All clinics that value their reputation as advanced urgently equip their rooms with equipment for centrifuging the patient’s own blood in order to obtain “platelet-rich plasma.”
Then a variety of marketing rules come into play - some centrifuge the plasma using a special Swiss method, some do not go into detail, veiledly calling the process “special laboratory conditions”, some honestly clarify that they use German equipment and test tubes recommended Russian developers of the plasmoliftingTM method, Professor R.R. Akhmerov and Ph.D. R.F. Zarudiy.
The excitement around the method is quite understandable: all the iconic glossy publications in the beauty and health sections have, in one way or another, sung an ode to the method itself and the amazing instant results it produces.
One cannot but agree with the advantages of plasma treatment:
- Using the natural resources of your own blood
- The risk of allergic reactions is minimized
- The risk of fibrosis is associated only with injection microtraumas, which negates the possibility of the formation of fibrin capsules during the introduction of a foreign agent.
The question is why the advantages are so diligently noted, without paying attention to possible disadvantages and the fact that plasma lifting cannot be shown to absolutely everyone “over 25” and provide “instant results” to everyone. These and many other advertising slogans can discredit plasma therapy when it is used according to indications, with careful selection of patients to achieve the most striking therapeutic results.
Let us leave it to the clinics to attempt to pass off a technique as exclusively imported from Switzerland, Germany or Japan, when the website of the Russian developers of the method contains a list of all medical centers that have undergone certified training.
If you read carefully, the owners of “unique imported” methods of obtaining PRP (platelet-rich plasma) are also on this list.
What are these innocent lies for? Or is there really so little faith in Russian science that it is necessary to embellish reality?
We can be proud of the history of the development of autohemotherapy in our country (the use of one’s own blood for the purpose of reparation, recovery after injuries, burns and serious operations). Can we be proud of plasma lifting or will we have to use other newly popular terms?
Efficiency of use
Plasmolifting is used for medical reasons (dentistry, gynecology, traumatology), and for aesthetic purposes. The effect inhibits inflammation, activates tissue regeneration, and has a positive effect on the course of internal processes. The introduction of blood plasma into the tissue “triggers” the natural course of rejuvenation.
In cosmetology, plasma lifting helps achieve the following results:
- smoothing of the skin: small wrinkles disappear, the depth of large folds and creases decreases;
- improvement of the condition of the skin: complexion is normalized, dryness and flaking disappear, firmness and elasticity of the skin increases, bags, dark circles, hyperpigmentation disappear;
- increased regenerative abilities: inflammation disappears, scars smooth out, tissue restoration improves;
- slowing down the aging process: active cell renewal, improving tissue quality.
When is the effect of facial plasma therapy noticeable?
It will be possible to compare the results of facial plasma therapy “before and after” ten days after the injection. Unfortunately, not all patients observe a pronounced effect after the first procedure; sometimes it seems that nothing has changed. When rejuvenating the face with plasma therapy, the result depends on age characteristics; when treating acne, it depends on the duration of the disease. In addition, the general condition of the patient’s body plays an important role.
The plasma therapy technique provides:
- Anti-aging effect
. Gets rid of obsolete cells, helping the emergence of new ones. The skin is transformed - it acquires lost smoothness, elasticity and softness. Facial plasma therapy activates the activity of the BCL gene, which can slow down aging at the cellular level.
- Protective effect
. The skin's protection from ultraviolet rays is enhanced, and the regeneration process proceeds faster, which is why any damage heals in a shorter time. The skin becomes more resistant to the negative effects of external factors.
- Moisturizing effect
. Prevents dehydration, starts the process of formation of proteins that ensure the elasticity of the skin. With sufficient hydration, the feeling of tightness disappears and the risk of developing inflammation and skin irritation is reduced.
- Reduces skin photosensitivity
. Starting cell metabolism reduces the likelihood of pigmentation, the face becomes fresher, and the color is evened out.
- Improves skin trophism
. The process of blood circulation in the vessels is normalized, which ultimately allows the process of cell regeneration to be accelerated.
- Lifting effect
. Due to serious hydration, the oval of the face is also tightened.
