Question: “how do you feel about the plasma-lift procedure?” burning holes on the face and eyelids

I read the “cry from the heart” of a cosmetologist colleague about burning out eyelids with a portable plasma device (the “plasmalift” procedure) by the hands of people who have nothing to do with medicine, and applying colored patches to the face - I can’t help but support it. The shine and poverty of yet another advertising crap... Bonus: real prices for what they show you in the “Before and After” photo.

My clients also ask me about the “plasma lift” - burning holes on the eyelids and facial wrinkles for the purpose of supposedly “tightening” them.

• Do not confuse “ plasmalift ” - burning the skin with plasma (more precisely, a discharge of ionized gas from a primitive electrical apparatus), with the “ plasmolifting ” procedure - the use of the patient’s own blood plasma on the skin.

Because advertisements for such procedures have flooded social networks, spectacular photos are posted and women demand prices and immediate registration for the procedure.

Allegedly, they are braces, because the photos of the “Before and After” procedure are someone else’s, taken from the Internet or from master classes, where they teach batches to everyone in a couple of hours. And there is no evidence of what was done and how, and whether a friend named Photoshop, who is very active on social networks, took part in this. The plasma lift procedure is performed by people without medical care. education - I don’t know, in a fit of sincere madness or a thoughtful and cynical thirst for quick profit. They teach this “methodology” to anyone, even a cleaning lady. The device is cheap. And voila! You can raise money.

My opinion: dear future victims, you have one face. And the argument “But it’s fast and cheap!” in cosmetology there are actually arguments against, not pros. It will take a long time to explain, just take my word for it. With complications (swelling, infection, non-healing ulcers, paresis, keloid scars) and the cry of “Save!” then don’t run to a cosmetologist - whoever burned you is responsible.

Coagulators, laser resurfacing, and medium/deep chemical peels with comparable levels of impact are, in principle, not allowed to be performed by people without higher medical education. And distributors of legal portable plasma devices emphasize that only a doctor . And, of course, these plasma pens are not capable of achieving the results shown in the “Before and After” photo - this is a complete and absolute lie, which any dermatologist, cosmetologist or plastic surgeon will confirm to you. But the fact of the matter is that an educated specialist will only laugh in response to advertising lies, while a person without education will believe it.

Advertising lies:

Yes, the results shown in the photo are real, but they are the result of persistent efforts of many months, or even years, of work by doctors of the highest qualifications, using the most modern (and very expensive ) professional equipment, which only a clinic, not a private master, can afford to have. . And if we are talking about removing significant excess skin, it is always only surgery. From the patient, in turn, this requires enormous discipline, daily work and care, and, of course, not three kopecks of money.

And yet, plasma lifting – pros and cons?

Well-known specialist in plastic surgery, head of the department of cosmetology and plastic surgery of the Russian State University I.E.
Khrustaleva explains the existence of different opinions: “Plasmolifting is an accessible and popular method. Despite the relative simplicity of the technique, the effect of it is really present. However, many do not take into account the fact that the number of sessions plays a big role in the effectiveness of the method, as well as what is added to the autoplasma in the test tube. From the outside, the procedures are practically no different from each other, but the effect is different for everyone

Why? Yes, because there is no clearly defined PRP technique approved by the Ministry of Health. As a result, Plasma LIFT does not pose any danger, but as for the benefits, it’s different for everyone.”

Professor, Doctor of Medical Sciences R.R. Akhmerov, who was at the origins of plasma lifting, insists that plasma injections do not cause any harm to the body, including in terms of oncology. It is he who indicates that for a real and lasting effect one procedure may not be enough: it is ideal to use about 4 sessions, only then can we talk about a positive and visible result. One or two sessions can guarantee only 60% results.

Indeed, many specialists are trying to combine autoplasma prepared for PRP with various additives: amino acids, hyaluronic acid, vitamin complexes. It is difficult to draw conclusions about the safety of Plasma LIFT. But, unfortunately, apart from clinical observations, no other studies have been conducted on this topic.

Of course, the desire of almost all women to look, as they say, 100%, is an incentive for the development of more and more new technological methods of rejuvenation. Every day, scientists are working on new cosmetological techniques that can restore youth and stop the development of age-related changes. Of course, before giving consent to the use of a particular method, it is necessary to thoroughly study it, evaluate possible contraindications and consequences. Unfortunately, women often do not think about this, mentally imagining only the possible visual effect.

