Sagging or drooping eyelids are a common sign of ageing which is difficult to avoid. There are surgical options to help improve the appearance of your eyes but for those who wish to avoid surgery, our Handy Plasma non-surgical eyelift may be a great option.
Sagging eyelids and eye bags are a typical sign of ageing and unfortunately, there is not a lot we can do to stop them from appearing. The levator muscle is responsible for lifting the eyelid and when this begins to stretch, it can cause the skin around the eye to droop.
Our Handy Plasma non-surgical eyelift treatment is a new way to help improve the appearance of the loose eyelid skin and puffy eyelids without the downtime and costs from surgery. Patients with mild to moderate loose skin are the best candidates for this treatment, those with more significant drooping may require blepharoplasty treatment instead to get the best results.
The plasma treatment works by stimulating the contraction, shortening and tightening of skin fibres which then results in a tightening of the skin. The Handy Plasma non-surgical eyelift treatment is a powerful and effective alternative to surgical procedures such as blepharoplasty. This non-surgical treatment is often preferred by patients seeking less invasive procedures with reduced recovery time and none of the complications that can arise before and after surgery.
The non-surgical eye lifts treatment is able to remove the excess eyelid skin and tighten up wrinkles located around the eyes whilst being entirely non-invasive with no need for incisions, scalpels or stitches.
The treatment works best to lift or smooth the appearance of hooded, heavy or double eyelids and also to reduce eye bags and crow’s feet wrinkles.

What to Expect
The Private Clinic has been treating patients for over 40 years with thousands of people placing their trust in us each year. We pride ourselves on being able to offer a personalised service. We have a team of friendly nurses and expert surgeons who understand the importance of this decision and will support you throughout your journey with us.
Handy Plasma Non-Surgical Eyelift Treatment
Arriving at the clinic your face will first be cleansed before the local anaesthetic gel is applied to the treatment area. We allow up to an hour for the anaesthetic to take effect before starting plasma treatment. To perform our Handy Plasma non-surgical eyelift we use a Plexr® Plasma Pen device applicator which ionises the gas particles in the air between the device tip and your skin emitting a small electric arc. This creates a substance known as plasma which causes the target tissue to go from being solid to a gas state therefore instantly vaporizing the excess skin and tightening what remains leaving a carbon crust on the area. This process is known as “sublimation”. The plasma applicator is only applied to areas which are to be treated in a specific order and manner.
Plasma as a substance is very precise meaning it will not harm the surrounding skin and the small device head has a needle which never breaks the skin. It only has a 0.3 mm surface area, allowing the treatment to be very exact, delicate and capable of treating around and under the eyes. Immediately after treatment, you will notice small brown patches where the skin has been treated. During the healing phase, your skin will regenerate with more collagen and elastin density; thus giving you younger and tighter skin in place of what was removed.
After Your Non-Surgical Eyelift Treatment
You will notice an instant tightening of the skin immediately post-treatment however the best results are seen 3 weeks after your last treatment. We recommend 1-2 sessions however, this may vary from patient to patient. If extra sessions are required these would be spaced 4-6 weeks apart
Immediately after treatment, you will have small brown patches where you were treated and swelling. The swelling should disappear over 1-3 days but the brown patch known as the carbon crust can take up to 10 days to fully heal however after one week to 14 days this can be covered with make-up. Once the carbon crust has gone, the skin will be a little pink and sensitive so you will need to keep out of the sun and use sun protection.

FAQs
What is Nano Plasma non-surgical eyelift treatment?
Plasma is considered to be a fourth state of matter alongside solid, liquid and gas. It is created when gases in the air are ionised with the assistance of a specialised device which creates a small electrical arc to treat the problem areas without spreading any heat to surrounding areas of the skin.
How does Nano Plasma non-surgical eyelift treatment work?
As the specialised device is activated, it ionises gas particles in the air that are located between the tip of the device and your skin. This creates plasma which will then touch the surface of the skin causing the skin tissue to go from solid to gas which is known as sublimation. This causes an instant contraction and tightening of the skin fibres resulting in skin that is lifted, remodelled and rejuvenated.
Does Nano Plasma non-surgical eyelift treatment hurt?
Nano Plasma non-surgical eyelift can be uncomfortable which is why we allow time for patients to have local anaesthetic cream applied to the areas being treated for an hour ahead of treatment. Patients may feel heat and a small amount of discomfort due to the delicate area being treated. After the treatment, the skin will be sensitive and a little sore but painkillers will be able to resolve any discomfort.
How do I prepare for Nano Plasma non-surgical eyelift treatment?
We advise that patients do not apply make-up to the areas treated, wear contact lenses or fake eyelashes to their appointment. It is also best if you don’t have excessive sun exposure in the weeks leading up to your procedure as this could put you at risk of developing pigmentation. You will have a consultation ahead of your Nano Plasma non-surgical eyelift treatment where you will be fully informed about the treatment, how to prepare, what to expect and how to care for your skin post-procedure too.
How long does Nano Plasma non-surgical eyelift treatment take?
We allow 30 minutes ahead of Nano Plasma non-surgical eyelift treatment for local anaesthetic cream to be applied. The actual treatment time will depend on the number of areas being treated. Usually, we advise patients to allow 30-40 minutes.
How many Nano Plasma non-surgical eyelift treatments will I need?
Many patients see great results from just one Nano Plasma non-surgical eyelift treatment. We usually recommend 1-2 sessions however, this may vary from patient to patient. If extra sessions are required these would be spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
At your consultation, we will assess the degree of eyelid hooding and then advise you regarding the number of treatments required in order for you to achieve the best results.

