NeoGEN Plasma vs Traditional Eye Lifts: Which Is Right for You?
Tired of looking tired—even when you’re well-rested? As we age, the eyes are one of the first areas to show signs of fatigue, sagging, and thinning skin. For many, the solution comes down to two powerful options: NeoGEN Plasma or a traditional eyelid lift (blepharoplasty).
At Lasting Impressions Medical Spa in Fair Lawn, NJ, we help you decide what’s best based on your lifestyle, goals, and comfort level with surgery. Here’s how these two options compare—and how to know which is right for you.
What Is NeoGEN Plasma?
NeoGEN Plasma is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses plasma energy to rejuvenate and tighten the skin around the eyes. It’s FDA-approved and backed by clinical research for stimulating collagen and elastin—two things we lose as we age.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
- Delivers controlled plasma energy to skin tissue
- Stimulates natural regeneration (without cutting or needles)
- Tightens loose eyelid skin
- Smooths under-eye wrinkles and crepey texture
- Improves tone, texture, and pigment
Downtime: Minimal (2–5 days of redness or dryness).
Best For: Mild to moderate sagging, fine lines, or aging skin around the eyes
What is a Traditional Eyelid Lift?
A surgical eyelid lift, or blepharoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin, fat, or muscle from the upper and/or lower eyelids.
How It Works
- Small incision is made in the natural eyelid crease
- Fat or skin is removed or repositioned
- Incision is closed with sutures
- Requires anesthesia and downtime
Downtime: 1–2 weeks
Best For: Severe sagging or hooded lids, significant under-eye bags.
