Price guide
Confirmed after consultation
Plexr is a non-surgical plasma treatment used for the improvement of selected areas of loose or excess skin most commonly around the upper eyelid and under eye area. Sometimes referred to as a non-surgical eyelid lift or non-surgical blepharoplasty.
At Bodyvie we use Plexr to target the superficial skin cells with accurately delivered plasma energy. The idea is to tighten certain areas, without opting for a surgical cut. Plexr is a treatment performed by doctors for excess eyelid skin Bodyvie describes as using controlled heat to vaporise superficial tissue.
A focused treatment for eyelid skin
The skin surrounding the eyes is thin and fragile. Over time it can become looser, crepey or heavier too, especially on the upper lids. This can make the eyes appear tired, or less open.
Plexr can be considered if the concern is mild to moderate and does not need surgical correction. This is not the same as blepharoplasty but may be an option for patients seeking a non-surgical approach after appropriate assessment.
How plasma creates a tightening effect
The Plexr works by creating a small plasma arc near the skin surface. This energy is directed to the superficial skin cells and produces controlled micro injuries in the treated area.
The treatment can promote contraction and repair of the treated tissue as the skin heals. Bodyvie says the little marks left by Plexr look like tiny scabs as the skin heals and should not be picked or disturbed.
Concerns that may be assessed
Plexr may be considered for specific eye-area concerns, including:
- Mild upper eyelid heaviness
- Loose or crepey skin around the eyes
- Selected under-eye skin laxity
- Fine lines around the treated area
- Patients wanting a non-surgical option after assessment
Suitability depends on the amount of loose skin, skin type, medical history and the result you want to achieve. It will be discussed at the consultation whether surgery or another treatment is more appropriate.
Eye-area assessment before treatment
Your practitioner will carefully examine the eyelids and the skin around them. We will evaluate skin laxity, eyelid position, risk of healing and suitability of Plexr for your problem.
They’ll also consider your medical history, any past treatments, any medications you’re taking and your tendency to pigment or scar. This is very important as the eye area is delicate and visible healing is expected after treatment.
What happens during the appointment
The area to be treated is cleaned and a topical anaesthetic is applied to increase comfort Controlled plasma points are then applied over the agreed area using the Plexr device.
Treatment is done with precision and only the areas that need tightening are treated. Usually you can leave the clinic shortly afterwards but the treated area will be visible marked.
The healing marks and aftercare
You can expect redness, swelling and small crusts after Plexr treatment. These crusts are a normal part of the healing process and should be allowed to fall off on their own.
Do not pick, rub or irritate the treated area as this may increase the risk of scarring or changes in pigmentation. Bodyvie suggests that you should let the marks heal properly and avoid any irritation in this time.
When improvement becomes visible
Results evolve as the skin heals and settles into place. The swelling usually goes down first and then the treated area will gradually tighten and smooth out.
The outcome depends on your skin quality, laxity, healing response and whether multiple sessions are needed. Some patients may need a course or staged approach.
Safety points for plasma treatment
Potential risks include swelling, redness, crusting, bruising, infection, pigmentation changes, scarring, uneven texture or an unsatisfactory result.
Plexr isn’t for everyone. Patients with specific skin types, active skin conditions, poor healing history or significant eyelid laxity may require a different approach.
