Rejuvenation of the eyelids by thermal ionisation technology

Abstract

The periorbital region has been always in the focus of aesthetic treatments as the ageing of this region of the face causes a sad and weary appearance. Treatments which give natural and fresh appearence are in the focus of today’s trend of aesthetics. Earlier, the possible rejuvenation treatment of the periorbital region was surgical (blepharoplasty) or laser assisted, or by injecting hialuronic acid fillers. Since 2009, a noninvasive plasma technology has provided a new, effective solution for dermatochalasis (skin redundancy of the upper eyelid). The thermal ionisation technology is a modern, medical procedure which can be used for removal of different tissues (skin, mucosa, soft tissue). General dermatologists remove benign lesions (fibroma, seborrhoic keratosis, xanthelasma, viral warts), aesthetic dermatologists make rejuvenation of the eyelids, treat scars, strias, pigmented lesions. The aim of our article was to present the efficacy and technology of the eyelids treatments and the adventages and disadvanteges of the procedures.
