Non surgical eye lift – remove excess sagging skin on the eyelids.

Non-surgical eyelid lift in London – see how it removes wrinkles around the eyes

Are you interested in eyelid lift without surgery in London? Plexr eye lift is an innovative tool in aesthetic medicine with many applications. The main indications for the non-surgical blepharoplasty plasma device are upper and lower eyelid lifting (non-invasive blepharoplasty), lower face-lift, treatment of deep wrinkles around the eyes and around the mouth (so-called smoker’s lines), removal of lentigines and resistant hyperpigmentation, removal of skin lesions, such as angioma, flat warts, xanthelasma, seborrhoeic warts, fibromas, actinic keratosis, and treatment of scars and stretch marks. But first lets explore the options.

Surgical vs. Non-Surgical Eye Lift: What’s the Difference?

When comparing treatments, the primary distinction lies in how the “lift” is achieved:

Surgical Blepharoplasty: A plastic surgery procedure where a surgeon makes precise incisions to physically remove or reposition excess skin, muscle, and fat. It offers the most dramatic and long-lasting results (often 10–15 years).
Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty: This method uses energy-based devices—like plasma or laser—to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, causing the skin to contract and tighten through increased collagen production.

Do you use anti-ageing prophylaxis and perform treatments in aesthetic medicine that improve the quality of your skin, yet you still see that the drooping, hooded eyes cause your face to look ‘sad’, and the falling corners of the eyes add years to your appearance? Unfortunately, with time, natural ageing processes make us lose a youthful facial expression. In addition, many people who experience discomfort due to excess skin on the eyelids avoid surgical intervention due to fear of surgery or fear of possible complications and long-term recovery.

Non-ablative surgery – as the name of this technique suggests – does not use a scalpel or laser energy to remove excess skin, which eliminates many possible complications of such interventions.

At Aesthetic Medicine Clinic Eskulap London and Maple Cross Rickmansworth, the Plexr technique is used for double hooded eyelid correction and is defined as a dynamic method because it allows full control of the operator during the procedure. It makes it possible to observe the effects of the treatment in real-time. The operator may ask the patient to close and open their eyes during the procedure to observe the effects of their work. It is called the non-ablative technique because it is carried out without removing structural skin, without breaking the durability of the dermis and without removing excess fat.

The added benefit of doing the upper and lower eyelid lifting is the reduction of forehead wrinkles. After a saggy eyelid lifting, less excess skin presses down on the eyelids. It relieves tension on the forehead muscles that want to pull the skin up – causing the forehead to ‘work less’ and smooth out the wrinkles. Are you interested in non-surgical eye lift in London?

Plexr plasma without surgery for double hooded eyelid lift

How the procedure looks in our Beauty Clinic in London? Special preparation before is not required. Treatment will be preceded by a consultation with an aesthetic professional. The procedure consists of making small points on the surface of the skin with the plasma generated from the PLEXR device.

Each of these points causes sublimation (evaporation) of superficial corneocytes without damaging the basal layer of the dermis, without bleeding and most importantly, without causing damage and necrosis of the surrounding tissues. A typical procedure lasts less than 20 minutes, and spot scabs with a diameter of approx. 0.5 mm are visible for 4 to 7 days.

An important element of any therapy using an energy source is its safety aspect. In the case of PLEXR, the most important element was the development of a source of energy, provoking the creation of plasma so that the current does not flow either through the operator performing the procedure nor through the patient undergoing surgery.

The key here is the production of specific power frequencies of plasma bursts that are guarded by a patent. This is an extremely important step in the development of this type of technology and is an important aspect of the safety of therapy in patients who cannot be treated with devices that cause the flow of energy through their bodies. It is also important that when performing eye surgery, there is no possibility of nerve damage because no current is flowing through the patient.

What is plasma in the eyelid lifting treatment?

Plasma, due to its specific properties, is called the fourth (next to gas, liquid and solid) state of matter. During the operation of the microplasma beam on the patient’s skin, the external layers of the epidermis sublimate – and evaporate, which causes an improvement in skin tension in the treated area. The effect of this action is to shrink the excess sagging skin in the treated area, which in turn leads to reduced eyelids and wrinkles.

