Table 1. Surgical Blepharoplasty vs Non-Surgical Plasma/Laser
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?