- Fights hyperpigmentation
. The process of evening out the complexion begins, which occurs when getting rid of dead skin cells.
Indications for use
Plasmolifting with your own blood for aesthetic purposes is carried out according to the following indications:
- acne, post-acne, scars, poorly healing wounds;
- hyperpigmentation;
- various age-related changes.
By injecting blood plasma under the skin, it will be possible to improve the condition of the face, hands, neck, décolleté, and other areas with severe problems. The technique allows you to refresh your appearance.
Exposure is carried out according to indications. There are no strict age restrictions for the administration of blood plasma. The doctor will tell you at what point it is best to use the technique. Plasmolifting is aimed at achieving a natural result. Treatment occurs, not masking of problems.
Attention! The technique is not a panacea. It will not be possible to achieve instant, complete disappearance of problems. When the patient is over 45 years old, the technology is considered ineffective for rejuvenation.
Where is blood taken for facial plasmatherapy?
The fact that blood has been considered a magical rejuvenating agent since ancient times is evidenced by many legends and real stories:
- The ancient Romans drank the blood of conquered gladiators.
- In China, they used the blood of murdered young men.
- Many have heard the story of Countess Bathory. There were legends that all her crimes were committed with the aim of obtaining the blood of young girls, with the help of which the Countess kept her skin fresh.
Obviously, people have long subconsciously realized that blood can have a slowing effect on age-related changes in the skin. Of course, at that time humanity did not have enough knowledge, so attempts to rejuvenate were cruel, but unsuccessful. Fortunately, you have a great opportunity to slow down aging effectively and painlessly - this is facial plasma therapy! As we have already said, for facial plasma therapy, only the patient’s own blood plasma, taken from the patient, filled with platelets, is used. Based on the results of many scientific experiments, it turned out that it is thanks to plasma that the metabolism in tissues accelerates, fresh cells appear, and blood circulation in the body increases.
Cells that are located deep in the layers of the skin, after injection, trigger the active synthesis of proteins that ensure the elasticity and firmness of the skin. These are, first of all, collagen and elastin.
We will briefly look at how facial plasma therapy is done. To carry out the procedure itself, it is necessary to take a small amount of blood from a vein - about eight milliliters. It is placed in a test tube, which is pre-treated with a substance to prevent blood from clotting and mixing. After which the blood in a test tube is sent to a special centrifuge, which begins to rotate at a given speed.
These actions divide the blood into two components - white, which is saturated with platelets, it rises to the top of the test tube, and red, with red blood cells, which settles at the bottom of the test tube. Eight milliliters of blood is enough for plasma therapy of the face, neck and décolleté.
Types of procedure
Plasmolifting is based on the introduction of your own blood cells under the skin. To carry out the treatment, venous blood is taken from the patient. After special hardware processing, the separated platelets are injected using micropunctures under the skin. The procedure is similar to mesotherapy. The following types of technologies are used in cosmetology:
- on Swiss regenlab devices;
- according to the Spanish method endoret prgf;
- according to the Russian plasmoliftlng scheme.
All options involve processing the patient's own blood in a centrifuge. Regen lab and Endoret devices are considered more effective. The machines allow you to store more platelets.
PRGF technology is distinguished by the best quality of the resulting material. The plasma used has an increased growth factor, which accelerates the achievement of anti-aging results.
The technology of platelet injection makes it possible to replace contour plastic with hyaluronic acid or aquashine, and plasmafilling is performed. To do this, after treatment in a centrifuge, the blood is enriched with a thickener or heated.
The resulting gel is injected using a cannula into problem areas (nasolabial folds, cheek-zygomatic area, deep creases) for volumization and tissue strengthening.
Some cosmetologists equate the results achieved by prp therapy and Fraxel. The laser technique is often called the cold method of obtaining the effect.
Fraxel and plasma lifting cannot be equated. The result is similar, but the difference in the methods of achieving it is significant.
Where is the plasma lifting procedure applied?
