Non-surgical facelift using Plexer - is the method highly effective?

Innovative technologies make it possible to stop the passing of years and correct aesthetic problems. Hardware cosmetology provides gentle, gentle care for the face and body. The effect at the cellular level helps to normalize metabolic processes and activate regeneration. The Plexer device for non-surgical facelift helps solve a whole range of problems; reviews about it confirm its positive effect. The effect is carried out exclusively on the dermis; controlled damage does not affect the epidermis. As a result, there is no pain, risk of infection or scarring.

What it is

The innovative device was developed by Professor Giorgio Fippy for electrosurgery. The procedure involves exposure to controlled high voltage, low power alternating current. Ionization occurs between the tip and the surface of the skin and an electric arc appears. Artificial replacement of tissue is observed, its excess is eliminated.

The target areas are heated, while the tip itself, with which manipulations are carried out, remains cold. An excellent way of non-surgical tightening, as well as solving complex cosmetic problems.

Plexr device for blepharoplasty

Today, the development of the Italian company GMV - Plexr device is very popular. This company is one of the leaders that produces instruments and devices for medical and aesthetic cosmetology procedures. The device copes well with the problems of stretched skin, is effective in eliminating stretch marks, age spots and scars, milia and warts. Has proven itself in the fight against wrinkles. Plexr is a modern, innovative device for non-ablative surgery.

Indications for use

Innovative technology allows you to work with aging skin prone to sagging and dryness. The possibility of using a non-surgical method for the delicate skin of the eyelids and mouth area provides amazing results. Correction of aesthetic imperfections and restoration of skin elasticity are the main tasks when prescribing the procedure.

Indications for use:

• dry, flabby skin;
• hypermigmentation;
• scars, scars, papillomas, dyskeratosis, xanthelasma;
• acne, acne, uneven, bumpy relief;
• drooping eyelids, excess skin due to age-related changes;
• swelling, bags under the eyes;
• drooping corners of the outer eye;
• superficial and medium depth wrinkles;
• crow's feet eyes, purse string areas of the mouth.

Who is the procedure indicated for?

This manipulation is most common among representatives of the fairer sex after 35 years. Less often, men also resort to blepharoplasty, mainly for medical reasons. Eyelid surgery without surgery is recommended for:

• ptosis;
• formation of the nasolacrimal groove;
• the appearance of bags and dark circles under the eyes;
• sagging upper eyelids;
• pigmentation;
• stretched skin

Manipulation is also recommended for those patients for whom surgery is contraindicated. Hardware blepharoplasty can eliminate the following defects:

• scars;
• papillomas;
• rosacea

Efficiency of the technique

As a result of the procedure, it is possible to restore the firmness and elasticity of the skin. Wrinkles are smoothed out, swelling and pigmentation disappear.

The possibility of excision of excess tissue with drooping eyelids gives expressiveness to the look.

The use of the device allows you to replace more traumatic methods of correction - laser technologies, radio wave lifting, injection procedures, surgical operations.

Note! It can be performed from the age of 18; it is also used in adulthood after 50–60 years as an effective rejuvenating method. There are no seasonal restrictions for use.

To create prominent cheekbones and smooth out deep wrinkles, using Plexer is ineffective. It is possible to include the procedure in a comprehensive anti-aging program.

Blepharoplasty is the operation that I perform more often than others. This can be a very simple correction of fat bags, or a rather complex set of measures to return the patient’s eyes to their former youthful appearance. In any case, eyelid lifting is a very delicate and responsible job. After all, this is an area of ​​the face where a surgeon’s mistake will be almost impossible to hide. Surprisingly, most patients have completely misconceptions about blepharoplasty. Here are the five main myths about this operation that I want to dispel...

Eyelid surgery is such a simple operation that even a novice surgeon can perform it.

In fact:

Blepharoplasty is an operation that requires precise, careful movements from a specialist, a sufficient amount of knowledge, skills and, of course, practice. Eyelid surgery, performed not by a professional, but by a person without the proper level of qualifications, can result in fatal consequences not only from an aesthetic, but also from a medical point of view. Any rough movement by the surgeon will affect the final result, and in most cases it will not be possible to hide the flaws from an unsuccessful operation.

The worst thing is that young doctors begin to work and gain experience in this area, making a huge number of mistakes due to the technical complexity of surgical intervention.

The duration of the operation is no more than 20 minutes.

In fact:

The eyelid surgery procedure, of course, can be completed in half an hour, but you probably won’t be happy with the result. Any plastic surgery, especially such a high level, requires preparation; there is no need to rush into performing a surgical intervention. Why? Just think about it, is it possible to do the work accurately and efficiently while in a constant rush? Many people spend more time on morning makeup, but here we are talking about a real facial transformation!

In cases where large-scale correction of the shape of the eyelids is necessary, blepharoplasty may take 2 hours or more.

The operation takes place without complications in 100% of cases.