In contrast to other techniques, plasma used in PLEXR does not cause inflammation of surrounding tissues because its action is limited to the boundary of the basal layer. PLEXR does not cause bleeding and necrosis of surrounding tissues. These observations were confirmed in histological examinations of tissues treated with a PLEXR device. Thanks to this, PLEXR does not exclude patients from everyday activities – the foundation indicated by the doctor is enough to cover the treated areas during healing.

Researchers from the University of Medical Sciences in Rome in 2005 began working on the development of plasma microgenerator technology and its use in non-surgical upper and lower eyelid surgery – blepharoplasty and treatment of wrinkles resulting from sagging skin laxity in various areas. PLEXR appeared on the Italian market in 2010. Since then, mycoplasma technology has constantly been developed and improved under the guidance of professors from international medical universities.

As a result, a fully “mature” product has emerged that perfectly combines the effectiveness of treatment and safety, providing patients with optimal therapeutic effects without excluding them from everyday activities.

PLEXR is a plasma generator that produces controlled and targeted plasma energy thanks to the ionization of gases contained in the air. Plasma is created between the tip of the device and the skin of the patient thanks to the small electric arc, which, in a controlled way, can sublimate the skin and shrink and tighten the skin, which results in the reduction of droopy eyelids raised eyelids and the effect of a freshly opened eye look.

How do we conduct the non-surgical eye lift in London? What is the purpose of using PLEXR? We use it for such skin problems as:

Skin dyschromia
Blemishes
Hyperpigmentation, smoker wrinkles around the mouth
Acne scar correction.

Plexr is not only used during the lifting of the eyelids’ surgery but also for the correction of folds and wrinkles around the ear and mouth.

Over 5 years of clinical trials and observation of thousands of patients showed that by using this non-ablative technique, we can achieve the desired skin tone around the eye and consequently eliminate skin folds and mimic wrinkles.

PLEXR, as a non-ablative dynamic sublimation blepharoplasty, is a great alternative to traditional surgical methods, mainly due to the excellent aesthetic effects but also because of the patient’s comfort during the treatment and during the healing process. PLEXR gives optimal clinical effects. The procedure is simple and safe for patients, and – which is worth checking – leaves no traces of surgical intervention.

Plasma Eye Lift vs. Laser Eyelid Lift

If you aren’t ready for the “eye tuck cost” and recovery of surgery, you might be considering a non-surgical eye lift. The two main contenders are Plasma and Laser.

Plasma Eye Lift (Fibroblast/Plasma Pen)

The plasma eye lift (often using the PlexR device) uses a “plasma arc” to sublimate (turn from solid to gas) tiny dots of skin without touching the surface directly.

The “Ins”: Extremely precise; it targets only the top layers of the skin. It causes immediate contraction and immediate results after only one procedure. It’s best used to remove large amounts of sagging skin comparing to laser.
The “Outs”: It leaves tiny brown scabs (carbon crusts) that stay on the eyelids for about a week. It is best for medium to heavy skin laxity and “hooded eyes treatment.”

Laser Eyelid Lift (Fractional Laser)

A laser eyelid lift uses fractional CO2 or Erbium lasers to resurface the skin.

The “Ins”: Excellent for improving skin texture, fine lines, and crepey skin. It treats a broader area but superficially comparing to plasma. Therefore, laser eye lift is not suited to get rid of large lumps of excess skin.
The “Outs”: It may require multiple sessions and can involve more redness and “weeping” during the first 48 hours.

How does Plexr work? – Eyelid blepharoplasty without surgery.

The procedure consists of making small spots on the surface of the skin with the plasma generated from the PLEXR device, each at a distance of about 0.5 mm one from the other, allowing perfect plasticity in the movement of the eyelid during the procedure. Each of these points results in sublimation (evaporation) of superficial corneocytes without damaging the basal layer of the dermis, without bleeding and most importantly, without causing damage and necrosis of the surrounding tissues.

What is the best non-surgical eye lift?

