A distinctive feature of plasmolifting, what it is, will become clear a little later, is that its action is based on the activation and restoration of the patient's own resources. After the procedure, the interaction of the regenerating, metabolic and immune systems occurs and without the penetration of foreign substances and antibodies into the body. And this eliminates the risk of allergic reactions and rejection of the introduced particles.
The essence of the rejuvenation technique
The blood plasma rejuvenation technique was developed by academics of plastic medicine and officially patented in 2003. Plasmolifting, as a PRP therapy method, has become popular quite recently in cosmetology. Initially, the technique was used to restore bone tissue, and its beneficial effect on the epidermis was discovered almost by accident and described by the developers of the method as a side effect. At the moment, plasma lifting is the only rejuvenation technique, after which there are no complications and which has no side effects.
The essence of the method lies in the introduction of plasma obtained from the patient's blood into the problem area of the skin. Facial plasmolifting begins with obtaining material for carrying out the procedures. Blood is drawn from a vein shortly before manipulation. Blood undergoes special processing, as a result of which red blood cells are separated from the plasma and removed from it. Then the material is enriched with collagen and elastin. All these manipulations take no more than 15 minutes to complete.
The cosmetic plasmogel obtained in such a simple way, after being injected under the skin, serves as a building material. The record number of platelets, collagen and fibrin contained in it helps replace obsolete fragments of the epidermis and stimulates the skin to create new cell chains, the production of fibroblasts and its own hyaluronic acid, which are responsible for rejuvenating and restoring the epidermis. Platelet-enriched plasma is used as a restorative material not only in cosmetology, but also in sports medicine, traumatology, and its effectiveness has been proven over time.
Indications for the procedure
The efficiency spectrum of plasma injections is very broad. This method of skin rejuvenation and restoration is used for problems such as:
- change in facial contours, loss of elasticity and volume of the cheeks;
- the appearance of deep wrinkles of a senile nature or resulting from facial features;
- increased pigmentation of the epidermis;
- decreased elasticity of the skin, including the eyelids, chin, neck and décolleté;
- the appearance of scars as a result of improper treatment of acne or after surgery.
To restore the skin of the body, after a change in weight or as a result of hormonal changes in the body, plasma laser lifting is often used, but the injection method of the procedure is not excluded. This technique is widely used to improve the condition of the hair and in dentistry - during implantation of implants and the treatment of gums.
Preparation for the procedure and the recovery period
No special preparation is required for the skin rejuvenation injection. Procedures such as plasma lifting or biorevitalization do not involve the use of anesthesia or keeping the patient in hospital. The surface of the skin, at the injection sites, is subjected to application anesthesia, which excludes the appearance of a painful reaction.
Plasmolifting, both before and after, does not cause any discomfort and does not affect the patient's normal rhythm of life. A slight swelling of the skin surface, which occurs in very rare cases at the injection sites, disappears after 2-3 hours.
To achieve the desired anti-aging effect, at least 4 procedures are required, the interval between which should be at least 7 days. The final result is influenced not so much by the skill of the cosmetologist as by the state of the client's skin at the time of treatment, his age and general health. During rejuvenation with the help of plasma lifting, it is recommended to exclude stressful conditions, alcohol consumption, smoking, to minimize the negative impact of the environment on the skin, and not to use decorative cosmetics that contain aggressive substances.
The positive effect is evident after the first course of injections. But in order to consolidate it and ensure a long period of validity, it is necessary to complete the entire course, recommended by a specialist, and strictly follow all the recommendations of him. Positive dynamics are observed within two years after plasmolifting, but only if the patient does not expose the skin to negative influences, for example, does not abuse the solarium, conducts supportive procedures and leads a healthy lifestyle.

- there are blood clotting disorders;
- at the time of the session there are progressive diseases of infectious etiology;

Estimated prices for plasma lifting
