I have seen some awesome results for skin tightening on the internet from the Plasma Pen / Plasma BT. I see that it is used in Europe, Australia, and Canada (I think). Does the US have something similar, but named differently? Wondering why I can't find it here.
Answer: You appear to be an excellent candidate to cosmetically improve the appearance of your eyelids with an artistically performed Thank you for your question! Based on your photo but without an examination, you appear to be an excellent candidate to cosmetically improve the appearance of your eyelids with an artistically performed conservative upper lid blepharoplasty rather than any nonsurgical procedure. FDA approval, if and when, is unpredictable for any specific technology. Following the advice of anyone who would presume to tell you what to do based on a limited 2 dimensional photo without taking a full medical history, examining you, feeling and assessing your tissue tone, discussing your desired outcome and fully informing you about the pros and cons of each option would not be in your best interest. Find a plastic surgeon that you are comfortable with and one that you trust and listen to his or her advice. The surgeon should be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person. Best of luck!

Answer: Plasma pen alternatives Hi and welcome to our forum! The plasma pen emits an electric arc to create punctate burns in the skin extending into the dermis, stimulating collagen contraction. This same phenomenon occurs with laser eyelid tightening, which is available in the US. Set up a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with eyelid laser experience. Best wishes...
