Eyelid surgery has its place in cosmetic treatment options, addressing issues like sagging skin or under-eye bags. However, it’s not the right choice for everyone. Factors such as medical history, recovery time, and personal circumstances play a significant role in determining whether someone should undergo this kind of surgery.
At Le Beau Visage Medical Spa in Frisco, TX, we offer a non-surgical eye lift using the Plasma Pen™. This treatment can provide many of the same benefits as traditional eyelid surgery but without the extensive recovery period, making it a suitable option for those seeking a less invasive alternative.
What Is a Non-Surgical Eye Lift?
A non-surgical eye lift is a treatment aimed at lifting and tightening the skin around the eyes. This approach reduces the appearance of wrinkles, drooping eyelids, and under-eye bags through skin resurfacing and increased elasticity. Unlike traditional eyelid surgery, it involves minimal downtime and less discomfort.
What Device Do We Use for Non-Surgical Eye Lifts?
For non-surgical eye lifts, we utilize the Plasma Pen, a device designed for precision and comfort. The Plasma Pen causes a healing reaction in the skin where the body produces more fibroblasts in the area that produce collagen and tighten the skin over time.
How Does Plasma Pen Work?
During the treatment, oxygen and nitrogen interact at the tip of the Plasma Pen device to create plasma energy. This energy interacts with the dermal layer of the skin, causing a small pinpoint in the area to sublimate, or change from a solid to a gas. This interaction encourages the natural production of collagen and elastin through fibroblast skin tightening.
The non-surgical eye lift device has a tiny probe that is held above the skin as the plasma energy is released. This process is so precise that we can treat the smallest skin imperfections, such as a skin tag or a dark spot, while also being able to use it on larger areas.
What Are the Benefits of a Non-Surgical Eye Lift With Plasma Pen?
- Shorter Recovery Time: A non-surgical eye lift with the Plasma Pen allows patients to experience minimal downtime. This means less interruption to your daily life compared to surgery.
- Improvement of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Patients see a noticeable reduction in fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. The Plasma Pen encourages skin regeneration for a smoother appearance.
- No Scarring: One of the advantages of a non-surgical eye lift is the absence of scars. The treatment is surface-level, meaning the skin’s deeper layers aren’t affected, preventing scarring.
- Long-Lasting Results: While not immediate, the results from eye bag treatments with the Plasma Pen can last for years, depending on the individual’s skin and lifestyle.
- Improvement in Skin Texture and Appearance: Fibroblast skin tightening technology improves the overall texture and appearance of the skin, leading to a more refreshed and rejuvenated look.
- Treatment of Eye Bags: A non-surgical eye lift effectively reduces the appearance of under-eye bags, making the eyes look brighter and more awake.
- Reduction of Hooded Eyelids: The Plasma Pen can target and reduce excess skin, which contributes to hooded eyelids.
Some Frequently Asked Questions About Non-Surgical Eye Lifts
What Can I Expect From the Treatment Process With Plasma Pen?
During a fibroblast treatment, you can expect a non-invasive session focused on the targeted areas around your eyes. The Plasma Pen will be applied to your skin, creating tiny dots that encourage skin tightening and rejuvenation. While the treatment is generally quick, the total time can vary based on the specific areas being treated. Larger areas may take some time to effectively treat while smaller areas can be done within a few minutes.
Are Plasma Pen Treatments Painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during a non-surgical eye lift with Plasma Pen. You may feel a slight tingling or warmth in the treated area. However, we apply a topical anesthetic to minimize any discomfort.
What Is the Recovery Time for a Non-Surgical Eyelift?
The recovery time following a fibroblast treatment is relatively short compared to traditional surgery. Patients can return to their normal activities within a few days, though swelling, redness, and scabbing are expected and can last longer. It’s important to follow post-treatment care instructions to facilitate healing.
How Long Will My Plasma Pen Results Last?
Results from an eye bag treatment with Plasma Pen can last several years, although this can vary depending on individual factors like skin type and age. The effects are gradual and improve over time as your skin produces more collagen and elastin.
How Many Plasma Pen Treatments Will I Need?
The number of non-surgical eye lift treatments needed varies from patient to patient. Some may see significant improvements with just one session, while others might require additional treatments to achieve their desired results.
How Should I Care for My Skin After My Plasma Pen Treatment?
After a Plasma Pen treatment, make sure to protect the treated area from direct sunlight and follow a gentle skincare routine. Do not scratch or pick off the dots, they will naturally fall off on their own. Avoiding makeup and harsh skincare products post-treatment can also help prevent irritation and support the healing process. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure your skin recovers optimally.
