One of the most obvious signs of ageing is a change in the way that our eyes look. You might start to notice that the skin around your eyelids begins to sag as you age, with excess tissue, muscle or fat appearing. Though this is a natural part of getting older, it might be something that you want to change. It could cause you to feel insecure or self-conscious, or reminiscence of time when you looked younger. This is where an eyelid lift comes in – also known as blepharoplasty – which involves the removal of excess tissue around upper and lower eyelids, as well as the ‘bags’ under the eyes.
Though blepharoplasty does solve the problem, it’s an invasive and surgical way of going about things. Plus, it can be expensive. It can be painful and it calls for a few weeks of recovery time, which can be inconvenient to say the least. Luckily, Plasma Pen offers an alternative solution.
The Benefits of a Plasma Pen Eye Lift
A Plasma Pen eye lift is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that encourages the skin to produce collagen and elastin. By doing so, the skin surrounding the eye is tightened and the sagging is removed, creating a more youthful, smoother and rejuvenated appearance. A Plasma Pen eye lift achieves the same results as going under the knife, but in a non-invasive way.
- It’s a Non-Invasive Treatment – A Plasma Pen eye lift is a non-invasive treatment, meaning that there’s minimal pain involved and very little in terms of recovery time. Plasma Pen treatment works by making small injuries to the surface of the skin and, though this can be slightly uncomfortable, it’s a lot less painful than surgery. This also means there’s less of a recovery time and aftercare tends to be a lot simpler.
- The Results Are Long Lasting – The results of a Plasma Pen eye lift are long lasting, so it’s not a treatment that you’ll need to have every few months. The majority of people find that Plasma Pen results last for between two and three years, and only then will you begin to see the results fade.
- You’ll Heal Quickly – You can expect to heal quickly from a Plasma Pen eye lift, a lot quicker than if you had a surgical treatment. The swelling, redness, tenderness and scabbing after Plasma Pen should be gone within a week, and you’ll be completely healed a few weeks after that. There’s no need to take time off work, change your routine or have any downtime.
- It’s a Cost Effective Treatment – There is no denying the hefty price tag that comes with surgery, but Plasma Pen is a cheaper alternative. As Plasma Pen is non-invasive and non-surgical, it’s also a more affordable way to have an eye lift, enabling you to see the benefits but without breaking the bank.
- The Results Are Impressive – You will likely see results of Plasma Pen immediately after treatment, but the full results will be noticeable between one and two months after. The results of a Plasma Pen eye lift are impressive, and it can improve your appearance just as much as surgery can.
What to Expect From a Plasma Pen Eye Lift
Once you have decided on a Plasma Pen eye lift, and you have chosen an experienced practitioner, it’s time for the treatment. A Plasma Pen eye lift starts with cleansing the area, ensuring all dirt, oil and debris is removed from the skin. You will need to remove all makeup and allow the skin to dry, giving the device a clean surface to work with.
The Plasma Pen device is then aimed at the target areas, including the upper and lower eyelids, and a small amount of plasma energy is transferred to the skin. This creates a small amount of damage, and is repeated until the entire ‘problem’ area has been treated. As the skin heals, collagen and elastin is produced, which tightens the skin and lifts the eye.
Unlike a surgical eyelid lift, no incisions are made and the recovery time is minimal. Though you should expect a small amount of swelling, redness and tenderness, this doesn’t last for too long and the results quickly become clear.
Is Having a Plasma Pen Eye Lift Worth It?
Deciding whether a Plasma Pen eye lift is worth it depends on individual circumstances, preferences and expectations of the treatment. But, the majority of people agree that it’s a worthwhile treatment to have, especially if you are unhappy with the amount of sagging and ageing around your eyes. Whether it’s loose skin that you’re dealing with or fine lines and wrinkles, Plasma Pen has a positive impact on the skin and your appearance.
There are various advantages to choosing Plasma Pen – including reducing the sagging around your eyes, combating wrinkles and tightening loose skin – and it’s a cost effective option, making it a treatment that’s hugely accessible, more so than surgery. With its minimal side effects and quick recovery time, it’s a way to have an eye lift without the worry of taking time off work, cancelling plans with friends and dealing with the pain of recovery.
Plasma Pen can be used for a whole host of treatments, and its capabilities span much further than eye lifts. Whether you are struggling to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on other parts of your face, or you have sun damage or acne scarring that needs correcting, Plasma Pen is an option worth considering.
