Plasma Soft Surgery — Eyelid & Skin Tightening (Eliane)

Plasma soft surgery (Eliane) uses a fine plasma arc to treat small points on the skin's surface, tightening lax skin without cutting — most popularly for drooping upper eyelids and crêpey skin around the eyes. It is also used on the forehead, nasolabial area and for fine lines. A non-surgical alternative to a blepharoplasty-style result, it suits early laxity and is priced per zone with anaesthesia included.

Plasma soft surgery, offered here with the Eliane device, works by generating a tiny plasma arc that contacts the skin at a series of points without actually touching it, creating controlled micro-spots on the surface. This prompts immediate tightening of the treated skin and stimulates a longer-term firming and collagen response as the area heals. Its best-known use is on the eyelids — softening hooded or drooping upper eyelids and crêpey lower-eyelid skin — as a non-surgical alternative to a surgical eyelid lift, but it is also applied to the forehead, the lines above the upper lip, crow's feet and the nasolabial area. At Klinika Anna Pikura the procedure includes anaesthesia within the appointment time, as the treated points need numbing for comfort. Afterwards, tiny carbon crusts form at each spot; these must be left to fall away on their own over roughly a week, during which the area may look swollen — eyelid treatments in particular can cause noticeable puffiness for the first few days. Strict aftercare and sun protection are essential while the skin heals, and makeup is avoided over the points until they have cleared. Results become clearer as the skin settles over the following weeks, with continued firming as collagen develops. The treatment is well suited to adults with early to moderate skin laxity who want a non-surgical option and can accommodate the short healing period; suitability, skin type and any contraindications are assessed carefully beforehand, and it is avoided in pregnancy.