In fact:

No surgeon (not just a plastic surgeon) will give you a complete guarantee that complications will not arise, but an experienced, good doctor will be able to identify them at an early stage and, accordingly, eliminate them more successfully. Time plays a key role in this case, because an advanced complication resulting from unsuccessful blepharoplasty can cause a number of other problems. Infection is especially dangerous if the mucous surface of the eyelid is cut.

Sometimes patients come to the clinic who had blepharoplasty performed by another, apparently inexperienced, doctor and suffered complications as a result. In this case, the doctor has a great responsibility to correct other people's flaws and shortcomings. Therefore, the operation should be trusted only to proven, qualified plastic surgeons.

Local anesthesia is the best option for blepharoplasty.

In fact:

There are several tangible advantages to using general anesthesia for blepharoplasty. And the vast majority of experts believe that surgery to correct the shape of the eyelids should be performed under general anesthesia. First, by completely relaxing the muscles, it will be easier for the surgeon to determine the correct amount of skin to remove, so the likelihood of an accurate result increases. Secondly, when local anesthesia is administered, swelling and swelling may appear, which makes the procedure difficult. Third, the patient's orbicularis oculi muscles may begin to contract involuntarily, ultimately leading to bruising and possible error.

A small incision allows you to completely hide the traces of blepharoplasty.

In fact:

To begin with, it is not always possible to use the “short cut” technique. A short incision is used only when it is necessary to remove subcutaneous fatty tissue or fatty hernias. That is, when there is no need to remove excess tissue. To remove an overhanging eyelid, using a short incision is not suitable, because this may lead to a change in the shape of the eye. Or the technique simply will not be effective enough to achieve the goal of the operation. If the patient is concerned about the possible visibility of traces of surgical intervention, then various techniques and methods of inconspicuous suturing come to the rescue. For example, I successfully use the “Invisible Seam” method.

Is preparation necessary?

At the preparation stage, you need to choose a clinic or medical center where the Plexer device is successfully used. During a consultation with a cosmetologist, the target areas the effect the patient wishes to achieve are determined. A complete medical history is also taken to determine whether allergic reactions, eye diseases, or chronic pathologies are present. To identify hidden conditions, consultation with specialists and further examination may be required. There are no restrictions required prior to the procedure. But the result of the correction still depends on lifestyle and aging processes.

You should not consume alcohol, salty or spicy foods for a week before the procedure. But these restrictions are only recommendations that are not required to be followed.

The effect of the procedure depends on the method of implementation.

How does the procedure work?

It is better to trust aesthetic corrections to trusted clinics and medical centers. You should pay attention not only to positive reviews and a portfolio of work, but also to the qualifications of the cosmetologist. It is necessary to have a medical education, as well as undergo training to work with the Plexer device.

Stages of implementation:

1. Preparation of the skin of the face and neck begins with cleansing, removing makeup, remaining dust, sebaceous secretions, along massage lines using professional cosmetics.
2. The target areas are then treated with an anesthetic cream, a popular one among cosmetologists is Emla.
3. After the anesthetic cream has taken effect, hardware treatment with Plexer occurs, the patient can only feel a slight tingling sensation.
4. At the end of the procedure, small crusts form in the affected areas; the session lasts about 30–40 minutes.
5. Upon completion, the patient can go home; observation and medical support are not required.

For patients of what age is the Plexr® hardware technique best suited?

In my practice, I used the Plexr® device when working with a patient who was only 28 years old. This girl made an appointment with me over the phone, and I didn’t know her age. She later sent me a photo of herself and I saw that she was quite young and was confident that she would not need the procedure.

But sometimes, as a result of genetic factors, wrinkles have a very specific relief, and I still used Plexr® to help this patient. That is, my youngest patient was 28 years old, and then I can continue for a very long time, since these are definitely patients 60+. Moreover, I have young ladies who at this age have never undergone surgery, and they look great.

Where is it done and how much does the procedure cost in Moscow?

The cost depends on the clinic, the doctor’s qualifications, and the area of ​​correction. Often, consultation with specialists is required, tests, and additional examinations are paid separately. Thanks to the innovative cosmetology device, it is possible to carry out a number of procedures:

• blepharoplasty - from 15,000 rubles. up to 20,000 rubles;
• reducing the number and depth of wrinkles in the eye area, mouth, neck, décolleté - from RUB 4,000. up to 10,000 rubles;
• treatment of acne and the consequences of acne - from 500 rubles. up to 10,000 rubles;
• smoothing of scars, scars - from 500 rubles. up to 10,000 rubles;
• restoration of facial contour - from 15,000 rubles. up to 30,000 rubles;
• restoration of a clear line of the lower part of the oval, elimination of a double chin - from 10,000 rubles. up to 25,000 rubles;
• removal of papillomas, warts, spider veins - from 100 rubles. up to 1000 rub. for 1 element.

Attention! You should not trust private cosmetologists without medical education to correct your appearance. But even in a prestigious medical center, it is important to inquire about certificates and licenses for the provision of aesthetic and medical services, about the doctor’s qualifications, and training in work techniques.

The cost of hardware treatment with Plexer is several times lower than injection techniques and plastic surgery.

