An effective solution to age-related changes in the skin of the face, exciting the mind of the female half, was found in 2004. The main component of the elixir of youth is high platelet plasma, whichis released from the patient's blood. Therefore, the technique is called plasma lifting. It is about it that will be discussed later.
The essence of the technique
The plasma lifting is an innovative technology to fight against the aging of mature skin. The technique is based on the injection of treated plasma obtained 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 the accelerated division of stem cells and has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the skin.
An innovative technique has come to cosmetology from medicine, thanks to scientists. A young (under 20) plasma rejuvenation procedure is popular and is used in clinics known for its significant results and safety.
Advantages and disadvantages of plasma lifting
The main advantage of the facial rejuvenation method is its effective action inside the cells, reprogramming the processes of regeneration, renewal of skin tissues, stimulating the accelerated synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers.
In turn, the rejection of the injection, allergic reactions or side effects associated with the active substance are excluded. The procedure only involves the patient's autoplasm - no foreign proteins or cellular components.
Plasmolifting can be combined with RF face lift and other salon rejuvenation methods.
It should be noted that rejuvenation with processed plasma has small age restrictions. It is recommended for patients aged 25 to 60 years.
The disadvantages of the lifting technique include:
- any injection is a violation of the integrity of the skin surface, therefore the risk of infection is present;
- the procedure is accompanied by a slight pain when drawing blood, direct injection into the skin;
- insufficient observance of 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 canbe transmitted by the blood of a former client;
- the risk of activation of viruses that are present in the blood and do not manifest themselves in any way (for example, herpes);

Plasma lifting procedure
It should be noted that this technique is carried out exclusively in specialized clinics, medical centers, with the help of expensive equipment by a qualified specialist. It is not possible to perform the procedure at home.
Facial rejuvenation with this technique requires a preparatory step. He plans :
- delivery of 4 blood tests: for HIV, hepatitis B, C and AT to Treponema pallidum (total). It is not necessary to pass tests in the clinic for the procedure. A completed form with the stamp of another laboratory is also valid;
- collection of 10-20 ml of venous blood for the production of therapeutic plasma.
The injection is done in the clinic in the presence of the client and consists of the following steps:
- 1-2 disposable tubes filled with the collected blood are placed in a special small-sized centrifuge.
- The centrifuge begins to spin quickly, the blood is divided into several fractions of different density. This plasma is poor, rich in platelets and erythrocytes. The tubes have a special coating, so that the blood does not clot.
- For plasma lifting, only platelet rich plasma (PRP) is used. The number of platelets in 1 ml of plasma reaches 1 million.
The preparation for injection step lasts about 15 minutes in strict compliance with the order and technology of the process. Then the resulting substance is injected with a syringe with a thin needle (as in mesotherapy) into the inner layers of the dermis, directly into the problem areas.
Non-invasive plasma skin lifting is authorized. This technique allows delivery of the resulting drug to problem areas without injections.
By the time a plasma skin rejuvenation session takes 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the blemishes to be treated. It is recommended to repeat the injection session after 1-2 weeks. As a rule, the course of plasma treatment is 4-6 visits.
How to prepare for the procedure
Plasmolifting is a planned action, not a passing one. Getting some tests and seeing a doctor isn't everything. To achieve greater effectiveness of the procedure, 2-3 days before the procedure, it is recommended:
- refuse to take medicinal anti- and procoagulants, 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 the plasmolifting, that is to say 3 hours before the start of the operation, is not desirable.
Subtleties and combination with other methods of rejuvenation
Absolute sterility, strict observance by the clinic of septic and antiseptic requirements is the main condition of the procedure. So, when choosing a clinic, pay attention to the availability of relevant documents:
- authorization to exercise medical activities;
- admission to the clinic to work with blood and its derivatives;
- certificate for plasma lifting.
The sanitary safety and the efficiency of the technique depend on it.
Storage, freezing or transport of finished plasma is not permitted. It is therefore important that the injection be given in your presence.
Bruising and bruising may appear at the injection sites. Don't worry, they will go away on their own in 2-3 days.
Rehabilitation measures are not necessary. However, it is necessary to avoid excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays. It is better to postpone visits to the solarium, sauna, swimming pool for a short time.
Plasma lifting is associated with laser rejuvenation of the facial skin. Many specialized clinics also offer fractional technology. This approach will improve and prolong the effect obtained.
A global approach to skin aging
Do not rely solely on the result of lifting the plasma. Organize proper care, diet and healthy lifestyle with adequate sleep for up to 8 hours.
Don't forget the massages and facial gymnastics. Such exercises perfectly maintain the skin tissue in good condition.
Plasma lifting allows you to continue using anti-aging cosmetics prepared by yourself. Many recipes based on kelp or natural olive oil, rich in nutrients.
Cost of plasma rejuvenation
Plasmolifting is quite an 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 the relevant authorization documentation. The overestimated cost of the procedure is also unacceptable, perhaps a violation by the clinic of a patented technique (imported equipment, test tubes - this is already a deviation).
Approach the selection of a clinic carefully in order to obtain an effect that will justify the investment.
