Even the best skin care routine has its limits. As your skin ages, natural collagen and elastin production slow, causing your skin to lose firmness and elasticity. Over time, this leads to sagging, wrinkles, and crepey texture that topical products alone can’t correct.
For many patients, surgical options feel too aggressive, especially when complexion concerns are mild to moderate. The idea of incisions, anesthesia, and extended recovery can be overwhelming, even when loose skin and sagging jowls are becoming more noticeable.
At Advanced Eye Center in Hialeah, Florida, Rodrigo Belalcazar, MD, PLLC, offers an effective, nonsurgical alternative: Plexr® plasma therapy. This non-invasive treatment tightens and rejuvenates your skin by stimulating your body’s own repair processes, delivering visible improvement without surgery or significant downtime.
Here’s how Plexr can help you achieve the aesthetic results you’re looking for in less time and with less discomfort.
Plexr utilizes advanced plasma energy technology to target collagen and elastin, two proteins that form the basis of youthful, firm, resilient skin.
As you age, your skin produces less of these two important proteins, leaving your skin prone to sagging, laxity, and wrinkles. Years of sun exposure, smoking, and even stress also contribute to collagen and elastin breakdown.
Instead of simply masking age-related skin changes, Plexr uses tiny bursts of controlled plasma energy to target your skin’s underlying layers, jumpstarting collagen and elastin development to help your skin look and feel naturally firmer.
Each energy burst gently heats your skin, stimulating natural healing responses to rebuild your skin from the inside. Gentle heat also helps your skin contract, producing immediate results in addition to long-term benefits.
Since it’s not a surgical procedure, Plexr treatment doesn’t require general anesthesia, incisions, or sutures, making it an excellent choice for anyone who desires meaningful results without the risks or other downsides associated with surgery. Plus, stimulating your skin’s natural responses provides a subtler effect that builds over time.
At the beginning of your session, we cleanse your skin and apply a topical numbing cream to keep you comfortable throughout your treatment. Once your skin is prepared, we pass the Plexr device over the surface of your skin, delivering plasma energy in a controlled, methodical pattern.
Each burst of energy creates a tiny microinjury that stimulates healing. Plexr can be used on many areas of your body in addition to your face, with treatment times ranging from 20-60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment zone and other factors.
After treatment, you can expect mild redness and swelling, as well as tiny areas of superficial crusting at each targeted spot. These tiny marks are part of the healing process and should be left undisturbed as new skin forms.
We provide you with complete skin care instructions, but it’s important to gently cleanse the area during healing and avoid direct sun exposure during recovery. We’ll let you know when it’s OK to apply makeup, but using a gentle moisturizer and sunscreen is fine.
Over time, as those tiny crusted areas, or scabs, disappear, your skin gradually feels firmer and smoother as collagen and elastin networks are restored. Depending on your personal goals, you may benefit from a single treatment or a series of treatments spaced out over time.
If you’re tired of trying to hide lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin with makeup or clothing, Plexr offers an effective, nonsurgical way to fight back.
