A successful solution to the age-related changes in the skin of the face, which excited the minds of the female half, was found in 2004. The main component of the youth potion is plasma, which contains high amounts of platelets from the patient's blood. Therefore, the technique is called plasma lifting. More will be said about him.
The essence of the technique
Plasma lifting is an innovative technology that fights aging, mature skin. The technique is based on the injection of treated plasma from the patient's blood. The substance is called platelet autoplasm. Injected hyaluronic acid magically activates the body's ability to produce collagen, stimulates the rapid division of stem cells and has a beneficial effect on skin function.
Thanks to scientists, a new technique came from medicine to cosmetology. A young plasma rejuvenation procedure (under the age of 20) is popular and is used in clinics known for its significant results and health safety.
Advantages and disadvantages of plasma lifting
The main advantages of the facial rejuvenation method are effective movement within the cells, regeneration, reprogramming of skin tissue renewal processes, stimulation of accelerated synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers.
In turn, rejection of the injection, allergic reactions or side effects associated with the active substance are excluded. The procedure involves only the patient's autoplasm - no foreign proteins or cellular components.
Can be combined with plasmolifting, RF facial stretching and other rejuvenation methods.
It should be noted that rejuvenation with processed plasma has small age limits. Recommended for patients aged 25-60 years.
Disadvantages of lifting equipment include:
- any injection is a violation of the integrity of the skin surface, so there is a risk of infection;
- The procedure is accompanied by a slight pain during blood injection, direct injection into the skin;
- Insufficient observance of sanitary and hygienic standards by the clinic, violation of disinfection of medical equipment (eg, centrifugal tubes) creates a risk of infection with viral hepatitis, HIV, syphilis and other diseases that can be transmitted from a previous client;
- risk of activation of viruses in the blood that do not manifest themselves in any way (eg, herpes);
You will not be able to see the immediate effect on the first day. The body must begin the mechanism of rejuvenation and regeneration of the dermis. Therefore, you will have to endure the expected effect.
Performance and positive effects of the technique
Plasma lifting will allow you to get rid of or significantly reduce the following facial imperfections:
- scars, stretch marks;
- imitation, wet wrinkles;
- vascular network;
- photos of aged skin;
- acne, psoriasis and dermatological diseases;
- excessive pigmentation;
- The need to accelerate tissue regeneration after laser, chemical peeling, ablative rejuvenation procedures.
Unfortunately, the first visible developments will be noticeable in a week. The rejuvenation process will last up to six months. But you will be satisfied with the results:
- General effects of facial rejuvenation,
- bright and healthy colors;
- imitate, wet wrinkles will disappear;
- facial tone and comfort will be corrected;

- hyperpigmentation, dry skin will disappear;
- the contours of the face will be compressed, will get a clear contour;
- side effects of cosmetic procedures, ultraviolet burns will disappear quickly;
- The aging process will be slowed down due to an increase in the amount of collagen fibers synthesized, normalization of water balance in cells, oxygen saturation and active regenerative function of the skin.
Contraindications to plasma removal
Plasmolifting is strictly contraindicated in patients with impaired health:
- acute and exacerbated chronic diseases;
- diabetes;
- infectious and autoimmune diseases;
- oncology;
- HIV infection,
- hepatitis B, C;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- blood clotting disorders, hemophilia;

Plasma lifting procedure
It should be noted that this technique is used only in specialized clinics, medical centers, expensive equipment by a qualified specialist. It is not possible to perform the procedure at home.
Rejuvenation of the face with this technique requires a preparatory phase. It provides:
- 4 blood tests: Treponema pallidum for HIV, hepatitis B, C and AT (total). It is not necessary to perform tests in the clinic of the procedure. A completed form with the seal of another laboratory is also valid;
- collection of 10-20 ml of venous blood for therapeutic plasma production.
The injection is performed in the clinic with the client and involves the following steps:
- 1-2 disposable tubes filled with blood are placed in a small special centrifuge.
- The centrifuge begins to rotate rapidly, splitting into several fractions that differ in blood density. These plasma is poor, platelet-rich plasma and erythrocytes. The tubes have a special coating, so blood does not clot.
- Only platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is used to raise plasma. The number of platelets in 1 ml of plasma reaches 1 million.
The preparation phase of the injection takes about 15 minutes, strictly following the rules and technology of the process. The resulting substance is then injected directly into the problem areas of the inner layers of the dermis with a thin needle syringe (as during mesotherapy).
Non-invasive skin plasma lifting is permitted. This technique allows the resulting drug to spread to problem areas without injection.
Plasma skin rejuvenation session takes 20-60 minutes, depending on the size of the defects being treated. It is recommended to repeat the injection session after 1-2 weeks. Typically, a course of plasma treatment is 4-6 visits.
How to prepare yourself for the procedure
Plasmolifting is a planned movement, not a temporary one. It's not all about getting tested and seeing a doctor. It is recommended 2-3 days before the procedure to get a higher effect from the procedure:
- refrain from taking antipsychotics and procoagulants, aspirin and citramon;
- do not drink alcohol, do not smoke;
- drink more water (more than 2 liters per day);
- Avoid fatty, spicy and unhealthy foods (eg chips), pay attention to anti-aging foods and fresh vegetables and fruits;
- reduce or stop physical activity if possible.
As for the day of plasmolifting, ie 3 hours before the procedure, it is undesirable.
Combination with subtlety & other rejuvenation techniques
Absolute infertility and strict adherence of the clinic to the requirements of septic and antiseptics are the main conditions of the procedure. Therefore, when choosing a clinic, be interested in the availability of relevant documents:
- permission to engage in medical activities;
- admission to the clinic to work with blood and its derivatives;
- plasma lifting certificate.
The safety of health and the effectiveness of the technique depend on it.
Ready plasma is not allowed to be stored, frozen or transported. Therefore, it is important that the injection is given in your presence.
Bruises and hematomas may appear at the injection sites. Don't worry, they will leave on their own in 2-3 days.
There is no need for rehabilitation measures. However, it is important not to overexpose yourself to ultraviolet radiation. It is better to postpone visits to the solarium, sauna, pool for a short time.
Plasma lifting is combined with laser skin rejuvenation. Many specialized clinics additionally offer fractional technology. This approach will increase and prolong the effect obtained.
A comprehensive approach to skin aging
Don't just rely on plasma lifting results. Get proper sleep, proper nutrition, and a healthy lifestyle for up to 8 hours with proper sleep.
Do not forget about massage and facial gymnastics. This type of exercise keeps the skin tissue in perfect shape.
Plasma lifting allows you to continue to use your own anti-aging cosmetics. Numerous recipes made from rich cabbage or natural olive oil.
The cost of plasma rejuvenation
Plasmolifting is a very expensive technique for skin rejuvenation. The reason for this is the purchase of expensive equipment and documents for its implementation.
The cost of the procedure depends on the size of the problem area and the reputation of the clinic. Be sure to check the availability of the appropriate permits. The overestimated cost of the procedure is also unacceptable, perhaps a violation of a technique patented by the clinic (imported equipment, test tubes - this is already a non-compliance).
Carefully consider the choice of a clinic to get an impact that will justify the investment.
