In order to maintain objectivity, you should consider the service from different angles and compare it with other methods of rejuvenation by injection.

Plasmolifting principle

The procedure of plasmolifting is 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, using a special device, divides it into components. Blood plasma containing a sufficient number of platelets is mixed with a special gel.

The gel is needed to hold the plasma in a specific 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 protein begins, making the skin more elastic and elastic.

Hyaluronic acid, which promotes cell regeneration, also begins to be produced naturally. This process occurs in the body of every person, but with the help of the plasma lifting procedure, cell renewal is faster.

Procedure Efficiency

Depending on the state of health and the characteristics of the body, the effect of plasmolifting lasts from 9 months to 2 years, gradually dissolving during this period. During this time, the skin remains smooth, supple and supple. If the procedure is performed on the head in order to resume 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 rejuvenation course, the skin returns to its original state, wrinkles in the places subjected to plasmolifting are returned.

Advantages and disadvantages

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

Intervention is an autologous type, that is, the material for administration under the skin is 90% natural and native to the patient.

This is the main plus, since there is no risk for 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, going on vacation.

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

Another centrifuge apparatus SM – 12 processes 12 test tubes simultaneously, but with less power, only 4000 revolutions per minute, its price is 3 times less, it looks like a multicooker in volume and shape. Other equipment includes a sterilizer and vacuum tubes with a special gel that separates 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.

Preparation for the intervention

Facial rejuvenation by plasma injection 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 reviews of former customers, this 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 platelet formation from the diet.

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

Procedure

After the 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, which prevent blood coagulation. When the composition is ready, the patient lies down in a horizontal position for ease of injection.

Further, it is necessary to anesthetize with the help of a freezing gel, which covers the face, while the person remains conscious, but does not feel pain from 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 introduces the necessary plasma composition in turn at each agreed problem place. The whole process takes about 1 hour, this is the duration of 1 session.

The rehabilitation period, how the healing goes

With the introduction of plasma under the skin, a thick needle is used that can pass a thick gel. After it there are traces on the face in the form of red dots, which pass by themselves within 2-3 days. If the doctor has not touched the vessel, then you can do without a hematoma, if not, and the hematoma appeared, it also resolves 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.

It is a gel, and it is felt under the skin until it dissolves, it takes 7-12 days. The procedure does not affect the general state of health if sanitary standards were observed, and infection was introduced.

Recommendations for 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 cosmetics for the eyes, the point is not to irritate damaged places on the skin from injections.

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

Some patients, for this reason, 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 plasmoliftinag, which the patient is experiencing, is a small swelling that goes on until the end of the day. Traces of injections disappear by themselves in 2-3 days. If the patient falls into the wrong hands, then various consequences are possible.

For example, if the needle was held at the wrong angle, it could go into the deeper layers of the skin, after which serious bruises are possible that go away longer than a week. If sanitary standards were not followed, then blood poisoning, the acquisition of hepatitis and other serious diseases transmitted through the blood are possible.

This usually happens due to reuse of syringes. Unforeseen circumstances are also possible in the form of an allergy to the metal of the needle, anesthesia, a consequence of this may be the formation of ulcers in the area of needle insertion. An allergy to anticoagulants is clarified before the procedure, therefore it is excluded.

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

In this case, the condition may worsen for 2 weeks with subsequent inflammation. However, this effect decreases over time by itself, there comes a remission and obtaining the expected result.

Is it possible to do plasmolifting at home

Plasma lifting is possible only with special equipment that separates the blood into components. In addition, it is necessary to take into account sanitary standards, which should be by 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 pr
actical point of view, the procedure is possible at home.

Advantages over other face rejuvenation techniques

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

Even the administration 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. With plasmolifting, no foreign substances are introduced into the body, which would cause rejection, inflammation and a long period of rehabilitation.

What techniques can plasmolifting be combined with

Plasma facial rejuvenation, reviews of which often appear on forums devoted to the fight against age-related changes, has no contraindications in the future to any skin care methods.

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

How many sessions you need to complete to achieve the effect

Depending on the age of the patient, the ability of his body to quickly recover and susceptibility to plasmolifting, it may take 2-4 procedures with a period of 2-3 weeks – so much time is required for resorption of the gel and complete restoration of the skin from injections. For the treatment of alopecia, up to 10 sessions may be needed.