Plasmolifting solves many skin problems, it is used:
- for the face to eliminate acne, acne, pimples, wrinkles, scars, uneven skin texture, pigmentation, excessive peeling, dryness and negativism after ultraviolet irradiation;
- for hair by injecting into the scalp to stop the dying of the hair follicles, start microcirculation, speed up metabolism, increase local immunity, eliminate the unpleasant manifestations of baldness, itching, burning, peeling;
- in dentistry, if necessary, speed up the regeneration of bone tissue, reduce pain and inflammation in the oral cavity, stop bleeding gums, and eliminate the risk of implant rejection;
- in gynecology to eliminate various discomforts in the female genital organs, relieve the inflammatory process, moisturize the vagina during menopause, separate adhesions, normalize urination;
- in urology by introducing an injection into the wall of the urethra or bladder to start the regeneration processes of the mucous membrane, relieve inflammation and painful urinary symptoms in chronic diseases (cystitis urethritis) with a protracted course;
- in neurology, if patients are bothered by pain in the spine and neck, intercostal neuralgia, osteochondrosis, herniated intervertebral discs;
- in traumatology to reduce pain in muscles and joints, increase their motor activity and shorten the rehabilitation period, which is important for athletes in order to quickly return to training.
Preparing for the intervention
Plasmolifting involves undergoing a mandatory preliminary consultation with a cosmetologist. The doctor assesses the condition of the skin, confirms the possibility of manipulation, and gives recommendations for preparation. For a final decision, a health assessment based on tests is required. Doctors prescribe a standard clinical blood test. Important indicators: ESR, glucose level, platelets. Identification of any deviation from the norm is subject to preliminary correction.
As an independent preparation for intervention at home, the doctor will recommend:
- give up antibiotics and anticoagulants for 2–7 days;
- follow a diet: do not drink alcohol, eliminate fatty foods for 2–3 days;
- the day before, limit the consumption of sweets and “harmful” foods.
Venous blood is collected for the session during the procedure. It is advisable to arrive for the procedure on an empty stomach.
In the morning it is allowed to drink a glass of water; tea and coffee are excluded before exposure. When performing a session in the evening, you can eat food 4 hours before the procedure, but the food should be light and quickly digestible.
When facial plasma therapy does not bring the expected result
Unfortunately, facial plasma therapy cannot be called a panacea for aging for everyone. When studying numerous reviews, based on the comments of specialists, we can conclude that in some situations the facial plasma therapy procedure does not have the desired effect. Moreover, it can even aggravate poor facial skin conditions. The patient must undergo all examinations required of him, and cosmetologists and doctors, in turn, must strive to improve the quality of the procedure and to eliminate accidents during its implementation.
Authoritative experts believe that facial plasma therapy can cause a negative result only in certain cases, which are dictated by mistakes and deviations from strict norms of the procedure. Thus, we can classify failed facial plasma therapy and negative reviews into three groups:
- Neglect by the patient or doctor of existing contraindications. Before collecting plasma and administering injections, you need to familiarize yourself with all the prohibitions; if you ignore them, you may encounter completely unpredictable consequences. Both the specialist and the patient himself are considered the responsible person. For example, a doctor may be careless in ordering an examination, and the patient himself may hide any illnesses or take certain substances.
- Violations committed by a specialist during facial plasmatherapy. This procedure involves precise intradermal injection, which is carried out only along certain lines of skin tension. When a specialist does not follow these rules, complications may arise that overshadow the result.
- Inflated expectations from plasma therapy for facial rejuvenation. Most people who want to try this procedure mistakenly understand its purpose. As we said, this is not a facelift! The effect of plasma therapy cannot be compared with surgery, so some patients are extremely upset by the result, believing that they were simply deceived. The specialist must accurately and clearly explain to the patient all the pros and cons of the procedure, describe the final result and not hide possible complications.
In order for you to understand where the boundaries of the cosmetologist’s powers lie and the responsibility of the patient begins, you need to get acquainted with specific negative reviews about the procedure. As you read, you will understand what motivates the commentators, and will also form a clearer picture of facial plasma therapy.
Elizaveta (34 years old), Samara
I went to do facial plasma therapy, chose one of the expensive salons, they questioned me for a very long time, then they took tests and after all this they sent me for facial plasma therapy. After the procedure, I had bruises all over my face, which is why I was scheduled for new examinations! It turned out that it was because of my pills. I didn’t even think that a simple painkiller could lead to this, so I didn’t tell the cosmetologist about taking it.
