What is Plexr?

It is a non-invasive ‘soft surgery’ where there is no scalpel or laser involved. Plexr works by ionising the gas particles in the air between the instrument tip and the skin, to form plasma.

Therefore, the results are instant, but also no heat is transferred to the surrounding area which makes it safe for those sensitive areas like around your eyes. The resultant tissue retraction and tightening (as opposed to removal) gives results that are comparable to the ones seen with invasive surgery.

 

What shall I expect during the Plexr procedure?

During the treatment, visible smoke is produced as a result of the sublimation process. A crust on the treated area will then form and fall off in about a week and once fully healed there will be no visible scarring.

 

Will you need to repeat this treatment?

This depends on the severity of your case and desired result. The results are permanent, and you'll only need to repeat once the natural appearance of ageing occurs over time. The positive effects of treatment will be evident immediately after the first treatment, but the best results will be seen after 3 weeks and a further improvement in the following months. Depending on the area and problem treated and for maximum beneficial appearance, we may recommend further treatments.

​

In the Following Days After Your Treatment:

• It is normal for the area that has been treated to feel tight and dry. Occasional weeping will settle, tiny crusts will quickly form on the treated area. These may be visible for up to about a week. The crusts and/or scabs will become darker before the fall off.

• Do NOT pick crusts off as this will delay the healing process and could cause scarring.

• If washing your hair after treating areas on the face, we advise you do NOT stand with your face under a hot shower or direct water from shower head for the first 7 days. This could increase swelling. Try to avoid shower gels or hair products running on to your face as this could cause irritation. If water does get on the area treated, blot very gently with a clean cloth or towel.

• Shaving in the area treated should be avoided until it is fully healed.

• When the crusts have fallen off then your skin may be a little pink as it is fresh, new, and rejuvenated baby skin. This pinkness will fade over time in as little as 2 weeks up to a few months. In rare cases it may take up to 6 months.

• SPF 50 should be worn before going outside, even with 5 minutes of sun exposure, as well as overcast days. Indoor lighting can cause risk of pigmentation on new healing skin.
