Plexr

The Plexr method offers numerous advantages over traditional cosmetic surgery, contributing to its growing popularity. With no cutting of the skin, stitches are unnecessary, allowing most individuals to return to work on the same day. The procedure is notably quicker than surgery, eliminating the need for injectable anesthetics. Plasma, a recent innovation in the beauty industry, is employed by this highly precise instrument. It ionizes gas particles in the air between its tip and the skin, creating plasma through an electrical arc. This process, known as sublimation, turns a solid directly into gas, ensuring instant results without transferring heat to the surrounding area. The outcome is tissue retraction and tightening, comparable to the effects of invasive surgery.

Plexr offers a versatile range of therapeutic applications, effectively addressing various imperfections without the need for actual skin cutting. It can be employed for:

• Eyelid reconstruction (non-surgical blepharoplasty), addressing concerns such as baggy lower eyelids and excess upper eyelid skin
• Treating skin imperfections and benign lesions, including warts, fibromas, pigmentation, and sunspots.
• Enhancing the appearance of scars, such as post-surgery scars, acne scars, and stretch marks
• Removal of keloids
• Reduction of wrinkles, especially around the mouth
• Facelift and neck lift
• Active acne treatment
• Addressing vulvovaginal atrophy and vaginal dryness
• Non-surgical labiaplasty and wart removal
• Skin rejuvenation via Plexr Shower/microneedling or cat resurfacing
• Tattoo removal

PLEXR Shower is the nano-ablative application of Plexr, tailored for skin rejuvenation. It uses controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen and elastin production, leading to smoother, rejuvenated skin. It can even address acne scars and enlarged pores. This process induces an immediate skin-tightening effect while preparing the skin to absorb other treatments, such as hyaluronic acid-based products or PRP (platelet-rich plasma), for enhanced results.

PLEXR Cat Resurfacing is a semi-ablative procedure that resurfaces the skin in as little as 3 days. This technique gently targets fine lines and superficial skin imperfections by creating micro-injury dotted lines resembling cat scratches. This rejuvenates the skin with minimal downtime.

Plexr treatment goes beyond simple skin tightening, as it involves the removal of skin. Although the effects of surgical and cosmetic procedures are not entirely permanent due to aging, the positive outcomes of Plexr treatment are expected to endure for years rather than months. It’s important to note that factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and prolonged sun exposure may diminish the duration of these beneficial effects. Additionally, the longevity of results can be influenced by factors like race and genetics.

While Plexr is a non-invasive and generally safe treatment, patients may experience minor side effects in the first seven days after the procedure. Brown marks resembling minor scabs, known as carbon crusts, will appear and typically fall off after around five days, revealing new pink skin underneath. In some cases, swelling may occur, especially when treating eyelids, but this typically lasts no more than 3-5 days. Following the recommended aftercare regimen by Dr. Kahan is essential to prevent more severe side effects such as hyper or hypopigmentation.

Individuals seeking non-surgical solutions for skin tightening and rejuvenation, particularly around sensitive areas like the eyelids, are ideal candidates for Plexr. It can safely be used on all skin types. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should refrain from undergoing Plexr treatments

To expedite the cleaning of the treatment area, it is advisable to refrain from wearing makeup on the day of your Plexr treatment. The procedure typically lasts 10-40 minutes, depending on the size of the area. An anesthetic cream is applied and allowed to take effect for approximately 30 minutes prior to the treatment. During the procedure, you’ll experience tiny plasma flashes on the skin surface. The procedure is generally well-tolerated with minimal discomfort

Post-treatment, protect the area from sunlight and adhere to the aftercare instructions for optimal healing. Refrain from using exfoliating wash or cleanser for at least a week or until the treatment area has fully healed. Avoid disturbing the resultant carbon crusts by picking, scratching, or rubbing, as this can lead to hypopigmentation.

Results from Plexr are often noticeable immediately after the treatment, with further improvements developing over the subsequent weeks. For the most advantageous appearance, it is recommended to undergo three treatments at 4 to 6 week intervals.