It is quite obvious that in this situation the patient is to blame - you cannot remain silent if you are taking NSAIDs, because they reduce blood clotting. The doctor always interviews the patient; it is necessary to accurately answer all his questions, because this is done for your own good!
Valeria (26 years old), Penza
Plasma therapy is a nightmare. During pregnancy, pigmentation appeared on my face; I was recommended mesotherapy or plasma lifting. The doctor said that in my situation it is better to choose facial plasma lifting, because it requires my plasma, and not some chemicals. Well, I agreed! And after the procedure, my face was very swollen. The cosmetologist suggested that this was a complication due to pregnancy. I started looking for information and found out that during pregnancy you can’t do plasma lifting at all, or even mesotherapy! Apparently they don’t care about human health, they only think about money.

Carrying out the procedure
Plasmolifting lasts no more than an hour. The doctor acts according to the procedure protocol. The cosmetologist will tell you how the technique works during your preliminary consultation. The procedure begins with blood sampling.
The doctor determines how much base is needed individually. Usually 20–60 ml of venous blood is sufficient. The doctor places the substance into a test tube. The blood is supplemented with an anticoagulant, a special gel. The substance is processed in a laboratory centrifuge, which allows the components to be separated.
For manipulation you will need blood platelets from test tubes.
During the preparation of the material, the patient’s skin is cleaned and treated with an antiseptic. In most cases, anesthesia is not required. The patient may feel mild pain similar to an insect bite. With the prepared substance, the doctor treats problem areas according to a pre-planned pattern using thin needles. Papular, deep injection of the substance and the use of a cannula are possible. To complete the session, the skin must be wiped with an antiseptic again.
How is the rehabilitation going?
PRP therapy has a short recovery period for the human body. Immediately after the intervention, you can begin your daily life, observing only a minimum list of restrictions. What should you do after the injections? Experts recommend:
- limit active physical activity (for 7-10 days);
- for the first 24 hours, do not use cosmetics and do not carry out hygiene and water procedures in the affected area;
- limit exposure to high temperatures on the body (do not visit the solarium, sauna, swimming pool, do not use a hair dryer for 14 days);
- Limit alcohol consumption and blood thinning medications.
Treatment areas
Plasma lifting is performed on different parts of the face and body. To achieve overall rejuvenation, apply evenly to the face, neck, and décolleté area. It is possible to highlight a specific area. Plasmolifting of the area around the eyes, lips, and neck is popular.
The truncated procedure takes less time and produces a highly targeted effect. In areas with delicate skin, a predominantly papular treatment technique is used: the substance is injected superficially, filling the intercellular space with the substance to form a “bubble”.
In areas with a pronounced fat layer, a deep injection technique under the skin is used. Manipulation allows you to eliminate cellulite, stretch marks, and reduce the appearance of a double chin.
With the help of plasmafilling, performed with a cannula, it will be possible to model contours and eliminate defects. The option is most often used in the cheek-zygomatic area. Using this technique, it is possible to fill the lips and eyelids. The result is a natural result, similar to the effect of non-surgical blepharoplasty or mouth augmentation with fillers.
Facial plasma therapy: customer reviews
Natalia (33 years old), Moscow
I was very embarrassed about my wrinkles around my eyes, on my forehead and in my lips. They appeared not so long ago, but were already very noticeable! In addition, I have long and unsuccessfully struggled with a double chin and pigmentation on my face. There is simply no result! I heard about facial plasma therapy from a friend and soon decided to do it. The result exceeded my expectations! The skin became soft, wrinkles disappeared, even the double chin shrank, and the complexion became much smoother. Feeling of freshness and youth, velvet skin! I was lucky to get into a period of good discounts, the savings turned out to be decent! Now I can safely recommend facial rejuvenation with plasma therapy!
