Blepharoplasty – Non-Surgical Eyelid Lifting
Plexr soft surgery (plasma) is a revolutionary, safe and non-surgical way of reducing loose or excess skin, and is often used for effectively treating heavy, or hooded eyelids. Plexr is an innovative treatment that uses plasma energy to ‘evaporate’ unwanted skin cells leaving behind tighter, smoother skin.
Plexr plasma treatment uses a pen-like device to target your chosen area. A tiny arc is formed between the pen tip and your skin, a process occurs where plasma energy is created. This energy creates a tiny spark, which burns away unwanted areas of skin, leaving behind a carbon crust. This then flakes away, leaving you with tightened, smoothed skin.
Plexr plasma pen treatment can be used as a non-surgical alternative to eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) by tightening hooded or sagging eyelids, giving a more open-eyed appearance. The delicate skin around the eyes is often the first to show the signs of ageing. For many, this can meet the skin ‘pouches’ just above the eye socket, leaving you with a hooded, drooping look.
Unlike surgical methods of lifting the eye area, Plexr doesn’t involve cutting the skin away, sutures or long recovery times. There is no scarring of the area and your results are permanent.
Plexr plasma pen is a more natural treatment, using your body’s healing process to promote and enhance the smoothing effect.
All Plexr blepharoplasty treatments at Hampton Clinic, Knowle, Solihull are carried out by Dr Hill and treatment prices start from at £550.

It is common to get some swelling around the treated area for a couple of days. Once the scabs have dropped off, the skin underneath will be pink and new, and may take several weeks to return to normal. |

Number of TreatmentsTwo to three treatments are required to get results equivalent to surgical blepharoplasty. |
|
Duration of ResultsThere is permanent reduction of excess skin, afterwards we are just left with the natural aging process. |

AftercareIt is important to keep the scabs dry and to apply SPF regularly until the skin returns to a normal colour. |
Lorraine made me feel very comfortable with having my treatment as I was quite nervous. She went through everything very thoroughly before, during and after.
Great clinic in a lovely environment. Lorraine my consultant was very informative and made me feel at ease. I will be returning for treatment next week. Highly recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it painful?
It is not a pleasant treatment, the high energy sparks feel hot. The treatment is tolerable with strong anaesthetic cream. The downtime afterwards is also challenging, as you can be very swollen and scabby. You do need to allow a good week of hiding away, or wearing large dark sunglasses.
Am I suitable?
In some cases, you may have too much excess skin, and the doctor may recommend that you consider surgery. We would not want to treat you if you were pregnant.
How often can I have a treatment?
It is important to fully heal between each treatment session, ideally it is best to allow 2 months. The skin should no longer be red or pink.
Are there any risks?
The biggest concern is pigmentation. When the scabs have dropped off, the skin underneath is pink baby new skin. This is more delicate and will be more sensitive to light. It is essential to wear SPF 30+ for 3 months after the procedure, whatever time of year. You must not pick the scabs which can also risk pigmentation.
