A successful solution to age-related changes in facial skin, exciting the minds of the female half, was found in 2004. The main component of the youth elixir is plasma with a high platelet content, which is released from the patient's blood. . Therefore, the technique is called facial plasma lifting. It is about him that will be discussed further.
The essence of the technique
Plasma face removal is an innovative technology to combat aging and mature skin. The technique is based on injecting treated plasma taken from the patient's blood. The substance is called platelet autoplasm. The injection magically activates the body's ability to produce hyaluronic acid, collagen, stimulates accelerated stem cell division and has a beneficial effect on skin function.
An innovative technique came to cosmetology from medicine, thanks to scientists. A new plasma rejuvenation procedure (less than 20 years old) is popular and used in clinics known for its important results and health safety.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Plasma Elevation
The main advantage of the method of facial rejuvenation is its effective action from within the cells, reprogramming the processes of regeneration, renewal of skin tissues, stimulating the accelerated synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers.
On the other hand, refusal of injection, allergic reactions or side effects associated with the active substance are excluded. The procedure involves only the patient's autoplasm - with no foreign proteins or cellular components.
Plasmolifting can be combined with RF facelift and other methods of rejuvenation in salons.
It should be noted that regeneration with processed plasma has small age restrictions. Recommended for patients aged 25-60 years.
Disadvantages of the lifting technique include:
- any injection is a violation of the integrity of the skin surface, hence the risk of infection is present;
- the procedure is accompanied by mild pain during blood sampling, direct injection into the skin;
- Insufficient adherence to sanitary and hygienic standards by the clinic, violation of disinfection of medical equipment (for example, centrifuge tubes) threatens possible infection with viral hepatitis, HIV, syphilis and other diseases that can be transmitted through the blood of a clientprevious;
- the risk of activation of viruses that were in the blood and did not appear in any way (for example, herpes);
You will not be able to see the immediate effect on the first day. The body must begin the mechanism of rejuvenation and reproduction of the dermis. Therefore, with the expected effect, you will have to be patient.

Plasma elevation procedure
It is worth noting that this technique is performed exclusively in specialized clinics, medical centers, using expensive equipment by a qualified specialist. Performing the procedure at home is not possible.
Facial rejuvenation with this technique requires a preparatory phase. It provides:
- sending 4 blood tests: for HIV, hepatitis B, C and AT to Treponema pallidum (total). It is not necessary to do tests at the procedure clinic. A form completed with a stamp from another laboratory is also valid;
- collection of 10-20 ml venous blood for therapeutic plasma production.
The injection is done in the clinic in the presence of the client and includes the following steps:
- 1-2 disposable tubes filled with the obtained blood are placed in a special centrifuge of small size.
- The centrifuge begins to rotate rapidly, the blood splitting into several fractions, varying in density. This plasma is poor plasma, rich in platelets and erythrocytes. The tubes have a special layer, so the blood does not clot.
- Only platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is used to raise plasma. The number of platelets in 1 ml of plasma reaches 1 million.
The injection preparation phase lasts about 15 minutes in strict observance of the order and technology of the process. The resulting substance is then injected with a syringe with a thin needle (as during mesotherapy) into the inner layers of the dermis, directly into the problem areas.
Cases of elevated non-invasive skin plasma are allowed. This technique ensures the delivery of the resulting medicine to the problem areas without injections.
By the time a plasma skin rejuvenation session lasts 20-60 minutes, depending on the size of the defects being treated. It is recommended to repeat the injection session after 1-2 weeks. Typically, the course of plasma treatment is 4-6 visits.
How to prepare for the procedure
Plasmolifting is a planned, non-transient action. Taking tests and consulting a doctor is not all. To achieve greater effectiveness of the procedure, 2-3 days before the procedure, it is recommended:
- refuse to take anti- and procoagulant drugs, aspirin and citramone;
- do not drink alcohol, do not smoke;
- drink more water (more than 2 liters per day);
- exclude fatty, spicy and unhealthy foods (for example, chips), pay attention to anti-aging foods and fresh vegetables, fruits;
- physical activity, if possible, reduce or stop.
As for the day of plasmolifting, ie 3 hours before the start of the procedure is undesirable.
Details and combination with other methods of rejuvenation
Absolute sterility, strict adherence by the clinic to the requirements of septic and antiseptics is the main condition for the procedure. Therefore, when choosing a clinic, be interested in the availability of relevant documents:
- permission to engage in medical activities;
- admission to the clinic to work with blood and its derivatives;
- plasma elevation certificate.
The health safety and effectiveness of the technique depend on this.
Storing, freezing or transporting the finished plasma is not permitted. Therefore, it is important that the injection is done in your presence.
Bruising and hematoma may occur at the injection site. Do not worry, they will leave in 2-3 days on their own.
Rehabilitation measures are not necessary. However, it is necessary to avoid excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Better it is better to postpone visits to the solarium, sauna, swimming pool for a short time.
Plasma removal is combined with laser facial skin rejuvenation. Many specialist clinics also offer partial technology. This approach will enhance and prolong the effect achieved.
A comprehensive approach to skin aging
Do not rely solely on the result of plasma elevation. Organize proper care, nutrition and a healthy lifestyle with proper sleep for up to 8 hours.
Do not forget about facial massage and gymnastics. Such exercises perfectly keep the skin tissues in good shape.
Plasma Elevation allows you to continue using self-prepared anti-aging cosmetics. Many recipes made from kelp or natural olive oil, rich in nutrients.
Plasma renewal cost
Plasmolifting is a very expensive technique for skin rejuvenation. This is due to expensive equipment, obtaining documents for its implementation.
The cost of the procedure depends on the size of the problem area and the prestige of the clinic. Be sure to check the availability of relevant permit documentation. The overestimated cost of the procedure is also unacceptable, perhaps a violation by the clinic of a patented technician (imported equipment, test tubes - this is already a discrepancy).
Carefully approach the choice of a clinic in order to get an effect that will justify the investment.
