A distinctive feature of plasmalifting, what it is, will become clear a little later, is that its action is based on the activation and restoration of the patient's own resources. After the procedure, the interaction of the regenerative, metabolic and immune systems takes place without the penetration of foreign substances and antibodies into the body. And this eliminates the risk of allergic reactions and rejection of the introduced particles.
The essence of the rejuvenation technique
The technique of rejuvenation with the help of blood plasma was developed by academics in plastic medicine and officially patented 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 described by the developers of the method as a side effect. Currently, plasma lifting is the only rejuvenating technique after which there are no complications and which has no side effects.
The essence of the method consists in the introduction of plasma obtained from the patient's blood into the problem area of the skin. Plasmolifting of the face begins with receiving material for procedures. Blood is taken from a vein immediately before the procedure. The blood is subjected to a special treatment, as a result of which the red blood cells are separated from the plasma and removed from it. The material is then enriched with collagen and elastin. All these manipulations take no more than 15 minutes.
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 contained in it, helps replace old fragments of the epidermis and stimulates the skin to create new cell chains, the production of fibroblasts and its own hyaluronic acid, which are responsible for rejuvenating and restoring 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 efficacy of plasma injections is very wide. This method of skin rejuvenation and recovery is used for problems such as:
- change in facial contours, loss of elasticity and volume of the cheeks;
- the appearance of deep wrinkles of age or as a result of facial features;
- increased pigmentation of the epidermis;
- reduced elasticity of the skin, including the eyelids, chin, neck and décolleté;
- the appearance of scars as a result of improper treatment of acne or after surgery.
To restore the skin on the body after a change in weight or as a result of hormonal changes in the body, laser plasma lifting is most often used, but the injection method of the procedure is not excluded. This technique is widely used to improve the condition of the hair, and in dentistry - in implantation and treatment of gums.
Preparation for the procedure and recovery period
No special preparation is required to inject skin rejuvenation. Procedures such as plasma lifting or biorevitalization do not involve the use of anesthesia or hospitalization of the patient. The surface of the skin, at the injection site, is subjected to anesthesia, which eliminates the occurrence of a painful reaction.
Plasmolifting, both before and after, does not cause any discomfort and does not affect the patient's normal rhythm of life. Slight swelling of the skin surface, which occurs in very rare cases at the injection site, disappears after 2-3 hours.
To achieve the desired anti-aging effect, at least 4 procedures are required, the interval between which must be at least 7 days. The end result is influenced not so much by the skills of the cosmetologist, but by the condition of the client's epidermis during treatment, his age and general health. During rejuvenation with the help of plasma lifting it is recommended to exclude stress, alcohol consumption, smoking, 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 course 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 a specialist and strictly follow all his advice. Positive dynamics is observed within two years after plasmalifting, but only if the patient does not expose the skin to negative influences, for example, does not abuse the solarium, conducts maintenance procedures and leads a healthy lifestyle.
