    Introduction to PLEXR

    PLEXR is a non-surgical treatment that offers a revolutionary approach to addressing various skin concerns, including excess skin, skin lesions, and stretch marks. Powered by plasma technology, an innovative advancement in aesthetic medicine, PLEXR provides a non-surgical alternative to traditional eyelid surgery such as blepharoplasty. This innovative treatment is an effective alternative to surgical procedures, providing a safe and low-risk solution for individuals seeking to rejuvenate their appearance. PLEXR treatments are designed to stimulate skin tightening, promoting a more youthful and radiant look. With its advanced technology and minimally invasive approach, PLEXR has become a popular choice for those seeking a non-surgical solution to common skin concerns. Plexr Soft Surgery is a minimally invasive, long-lasting treatment option that mimics the results of traditional blepharoplasty, offering effective eyelid rejuvenation with minimal downtime.

    What is PLEXR

    PLEXR is a revolutionary and patented innovation in the world of surgical and aesthetic medicine, offering a non-surgical alternative to traditional surgical procedures. This soft surgery treatment harnesses the power of plasma energy to precisely target and remove superficial skin cells, while also stimulating skin tightening in the treated area. PLEXR is designed to address a variety of skin concerns, including excess skin and skin lesions, without the need for incisions or stitches. As a non-surgical treatment, PLEXR provides a safe, low-risk solution for those seeking effective results in skin rejuvenation. Its unique approach has made it a standout choice in aesthetic medicine, delivering impressive outcomes for patients who want to avoid the risks and downtime associated with surgical procedures.

    How PLEXR Works

    PLEXR works by utilizing plasma energy to stimulate skin tightening and removal of superficial skin cells. This process involves the creation of a plasma arc, which is applied to the treated area to produce a controlled thermal effect. This process is known as skin sublimation, where plasma energy sublimates superficial skin cells for tightening and contraction. The PLEXR device is designed to deliver a precise and controlled amount of energy, ensuring a safe and effective treatment experience. The treatment targets only the intended area without damaging the surrounding tissue or surrounding tissues, preserving the safety and integrity of deeper skin layers. The procedure is typically performed using a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort, and the treatment time can vary depending on the area being treated. PLEXR is an excellent treatment option for those seeking a non surgical blepharoplasty as a minimally invasive alternative to surgical blepharoplasty, eyelid surgery, or other invasive procedures.

PLEXR Treatments and Applications

PLEXR treatments are highly versatile, making them suitable for a wide range of skin concerns. Whether you are dealing with excess skin, skin tags, or skin lesions, PLEXR offers a non-surgical solution that delivers noticeable results. One of the most popular applications is eyelid correction, where PLEXR provides an effective alternative to surgical blepharoplasty for both upper and lower eyelids. The treatment is also ideal for tightening loose skin on the face and neck, and can be tailored to address specific issues such as acne scarring, stretch marks, and sun-damaged skin. PLEXR treatments are suitable for various skin types, allowing for personalized care that targets your unique needs. With minimal downtime and long-lasting results, PLEXR is a leading choice for those seeking to improve their skin’s appearance without surgery.

Treating Excess Skin

PLEXR is an effective treatment for excess skin, particularly in the upper and lower eyelids. The treatment can help to tighten and lift the skin, reducing the appearance of saggy or hooded eyelids. Unlike a surgical procedure such as traditional blepharoplasty, which involves general anesthesia and removal of skin, PLEXR offers a non-surgical alternative with minimal downtime. PLEXR can also be used to treat excess skin in other areas, such as the neck and face. The treatment is designed to stimulate collagen production, promoting a more youthful and radiant appearance. With PLEXR, individuals can achieve significant improvements in the appearance of their skin, without the need for surgical procedures or significant downtime. Additionally, PLEXR can be tailored to address specific concerns, such as localized skin laxity or delicate areas like the eyelids.

Superficial Skin Cells Removal

PLEXR is a highly effective treatment for removing superficial skin cells, including skin tags and other lesions. The treatment uses plasma energy to vaporize the affected area, leaving behind a smoother and more even skin texture. PLEXR can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, including acne scarring, stretch marks, and sun-damaged skin. The treatment is typically performed in a series of plexr sessions, and some individuals may require more than one treatment to achieve optimal results. The number of plexr sessions needed depends on the individual’s skin condition and treatment goals. How many plexr sessions are required is determined during consultation and typically ranges from one to three. PLEXR is a safe and low-risk treatment option, with minimal complications or side effects.

