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.