There is no single “best” treatment; the choice depends on your specific facial characteristics. A surgeon will qualify you for a specific method based on the following:

Skin Laxity (The Pinch Test): If you have significant “draping” skin that folds over your eyelashes (severe hooding), surgical blepharoplasty is the gold standard. Non-surgical methods cannot remove such large amounts of excess skin. For mild to heavy skin laxity use PlexR plasma. For light skin tightening and resurfacing use Laser.
Fat Protrusion (Eye Bags): If your concern is bulging “eye bags” (fat pads), a lower eye bag removal surgery is usually required. Plasma and laser can tighten the skin but cannot eliminate the underlying fat.
Hollowness: If the area under your eyes is sunken, a surgeon may recommend dermal fillers or fat repositioning instead of a lift.
Ptosis vs. Hooding: If the eyelid muscle itself is weak (ptosis), you need surgical ptosis repair. If it’s just excess skin (hooding), a non-surgical eyelid lift may suffice.

Eyelid lift without surgery – Clinical results and patient trust

Over 5 years of clinical trials and observation of thousands of patients showed that by using Plexr non-ablative technique, we can achieve the desired skin tension around the eye and consequently eliminate skin folds and mimic wrinkles.

A typical procedure lasts less than 20 minutes and after the treatment scabs with a diameter of approx. 0.5 mm last for 4 to 7 days. The treatment of drooping eyelids can be performed 1 to 3 times at intervals of 120 days, depending on the severity of the problem. Clinical studies and observations of patients undergoing this therapy show that the therapeutic effect lasts from 2 up to 4 years.

How long does the result last after lifting the eyelids with Plexr?

The effect is visible immediately. Depending on the condition of the skin and individual patient characteristics, the effect lasts up to 2-4 years after the procedure. If there is a lot of sagging skin, treatment can be repeated 5 months after the first treatment.

After Plexr eyelid surgery

After the treatment, you can see swelling that lasts a few days, and the skin heals up to about 7-10 days after the procedure. During this time, the skin should be protected with a special foundation, which the patient gets in the clinic after the procedure. After a period of skin healing, it is still recommended to protect the treatment areas from sunlight.

Conclusion

Whether you choose non-surgical blepharoplasty or a traditional surgical route, a face-to-face consultation is vital. We will evaluate your anatomy to determine if a laser upper eyelid tightening or a surgical intervention will provide the “eye rejuvenation” you deserve.

Quality and Safety

For the sake of your safety and well-being, each treatment in the clinic is preceded by a consultation. During the consultation before the procedure, each patient must inform the doctor about all their current and past medical conditions, the medicines they are taking or receiving and the state of their health. During the first meeting, a treatment will be chosen especially to suit your needs. Consultation before the procedure will dispel all your doubts and fears.

F.A.Q

What is the difference between a surgical and non-surgical eyelid lift?

A surgical eyelid lift (blepharoplasty) involves incisions to remove excess skin and fat, whereas a non-surgical lift uses technology like plasma (PlexR) or lasers to tighten the skin through heat and contraction without scalpels or stitches.

How much does non-surgical blepharoplasty cost in the UK?

The non-surgical blepharoplasty cost in the UK typically ranges from £450 to £1,200 depending on the clinic and whether both upper and lower lids are treated. In comparison, laser upper eyelid tightening cost can vary between £500 and £1,500 per session.

Is a non-surgical eye lift permanent?

While the results are long-lasting (often 2–5 years), they are not as permanent as surgery. Because your skin continues to age naturally, maintenance treatments may be required. However, the skin tightening achieved through plasma sublimation is considered “permanent” in terms of the tissue removed.

How many sessions will I need?

Most patients see a significant improvement after just one session. However, for moderate sagging or hooded eyes, 2–3 sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart may be recommended to achieve the desired result.

What is the downtime for a plasma eye lift?

Expect 5–7 days of downtime. During this time, “carbon crusts” (tiny brown scabs) will form and fall off naturally. Swelling is common for the first 48–72 hours.

Can Botox help with saggy eyelids?

Botox can provide a subtle “chemical brow lift” by relaxing the muscles that pull the brow down, but it cannot remove excess skin. For true hooded eyelids, a plasma eye lift or surgery is more effective.

Is the procedure painful?

A strong topical numbing cream is applied 30–60 minutes before the treatment, making the procedure virtually painless. You may feel a slight warmth or tingling sensation.
