Anyone tried neogen/plasma pen for eyelids?

I’ve always had small hooded eyes but they are now droopier in my mid 40s. They’re not terrible but a bit saggy. I think I’ll eventually have an upper bleph but I’m not quite there yet.
I’ve seen some good before and after pictures from neogen and wondered if anyone else had tried it and got a result? I’m not expecting miracles but a slight lift would be good.

I would rather get an upper blepharoplasty from a trusted plastic surgeon than get plasma pens anywhere near my eyes. I think it looks dodgy and wouldn’t trust the practitioner. I’ve seen lots of horror stories of the dots still being visible months later. I got a blepharoplasty about 6 years ago and it was fairly minimally invasive and I had about 1 week’s downtime.

Yes I’ve seen a few dodgy results with the plasma fibroblast. Wouid also avoid the CO2 lasers for the same reason. I think the neogen uses different technology though and doesn’t burn the skin.
It’s the cost of the bleph that putting me off at the moment. It’s over 4K plus. I work in a school so would have to fit it around school hols. Was hoping for a simpler short term fix but maybe I should just bite the bullet!

You could travel to try and get the surgery cheaper. I only paid £1000 but I’m in Scotland, it was six years ago and I got a friends and family discount (I worked in the hospital that I got it done). I would imagine you could get it for around £2k in Scotland now. And yes you would need to do it over the school holidays. I took annual leave but you’re in the lucky position that you get long holidays!

I was so keen to try this a few years ago for the very same reason - but was worried about scarring - I’m prone to keloids. The practitioner tested it on my arm - took months and months for the dots to fade so there was no way I’d chance it on my face!!
