Jett Plasma: A knife-free eye lift in a flash
Want to tighten up your eyelids, remove under eye bags and even diminish the look of crow’s feet? You can do all three with the simple, knife-free procedure that is Jett Plasma, something we offer at all our Skin Renewal branches in Pretoria – Brooklyn and Irene.
Eyes to the future
Back in the day, the only way to rejuvenate the eye area was to go under the knife for a traditional surgical blepharoplasty. Alas, this came with many risks. Fortunately, thanks to new innovations in aesthetic technology, you can benefit from a cutting-edge non-surgical solution – a Jett Plasma treatment.
Essentially an electrocautery machine, the Jett Plasma Lift Medical device relies on plasma technology to tighten up loose sagging skin in the delicate eye area. To understand how it works, here’s a quick science lesson: Plasma is a gas that’s been ionized via electricity. This means that enough energy was introduced to the gas so that some of its particles were given an electrical charge. This ionized gas can be directed to emit an intense flash of energy. When it comes into contact with your skin, it causes your existing collagen to immediately tighten. It also stimulates the production of new collagen. In short, it’s a double whammy of rejuvenation.
Easy breezy
Like so many of our non-surgical solutions, a Jett Plasma is a real in-and-out procedure. In fact, the most time consuming thing about the entire treatment will be the minutes you spend waiting for the topical anaesthetic to take effect. It’s worth the wait, however. This way, you won’t feel any pain, just a quick hot flash. In fact, many of our patients are surprised to learn that the Jeff Plasma device doesn’t even touch their skin. It merely gets close to it, emitting a high voltage charge from its delicate tip.
After your session, you’ll find the treated area might swell a little. For most people, this doesn’t stop them from resuming regular activity. However, if you’re one of the few who experiences significant swelling, you might want to stay home for about two days post-treatment. Once any swelling goes down, you’ll immediately notice an improvement to the treated area. Better yet, these results will only improve as your newly stimulated collagen supply begins to multiply.
At Skin Renewal, we generally use the Jett Plasma treatment as a great alternative to blepharoplasty. Still, it’s a real multi-tasker that can also zap away warts, moles, skin tags and small non-cancerous growths like seborrheic keratosis.
