Will a J-Plasma treatment help my eyes look refreshed enough to avoid a blepharoplasty? (Photo)

It is always amusing to read comments on here when I believe the comments come from those who do not own or have never investigated the technology being asked about. J Plasma is new, J Plasma is revolutionary and will be one of the most important technologies introduced in the 21st century. It is NOT a superficial treatment and is similar to Deep Phenol Peeling and Deep Laser Skin rejuvenation whether erbium or laser. The results are specacular. The issue at hand is a somewhat long recovery period as it is not a superfical treatment. We are the first provider of J Plasma in the midwest and continue to be impressed by the unique technology.

Based on our experience, j plasma will give you a significant improvement. However, we usually do not recommend an eyelid only treatment due to lines of demarcation. It’s best to go for a personal consultation.

Thanks for sharing.  The aging eyelid composes of loose skin, prolapsing fat and possibly muscle.  Laser skin resurfacing whether it is J Plasma or Fraction CO2 will only treat mild loose skin.  A blepharoplasty addresses all of the variables contributing to the aging eyelid.  Discuss with several experienced board certified surgeons to review your candidacy. 

This will not remove excess skin and bags which is your problem. These "treatments" come and go and many people participate in the "learning curve". See an experienced blepharoplasty surgeon. The quality of the skin can be better improved after this with a phenol peel.

This is superficial ablative skin treatment.  The same level of injury is accomplished with a deep ablative fractionated laser treatment.  This treatment is getting hyped by the company that makes the device but there is no inherent advantage with the method.  It is unrealistic to expect that this treatment will accomplish something that is not currently available with other technologies.  Healing will be no faster with this treatment vs fractionated CO2.  The treatment ablated approximately 200 microns of skin.  This will actually be quite aggressive for the lower eyelid and likely to cause full thickness scaring of the eyelids.  I strongly advise you from rushing out to find this treatment.  Many of these new services have a complication curve that needs to be resolved with experience to actually produce a stable, safe treatment.  I personally think you would do better with a phenol chemical peel of the lower eyelid area.  Caveat emptor!
