New Non-Surgical Option

One of the most requested aesthetic treatments is wrinkle reduction and tightening around the eyes and the excess of tissue of the upper eyelid. Now, patients who have sagging, droopy eyelids, wrinkles and puffiness need not resort to eye bag surgery (blepharoplasty) for a more youthful eye area.

Dr. Brian Biesman, Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon of Nashville Centre for Laser and Facial Surgery in Tennessee, U.S., offers a cosmetic combination to help patient reap maximum benefits from their treatment; blepharoplasty, Portrait® Plasma (a novel skin regeneration technology) and injectables such as Botox® and fillers.

“Blepharoplasty removes the excess tissue and skin, but Portrait® Plasma improves skin quality. It smoothes fine lines and treats both wrinkles and sun damage, which surgery alone cannot do,” Dr. Biesman told Medical News Today.

For patients who are not interested in (or good) candidates for surgery, Dr. Biesman recommends Portrait® Plasma as a stand-alone procedure. “For patients who have moderately droopy, loose, or wrinkled skin, surgery may not be the best option, but Portrait® Plasma may be”.

Portrait® Plasma harnesses the power of plasma to deliver dramatic skincare results without the risk or downtime associated with outdated laser procedures. The in-office procedure takes about 20 to 30 minutes for a full face or a targeted body treatment. Localised procedures around the eyes and mouth can be done in as little as 10 to 15 minutes.
