to try Plexer therapy are people:
The truth is that not all patients need the same number of sessions, however, an average of 2-3 sessions is needed. From one session to the next, a time interval of about a month is needed.
The Plexer treatment is one of those treatments that doesn't need to spend much of your time. Each session lasts approximately 20-30 minutes. The final result is obtained after 2-3 sessions, depending on the degree of skin laxity that you have and the time interval between each session is one month. In some cases with medium level skin laxity, only one session is enough to achieve the final result.
"Plasma Pen - Plexer" if the right indications are present, has no significant side effects. As in all treatments, an important principle of success is the right choice of Doctor, as this is a purely medical treatment. Just as you would choose a specialized Gynecologist to undergo a gynecological operation, choosing a certified Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon is equally important for the application of the Profhilo treatment.
However, there are not a few cases where we have come across cases of disfigurement with burns and scars, at the hands of inappropriate people who were either unqualified doctors or non-doctors at all like beauticians in beauty salons. There are plenty of complaints about beauty salons that cheated consumers with false promises for non-surgical blepaharoplasty of 100 - 120 euros! Because as you know, you get what you pay for and you should not choose based on where it is cheaper, but where it is the safest and highest quality for your treatment. So that you don't find yourself afterwards paying certified Doctors again to fix their complications, if of course these can be fixed.
