A distinctive feature of plasmolifting, which 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, 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 blood plasma rejuvenation technique was developed by academics of plastic medicine and officially patented in 2003. Plasmolifting, as a PRP therapy method, has become widespread in cosmetology recently. Initially, the technique was used to restore bone tissue, and its beneficial effect on the epidermis was discovered by accident and the developers of the method described it as a side effect. At the moment, plasma lifting is the only rejuvenation technique, after which there are no complications and it 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 to perform the procedures. Blood is drawn from a vein just before manipulation. Blood undergoes special processing, 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 to complete.
The cosmetic plasmogel obtained in such a simple way, after being injected under the skin, acts as a construction material. The record amount of platelets, collagen and fibrin it contains helps to replace obsolete fragments of the epidermis and to 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 skin. epidermis. Platelet-enriched plasma is used as a restorative material not only in cosmetology, but also in sports medicine, trauma, and its effectiveness has been proven over time.
Indications for the procedure
The spectrum of efficacy of plasma injections is very broad. 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 the nature of age or as a result of facial features;
- increased pigmentation of the epidermis;
- decreased elasticity of the skin, 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 of the body, after a weight change 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 hair condition and in dentistry, when implanting implants and treating gums.
Preparation for the procedure and the recovery period.
No special preparation is required to inject the skin rejuvenation. Procedures such as plasma lift or biorevitalization do not involve the use of anesthesia or the maintenance of the patient in a hospital. The surface of the skin, at the injection sites, is subjected to the application of 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 must be at least 7 days. The end result is influenced not so much by the skill of the cosmetologist as by the condition of the client's epidermis at the time of treatment, her age and her general health. During rejuvenation with the help of plasma lifting, it is recommended to exclude stress conditions, alcohol consumption, smoking, in order to minimize the negative impact of the environment on the skin, and not to use decorative cosmetics containing aggressive substances.
The positive effect is noticeable after the first cycle of injections. But 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, performs supportive procedures and leads a healthy lifestyle.
