What is a Surgical Blepharoplasty?

A Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure performed on the upper or lower eyelid, or both to tighten and lift by removing a section of skin. Appearance Clinic Australia do not perform a surgical Blepharoplasty, we offer a technologically advanced non surgical option.

While Blepharoplasty surgery has been performed by surgeons for many years, there are risks and potential complications associated with surgery that includes anaesthesia. The main downside of a surgical Blepharoplasty is the high cost and substantial recovery and downtime. While not a surgical blepharoplasty, Dr Diana offers Asian double eyelid surgery to correct mono eyelids.

PLEXR Non Surgical Device

Dr Diana at Appearance Clinic Australia finds that using the Plexr non surgical eyelid and under eye tightening device, can give the desired results to the patient without the need for anaesthesia or the high cost and recovery time of surgery. A non-surgical Blepharoplasty can be performed alone or in conjunction with other facial procedures at Appearance Clinic Australia such as dermal fillers or laser genesis.

Plexr (Plasma EXeResis), a plasma generator, is a doctor only technology. While plasma treatments are a relatively new innovation in the Australian beauty industry, Plexr was produced after several years of research and clinical studies, in Italy and worldwide.

The extremely accurate instrument works by ionising the gas particles in the air between the tip of our device and the skin, to form plasma. This means that the results are instant, but also no heat is transferred to the surrounding area. The resultant tissue retraction and tightening (as opposed to removal) gives results that are comparable to the ones seen with invasive surgery.

Plasma Energy and Its Benefits for Upper and Lower Eyelids

Plasma energy plays a key role in the Plexr procedure. It is effective because it ionizes the gas particles in the air, creating a plasma arc that targets the skin. This process tightens and retracts the skin without causing damage to the surrounding areas. The use of plasma energy ensures precise treatment, making it ideal for sensitive areas like the eyelids. The benefits include minimal downtime, no need for anaesthesia, and results that rival surgical options.

Why Plasma Energy is Effective:

  1. Precision: Plasma energy allows for highly targeted treatment, which is crucial for delicate areas like the eyelids. The Plexr device creates a plasma arc that precisely affects only the treatment area without impacting the surrounding skin. This precision minimises the risk of unnecessary tissue damage and ensures that the desired tightening effect is achieved exactly where it is needed.
  2. Minimal Damage: Since the plasma energy does not transfer heat to the surrounding skin, there is a significantly lower risk of causing thermal damage or scarring. The controlled nature of plasma treatment ensures that only the target area is affected, promoting a safer procedure with reduced side effects compared to traditional surgical methods.
  3. Immediate Results: The ionisation process used by the Plexr device creates an instant tightening and retraction of the skin. As the plasma arc interacts with the skin, it causes immediate contraction and lifting of the treated area. This instant result is a major advantage for patients seeking quick improvements without the lengthy recovery period associated with surgery.
  4. Research-Backed: Plexr technology was developed after extensive research and clinical studies conducted in Italy and other parts of the world. These studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of plasma treatments, providing a solid scientific foundation for their use in cosmetic procedures. The research ensures that the technology is both effective and reliable, giving patients confidence in the treatment.

How Does Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty Work?

Non-surgical blepharoplasty, or a non-surgical eye lift, uses advanced plasma energy technology to address sagging skin and loose skin around the upper and lower eyelids. The Plexr device generates plasma energy by ionising gas particles in the air between the device's tip and the treated area, creating a precise plasma arc.

Plexr device then creates a series of tiny plasma arcs on the skin, causing controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the skin's natural healing response, leading to immediate tightening and retraction of the treated area.

The plasma energy also stimulates the production of new collagen fibres, which further tightens and smooths the skin over time. After the procedure, a soothing ointment is applied to promote healing, and patients are advised to avoid direct sunlight and follow specific aftercare instructions. The equipment used includes the Plexr device, topical anaesthetic cream, and soothing ointment.

This very low-risk procedure offers significant improvement in the appearance of sagging and excess skin, providing results similar to traditional surgical eyelift treatment but without the associated risks and downtime.

Benefits of Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty

Non-surgical blepharoplasty, also known as a non-surgical eye lift, offers several advantages over traditional surgical procedures. Here are the main benefits:

Minimal Downtime and Quick Recovery

The recovery process for non-surgical blepharoplasty is straightforward. After the procedure, patients can expect minimal downtime, with most returning to normal activities within a few days. There may be minor swelling or redness in the treated area, which typically subsides within a week. Patients are advised to avoid sun exposure and follow specific aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results. The use of a local anaesthetic during the procedure minimises discomfort, allowing for a quick and comfortable recovery.

Long-Lasting Results

The results of non-surgical blepharoplasty are long-lasting, often enduring for several years. The longevity of the results can be influenced by factors such as age, skin type, and lifestyle. To maintain the results, patients might require occasional maintenance treatments. The stimulation of new collagen production helps sustain skin tightening over time, making this procedure a durable solution for sagging and excess skin around the upper and lower eyelids.

Non-Invasive

The non-surgical blepharoplasty procedure does not involve any cutting or stitching, significantly reducing the risk of complications. This non-invasive approach means less trauma to the treated area, resulting in minimal discomfort and a quicker recovery. Patients can enjoy the benefits of skin tightening and lifting without the concerns associated with traditional surgical methods.

Cost-Effective

Non-surgical blepharoplasty is generally less expensive than traditional surgical procedures. This cost-effectiveness makes it an attractive option for individuals seeking to improve the appearance of their upper and lower eyelids without the financial burden of surgery. Patients can achieve noticeable results and long-term benefits at a fraction of the cost of invasive surgical treatments, 

Immediate Results

Patients can see an improvement in the appearance of sagging or loose skin around the upper and lower eyelids immediately after the non-surgical blepharoplasty treatment. This quick enhancement is one of the key advantages of the procedure, allowing individuals to enjoy a rejuvenated and youthful look right away, without the long wait associated with surgical recovery.

Stimulates New Collagen

Non-surgical blepharoplasty enhances skin tightening by promoting the production of new collagen. Collagen is essential for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. Over time, this increased collagen production leads to further improvements in skin texture and appearance, providing long-lasting results that continue to develop and improve months after the initial treatment.

Treats Various Conditions

Non-surgical blepharoplasty effectively treats a range of conditions, including excess skin, eye bags, and skin tags. This versatility makes it suitable for addressing multiple aesthetic concerns in one procedure. Patients with various skin issues around their eyes can benefit from the comprehensive treatment, achieving a smoother, more youthful appearance without the need for multiple surgeries.