What is the downtime after plasma treatment?
Everyone will react different to treatments but usually, straight after the treatment you will notice black or brown combustion points in the treated area which is known as the carbon crust. This will take 4-10 days to fully disappear and you must take care not too scratch, rub or pick the area treated to avoid risk of pigmentation to the area.
Post treatment the eyelids may also swell temporarily which can last for 48-72 hours. You can use anti-inflammatory tablets to help reduce the swelling.
You will be given lots of information on what to expect following Nano Plasma non-surgical eyelift at your free consultation, and on the day of treatment. Our 24-hour helpline is there should you feel worried or concerned at any time and you are welcome to come back for as many free follow up appointments as required.
How long do results after Nano Plasma non-surgical eyelift treatment last for?
Nano Plasma non-surgical eyelift is more than just a skin tightening treatment as skin is actually removed from the treated areas too. This means that the results and effects of treatment should last just as long as traditional blepharoplasty surgery.
Of course, the treatment will not stop the genetic ageing process of the face but to help maintain the results from the treatment we encourage patients to avoid lifestyle factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption and prolonged sun exposure to ensure that the results last as long as they can.
In order to maintain the results from Nano Plasma non-surgical eyelift treatment, maintenance treatments may be required anywhere from 12 months after the initial procedure.
Can I drive after Nano Plasma non-surgical eyelift treatment?
We would recommend that patients avoid driving for at least 24 hours following Nano Plasma non-surgical eyelift treatment. If you are still experiencing swelling after this time then it would be best to make other travel arrangements until this has settled. This is to ensure the safety of both yourself and others on the road, as always it is best to check your insurance documents to make sure that you are appropriately covered after having eye treatment.
Can I wear make-up after Nano Plasma non-surgical eyelift treatment?
We advise patients to avoid wearing make-up over the treated area for up a week or until the carbon crust has come away from the area. The area may still be a little sensitive so it may be best to use mineral based make-up to avoid any irritation. As always, take care to only apply make-up with a clean device and to carefully remove it without excessively rubbing the treated area.
Sun protection must also be worn over the area during this time.
Full aftercare advice will be provided to you following your treatment and should you have any questions or concerns our 24-hour helpline will be available to help.
When can I return to work after Nano Plasma non-surgical eyelift treatment?
Depending on what your job role is, we advise patients 1-2 days before returning to work, however, some choose to go back sooner. The treated areas will be swollen and have the dotted scab appearance but this can be concealed with make-up.
Is Nano Plasma non-surgical eyelift treatment safe?
The device we use to perform our Nano Plasma non-surgical eyelift treatment is called Plexr® which has full European CE approval. Nano Plasma non-surgical eyelift treatment should only be carried out by doctors or surgeons who have had special training.

General procedure
At your consultation, you will be able to discuss the treatment in detail with your doctor. During this time a review of the risks and complications associated with Nano Plasma non-surgical eyelift treatment will also be discussed to ensure you leave feeling well-informed.
Is Nano Plasma non-surgical eyelift better than Blepharoplasty surgery?
Blepharoplasty surgery is really effective at correcting the appearance of loose eyelid skin, eye bags and puffy eyelids in moderate to severe cases. Often classed as the gold standard treatment it is highly recommended for patients who want impressive results that will last for years to come after a few weeks of downtime.
Nano Plasma non-surgical eyelift is a soft surgical treatment that is a new way of tightening loose skin. It is an impressive alternative to surgery allowing for a more gentle correction of mild to moderate loose skin. There is minimal downtime and no scarring but some patients may require 2 to 3 sessions.
Which treatment is better would depend on the results you expect to achieve, the amount of time you wish to spend on having the treatment and how much downtime you can afford.