Larisa (43 years old), Voronezh
Expression wrinkles are some kind of punishment! I tried all the means and spent a lot of money on different procedures, of course there was an effect, but it quickly ended. In addition, my skin was very dry and inflamed, and peeling only made things worse. One cosmetologist told me about facial plasma therapy. I became interested and learned more about the procedure, its safety and effectiveness. To be honest, I didn’t have much faith in the result, but the decisive argument in favor was the use of plasma from my blood. I donated blood, after which I was injected with plasma separated from it. During the process, I felt almost nothing; I was given two approaches a couple of weeks apart. I was pleased with the effect - wrinkles decreased, acne disappeared altogether, and my complexion was refreshed. The most important thing is that I have had no skin problems for more than three months, and all this thanks to facial plasma therapy.
Ksenia (36 years old), Kerch
I had fractional thermolysis, and after seven days I also had facial plasma therapy. I'm very impressed with the result. After the fractional thermolysis procedure, my skin tightened and the old dead layer came off. The doctor said that when using a laser, very small incisions are made on the skin, which damages it; this is the only way to renew the cells, because regeneration will begin. I was scared, so in addition I preferred facial plasma therapy, which was prescribed to me after fractional thermolysis. Thanks to the plasma therapy procedure, the skin began to recover much faster after laser exposure. This is how I got rid of dead skin cells.

Rehabilitation period
Plasmolifting is distinguished by the virtual absence of a rehabilitation period. After the procedure, given the injection effect on the skin, small bruises may appear, redness of the skin may form, and swelling appears in rare cases. The manifestations will go away on their own within 2–5 hours; no additional treatment is required.
Immediately after the session, you can calmly go to work and do your usual activities. It is advisable to give your skin a rest for the rest of the day: avoid cosmetics, limit touching and rubbing. Be sure to avoid baths, saunas, swimming pools, massages, and physiotherapy for 2–4 days. It is not recommended to sunbathe during the week. It is better to completely avoid direct contact with ultraviolet radiation on the skin. It is not advisable to subject the body to intense physical activity for 2-3 days.
Plasmolifting gives a positive result after a single procedure. To achieve a sustainable effect, it is necessary to undergo a course of interventions. Depending on the initial condition of the skin, you will need to do from 2-3 to 5-8 sessions. The procedures are performed with a break of 1–4 weeks.
Important! It is possible to alternate with other popular anti-aging techniques: thread lifting, lipolytics, chemical peeling, mesotherapy, biorevitalization, Botox. Some cosmetologists combine different therapy options at the same time. In this case, the effect occurs faster.
After a course of sessions, it is recommended to provide quarterly maintenance care. The result lasts 6–12 months.
What procedures are combined with plasma therapy for facial skin?
Plasma therapy goes well with many cosmetic and medical procedures:
- Biorevitalization.
- Chemical peels of varying depths of impact.
- Radio lifting.
- Bioreinforcement.
- Laser photothermolysis.
- Laser hyaluronoplasty.
- Exposure to a combined laser.
For example, the action of a combined laser increases the rejuvenation effect after facial plasma therapy, laser hyaluroplasty trains the skin, preparing it to increase the level of hyaluronic acid, and laser photothermolysis consolidates the effects of facial plasma therapy.
Session cost
The price for plasma lifting depends on the required scale of treatment. Usually the cost is considered acceptable. On average, performing a procedure with full facial coverage will cost 5–25 thousand rubles. One procedure is rarely enough.
Manipulation using domestic equipment will be cheaper, but achieving an effect will require more sessions.
When choosing a clinic, you need to think not only about the competence of the cosmetologist, but also worry about the quality of the equipment. It is recommended to find out important details in advance.
How to protect yourself from negative consequences
Due to violation of sanitary standards, ignoring contraindications, refusal of preliminary blood tests and low qualifications of the doctor, serious problems can arise, the most serious of which is blood poisoning. To avoid problems, you should make sure that the specialists of the selected clinic have certificates of completion of training from the developers themselves, whose methodology is the only one registered and approved for use in the Russian Federation.
A unique local bioimmunostimulant or facial plasmolifting also strengthens the overall strength of the body. Analogues of the development have not been tested and are not registered. Many drugs used for them are harmful to the body. Thus, sodium citrate used in the Swiss method is prohibited.
