The desire of a woman to extend the natural beauty of her face with age is increasing. Modern capabilities allow you to do this without resorting to surgery. One of the methods of rejuvenation is non-surgical plasma blepharoplasty.
What it is?
Plasma blepharoplasty is an innovative hardware technology. The procedure for lifting the eyelids with cold plasma, which is the fourth state of aggregation of any substance. In fact, it is a coagulation of the skin that does not heat nearby tissues. The technique provides for the elimination of wrinkles through the action of the tip of the apparatus on the skin at certain intervals.
During the procedure, an arc of plasma is created between the nozzle in the form of a needle and the surface layer of the skin. A controlled burn or microscopic damage to the dermis after regeneration can improve its condition, while reducing the area of the epithelium. The method is a kind of alternative to the current procedure, however, it is less invasive and gives a more pronounced result on rejuvenation at the sites of exposure.
The essence of the method
Plasma consists of charged particles, radicals, ions, electrons, neutral ozone atoms. When the skin is sublimated, there is no pain in every place of touching, since local anesthesia is used during its implementation. The technology eliminates bleeding and damage to surrounding tissues. They act on the skin by injection, eliminating fat deposits in the eyelids, bags under the eyes. Saggy skin is removed.
Derma contracts and heals. The non-surgical method of lifting the eyelids is based on the dissolution of the fat layer, the removal of excess moisture, as well as the regeneration of damaged skin layers.Tiny flakes usually fall off no later than a week later.
The effectiveness of the procedure becomes more pronounced 3-4 weeks after its completion and lasts up to several years.
How is it going?
Initially, the patient’s skin is cleaned of cosmetics or contaminants, after which it is treated with an antiseptic. Then, an anesthetic is applied to places of future exposure to plasma. This dressing is not always used, since usually blepharoplasty with plasma itself is not associated with severe discomfort. After 15-20 minutes, the anesthetic is removed and proceed to the treatment of the selected skin areas for correction.
They are affected for a short time, touching to obtain a plasma discharge. Do not delay touching the needle and skin, as this can cause a burn. You can increase the duration of touching the nozzle only if you need to remove a benign formation, wart, papilloma. When a full eyelid lift is performed, the entire area is treated with short touches.
In this case, take into account the nuance - the greater the severity of wrinkles, the less should be the distance between the points of exposure. Sometimes the distance does not exceed 1 mm. When the wrinkles are deep, the ablation points are chosen as close to the crease as possible. In rare cases, wrinkles are affected from within the folds. To do this, it is straightened and processed throughout the depth.
Based on client preferences and indications, it is possible to process not only a certain part of the site, but also its entirety during one procedure. Thanks to this, you can not reduce your social activity. At the end of the treatment of problem areas, the skin is again treated with an antiseptic without an alcohol base. After that, a wound healing cream is applied to it.
Formations on the legs, which include papillomas and condylomas, are removed by introducing a needle under the neoplasm itself. Its protruding part is captured with tweezers. Where the formation grows from the skin, a narrow isthmus is chosen and treated with a plasma beam, cutting off the tissue. To eliminate warts with a plasma current, a layered method is used.
It is more effective and deep, allows you to destroy the roots of warts. After it, small pits remain at the treatment site, which the patient should know about before the procedure begins. But if you do not remove the roots, the problem cannot be fixed - the warts will reappear. All nozzles used must be sterilized, like medical instruments. Used needles are disposable.
What problems does it solve?
Plasma blepharoplasty is considered an effective means of eliminating ptosis of the upper eyelid. At every point, sublimation of the skin occurs. Plastic surgery can remove dark circles around the eyes, puffiness of the skin, bags and other swelling. It is an effective tool to combat fine wrinkled mesh and drooping of the upper eyelid. This procedure can help nourish dry skin.
Plasma Pen is the latest development of hardware cosmetology and is designed for face correction. The acting tool is a nozzle in the form of a needle. Plasma Liner blepharoplasty can not only reduce the severity of wrinkles and rosacea.
It is designed for:
elimination of stretch marks;
dermis bleaching;
elimination of dark circles around the eyes;
getting rid of acne;
papillomas;
skin tightening.
The procedure is characterized by a small exposure area. It is short-lived and gives long-term results.
Plasma BT technology is based on air ionization, from where plasma is formed. Charged particles affect the problem areas of the face, so the skin around it does not burn. Using the thinnest nozzle in the form of a sterile disposable needle, the specialist creates a small network under the skin.
Contraindications
Despite the benefits of plasma blepharoplasty, there are reasons that limit its use.
For example, it is contraindicated:
in the presence of acute or chronic diseases at the acute stage;
when recovering from eye surgery;
during menstruation;
diabetics;
with myopathy;
with circulatory problems;
the presence of anemia, keratitis, blepharitis;
with any lesion of the cornea.
The procedure is not recommended for people with cancer.
Rehabilitation and recommendations
You can not count on a quick and amazing effect immediately after the procedure. As a rule, the first week after surgery is considered the beginning of the recovery period, which averages 2 weeks. After the procedure, the skin may have redness and even inflammation. The skin around the eyes can become swollen. After two weeks, the effect of the procedure becomes noticeable.
If there is pain, the doctor may prescribe painkillers. The doctor will make sure that recovery proceeds without complications. In addition, the doctor will give the patient recommendations, since the healing skin will not only peel off, but also itch.
Also, the patient is prohibited:
Do not scratch the skin;
rub your eyes;
contact lenses should not be used if the patient has done this before.
It is important not to forget to visit a specialist until the rehabilitation is over.
To reduce eye strain, you will have to give up any eye strain for some time.
It is necessary to observe standard measures, which include the rejection of:
smoking and drinking alcohol;
applying daily cosmetics, foundation, highlighter, powder.
If you follow all the rules and recommendations of a doctor, the effect of the cosmetic procedure is enough for 3-5 years. During rehabilitation, it is necessary to ensure that the skin is clean all the time. If you do not take into account basic hygiene standards, this will lead to complications.
Until the dermis is restored, you can not wash it, go to the sauna or bath. Until crusts form on it, the skin must be wiped with an antiseptic that does not have an alcohol base. In order not to lengthen the rehabilitation time, crusts cannot be peeled off. They must fall off on their own, after which you can wash your skin with soap.
To get rid of discomfort, you can use dry cold (ice) by wrapping it in a napkin.
Complications
Despite the fact that swelling at the initial stage is considered the norm, you can not leave it unattended. If the swelling lasts a long time, urgent measures must be taken. Other complications after plasma blepharoplasty include hematomas. They can be located under the eyes or under the skin at the site of exposure.
Many problems appear not because of the negligence of a specialist, but because of the lack of hygiene rules after blepharoplasty with plasma. Before carrying out the procedure, it is worth thoroughly studying the choice of the clinic based on the feedback of those who have already done similar procedures with certain specialists.
It is important to understand that any cosmetic effect carries certain risks. You can not resort to it if the problem is not so palpable.
