Plexr Upper + Lower Eyelid (Combined)

Service Description

WHAT IT IS Plexr is a plasma device. It ionises the gas in the air just above the skin to create a tiny plasma arc, which sublimates a microscopic point of the surface tissue without ever touching the skin and without transmitting heat to the surrounding area. The treated points contract immediately, tightening the skin between them, and healing over the following days produces further collagen. Applied to the upper and lower eyelids in the same session, treating the whole eye area together. WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE IT The recovery is the same length whether you treat one lid or both, so combining them means one week of downtime instead of two — and the eye area is rejuvenated as a whole, avoiding the mismatch of a lifted upper lid above untreated lower skin. WHAT WE AIM FOR A comprehensively rejuvenated eye area — reduced upper lid hooding and tighter, smoother lower lid skin — from a single recovery period. WHO IT SUITS · Both upper hooding and lower crepiness · Wanting the whole eye area treated coherently · Preferring one recovery week to two · Comprehensive non-surgical eye rejuvenation TREATMENT DETAILS Appointment: 75–90 minutes plus numbing Discomfort: Well tolerated with numbing cream Downtime: Crusting 5–7 days; marked swelling days 2–3 Time off: Allow one full week First results: 7–10 days Full result: 8–12 weeks Sessions: 1–3 Value: Saves against treating each lid separately FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Is treating both at once safe? Yes, when performed by an experienced practitioner with appropriate treatment density. Dr Selvi will assess whether your skin and your circumstances make a combined session appropriate, or whether staging is better for you. Will I be able to see properly during recovery? Vision itself is unaffected, but swelling on days two and three can narrow the eye opening and feel restrictive. It is temporary. Do not plan to drive on those days if the swelling is significant. What does the healing actually look like? Small dark carbon crusts form at each treated point within minutes. They stay for five to seven days and then fall away on their own. They must not be picked, scratched or covered with make-up — picking is the main cause of marking and it is entirely avoidable. How much swelling should I expect? Around the eyes, considerable. Swelling typically peaks on day two or three and can be enough that you would not want to be seen. It settles from day four. Plan a week away from anything social. Is it painful? Strong numbing cream is applied for around 30 to 45 minutes beforehand and most patients tolerate the treatment well. Afterwards it feels like mild sunburn for a day. Will it leave a mark? Uncommon when aftercare is followed properly. There may be temporary pinkness for a few weeks after the crusts fall. Post-inflammatory pigmentation is a genuine risk in richly pigmented skin — Dr Selvi will assess your skin type and advise honestly whether Plexr is appropriate for you. What is the aftercare? Keep the area clean and dry, do not pick the crusts, use only the products Dr Selvi provides or recommends, no make-up until the crusts have gone, and strict SPF 50 for at least three months afterwards. The sun protection is not optional. Who should not have Plexr? It is not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, in active infection or inflammation of the area, for those prone to keloid scarring, or where there is a tendency to post-inflammatory pigmentation. Recent isotretinoin use is also a contraindication. Dr Selvi will confirm your suitability. Who will treat me? All treatments at Dr Selvi Clinic are carried out by a doctor, following a face-to-face consultation and an assessment of your suitability.
