Upper lip lift with Plexr in Montpellier

Work the skin above the lip for a limited modification of its appearance.

The times below are general estimates. The length of your appointment and your recovery instructions depend on the treatment area and the protocol selected.

What does the treatment involve?

Plexr acts on the surface of the skin above the mouth through small plasma points. It can be discussed for limited dermal retraction or some fine lines; it does not bring the volume of a gel and does not shorten the lip like a surgical lip lift.

Who is this treatment for?

Adults with a localized demand on the upper lip skin, often mature and finely wrinkled. A long lip, a lack of volume or a gingival smile may require another procedure. Phototype and history of herpes are essential.

How's the session going?

  1. The doctor observes the length of the lip, the teeth visible at rest and the smile. Alternatives are compared according to your request.
  2. The skin is prepared and anaesthetized. Plasma points are placed on the retained surface.
  3. The recovery instructions are given. The assessment is made after healing before considering another session.

How long do you expect?

Local treatment usually takes a few tens of minutes, plus anaesthetic preparation time.

Is it painful?

The area is sensitive: heat and tingling remain possible despite anesthesia. A feeling of tension may interfere at first.

What is recovery like, and is there any downtime?

The crusts above the mouth are visible for about a week. Redness and swelling may be prolonged; allow for a margin before an important occasion.

When will I see results?

The appearance begins to become clearer after the natural hair loss of the crusts and is re-evaluated over 1 to 3 months.

How long do the effects last?

Maintenance depends on the skin and the mobility of the mouth. There is no identical duration for all plasma recovery projects.

Before and after your appointment

Do not pull the crusts, do not apply makeup before authorization and protect the skin from the sun. Preventive treatment of herpes may be prescribed according to your history.

Precautions to be considered

Herpes, pigmentation disorders and scars are special hazards in this area. A significant recovery requires comparing other solutions.
