FACIAL AESTHETICS IN PAPHOS
Dr Valentina Stavrou offers PLEXR non-surgical eyelid tightening at her Paphos practice. Her assessment combines an ophthalmologist’s understanding of eyelid anatomy and function with your concerns about appearance, helping you decide whether this approach suits your eyes and goals.
YOUR TREATING DOCTOR
Your eyelids do more than frame your eyes. Their position and movement matter to eye comfort, too. As an ophthalmologist, Dr Stavrou considers both appearance and function when assessing treatment.
You can discuss the changes you have noticed, what you would like to improve and any concerns about your eyes. The aim is a treatment plan that makes sense for you.
START WITH YOUR CONCERNS
You do not need to decide on a treatment before your consultation. Start with what you would like to improve.
PLEXR may be considered for selected cases of mild-to-moderate skin looseness. Your assessment looks at how much excess skin is present and the result you hope to achieve.
Selected lower eyelid skin concerns can also be discussed. Dr Stavrou assesses the skin and eyelid anatomy before recommending an approach.
PLEXR uses precisely applied plasma energy to vaporise tiny points of superficial eyelid skin, helping reduce excess skin without surgical incisions. Treatment focuses on the skin’s surface, with the aim of limiting effects on deeper tissue. As the area heals, the skin can gradually tighten.
YOUR APPOINTMENT
Discuss the changes that bother you, your medical history and any previous eyelid treatments. Dr Stavrou assesses your eyelids and explains what improvement may be realistic.
The practice uses PLEXR Plus. Plasma energy creates small treatment points on the skin surface, with tightening developing as the area heals. The proposed areas, expected effects and risks are discussed before you decide.
If treatment is suitable and you choose to proceed, you receive individual aftercare instructions. Discuss your work, social plans and questions about healing so you can plan your appointment.
RECOVERY & RESULTS
Dr Stavrou will guide you through what to expect after treatment and how to care for your skin, so you can plan comfortably around your routine.
Small crusts form at the treatment points. Swelling and redness can be visible, especially around the eyes. The small crusts often shed naturally within about 4–10 days.
The result develops gradually. Healing time and the degree of tightening vary, so discuss an important event or planned trip before booking treatment.
FAQ

No. Plasma treatment is a non-surgical option used for selected cases of mild-to-moderate eyelid skin laxity, while blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure used for more significant skin excess and structural eyelid changes.
When used by an appropriately trained physician and for the right patient, plasma treatment can be a suitable option for delicate eyelid skin. As with any procedure, proper assessment matters and potential risks include swelling, prolonged redness, pigment change, delayed healing, or scarring.
Small crusts form at the treatment points and usually shed over several days. Mild swelling and redness are common early on, especially around the eyes, and the skin then settles gradually over the following days to weeks.
Aftercare usually focuses on protecting the treated skin while it heals. Patients are advised not to rub or pick the crusts, to follow the post-treatment instructions carefully, and to avoid excess sun, heat, and other irritation during the early healing period.
Some change may be visible once the initial crusting and swelling settle, but improvement is usually more gradual as healing progresses. The final appearance is judged after the skin has had time to recover and tighten.
Sometimes one session is enough, but some patients benefit from more than one treatment depending on the degree of eyelid skin laxity and the result they want. This is best decided after assessment and follow-up.
PLEXR can be an option for selected patients with mild-to-moderate skin laxity. It does not provide the same correction as surgical blepharoplasty. Dr Stavrou explains the likely benefit and limitations for your eyelids, including when a surgical assessment may be more appropriate.
The cost depends on the areas being treated and the proposed treatment plan. Contact the practice on +357 26 930011 for consultation fees and information about treatment charges. Discuss the expected number of sessions and total cost before deciding.
