Plasma is considered the fourth state of matter distinct from solid, liquid, and gas. In aesthetic medicine, a controlled plasma arc is created by ionizing the gases in the air between the device tip and the skin surface. This releases a precise burst of energy that stimulates immediate tissue contraction and triggers the body’s natural regenerative response. The result is firmer, tighter, more youthful-looking skin without any cutting or suturing.

Most patients notice visible skin tightening within the first few weeks following treatment. Continued improvement occurs over 6–8 weeks as collagen and elastin remodelling progresses. Results from ablative and semi-ablative treatments can last up to a few years, depending on the area treated, lifestyle factors, and the natural ageing process. Non-ablative Shower treatments provide gradual, cumulative improvement with a series of sessions.

Surgical blepharoplasty involves incisions, general or local anaesthesia, sutures, and a recovery period of several weeks. Plexr achieves a comparable lifting and tightening effect on the upper and lower eyelids without any cutting. There is no stitching, no scarring, and no general anaesthesia required. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days, making it an attractive option for those who want meaningful results with significantly less disruption to their daily life.

A topical numbing cream is applied before ablative and semi-ablative procedures to maximise comfort during the session. Most patients describe a warm sensation or a mild snapping feeling. Non-ablative Shower treatments are generally very comfortable with little to no discomfort.

Following ablative treatments, tiny dark carbon crusts form at the treatment points this is a normal and expected part of the healing process. These typically resolve within 7–10 days and must not be picked or disturbed. Swelling and mild redness are common in the first 24–72 hours. Semi-ablative (Cat Resurfacing) treatments carry a 3–5 day recovery period. Non-ablative Shower treatments have virtually no downtime, with skin feeling similar to mild sun exposure.

Plexr is suitable for most skin types and a broad age range. Ideal candidates are those experiencing skin laxity, fine lines, hooded eyelids, acne scars, stretch marks, or benign skin irregularities such as moles or skin tags. A thorough consultation is conducted before any treatment to assess candidacy, discuss goals, and identify any contraindications.

This depends on the concern being addressed, the treatment option chosen, and individual skin response. Many patients achieve their desired outcome in 1–2 sessions for targeted areas. A series of Shower treatments is typically recommended for overall skin rejuvenation. Dr. Linda Yee will provide a personalised recommendation during your consultation.

Treatment sessions generally range from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas treated. This includes the time for numbing cream to take effect prior to the procedure.

The Plexr Shower is one of the most comfortable aesthetic treatments available. Most patients describe a gentle warmth or mild tingling sensation across the skin as the plasma energy is delivered. No numbing cream is required, and the overall experience is relaxing rather than uncomfortable. You can return to your normal day immediately after the session.

For your initial series, we recommend 3–4 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart. This allows your skin adequate time to produce new collagen between visits and achieve a meaningful reset. Once your initial results are established, maintenance appointments every 1–3 months are ideal for keeping your skin firm, radiant, and healthy. Some patients prefer monthly sessions as part of their regular skin-care routine, while others book seasonally both approaches work well.