The too impressive cost of the course is not justified in any way: consumables, like ingredients, do not require huge expenses. The extreme complexity and high cost of the technology is a clear sign of fake plasma lifting. In such a clinic, they only care about their own benefit, and not about the health of their patients.
Contraindications
Plasmolifting is considered one of the safest anti-aging procedures. Even allergy sufferers can perform the manipulation. Although plasma lifting also has a number of contraindications:
- blood diseases;
- autoimmune, oncological processes in the body;
- AIDS, hepatitis, diabetes;
- pregnancy, lactation;
- infections, acute course of common, chronic diseases.
The procedure is not carried out if abnormalities are detected based on a blood test, during the period of taking antibiotics, or during menstruation. Separately, the doctor identifies the possibility of using anticoagulants. You cannot perform manipulation during a cold.
Recommendations after plasma therapy
Plasma therapy for the face (reviews and recommendations must be followed to avoid complications) is a procedure that allows the body to recover the next day after manipulation.
However, the treated areas of the face require proper care for 48 hours, adhering to the following prohibitions:
- do makeup;
- touch the surface of the skin of the face;
- exercise;
- apply tanning artificially or naturally;
- visit the swimming pool, bathhouse, sauna;
- take substances that negatively affect blood clotting;
- wash your face using harsh products containing SLS;
- drink alcohol and nicotine.
During the procedure, the needle may slightly damage the skin, which will lead to slight swelling and redness of the treated area.
In this case, it is permissible to perform the following points:
- When washing, you should use only gels and foams that have a mild effect;
- to fill the epidermis with moisture and vitamins, you need to take regular cosmetic preparations;
- During this period, it is not advisable to take new cosmetics, but use only those recommended by a cosmetologist.
If papules formed after the procedure cause discomfort, they should be treated with a sedative. After therapy, it is necessary to maintain water balance.
Consequences
Side effects from plasma injections are unlikely. Individual reactions of the body are observed in rare cases. During the manipulation, sterility must be maintained; you will not be able to become infected with various diseases.
Complications arise only when the exposure is carried out incorrectly. When contacting an experienced cosmetologist, the risk of unwanted consequences is minimized.
Some patients note pain at the injection sites, increased blood pressure, and activation of the herpes virus. The growth of cancer cells, contrary to the opinion of skeptics, cannot be provoked by intervention. No harm is done to the body.
Advantages and disadvantages of plasma lifting
The method does not involve the introduction of harmful foreign components into the layers of the dermis. This means it significantly reduces the risk of outbreaks of allergic reactions and side effects. The patient’s own plasma is injected under the skin, which actively improves the condition of the skin and stimulates the metabolic, regenerative, and immune functions of the body.
Advantages of plasma lifting:
- 100% hypoallergenic;
- enhancing stem cell growth;
- saturation of skin cells with oxygen;
- getting rid of expression lines and fine wrinkles on the face;
- activation of antioxidant processes in the subcutaneous layers.
Flaws:
- increased pain for patients with a low pain threshold;
- the possibility of autoinfection in the presence of viral cells in the blood plasma;
- providing a delayed effect after 1.5-2 weeks;
- inadequacy of a single procedure;
- overcharge.
Let's watch a video about the pros and cons of plasma lifting:
Advantages and disadvantages
A clear advantage of the rejuvenating technique is the naturalness of the process. As a result of the procedure, an improvement in skin condition, smoothing of defects and age-related manifestations is achieved. The manipulation takes a minimum of time and does not require special training or rehabilitation.
The disadvantages of the technique include the low effectiveness of rejuvenation and the need for a course of interventions. You have to take a blood test first. The technique does not bring results with advanced problems. The effect does not last long, you have to maintain your achievements and repeat courses.
What rules should you follow before and after the procedure?
Plasmolifting is not a costly procedure and does not take much time to prepare. Women only need to stick to a diet for 3-4 days and take a blood test the day before. After carrying out the method, to obtain a sustainable rejuvenation effect for a long time, it is recommended:
- no smoking;
- do not abuse alcoholic beverages;
- refuse to visit a hot solarium, bathhouse, sauna for 3-4 days;
- treat your face with sunscreen when going outside;
- wash your face gently with warm water and soft gel;
- do not perform massage or other cosmetic procedures (peeling).
