Plexr Device

Age-related eyelid laxity, fine wrinkles, and reduced skin elasticity are among the aesthetic concerns experienced by many individuals. Among the technologies that can be applied without the need for surgery, the Plexr device aims to support a controlled skin renewal process by utilizing plasma energy. Particularly recognized for applications in the eyelid area, Plexr can also be considered for various other skin concerns. Medical Aesthetics Physician Dr. Lida Çiteli continues to provide Plexr treatments at her clinic in Istanbul, creating an individualized treatment plan for each patient based on a comprehensive clinical evaluation.

How are Plexr treatments planned, in which areas can they be used, and what can be expected during the recovery period?

Here are all the details you need to know about Plexr...

What Is the Plexr Device?

Plexr is one of the medical aesthetic technologies that generates plasma energy through the ionization of gases in the air. The device operates without direct contact with the skin, and the plasma energy produced during treatment is intended to create a controlled micro-effect on targeted areas of the skin surface. As a result of this controlled effect, the skin's natural renewal mechanisms are supported, with the goal of achieving a firmer appearance over time.

Unlike laser or radiofrequency systems, Plexr works through a different mechanism of action and is considered among the options for individuals who prefer non-surgical treatments instead of surgical procedures.

How Does the Plexr Device Work?

The Plexr system performs treatment by utilizing the plasma energy generated between the device tip and the skin. This controlled energy creates a microscopic effect on the outermost layer of the skin while aiming to support collagen and elastin production in the underlying tissues.

During the procedure, surrounding tissues are intended to be preserved as much as possible, while the treatment plan is developed entirely according to the individual's skin characteristics, expectations, and physician evaluation.

In Which Areas Can Plexr Be Applied?

Plexr technology can be used in various areas to address different aesthetic concerns.

Around the Eyes

• The appearance of upper eyelid sagging
• Changes associated with decreased skin elasticity of the lower eyelids
• Fine lines around the eyes, commonly known as crow's feet

Facial Area

• Fine lines above the upper lip
• Forehead and expression lines
• Skin laxity in the neck area

Skin Surface

• Acne scars
• Certain superficial scars
• Benign skin lesions considered appropriate following physician evaluation.

The areas suitable for treatment are determined according to the individual's skin characteristics and clinical assessment.

How Is Plexr Treatment Performed?

Before the procedure, the treatment area is evaluated, and if necessary, a topical anesthetic cream is applied to improve comfort.

Point-by-point applications are then performed on the targeted area using the Plexr device. Although the duration varies depending on the treatment area, the procedure is generally completed within 15 to 30 minutes.

Who May Be Suitable for Plexr?

Plexr treatment may be planned following physician evaluation for individuals who:

• Are bothered by mild to moderate eyelid laxity,
• Do not wish to undergo surgery,
• Seek to support skin firmness,
• Would like to reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles.

Since every individual's skin structure and needs are different, suitability for treatment is determined after a medical examination.

What Should Be Considered After Plexr Treatment?

Following the procedure, paying attention to certain recommendations may help support a healthy recovery process.

• The small crusts that develop after treatment should not be removed until they fall off naturally.
• The treated area should be protected from sunlight, and physician-recommended sunscreen products should be used.
• Cosmetic procedures that may irritate the treated area may need to be avoided for a certain period.
• The skincare products recommended by the physician should be used regularly.
• Crusting and mild redness can generally be considered a natural part of the healing process.

How Many Plexr Sessions May Be Required?

The number of sessions may vary depending on factors such as:

• Skin elasticity,
• The treatment area,
• The severity of the skin concern,
• Age,
• The individual's expectations. The most appropriate treatment plan is developed individually by the physician.

What Are the Advantages of the Plexr Device?
