Health Canada Approved · Non-Surgical · Minimal Downtime
Lift. Tighten. Renew.
Without Surgery.
Plexr plasma therapy delivers transformative skin rejuvenation from eyelid lifting to scar revision using the power of ionised plasma rather than a scalpel. Precise, effective, and designed for real results.
We are the 1st Optometry clinic in BC to offer Plexr Plasma treatments to patients!
Plasma Arc Technology
Ionised gas creates a precise micro-arc that acts only on the targeted tissue
Sublimation Not Heat
Skin cells convert directly from solid to gas with no thermal spread to surrounding areas
Natural Healing Response
The body initiates collagen and elastin production, improving results over 6–8 weeks
Health Canada Approved
Approved August 2021 one of 53+ countries worldwide to recognise Plexr
The Science
What Is Plexr Plasma Therapy?
Plasma is the fourth state of matter and one of the most powerful tools in modern aesthetic medicine. Plexr devices, designed and manufactured in Italy, harness the energy of ionised atmospheric gas to create a precision plasma arc between the device tip and the skin surface.
This arc does something remarkable: it causes the surface skin cells to undergo sublimation converting directly from solid to gas without transferring heat to surrounding tissue. The result is immediate fibre contraction, skin tightening, and the activation of the body’s own healing cascade to produce fresh collagen and elastin over the following weeks.
Unlike laser technology, which heats tissue through light absorption, plasma acts directly on the matter state of skin cells making it uniquely precise and controllable. Health Canada granted approval for Plexr in August 2021, making Canada one of more than 50 countries to recognise its safety and efficacy.
Two Pathways to Skin Renewal
Biostimulation
(Non-Invasive Energy)
The gentlest approach: low-level plasma energy activates fibroblast cells deep in the dermis to produce new collagen and elastin. No visible wound is created at the skin surface recovery feels similar to mild sun exposure and results accumulate gradually over 4–8 weeks.
Plexr Shower falls into this category, making it ideal for patients seeking skin rejuvenation with zero social downtime.
Tissue Regeneration
(Ablative Energy)
Higher energy levels create a controlled, precisely targeted wound that triggers the body's tissue repair process. Aged or damaged skin is replaced through the natural wound-healing cascade producing firmer, smoother, renewed skin with more dramatic and longer-lasting results.
Plexr Soft Surgery and Cat Resurfacing use this principle to achieve superior tightening and rejuvenation.
Treatment Options
Three Levels of Precision
Plexr is offered in three distinct treatment protocols, each targeting different depths of skin and suited to different concerns and downtime preferences.
Ablative
Plexr Soft Surgery
Maximum results · Most targeted
The flagship Plexr protocol. Tiny, precise plasma points are delivered to the skin surface, causing each targeted cell to sublimate instantly. The skin contracts and tightens immediately, while the healing response builds further improvement over the following weeks.
Best For
- • Upper & lower eyelid lifting
- • Sagging or lax skin
- • Acne scars & stretch marks
- • Moles, skin tags, milia
- • Smoker's lines & crepey skin
What to Expect
- • Numbing cream applied ~45 min before
- • Treatment time: 10–40 min per area
- • Carbon scabs resolve within 7–10 days
- • Mild swelling for the first 2–3 days
- • ~30–35% improvement per session
Downtime: 7–10 days
Semi-Ablative
Cat Resurfacing
Balanced results · Moderate recovery
The semi-ablative Cat Resurfacing protocol delivers fine plasma lines in a crosshatch pattern that stimulates deep elastin production. This approach provides meaningful skin tightening and resurfacing with a shorter recovery than full ablative treatment. Results appear immediately and continue developing over two months.
Best For
- • Full or mid-face resurfacing
- • Deep wrinkles & sagging areas
- • Replacing chemical peels or laser
- • Patients wanting faster recovery
Downtime: 3–5 days
Non-Ablative
Plexr Shower Facial
Zero downtime · Gradual renewal
Using a specialised triangular tip, the Shower treatment spreads plasma energy into thousands of nano-sized treatment points across the skin surface. These micro-openings allow active ingredients to penetrate more effectively, while simultaneously triggering collagen rebuilding from within. No scabbing. No peeling. Recovery feels like mild sun warmth. Perfect for active lifestyles.
Best For
- • Skin rejuvenation & radiance
- • Large pores & uneven texture
- • Fine lines & early laxity
- • Pigmentation & complexion tone
- • Replacing microneedling or fillers
What to Expect
- • Session time: ~30 minutes
- • No numbing cream required
- • Warm, relaxing sensation during treatment
- • Skin may appear lightly flushed — fades quickly
- • Instant glow visible after first session
Downtime: None
Long-Lasting Results, Often in a Single Session
Usually One Treatment
Most patients achieve their desired result in a single session. Because the treatment stimulates both immediate skin contraction and a sustained collagen-building response, a single ablative treatment is often all that's needed.
Exceptions: Very Lax Skin
In cases where the skin is significantly lax or the concern is more advanced, a second session may be recommended to reach the full desired outcome. Your practitioner will assess this during your consultation.
No Ongoing Maintenance Needed
Once you're happy with your result, there's nothing more required. Results from Plexr Soft Surgery typically last 2–5 years, and ongoing maintenance treatments are not necessary as long as you're satisfied with your look.
Comparable Results, Less Downtime
A Series of Sessions
Because Cat Resurfacing uses lower energy than the full ablative approach, approximately 3 sessions are typically needed to achieve a comparable outcome to a single Plexr Soft Surgery treatment.
Shorter Recovery Each Time
The trade-off is a significantly shorter recovery window 3–5 days per session compared to 7–10 days for ablative treatment. Ideal for patients who can't afford extended downtime but still want a meaningful result.
Gradual, Building Results
Each session builds on the last. Results are visible immediately after each treatment and continue to develop over the following 6–8 weeks as the skin's natural regeneration process runs its course.
Think of It as a Workout for Your Skin
Initial Series
Most patients achieve their best baseline results with 3–4 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart. This gives your skin time to build fresh collagen between visits and fully reset itself.
Ongoing Maintenance
Once your skin is glowing, a session every 1–3 months keeps the results going year-round. Some patients book seasonally; others treat it as a monthly skin-care ritual.
Long-Term Results
The benefits don't stop when you leave the clinic. Skin continues to regenerate between sessions, meaning results build cumulatively healthier, smoother, and more radiant over time.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