Before going for plasma therapy, a woman should clearly understand what she expects from Plasma LIFT. As practice shows, plasma lifting restores damaged cellular structures and renews them. That is, after the injection session, the skin will become lighter, more elastic, and cleaner. Wrinkles will become less noticeable, and small ones will disappear completely.

But it is important to understand that PRP is not a lift: sagging breasts will not be lifted, and a double chin will not be reduced

Plasmolifting is, first of all, a medical procedure, the purpose of which is to heal and restore damaged cells. Therefore, you should trust your health only to good, reputable doctors who will explain all the intricacies of Plasma LIFT, assess the body’s capabilities and its general condition, which will allow you to avoid negative consequences and complications in the future.

Who made Plasmajet

We present to your attention reviews of people who have experienced the effect of the Plasmajet derma device
Irina, 36 years old.

Most popular: Revi drug - a method for correcting age-related changes

Maria, 18 years old.

Good day to all. At the age of 15, like many teenagers, I developed acne. For two years I struggled with this problem, because I was very annoyed by my peers, and it was unpleasant for me. The rash was almost all over my face. My mother and I went to a cosmetology center to see a dermatologist, who recommended a course of plasma treatment. And it was worth it. For more than 6 months I have been walking around with clean skin on my face without using any cosmetics. I am very glad that I was cured. I had 7 sessions and that was it. There were no rashes.

Susanna, 45 years old.

Hello, a friend of mine has been suffering from second-degree diabetes mellitus for 15 years. And as a result, one of the complications began to appear ulcers on the legs. At first he endured it, but then the pain became unbearable. He began drinking alcohol in large quantities to numb the pain. Our mutual friends recommended the PlasmaJet device for his treatment. He agreed and did several procedures. As a result, the ulcers began to disappear without leaving scars. He still continues to do procedures to complete the course of treatment. But I’m glad that he went for this procedure and no longer experiences pain. The main thing is not to give up.

Sofia, 51 years old

Good afternoon. Girls, I wanted to talk about how I radically changed my life at 50 years old. I am no longer a young girl. Old age has caught up with me. And in addition to it, there are a lot of wrinkles on my face, which can’t help but worry me. Time flies so quickly, and I still want to catch the admiring glances of men on me. And so, I went to the Internet to regain at least some of my youth. Effective plasma rejuvenation was the first thing I saw, but I ignored it because I thought it was a hoax. I tried everything I could, but it didn’t even get to the point of surgery, I’m afraid to go under the knife. I decided to try my luck and signed up for a plasma rejuvenation session. I'm still in shock. I look 10-15 years younger, and I feel another 20 years younger. I have a loved one, and I have never been happier. If in a few long years old age catches up with me again, I know exactly what to do about it.

What is plasma rejuvenation, description of the procedure

Ultrasonic facial peeling: everything about the procedure
Plasma hardware rejuvenation is a spot treatment of the face with plasma energy, which is produced under the influence of the Plasmaliner device. The device resembles a regular ballpoint pen with a tip. The principle of operation is based on the release of argon plasma - the result of ignition of argon.

Under the influence of high temperature and electric current, gaseous substances are ionized. The device ensures deep penetration of plasma into the dermal structures without injury or damage. After the first procedure, the dermal layer is rejuvenated due to increased cell regeneration and increased muscle tone.

Under the influence of the plasmaliner, the upper layers of the epidermis are polished, the skin is renewed, and the problem of cosmetic and pathological facial defects is solved. In addition to the aesthetic effect, ions have an antibacterial and immunostimulating effect.

What is plasma-liner needed for?

The plasmaliner has a complex effect on the condition of the skin, which is expressed in the following actions:

• smoothing wrinkles;
• lifting effect, tightening;
• reduction of external defects: scars, scars, acne marks;
• normalization of the sebaceous glands;
• formation of cheekbones and chin;
• improvement of complexion.

The peculiarity lies in the delayed effectiveness of the cosmetological method. For minor defects in the dermis, 1-2 sessions are sufficient; for aging skin with significant changes, more than 5 procedures are required. The final results must be assessed only 1-2 months after completion of the course, it is then that the subcutaneous structures are completely renewed and natural rejuvenation begins.

