A characteristic feature of plasmolifting, what it is, will be clear somewhat later, that its action is based on the activation and renewal of the patient's own resources. After the procedure, the regenerative, metabolic and immune systems interact, without the penetration of foreign substances and antibodies into the body. This eliminates the risk of allergic reactions and rejection of ingested particles.
The essence of the rejuvenation technique
The technique of rejuvenation using blood plasma was developed by academics of plastic medicine and officially patented back in 2003. Plasmolifting, as a method of PRP therapy, has become widespread in cosmetology recently. Initially, the technique was used to restore bone tissue, and its beneficial effect on the epidermis was discovered quite by accident, and the developers described it as a side effect. Currently, plasma lifting is the only rejuvenation technique after which there are no complications and 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 materials for performing procedures. Blood is taken from a vein just before manipulation. The blood undergoes a special treatment, due to which the red blood cells are separated from the plasma and removed from it. The material is then enriched with collagen and elastin. No more than 15 minutes are required for all these manipulations.
The cosmetic plasma gel obtained in such a simple way, after injection under the skin, acts as a building material. The record number of platelets, collagen and fibrin found in it helps replace obsolete fragments of the epidermis and stimulates the skin to create new cell chains, producing fibroblasts and its own hyaluronic acid, which are responsible for rejuvenating and regenerating 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 spectrum of efficiency of plasma injections is very wide. This method of skin rejuvenation and renewal is used for problems such as:
- change in facial contours, loss of elasticity and volume of the cheeks;
- the appearance of deep wrinkles of old age or as a consequence of facial features;
- increased pigmentation of the epidermis;
- decreased skin elasticity, including eyelids, chin, neck and décolleté;
- the appearance of scars as a result of improper acne treatment or after surgery.
To restore the skin on the body, after a change in weight or as a consequence of hormonal changes in the body, laser plasma lifting is most often used, but the method of injection procedure is not excluded. This technique is widely used to improve the condition of the hair, and in dentistry - when implanting implants and treating gums.
Preparation for the procedure and recovery period
No special preparations are required to inject skin rejuvenation. Procedures such as plasma lifting or biorevitalization do not include the use of anesthesia or keeping the patient in the hospital. The surface of the skin, at the injection sites, is subjected to application anesthesia, which excludes the occurrence of a painful reaction.
Plasmolifting, before and after it, does not cause discomfort and does not affect the normal rhythm of the patient's life. Mild swelling of the skin surface, which in very rare cases occurs at the injection site, disappears after 2-3 hours.
In order 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 not affected so much by the skills of the cosmetologist as by the condition of the client's epidermis at the time of treatment, his age and general health. During rejuvenation with the help of plasma lifting, it is recommended to exclude stressful situations, alcohol consumption, smoking, in order 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 noticeable after the first cycle 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 an expert, and strictly follow all his advice. Positive dynamics is 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.

Contraindications for facial plasma therapy
Despite the fact that the plasma lifting procedure is simple and painless, there are numerous contraindications for its implementation. You cannot use this rejuvenation method if:
- the patient is pregnant or breastfeeding;
- there are blood clotting disorders;
- at the time of the session there are progressive diseases of infectious etiology;
- the presence of serious chronic diseases, such as cancer or diabetes mellitus;
- there is even the slightest risk of developing an allergic reaction to proco- or antiagulants.
Estimated prices for plasma lifting
The price of a plasma lift depends on which part of the body will be performed and which problems need to be solved in each specific case.
Only a qualified professional with a blood work license and the appropriate license for this type of activity is entitled to perform the plasma lifting procedure.
