Blepharoplasty– Nano Plasma
Many people are affected by excess or loose skin on their eyelids and around the eye area, which can give an “aged” and “tired” look and can even cause vision disturbance. However, many patients avoid undergoing a surgical blepharoplasty due to the fear and risk of possible complications, anaesthesia and cost. Plasma has really revolutionised the treatment options for patients seeking this procedure.

The moment you cut your skin, all you see is blood – those are red blood cells. After the bleeding stops, you’ll see a yellow bit “gluing” your skin together and that is our wonderful plasma.
During the infamous Vampire Treatment, Platelet Rich Plasma containing: platelets, minerals, vitamins and growth factors is used for the healing response to the damaged tissue which occurred either through the ageing process or any recent mechanical injuries / scars.
Platelet Rich Plasma injections improve your skin texture, colour, increases fibrin and collagen growth. The skin looks fresher, youthful and glowing.
After injection, plasma will be absorbed within 3 days. During this time you should not expose your skin to any strong chemicals. Over the next 3 to 6 weeks stem cells will work in your skin continuing visible repair and healing.
The process ensures visible results from one to one and a half years depending on your lifestyle. Repeated procedures will lay additional processes of growing collagen, fibrin and elastin on top of the first process. That ensures even better results.
The Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Procedure
After determining that the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment is right for you, a small amount of your blood will be drawn, similar to having basic blood tests at your doctor’s office. This will then be used to prepare the PRP in a 15 minute process. During that time, the areas to be treated will be cleansed and prepared for the procedure.
Once this is done, the platelet rich plasma (PRP) is injected into the skin to be treated. Serum received from poor platelet plasma (PPR) are then applied to these areas. The entire process typically takes no more than 35-45 minutes.
Effects decrease in heavy smokers or alcohol use.
Avoid the treatment if you have the following :
- Skin Disorders – eg. SLE, Porphyria
- Cancer
- Chemotherapy
- Any severe metabolic or systemic disorders
- Haemathological disorder, especially abnormal platelet counts or function
- Anti-coagulation therapy
- Any drugs or therapy resulting in immune suppression
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Steroid therapy
- Ongoing infection

Frequently Asked Questions
Professional Insight...
Described by The Daily Mail as “the most effective treatment for youthful eyes”, the dynamic non-surgical blepharoplasty, utilising cathodic and anodic plasma energy is not only the safest treatment for this procedure, but has become the choice of patients and professionals alike.
This procedure is defined as “non-surgical” because it’s performed without incision, cutting, stitching, bruising or surgical fat removal and without altering the orbicularis muscle in the eyelids, which minimises the complications significantly.
Non-surgical blepharoplasty with the new Nano Plasma method is a safe treatment, which only requires local anaesthesia, does not require hospitalisation and does not cause complications.
The aesthetic result is very satisfying: the patient confirms a remarkable reduction of the dermatochalasis and the histological test results show collagen stimulation. Nano Plasma could be a remodelling treatment of great interest for non-ablative surgery.
