PlexR

PlexR treatment is a plasma device used to remove excess skin through a process called sublimation. The plexr handpiece creates a plasma arc which contracts skin surface area without damaging surrounding tissues. It is a precise and safe treatment and can be used in many different ways. Uses include skin tightening of the upper and lower eyelids if not suitable for surgery, active acne and acne scars and removal of benign skin lesions.

If you have some skin laxity or wrinkles that do not require surgery you may be a suitable candidate. It is suitable for acne treatment alongside a prescription skincare programme.

As soon as the crusts come away the skin looks much more refined and smooth. Results continue to improve for up to 10 months. At around 3 months you can see a tightening effect.

This is a treatment that needs consideration and planning around work and social commitments. You may need a few days off work due to the swelling and crusting.

PlexR prices start from £200 for removal of small skin lesion. Price is calculated on size of area treated.

PlexR results last 3-5 years ( as gradual ageing continues)

Swelling, crusting and redness are to be expected for up to 2 weeks. Redness directly in the treated areas can remain for up to 3 months. It can be easily concealed with make up.

Anywhere the skin is lax or lined.  PlexR can treat areas of active acne or acne scarring.

The area needs to be kept dry and a cream applied until the crusts come away naturally. If the eyelids are treated it is usual to have swelling. Ice and anti-inflammatory medications are recommended.