Safety and Effectiveness

PLEXR is widely recognized as a safe and effective treatment in the field of aesthetic medicine. By utilizing plasma energy, PLEXR stimulates skin tightening and removes superficial skin cells without the need for cutting or invasive surgical procedures. This non-surgical treatment has a strong safety profile, with minimal risk of complications or side effects. Clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of PLEXR in delivering long-lasting improvements in skin texture and firmness. As a non-surgical solution, PLEXR is ideal for patients who want to avoid the risks and recovery time associated with traditional surgical procedures, while still achieving significant results in skin rejuvenation.

Potential Discomfort

During PLEXR treatments, most patients experience only mild discomfort, often described as a tingling or burning sensation in the treatment area. To ensure your comfort, a topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure begins. This helps to minimize any unpleasant sensations, making the treatment well-tolerated for the vast majority of patients. Any mild discomfort or burning sensation typically subsides quickly, and most patients are able to return to their normal activities immediately after their session. Temporary side effects, such as redness or swelling, may occur but usually resolve within a few days.

PLEXR Treatment Process

The PLEXR treatment process typically begins with a consultation to determine the individual’s suitability for the treatment. A topical numbing cream is applied to the treated area to minimize discomfort, and the PLEXR device is used to deliver a precise and controlled amount of energy. The treatment time can vary depending on the area being treated, but most sessions last between 30-60 minutes. After the treatment, the individual may experience some swelling, redness, or discomfort, but these side effects are typically mild and temporary. Carbon crusts may form on the treated area and should not be rubbed off during the first week to ensure proper healing. A soothing cream may be applied to the treated area to promote healing and reduce discomfort. It is essential to follow the aftercare advice provided by the practitioner to ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of complications. Following care advice is crucial for minimizing side effects and promoting proper healing. PLEXR is a very low-risk procedure, but as with any treatment, there may be some risks or side effects, such as infection or scarring. However, these complications are rare and can be minimized by following the aftercare advice and attending follow-up appointments.

Aftercare

Post Treatment Expectations

  • You should expect a swelling around the treated area, this is normal and usually subsides within 1 – 4 days after the procedure.
  • The treated area will have a light brown crust present. The crust will fall off after 5-10 days (for most patients), leaving pink skin. Any pink or brown (pigmented) small dots that may appear like a “dip” in the skin are completely normal within the first few months. These can occasionally persist for longer.

Post Treatment Aftercare

  • Do not use an exfoliating cleanser over the area.
  • Pat dry the treated area; you must NOT rub.
  • Do not apply plasters or cover the area.
  • Avoid exercise for 72 hours or until the swelling subsides.
  • Do NOT drink alcohol and stay well hydrated, during your healing period. If you smoke, we advise keeping this to a minimum – try nicotine gum.

Please note, the above aftercare is just a guide. Full aftercare advice will be given to you when you attend your appointment with us.

Healing and Recovery

The healing process following a PLEXR treatment is generally straightforward and quick. Patients may notice some mild redness or swelling in the treated area, but these effects are temporary and usually fade within a few days. To achieve optimal results, it is important to follow the aftercare advice provided by your practitioner, which includes avoiding sun exposure and smoking during the healing process. Most patients can resume their daily routines immediately, as PLEXR requires minimal downtime. By adhering to recommended aftercare, you can support the healing process and enjoy the full benefits of your treatment.

Comparison to Other Options

When compared to traditional surgical procedures, PLEXR stands out as a unique and effective non-surgical treatment for excess skin and skin lesions. Unlike surgical blepharoplasty, PLEXR does not involve cutting, stitches, or significant downtime, making it a more convenient and less invasive option. The treatment is also more cost-effective and carries a lower risk of complications than traditional surgery. In addition, PLEXR offers more targeted and predictable results than many other non-surgical treatments, especially for concerns like excess skin and skin lesions. For patients seeking a safe, effective, and non-surgical solution to their skin concerns, PLEXR provides an excellent alternative to both surgical and other non-surgical treatment options.

Plexr

FAQ

Plexr generates a 4th state of matter called plasma (not the plasma in blood), using the air molecules in the tiny space between the device and the target skin. This plasma has a unique ability to gently sublimate (evaporate) the target skin. Aside from mole removal, all skin tightening procedures are not removing all the skin but just the very surface, leaving the underlying dermis intact. This is also typically done in a dot-like (fractional) pattern to avoid significant downtime. This process leaves carbon crusts which fall off in the coming days after treatment. Eventually the skin regenerates and it is this NEW skin which is the key. Plasma seems to trigger a powerful cascade of bioremodelling with new collagen and elastin being made. The skin thus becomes architecturally younger and therefore tighter. Plexr is the most powerful non-surgical skin tightening device that currently exists.

