A successful solution for age -related changes in facial skin, which engulfs the minds of half women, was discovered in 2004. The main component of the youth elixir is plasma with a high platelet content, which is released from the patient’s blood. Therefore, this technique is called plasma face lifting. This is about himself which will be discussed further.
The essence of the technique
Plasma face lift is an innovative technology to fight aging, mature skin. The technique is based on an injection of treated plasma obtained from a patient’s blood. This material is called platelet autoplasm. The injection miraculously activates the body’s ability to produce hyaluronic acid, collagen, stimulates accelerated stem cell division and has a beneficial effect on skin function.
Innovative techniques come to the field of cosmetology from medicine, thanks to scientists. Young plasma rejuvenation procedures (less than 20 years of age) are very popular and used in clinics renowned for their significant results and health safety.
Advantages and disadvantages of plasma lifting
The main advantage of the method of facial rejuvenation is its effective action from within the cell, reprogramming the process of regeneration, renewal of skin tissue, stimulating the synthesis of collagen and accelerated elastin fibers.
On the other hand, injection rejection, allergic reactions or side effects associated with the active ingredient are not included. 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 a small age limit. It is recommended for patients aged 25-60 years.
Disadvantages of lifting techniques include:
- any injection is a violation of the integrity of the skin surface, therefore there is a risk of infection;
- the procedure is accompanied by slight pain during blood sampling, injection directly into the skin;
- inadequate compliance and hygiene standards by the clinic, violation of disinfection of medical equipment (eg centrifugal tubes) threatens the possibility of infection with hepatitis virus, HIV, syphilis and other blood -borne diseases from previous clients;
- the risk of activation of a virus that is present in the blood and does not manifest itself in any way (e. g. , herpes);
You will not be able to see a direct effect on the first day. The body must initiate the mechanism of rejuvenation and regeneration of the dermis. So, with the expected effect, you have to persevere.

Plasma lifting will allow you to get rid of or reduce the following facial imperfections:
- stretch marks, scars;
- mimic, age wrinkles;
- vascular network;
- skin images with age;
- acne, psoriasis and dermatological diseases;
- excessive pigmentation;
- the need to accelerate tissue recovery after laser, chemical exfoliation, ablative rejuvenation procedures.
Unfortunately, the first visible improvement will be visible after a week. The rejuvenation process will take up to six months. However, you will be satisfied with the result:
- general impression of facial rejuvenation,
- radiant and healthy color;
- imitate, age wrinkles will disappear;

- hyperpigmentation, dry skin will disappear;
- facial contours will be tense, acquiring a clear outline;
- side effects from cosmetic procedures, ultraviolet burns will quickly disappear;
- the aging process will be slowed down due to an increase in the amount of collagen fibers synthesized, normalization of water balance in the cells, oxygen saturation and active skin regeneration function.
Contraindications to plasma lift
Plasmolifting is categorized as contraindicated with patient health disorders such as:
- acute and worsening chronic diseases;
- diabetes;
- infectious and autoimmune diseases;
- oncology;
- HIV infection,
- hepatitis B, C;
- pregnancy and lactation;

Plasma lifting procedure
It should be noted that this technique is carried out exclusively in specialized clinics, medical centers, using expensive equipment by qualified specialists. Performing the procedure at home is not possible.
Facial rejuvenation with this technique requires a preparatory stage. It provides:
- delivery of 4 blood tests: for HIV, hepatitis B, C and AT to Treponema pallidum (total). No need to take tests at the procedure clinic. Forms completed with stamps from other laboratories are also valid;
- collection of 10-20 ml of venous blood for therapeutic plasma production.
The injections are made at the clinic in front of the client and include the following steps:
- 1-2 disposable tubes filled with drawn blood are placed in a special small-sized centrifuge.
- The centrifuge begins to rotate rapidly, the blood is divided into several fractions, differing in density. This plasma is poor, rich in platelets and erythrocytes. The tube has a special coating, so that the blood does not clot.
- To lift plasma, only platelet -rich plasma (PRP) was used. The number of platelets in 1 ml of plasma reaches 1 million.
The injection preparation stage takes about 15 minutes to comply with the arrangement and process technology. Then the resulting material is injected with a syringe with a thin needle (as during mesotherapy) into the inner layer of the dermis, directly into the problem area.
Cases of non-invasive skin plasma ingestion are allowed. This technique provides distribution of the produced drug to the problem area without injection.
At the time of the plasma skin rejuvenation session requires 20-60 minutes, depending on the size of the defect being treated. It is recommended to repeat the injection session after 1-2 weeks. Typically, the plasma treatment course is 4-6 visits.
How to prepare for the procedure
Plasmolifting is a planned action, not a precise action. Taking a test and consulting a doctor is not everything. To achieve greater effectiveness of the procedure, 2-3 days before the procedure, it is recommended:
- refuses to take anti- and procoagulant drugs, aspirin and citramone;
- do not drink alcohol, do not smoke;
- drink more water (more than 2 liters a day);
- exclude fatty, spicy and unhealthy foods (e. g. chips), pay attention to anti-aging foods and fresh vegetables, fruits;
- physical activity, if possible, reduce or stop.
As for the day of plasmolifting, which is 3 hours before the start of the procedure is not desirable.
Subtleties and combinations with other rejuvenation methods
Absolute infertility, strict adherence by the clinic to septic and antiseptic requirements 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;
- certificate for plasma lifting.
The health safety and effectiveness of the technique depend on this.
Storage, freezing or transport of so plasma is not permitted. Therefore, it is important that the injection is made in front of you.
Bruises and hematomas may appear at the injection site. Don't worry, they will disappear in 2-3 days on their own.
No remedial measures are required. However, it is necessary to avoid excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation. It is better to postpone a visit to the solarium, sauna, swimming pool for a while.
Plasma removal is combined with laser facial skin rejuvenation. Many specialty clinics offer fractional technology in addition. This approach will enhance and prolong the effect achieved.
A comprehensive approach to skin aging
Do not rely solely on the results of plasma intake. Organize care, nutrition and a healthy lifestyle with proper sleep for up to 8 hours.
Don't forget about facial massage and gymnastics. Exercise like this keeps the skin tissue in good condition.
The plasma lifter allows you to continue using self-prepared anti-aging cosmetics. Many recipes are made from kelp or natural olive oil, rich in nutrients.
The cost of plasma rejuvenation
Plasmolifting is a relatively 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 relevant permit documentation. The excessive cost of the procedure is also unacceptable, possibly a violation by a technique patented by the clinic (imported equipment, test tubes - this is already a difference).
Carefully approach the selection of clinics to get the effect that will allow investment.