Advantages of plasma facial rejuvenation using the plasma-liner device

The key advantage of lifting rejuvenation is its non-invasive effect and minimal trauma to the dermal layers. There is no need for thorough preparation, just an examination by a cosmetologist is enough. Other benefits are:

• safety, low risks of side effects;
• stimulation of the deep subcutaneous layers’ own resources for rejuvenation;
• complete renewal of the surface epithelium;
• rejuvenation.

The procedure is suitable for women for whom injection methods of rejuvenation, surgery, and some cosmetic procedures are contraindicated. Another advantage is the affordability even for a full course of plasmaliner treatment.

The essence of Plasma BT technology

The basis of the plasma blepharoplasty method is the sublimation method - the transition of a substance from a solid state to a gaseous state, bypassing the stage of the liquid state. Plasma consists of charged particles, electrons, neurons, ions, ozone and neutral atoms.

The method has a delicate effect on the skin, unlike surgical and hardware blepharoplasty. It is absolutely safe and very effective.

Plasma blepharoplasty is performed with a special Plasma BT device, consisting of a color touchscreen liquid crystal display and a surgical attachment. Charged particles act pointwise, completely eliminating the possibility of affecting surrounding tissues.

Plasma BT operates with a plasma arc. It can reduce skin area without surgery.

Indications for Plasma BT plasma blepharoplasty are:

1. 1. Clinical signs of aging:

• drooping eyebrows,
• crow's feet,
• dark circles around the eyes,
• loss of eyelid crease,
• excess skin
• bags under the eyes.

1. 2. Skin defects: papillomas, spots, acne.
2. 3. Hernias of the eyelids.
3. 4. Chronic edema associated with poor functioning of the heart and kidneys and causing sagging skin.
4. 5. Bruises under the eyes.
5. 6. Pigmentation of the skin around the eyes.

Plasmolifting: what is it?

Indications and contraindications for the kidney dialysis procedure

Unlike thermolifting, reviews of which we have already introduced you to on the website, plasma lifting does not apply to hardware methods of rejuvenation. This is a procedure that, like mesotherapy, involves introducing a drug (in the case of plasma lifting, the patient’s own blood is injected) into problem areas of the skin using injections - subcutaneously using injections with thin needles.

The first attempts to use the biostimulating properties of blood in medicine were made 100 years ago.

Then people learned about autohemotherapy: blood taken from the patient was injected into the muscle. Such a “shake-up” indeed triggered metabolic processes and helped strengthen the immune system, but due to the fact that dangerous substances entered the body along with the blood, this method did not gain popularity.

The use of plasma for aesthetic purposes began relatively recently, so plasma lifting can be considered a relatively new technology in cosmetology. With plasma lifting - reviews confirm this - unlike autohemotherapy, the blood for injection is purified, leaving only the plasma - a part enriched with platelets. Plasma will stimulate the process of rejuvenation and restoration of the skin.

Now let's focus on a very important point. The name of the procedure “plasmolifting” often misleads those who believe that this is one of the skin tightening procedures - after all, the second component of the word “lifting” implies exactly this

But plasma lifting for the face, reviews will convince you of this, is ineffective without combination with other technologies!

The name of the procedure “plasmolifting” often misleads those who believe that this is one of the skin tightening procedures - after all, the second component of the word “lifting” implies exactly this. But plasma lifting for the face, reviews will convince you of this, is ineffective without combination with other technologies!

What the result depends on and what you should really expect from plasma lifting, you will learn further.

Where and how is blood taken for plasma lifting?

White wen on the eyelids: causes of appearance and effective treatment methods

The injection drug that produces a therapeutic effect is the patient’s own blood, more precisely, platelet-rich plasma. Modern scientific research has confirmed that it is considered the most powerful biostimulant that helps restore metabolic processes in tissues, form new cells, and improve blood supply.

Cells that are located deep under the skin - fibroblasts, after the introduction of an additional dose of plasma, begin to intensively secrete proteins that make the skin firm and elastic.

In other words, the introduction of plasma helps to increase the amount of collagen and elastin - cells that make our skin young and toned.

During plasma lifting, blood is taken from a patient’s vein - an average of 8 ml, placed in special, pre-treated tubes and sent to a centrifuge, where the tubes rotate.