Skin sublimation

Using a needle nozzle, a special mesh is applied, creating light burns. These burns facilitate the penetration of plasma under the skin, after which wrinkles are smoothed out and skin defects disappear.

After the procedure, brown crusts remain on the eyelids , which will disappear within a few days.

Plasma Pen

Cosmetology device Plazmopen for plasma blepharoplasty.
The average cost is 6,000 rubles. Country of origin: China. It is worth noting that Plasmopen for hardware cosmetology will not achieve a long-term effect. The procedure will need to be repeated regularly. Also, approximately 20% of users noticed that there was no visible effect the first time.

Healing period

After the procedure, small burn spots located in a checkerboard pattern are visible on the target areas. During the first 2 days, swelling may appear; this is a natural process after correction.

The resulting crusts should not be touched or scratched, otherwise hyperpigmentation of the skin may occur. You must wear sunglasses for 2 weeks after Plexer blepharoplasty.

After the procedure, hygienic care and treatment of areas is carried out using antiseptic wipes. To speed up healing, cosmetologists recommend using panthenol.

On days 4–7, the crusts disappear on their own, but you can evaluate the result after a month. To speed up healing, your doctor may recommend reducing your consumption of sugar and alcoholic beverages. During this period, you need to apply sunscreen with SPF factor 50, you can also use a non-greasy hypoallergenic cream.

The course consists of 3–4 procedures, carried out at intervals of once a month. Maintaining results depends on skin care, progression of aging processes, and lifestyle. On average, the effect lasts from 12–36 months, equal to the results of plastic surgery, and can be repeated after the effect has subsided.

How is the session conducted?

Stages of implementation:

1. the patient’s skin is cleansed with an antiseptic;
2. then an anesthetic drug is applied to the area of ​​the epidermis (usually a bandage with an anesthetic is used);
3. direct effect of plasma on the eyelids - under no circumstances should the needle be kept on the skin, otherwise this may lead to burns;
4. after plasma treatment, wipe the skin with an antiseptic again;
5. At the end, a wound healing cream is applied.

The distance between the needle points depends on the condition of the skin - the more wrinkles, the less space they recede. Sometimes the distance does not exceed 1 mm.

• diabetes;
• tuberculosis;
• chronic diseases of systems and organs;

Consequences

Despite the fact that the manufacturer claims that the procedure is comfortable, many patients report pain. Depends on the pain threshold and the choice of anesthetic cream. After treatment, swelling, redness, itching, and burning are observed in the area of ​​exposure. These are normal reactions during the recovery period; it is important to follow the care recommendations to avoid unwanted effects such as hyperpigmentation or lack of effect. Other side effects, such as with invasive, laser techniques or surgical correction, such as scars, asymmetry, infection, inflammation, are excluded.

Comparison with other anti-aging procedures

Currently, the main methods of facelift are the following procedures.

Botox. Toxin injections are used to smooth out facial wrinkles, mainly on the upper part of the face. If the dosage and regimen are incorrectly chosen, side effects often occur.

It is not recommended for use if lymphatic drainage is impaired; therapy for the correction of drooping eyelids is ineffective. The result lasts from 3 to 12 months, recommended for 30 to 45 years.

Fillers. Beauty injections based on vitamins, collagen, and hyaluronic acid allow for a non-injection facelift. If the technique is not followed, swelling may occur, and trauma to the skin can lead to the formation of hematomas.

The result lasts from several months to a year, and is used to prevent age-related changes and correction in a complex of anti-aging programs.

Laser techniques. They help improve the overall condition of the skin, restore healthy color, and cope with signs of fatigue. An ineffective method for pronounced age-related changes, it is not performed for the correction of drooping eyelids or tightening the oval.

Plastic surgery. It has many contraindications and restrictions. Long recovery period, often requiring additional procedures to speed up healing. The expensive operation is performed under general anesthesia, which is additional stress for the body. Side effects are possible, there are risks of developing an inflammatory process, asymmetry, and visual impairment.

Description of technology

A special nozzle acts on the ion channels, after which they open wider. The procedure helps destroy bacteria on the surface of the skin. The technology is similar to iontophoresis, but in this case the efficiency is higher.

After this, hyaluronic acid enters the skin, which creates an invisible protective film and moisturizes the skin.

Some acid molecules penetrate into the deep layers of the skin, which promotes the production of its own hyaluronic acid. This process ensures constant nutrition of the epidermis.

The duration of one procedure is half an hour . Experts note that the effect of one procedure will be noticeable, but it is better to complete the entire course.

Plexr device for blepharoplasty reviews

This procedure suited me completely. As I got older, excess skin began to appear on my eyelids. The view was not pleasant. I didn’t want to have blepharoplasty, it wasn’t that bad. I read reviews about the new device, there were both positive and negative. But there are still more good ones. In principle, the risk was not great and the price for the plexr procedure with a blepharoplasty device was quite adequate. I can’t say that the result was stunning, but I looked noticeably better, the small wrinkles were gone. The deeper ones remain, of course. The circles under the eyes and the swelling of the upper eyelid have become smaller. After the operation, I think the result is more significant, but this is enough for me.
