Plasmolifting principle

The plasmolifting procedure consists in the introduction of several injections into problem areas on the skin, the composition of which is prepared from the patient's blood. First, the doctor takes blood from the patient's vein and uses a special device to separate it into components. Blood plasma containing a sufficient number of platelets is mixed with a special gel.

The gel is necessary for the retention of plasma in a certain area, in the future it is absorbed. By introducing a plasma composition under the skin, a certain reaction of the body occurs, the production of collagen and elastin proteins begins, which makes the skin more elastic and elastic.

Also, hyaluronic acid is naturally produced, which promotes cell regeneration. This process occurs in the body of every person, but with the help of the plasmolifting procedure, cell renewal occurs faster.

The effectiveness of the procedure

Depending on the state of health and characteristics of the organism, the effect of plasma lifting lasts from 9 months to 2 years, gradually dissolving during this period. During this time, the skin remains smooth, supple and firm. If the procedure is performed on the head in order to restore hair growth, then the sessions are carried out up to 10, face rejuvenation, in turn, occurs in 3-4 stages.

In case of termination of further actions to continue the course of rejuvenation, the skin returns to its original state, wrinkles in the places subjected to plasmolifting return.

Pros and cons

Plasma facial rejuvenation, reviews of which have flooded the Internet in recent years, has positive and negative sides, like any other procedure.

The intervention belongs to the autologous type, that is, the material for introduction under the skin is 90% natural and native to the patient.

This is the main plus, since there is no risk of rejection, as with the introduction of foreign substances (synthetic), the likelihood of allergies is also excluded. In addition, the rehabilitation period takes a maximum of a week, which allows you to order this method of rejuvenation by going on vacation.

The disadvantages include the fact that the procedure fights only with small, minor wrinkles and the effect is very short-lived.In some cases, the method must be repeated every 9 months, which is not affordable for everyone. But, despite the need to repeat the procedure, it is not addictive and the dose of plasma administration remains the same.

Contraindications

What devices are used in plasmolifting

To carry out the procedure for rejuvenating and correcting the skin with the help of plasma lifting, you need special equipment that works with different volumes and with different power. For example, the device Centrifuge EVA 20 is designed to process 8 tubes at once, with a capacity of 6000 rpm, it looks like a kitchen scale.

Another apparatus Centrifuge CM - 12 processes 12 tubes at the same time, but with lower power, only 4000 rpm, its price is 3 times less, in terms of volume and shape it looks like a multicooker. Other equipment includes a sterilizer and vacuum tubes with a special gel that separates the blood.

Devices are bought by private clinics, but if you wish, you can install a similar thing at home, and carry out plasma lifting at home.

Preparing for the intervention

Facial rejuvenation with plasma injections requires the patient to undergo a preliminary medical examination to exclude oncology at any stage, infection and other diseases in which the procedure is contraindicated. According to former clients, it does not take much time and money. Further, the applicant is given time to prepare.

Within 3-4 days, it is necessary to exclude alcohol, fatty and spicy foods and drugs that prevent the formation of platelets from the diet.

On the day of the procedure itself, you should refrain from eating at all, and drink only water in large quantities until the correction is completed. The patient is obliged to wash off all the makeup from her face and wash her face with soap, so that even the tonic or cream with which the makeup was removed is destroyed from the surface of the face.

Procedure

After final preparation, venous blood is taken from the patient and placed in a centrifuge. In the apparatus, it is divided into components and anticoagulants are added to the working part to prevent blood clotting. When the composition is ready, the patient lies down in a horizontal position for easy injection.

Further, it is necessary to carry out anesthesia with a freezing gel that covers the face, while the person remains conscious, but does not feel pain from the injections.

Anesthesia is done at will, its price is not included in the cost of the procedure. Then the doctor takes a thick syringe and injects the necessary plasma composition alternately into each agreed problem area. The whole process takes about 1 hour, this is the duration of 1 session.

The rehabilitation period, how is the healing going

When plasma is injected under the skin, a thick needle is used that can pass the thick gel. After it, traces remain on the face in the form of red dots, which disappear by themselves within 2-3 days. If the doctor did not touch the vessel, then you can do without the hematoma, if not, and the hematoma appeared, it also dissolves naturally.