With proper skin care and following the doctor’s recommendations, the rehabilitation period will not exceed 2-3 days. This time is enough for the punctures and microchannels at the needle insertion sites to heal completely. The main thing is that an infection does not get under the skin, causing a decrease in the protective functions of the skin and the development of inflammation. This can cause a lot of discomfort and is especially unpleasant for the face.
Opinion of cosmetologists
Doctors often use the technique in their work. Plasma injections give a weak but noticeable result. This option helps young patients with acne, scars, and the first signs of aging. To achieve a more pronounced effect, doctors prefer to combine treatment methods. For specialists, the technique is an excellent opportunity to delay patients’ visits to plastic surgeons.
The cosmetologist is confident in the effectiveness of plasma therapy, but uses the method only according to indications.
A cosmetologist has different ways to solve problems, but he prefers to start with more delicate methods.
Cosmetologists often combine different techniques to achieve a more noticeable result.
The cosmetologist is not satisfied with the effectiveness of the technique.
Effect
Immediately after completion of therapy, no visible result will be noticeable. This is due to the fact that the epidermis swells and turns red in the injection area, and hematomas can also form. In this case, the face may hurt for the first 2 days. It takes more than one day to restore hyaluronic acid, collagen, elastin synthesis and cell regeneration. After completion of therapy, it should take about 7 days for results to be seen.
However, one method is mainly missing. Therefore, therapy is done in a course. Plasma therapy improves metabolism and tissue regeneration through the combined effects of injections and platelet-rich plasma. The production of hyaluronic acid, elastin and collagen is also stimulated.
Upon completion of the course of the procedure, the following effects can be observed:
- the contour is leveled and the elasticity of the cover increases;
- microtraumas heal;
- facial skin acquires a radiant hue;
- local immunity increases;
- manifestations of cellulite are reduced;
- reduction of external signs of aging and facial wrinkles;
- pigment spots, itching, dryness, flaking and acne marks are eliminated.
Plasma therapy is not a method of deep rejuvenation. If there are pronounced age-related changes, they can only be corrected surgically. Plasmolifting helps to consolidate the effect and extend the breaks between operations.
Patient reviews
There are different reviews from patients about aesthetic blood plasma therapy. Some praise the achievements and repeat the manipulation many times; others are disappointed by the weak effectiveness of the technique. Negative opinions about the plasma lifting procedure are not so common. Reviews from strangers do not contain the whole truth; it is recommended to consult a doctor.
The patient is satisfied with the result of the procedure.
The patient has been struggling with acne for a long time. Plasma therapy gives a weak result, but the rejuvenating effect is noticeable.
Plasmolifting: the essence of the method
Plasmolifting stimulates natural regeneration processes in problem tissues. This is achieved by injecting platelet-rich plasma into them. Platelets ensure blood clotting; this is their main function. However, scientists later discovered that platelets also have another function: they not only participate in the creation of blood clots (thrombi) that prevent bleeding, but also produce substances that promote the healing of damaged tissue. It is this property of platelets that allows one to obtain a therapeutic effect from the plasma lifting procedure.
Plasmolifting accelerates regeneration processes (restoration of lost tissue structure). After the plasma lifting procedure, the skin tightens, its hydration and elasticity increase.
Improved Impact
One of the latest innovations in cosmetology is laser plasma lifting. Opinions about it are quite contradictory; there are often reviews that this method does not lead to fundamental differences in the final result; according to other information, it perfectly enhances the achieved effect. The new technique consists of two stages:
- standard plasma therapy;
- laser exposure, the purpose of which is to improve the digestibility of plasma.
The laser beam allows the beneficial substances to be distributed and penetrate as deeply as possible, which means that the expected effect will be greatly enhanced and will last much longer.
Advantages
If you examine people’s opinions about a procedure such as plasma lifting, reviews of it will characterize it as an effective, efficient and almost safe technique. Its advantages include:
- minimum side effects;
- results lasting from 6-8 months;
- safety in terms of the composition of the injections;
- financial accessibility.
