Plexr Pricing at Arbour Longevity

Plexr treatment costs vary by area and complexity:

Treatment AreaEstimated Price Range
Upper eyelids (both)$800 - $1,500
Lower eyelids (both)$800 - $1,500
Upper and lower eyelids$1,500 - $2,500
Crow's feet$500 - $1,000
Upper lip lines$400 - $800
Neck tightening$1,000 - $2,000
Scar treatment (per session)$300 - $800

Compare that with surgical blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), which often costs $3,000 to $6,000 or more in Michigan. Plexr costs far less, has little downtime and carries no surgical risks.

What Drives Your Number Up or Down

Two people can book the same area and get different quotes. Five things explain almost all of the gap:

  1. Surface area treated. Plasma is applied as a grid of single points. A larger or denser area takes more device time, and price follows time.
  2. Depth and protocol intensity. A light, zero-downtime refresh is not priced the same as a deeper dot-based lift on the eyelid. How deep we go, not just where, sets the band.
  3. Number of sessions your skin needs. Mild laxity (loose skin) often resolves in one well-planned session. Deeper texture change, scars and stretch marks are treated in stages.
  4. Whether areas are combined in one visit. Upper and lower eyelids treated together are priced as one area ($1,500 - $2,500), not as two treatments. It is one setup, one numbing period and one recovery.
  5. Whether you are maintaining or correcting. Maintenance sessions on treated skin are lighter and shorter than the first correction.

How a Full Course Is Priced, Visit by Visit

Most people want the total, not the per-session figure. Here is how a course comes together.

Four-step Plexr course pricing: $35 consultation, corrective session, refinement at 8–12 weeks, maintenance membership
A Plexr course assembles visit by visit: $35 consultation, the corrective session, refinement at 8–12 weeks, then maintenance.

Visit 1: Consultation, $35

Your first visit is $35, and the fee is applied toward your treatment. At this visit you get:

  • A skin assessment, with photos for your record.
  • A review of your Fitzpatrick skin type (skin-tone scale) and how you heal.
  • Which protocol we suggest.
  • A written plan with the price attached, before you commit to anything.

If Plexr is not the right treatment for you, you will be told so at this visit.

Visit 2: The corrective session

This session does the main work and carries the main cost from the table above. For eyelids, most patients need a single planned session. For scars and stretch marks, expect the first of two to four.

Visit 3 and beyond: Refinement

Refinement sessions are booked 8 to 12 weeks apart so each result can fully develop first. Not everyone needs one. When a second eyelid session is advised, it is planned at the 8 to 12 week mark rather than sold up front.

Ongoing: Maintenance

Natural aging goes on after treatment, so results are held rather than frozen. Many patients maintain with a lighter plasma session on a planned schedule. Our Gold membership ($399/month) includes a monthly Plexr Shower session at a lower member rate. It comes with an add-on of a topical growth-factor serum applied to the skin surface. For anyone who plans to treat often, this is usually the lowest cost per session.

Where Branded Protocol Pricing Sits

Alongside the per-area pricing above, Arbour publishes flat pricing for its branded plasma protocols. Plasma Soft Surgery protocols are priced per session:

  • Rockstar Treatment (plasma with a topical growth-factor serum, zero downtime): $750/session.
  • GlassLIFT (flagship ERA protocol): $1,100/session.
  • Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty: $1,999/session.
  • CAT Resurfacing (full face): pricing is discussed at your first visit.

Which of these fits you is a clinical call, not a budget call. We break the choice down in which Plexr plasma protocol is right for you. For more on GlassLIFT, see our guide to GlassLIFT.

Cost Compared With the Alternatives

OptionTypical investmentWhat you also spend
Plexr eyelid treatment$800 - $2,500 depending on area5-7 days of visible crusting, no time under anesthesia
Surgical blepharoplasty (Michigan)$3,000 - $6,000 or more2-4 weeks of recovery, anesthesia and facility fees
Consumer plasma pen (unregulated)Low up-frontNo clinical validation, no standardized protocol, correction costs

The cheapest plasma treatment is almost never the least expensive one. Fixing a poorly done plasma result costs more than doing it once on an FDA-cleared, medical-grade device.

Comparison of Plexr eyelid treatment, Michigan surgical blepharoplasty and consumer plasma pens on cost and recovery
Plexr eyelid treatment runs $800–$2,500 with 5–7 days of crusting; surgical blepharoplasty $3,000–$6,000+ with 2–4 weeks of recovery.

Is the Investment Supported by Evidence?

Price only means something if the treatment works. Plasma radiofrequency ablation (using plasma energy to remove a thin top layer of skin) was studied for non-surgical blepharoplasty. All patients tolerated it well, with no adverse effects and optimal aesthetic results. The authors concluded that plasma energy devices could offer an effective option instead of eyelid surgery (Skin Research and Technology; Baroni, 2019; PMID 31535742).

A 2025 prospective clinical trial (one that follows patients forward in time) tested microplasma for upper eyelid dermatochalasis (loose, sagging eyelid skin). It found statistically significant improvement on both the Dermatochalasis Scale and the Global Aesthetics Improvement Scale. No serious adverse events were reported (Journal of Drugs in Dermatology; Hsu, 2025).

A review of plasma skin regeneration looked at treated skin under the microscope. It found that plasma drives ongoing collagen (the protein that keeps skin firm) production and reduces elastosis (sun-damaged elastic tissue). Skin renewal kept going beyond one year after treatment, with an excellent safety profile (Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology; Foster, Moy & Fincher, 2008; PMID 18789051). That staying power is why the cost per year of a plasma result compares well with treatments that need topping up every few months.

Frequently Asked Questions About Plexr Cost

Why is there a price range rather than one price?

Because the area treated, the density of the plasma grid and how intense the protocol is all vary by person. The range above is the honest band. Your exact figure is confirmed in writing at your $35 first visit before any treatment starts.

Is Plexr cheaper than surgery overall?

For mild to moderate eyelid hooding, yes, and by a wide margin. Surgical blepharoplasty in Michigan often runs $3,000 to $6,000 or more before anesthesia and facility costs, with 2 to 4 weeks of recovery. Plexr eyelid treatment sits between $800 and $2,500 depending on area, with 5 to 7 days of visible crusting.

Do I pay for the whole course up front?

No. Sessions are booked and paid one at a time, spaced 8 to 12 weeks apart so each result can develop first. If you plan on ongoing maintenance, the Gold membership at $399/month often costs less over time.

Is the $35 consultation fee refunded?

It is applied toward the cost of your treatment, so it is not an extra charge if you go ahead.

Does skin tone change the price?

No. Plexr Plus is documented as safe across all six Fitzpatrick skin types, and we treat every skin tone year-round. Deeper skin tones get protocol changes and slower titration (stepping up the settings gradually) as a matter of clinical technique, at no difference in cost.

Which areas give the best value?

The eyelids, every time. It is the plasma use with the most clinical evidence, the results are long-lasting, and the price gap against surgery is the widest of any area we treat.