You should not use healing agents so as not to dissolve the plasma itself under the skin. During the first week, the area under which the plasma gel was injected looks like plasticine when pressed, leaving a dent.

This is a gel and it is felt under the skin until it dissolves, which takes 7-12 days. The procedure does not affect the general state of health if the sanitary standards were observed, and there was no infection.

Recommendations for facial skin care after plasma rejuvenation

During the rehabilitation period, during the first few days, it is not recommended to use cosmetics in the form of foundation, powder and regular creams. If the procedure did not touch the lips and eyes, then it is allowed to use lipstick and eye cosmetics, the point is not to irritate the damaged areas on the skin from injections.

Also, on the day after the procedure, you should not do a facial massage, use a scrub, do peeling and face masks. During the week, you cannot visit the sauna, bathhouse and solarium, and it is also not recommended to stay in direct sunlight.

For this reason, some patients prefer to do the procedure in winter, the cold has a positive effect on the skin as a whole and during the day you can not hide in the apartment from the sun.

Effects

If the rejuvenation procedure was carried out by qualified personnel, then the maximum inconvenience after plasma lifting that the patient experiences is a slight swelling, which disappears until the end of the day. Injection marks disappear by themselves after 2-3 days. If the patient falls into the wrong hands, then different consequences are possible.

For example, if the needle was held at the wrong angle, it could pass into the deeper layers of the skin, after which severe bruising is possible that lasts longer than a week. If sanitary standards have not been observed, then blood poisoning, hepatitis and other serious diseases transmitted through the blood are possible.

This usually happens due to the repeated use of syringes. Also, unforeseen circumstances are possible in the form of an allergy to the metal of the needle, anesthesia, the consequence of this may be the formation of abscesses in the area of ​​the needle entry. Allergy to anticoagulants is identified before the procedure, so it is excluded.

Plasma facial rejuvenation, reviews of which often refer to the effectiveness of treating problem skin, is also performed to get rid of extensive acne and post-acne.

In this case, the condition may worsen for 2 weeks, followed by inflammation. However, this effect subsides over time by itself, remission occurs and the expected result is obtained.

Is it possible to do plasma lifting at home

Plasmolifting is possible only with special equipment that separates blood into components. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the sanitary standards, which should be the default in the doctor's room.

Without these requirements, the procedure may be unsafe, therefore it is not recommended to perform rejuvenation outside the doctor's office, but from a practical point of view, the procedure is possible at home.

Advantages over other methods of facial rejuvenation

Unlike synthetic types of rejuvenation, when foreign drugs and substances are injected under the skin that cause irritation or rejection with all kinds of consequences, plasmolifting, today, occupies a leading position in safety.

Even the introduction of hyaluronic acid, which dissolves over time, has a number of side effects, such as itching, swelling and difficult engraftment due to the use of a poor-quality drug. During plasmolifting, no foreign substances are introduced into the body, which would cause rejection, inflammation and a long period of rehabilitation.

What techniques can be combined with plasmolifting

Plasma facial rejuvenation, reviews of which often appear on forums dedicated to the fight against age-related changes, has no further contraindications for any skin care techniques.

After the required healing period, the patient can additionally use massages, peeling, masks, use a scrub, and so on. Plasma lifting does not make the skin vulnerable, on the contrary, it becomes more elastic and durable.

How many sessions are required to achieve the effect

Depending on the patient's age, the ability of his body to quickly recover and susceptibility to plasma-lifting, 2-4 procedures may be required with a period of 2-3 weeks - so much time is required for the gel to dissolve and the skin to completely recover from injections. For the treatment of alopecia, it may take up to 10 sessions.

The cost of a plasma lifting session in Moscow, St. Petersburg

Plasmolifting prices in Moscow and St. Petersburg are shown in the table using the example of some clinics. All prices are indicated for 1 tube, that is, 1 injection, except for those options where the price is indicated for the full procedure of the entire zone. At the same time, the cost does not include anesthesia and a doctor's consultation.

Facial rejuvenation with plasma injections is the only option for some patients with sensitive skin. According to reviews of those who have previously tried other methods of injection corrections, the main concern is the risk of inflammation, facial deformation and allergies.

In the case of plasmolifting, no irreversible negative processes associated with the procedure have yet been recorded, which means that we can safely say that plasma correction is the safest method of rejuvenation today.
