In 2004, we managed to find a solution to the age-related changes in the facial skin that excite the mind of the female side. The main component of the juvenile elixir is the high platelet-containing plasma that is released from the patient's blood. This is why this technique is called plasma face lifting. It will be discussed further.
The essence of the technique
Plasma facelift is an innovative technology in the fight against aging, mature skin. The technique is based on the injection of treated plasma from the patient's blood. The substance is called platelet autoplasma. The injection magically activates the body's ability to produce hyaluronic acid, collagen, stimulates the accelerated division of stem cells and has a beneficial effect on skin function.
Thanks to scientists, an innovative technique has been introduced into cosmetology from medicine. A young (under 20 years old) plasma rejuvenation procedure is popular and is used in reputable clinics for its significant results and health safety.
Advantages and disadvantages of plasma lifting
The main advantage of the facial rejuvenation method is that it works effectively from within the cells, reprograms regeneration processes, regenerates skin tissues, stimulates the accelerated synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers.
However, rejection of the injection, allergic reactions or side effects related to the active substance are excluded. The procedure involves only the patient's autoplasm - no foreign protein or cellular components.
Plasma lifting can be combined with RF facelift and other salon rejuvenation methods.
It should be noted that rejuvenation with processed plasma has small age limits. Recommended for patients aged 25-60 years.
The disadvantages of the lifting technique are:
- any injection violates the integrity of the skin surface and therefore carries a risk of infection;
- the procedure is accompanied by mild pain during blood collection, direct injection into the skin;
- unsatisfactory adherence to health and hygiene standards at the clinic, violation of disinfection of medical equipment (such as centrifuge tubes) threatens possible infection with viral hepatitis, HIV, syphilis and other diseases that may spread through the blood of a previous client;
- the risk of activation of viruses in the blood that do not manifest in any way (such as herpes);
On the first day you will not see the immediate effect. The body must initiate the mechanism of dermal renewal and reproduction. Therefore, it must withstand the expected effect.
Indications and positive effect of the technique
Plasma boosting allows you to get rid of or noticeably reduce the following archibs:
- stretch marks, scars;
- mimicry, wrinkles of old age;
- vascular network;
- skin aging with age;
- acne, psoriasis and dermatological diseases;
- excessive pigmentation;
- the need to accelerate tissue recovery after laser, chemical peels, ablative rejuvenation procedures.
Unfortunately, the first visible improvements will be noticeable in a week. The rejuvenation process takes six months. Nevertheless, you will be satisfied with the results:
- the general effect of facial rejuvenation,
- bright and healthy color;
- imitate, the wrinkles of old age disappear;
- the tone and relief of the face is equalized;
- scars, stretch marks and scars will be less noticeable;
- acne and acne treatment;
- hyperpigmentation, dry skin disappears;
- the contours of the face are tense, given a clear outline;
- side effects of cosmetic procedures, ultraviolet burns disappear quickly;
- the aging process is slowed down by an increase in the amount of synthesized collagen fibers, normalization of cellular water balance, oxygen saturation, and active regenerative function of the skin.
Contraindications to plasma lifting
Plasma lift is categorically contraindicated with patient health disorders such as:
- acute and exacerbated chronic diseases;
- diabetes;
- infectious and autoimmune diseases;
- oncology;
- HIV infection,
- hepatitis B, C;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- coagulation disorders, haemophilia;
- mental disorders, epilepsy;
- immunodeficiency of the client's body.
Plasma lifting procedure
It is worth noting that this technique is performed only in special clinics, medical centers, using expensive equipment of a trained professional. It is not possible to perform the procedure at home.
Facial rejuvenation with this technique requires a preparatory phase. It provides for:
- Delivery of 4 blood tests: for HIV, hepatitis B, C and AT to Treponema pallidum (total). It is not necessary to perform tests at the procedure clinic. The completed form is also valid with the stamp of another laboratory;
- Collection of 10-20 ml of venous blood to produce therapeutic plasma.
The injection is performed at the clinic in the presence of the client and includes the following steps:
- 1-2 disposable tubes filled with blood are placed in a small centrifuge.
- The centrifuge begins to rotate rapidly, the blood is divided into several fractions of different densities. This plasma is poor, platelet-rich plasma and erythrocytes. The tubes have a special coating so that the blood does not clot.
- Only platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is used for plasma lifting. The number of platelets in 1 ml of plasma reaches 1 million.
The injection preparation phase takes about 15 minutes, strictly following the sequence and technology of the procedure. The resulting material is then injected with a thin needle (as in mesotherapy) into the inner layers of the dermis, directly into the problem areas.
Cases of non-invasive plasma elevation of the skin are allowed. This technique allows the resulting drug to be distributed without problem areas.
By the time the plasma skin rejuvenation lasts 20-60 minutes, depending on the size of the defects to be treated. It is recommended that you repeat the injection after 1-2 weeks. Usually the process of plasma treatment is 4-6 visits.
How to prepare for the procedure
Plasma lifting is a planned, non-transient action. Taking tests and seeing a doctor is not everything. To achieve greater efficiency of the procedure, it is recommended 2-3 days before the procedure:
- refuses to take anticoagulants and anticoagulants, aspirin and lemon;
- do not drink alcohol, do not smoke;
- drink more water (more than 2 liters per day);
- exclude fatty, spicy and unhealthy foods (such as chips), pay attention to anti-aging foods and fresh vegetables and fruits;
- reduce or stop physical activity if possible.
As for the day of plasmolifting, i. e. 3 hours before the start of the procedure, it is undesirable.
Combination of delicacies and other methods of rejuvenation
The main condition of the procedure is absolute sterility, strict adherence of the clinic to the requirements of septic and antiseptics. Therefore, when choosing a clinic, inquire about the availability of relevant documents:
- authorization to pursue medical activities;
- admission to the clinic to work with blood and its derivatives;
- certificate for plasma lifting.
Health safety and the effectiveness of technology depend on this.
The finished plasma should not be stored, frozen or transported. Therefore, it is important that the injection is given in your presence.
Bruises and hematomas may occur at the injection site. Don't worry, they will go away on their own within 2-3 days.
No rehabilitation measures are required. However, excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation should be avoided. It is better to postpone the visit to the solarium, sauna or swimming pool for a short time.
Plasma augmentation is coupled with laser facial skin rejuvenation. Many specialty clinics offer fragmented technology in addition. This approach enhances and prolongs the impact achieved.
A comprehensive approach to skin aging
Do not rely solely on the results of plasma elevations. Organize proper care, nutrition, and a healthy lifestyle with proper sleep for up to 8 hours.
Don’t forget the massage and facial gymnastics. Such exercises perfectly keep the skin tissue in good shape.
Plasma boosting allows the use of self-made anti-aging cosmetics. Many recipes made from seaweed or natural olive oil are rich in nutrients.
The cost of plasma rejuvenation
Plasmolifting is a rather expensive technique for skin renewal. The reason for this is the purchase of expensive equipment and documents required for implementation.
The cost of the procedure depends on the size of the problem area and the prestige of the clinic. Be sure to check that the appropriate permit documentation is available. The overestimated costs of the procedure are also unacceptable, possibly the clinic violated a patented technique (imported equipment, test tubes - this is already a discrepancy).
Carefully approach the selection of the clinic to achieve an impact that justifies the investment.
