A distinctive feature of plasmolifting, what it is, will be 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 regenerating, metabolic and immune systems takes place, and 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 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 quite 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. At the moment, plasma lifting is the only rejuvenation technique, after which there are no complications, and which has 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. Plasmolifting of the face begins with obtaining material for performing procedures. Blood is taken from a vein just before the manipulation. The blood undergoes a special treatment, as a result of which red blood cells are separated from the plasma and removed from it. Then the material is enriched with collagen and elastin. All these manipulations take no more than 15 minutes to complete.
The cosmetic plasmogel obtained in such a simple way, after being injected under the skin, acts as a building material. The record number of platelets, collagen and fibrin contained in it helps to replace obsolete fragments of the epidermis and stimulate the skin to create new cell chains, the production of fibroblasts and its own hyaluronic acid, which are responsible for the rejuvenation and restoration of the epidermis. Plasma enriched with platelets is used as a restorative material not only in cosmetology, but also in sports medicine, traumatology, and its effectiveness has been proven by time.
Indications for the procedure
The spectrum of efficiency of plasma injections is very wide. This method of skin rejuvenation and restoration is used for problems such as:
- change in facial contours, loss of elasticity and volume of the cheeks;
- the appearance of deep wrinkles of an age nature or as a result of facial features;
- increased pigmentation of the epidermis;
- decreased skin elasticity, including the 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 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 - when implanting implants and treating the gums.
Preparation for the procedure and the recovery period
No special preparation is required for injecting skin rejuvenation. Procedures such as plasma lifting or biorevitalization do not involve the use of anesthesia or keeping the patient in a hospital. The surface of the skin, at the injection sites, is subjected to application anesthesia, which excludes the appearance of a painful reaction.
Plasmolifting, both before and after it, does not cause any discomfort and does not affect the patient's usual rhythm of life. A slight swelling of the skin surface, which occurs in very rare cases at the injection sites, disappears after 2-3 hours.
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 influenced not so much by the skill of the cosmetologist as by the state 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 stress conditions, 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, which is recommended by a specialist, 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.