Plexr was the original device and Plexr PLUS was a 2nd generation model that came out in 2017. The terms are used synonymously. We use Plexr PLUS for our treatments.

In a word, YES. Due to the revolutionary way in which PLEXR works, it is an extremely safe device in the hands of a trained doctor. There are important aspects of recovery you will be informed about as well as any longer-term potential complications. Although those of darker skin carry a high risk of developing reactive pigmentation, Dr Patel has treated numerous patients with this skin type, with no long-term complications seen. However, if you have olive or darker skin, you will be prescribed a skin preparatory regime for 2-4 weeks use prior to treatment, to minimise the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Dr Patel will discuss potential side effects with you during the consultation and you will be given plenty of time to pose any questions you may have.

Plexr is a safe treatment. However, there are some expected side effects which will last for approximately 5-7 days in most patients. These are a brown carbon crust which is like superficial dots on the skin. These are covered well with the camouflage required after treatment. The other effect is swelling which is most remarkable 1-3 days after treatment. By day 5, most people have no or very little swelling remaining, although rarely this can go on for longer. After the crusts fall off- usually around 5-7 days, pink fresh skin will be revealed. A bit like when a scab falls off a wound, you will notice shallow pits in the skin where the crusts were. These pits will gradually fill up with newly generated skin rich with dense collagen and elastin. Pink areas may develop pigmentation which is expected to resolve in due course. This is perfectly covered with the camouflage, so cosmetically, most people are “party fit” a week after treatment. The risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is low as long as you follow the prescribed aftercare advice.

There is some discomfort reported but almost all patients are able to sit and chat away during treatment. You are numbed prior to Plexr and aftercare in our clinic involves cooling as well as a soothing gel being applied. No one has yet cancelled their intention of having a 2nd treatment where needed, due to discomfort at their first visit.

This should be years, not months. No treatment gives permanent results, not even surgery. Ageing is a dynamic process and your Plexr treatment will not stunt further ageing. Many factors will influence the rate of ageing and therefore the duration of perceived results, such as lifestyle (smoking, alcohol etc), sun exposure, racial origin, genetics etc. Some people do suffer from accelerated ageing and we have encountered surgical patients coming to us for Plexr within a year or two of having had surgery.

The most significant period of your recovery will be the first 7-10 days. We have trialled many products over the years and GF5 has been astounding in how it speeds recovery, even when compared to other similar products on the market. GF5 is a bio-regenerative growth factor serum that will not only shorten recovery time but also help you achieve even better results. By using this topical growth factor formula you also reduce your risk of getting complications. 
The medical foundation is essential to provide safe sun protection for your healing skin and it also allows you to hide your pink (healing) skin from others.

Very pleased with the way Dr Patel explained my treatment upper eyelid blepharoplasty with Plexr. Everything was explained to me and felt only a very slight “tingle ” staff were very friendly and helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Patel.

Testimonial

Upon arriving at the Perfect Skin Solutions Clinic, I felt welcome and totally at ease. After having filled out the necessary forms in order to proceed with my procedure, upper and lower blepharoplasty using Plexr, I was then greeted very warmly by Dr Patel and the procedure involving Plexr was explained in full to me.

I was then ushered in to a very pleasant treatment room where anaesthetic cream was applied to my upper and lower eyelids, I relaxed for a good half an hour whilst the cream took affect, Dr Patel’s assistant kept checking that all was ok and explained in full how the treated areas would start to feel numb. I felt totally relaxed and well informed during this period.

Once the cream had taken effect I was taken in to the treatment room for the Plexr treatment to take place. It was explained to me what sensation I would feel whilst enduring the Plexr treatment. I felt relaxed and found the whole procedure extremely tolerable, only experiencing perhaps a couple of slightly less tolerable ‘stings’. Dr Patel ensured I was comfortable at all time whilst the procedure was taking place.

On completion a soothing cream was applied to my upper and lower eyelids and what I should expect to experience after the treatment was explained fully to me. The ‘down time’ for me personally was just a week, (eyes slightly swollen for the first couple of days) that is when all the little crusts were shed leaving underlying pink skin, which I applied my medicated foundation to every day, this helped with the healing process and helped camouflage the pink areas.

The results are nothing short of a miracle, my eyes look less tired and heavy, the excess skin on my upper eyelids has reduced greatly, my lower eyelids (eye bags) had been a problem to me for a long time, making me appear permanently tired. This has disappeared and the results are nothing short of a miracle, to think I was very seriously considering the conventional method of blepharoplasty makes me shudder… I will not by any means hesitate in contacting Dr Patel in the near future.
