Plasma jet treatment on the eyelid is a minimally invasive procedure. All non-surgical techniques that help control aging in the eye area are called incisionless blepharoplasty.
The plasma used in this type of treatment is an ionized gas formed through the action of a strong energy that promotes the separation of ions and atoms. The equipment used generates an artificial direct-current plasma of high intensity and voltage. It works by producing a subtle retraction of the skin in the eyelid area.
What is blepharofulguration?
Blepharofulguration is a non-invasive, safe and effective technique designed to treat skin laxity in the eyelid region through the electrofulguration method, restructuring the elastic fibers and collagen in this area.
The procedure is not eyelid surgery, so there is not even a need to take time off from daily activities. It consists of using an electrocautery device, which generates an electric current and promotes the electrocoagulation process. In other words, protein denaturation and retraction of the tissue being treated take place.
Besides being a technique indicated for removing eyelid sagging, fat and wrinkles and for rejuvenating the eye area, it can be recommended for treating hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, scars and eyebrow depigmentation.
How long do blepharoplasty results last?
Upper and lower blepharoplasty visually slows down the aging process in the eyelid and eye area, but its purpose is not to halt your body’s natural progression.
In other words, yes, the result does last for a long time. However, some years after the cosmetic plastic surgery, some morphological changes may reappear in the area where the surgery was performed. Therefore, there is no expiration date for the results obtained with the treatment.
How long do incisionless blepharoplasty results last?
Incisionless blepharoplasty is a procedure performed in sessions; in some patients, results can be noticed right after the first session. However, three sessions at six-week intervals are recommended, in addition to the maintenance phase of the treatment.
Plasma jet alone will not resolve excess eyelid skin in every case; after all, with this method the patient will have subtle, superficial results, unlike plastic surgery.