As a result of this procedure, the blood is divided into parts: white (it is enriched with platelets) rises to the top, and red (it contains red blood cells) sinks to the bottom. The substance with which the test tubes are treated prevents blood from clotting, prevents the lower and upper parts from mixing, and also purifies the plasma.

8 ml of blood is enough for the face, neck and décolleté if facial plasma lifting is done, reviews of which are in the article.

“The centrifuge is very small and reminded me of a regular egg boiler. 2 test tubes are placed there. It rotates 3800 revolutions in 10 minutes - that’s what they told me at the clinic. During this time, the blood has time to separate. Marge."

Before and after plasma lifting

Advantages and disadvantages of non-surgical techniques compared to surgery

Non-surgical blepharoplasty has many advantages over procedures that require surgery.

1. Anesthesia is not required during the procedure.
2. There is no need to stay in the clinic for a long time.
3. There are no visible or hidden incisions.
4. The rehabilitation period is easier and shorter.
5. There is no risk of bleeding.
6. Price policy.

Among the shortcomings are the elimination of minor defects. Non-surgical blepharoplasty removes only small excess fat and smoothes out shallow wrinkles. Therefore, this procedure is not suitable for women over 50 years of age. In this case, it is more advisable to resort to surgical blepharoplasty.

Types of devices

The most popular models of devices for plasma manipulations:

Plasmajet Derma. A device produced by the English company Plasma Surgical heats the lower layers of the dermis to 50 °C. The patient does not feel pain, but a pleasant breeze of a light breeze. No anesthesia is required. Plasmajet m103 improves skin tone, improves its color and stimulates collagen production - this process actively continues for a year after the procedure. Ions destroy pathogens and have a beneficial effect on blood microcirculation. In addition to cosmetology, the device is used in surgery, dermatology, and gynecology.

PlasM. The German device makes the skin fresher and younger, removes the consequences of unsuccessful tattooing, tightens the lips, chin, cheeks, performs a mini-lift, and eliminates wrinkles. The buyer receives free training. The company provides service during the warranty period and after it.

JETT PLASMA LIFT or Jet plasma lift medical. The Czech device enhances the skin's immunity and strengthens it. Effective against expression lines and age wrinkles. Helps reduce stretch marks, scars, age spots, rosacea, acne. JET medical is used on the face, chest, hands. The effect of application is noticeable already on the 2nd day and increases over the course of six months. About a week should pass between procedures (between the 1st and 2nd - 3 days).

PLAXPOT. It has increased electrical safety and a color display that expands the viewing angle. Does not damage tissue and triggers skin renewal mechanism. Provides long-term results and fights wrinkles, freckles, acne, seborrheic warts and other blemishes. Removes tattoos and tightens eyelid skin. The device is assembled in Korea. It is considered multifunctional because it is also used in dentistry.

Plasma liner. One of the most popular devices for contactless rejuvenation using plasma. Manufactured in Germany and has certificates of conformity relevant for Europe and Russia. Unlike inexpensive devices, Plasma Liner does not burn the skin, but synthesizes collagen production. The result lasts about 2 years. When using, an anesthetic cream must be applied. The patient feels an instant surge of warmth in the place where the cosmetologist works with the plasma liner. The dermis is immediately cooled, so the device does not harm its deeper layers. The range of applications of the plasma liner is wide: from smoothing wrinkles and tightening the skin on the face, chest, and abdomen to eliminating papillomas and safe blepharoplasty.

You can purchase any plasma lifting device via the Internet on the official website of the distributor, as well as on online platforms that sell laboratory and medical equipment. The cost is clarified after submitting an application or calling the manager, often after registering for training. Not every person will be able to find out the amount of the plasma liner, but only a professional who has confirmed his qualifications.

Blepharoplasty Plasma BT

The essence of the effect of the “Plasma Surgical” attachment is to reduce the area of ​​eyelid skin. In this case, there is no direct surgical impact. The body itself tightens the skin.

Indications for non-surgical plasma blepharoplasty:

1. Elimination of wrinkles around the eyes, upper and lower eyelids.
2. Removal of skin defects: acne, papillomas, age spots.
3. Skin tightening, removal of bags under the eyes.

During the procedure, an arc of plasma is formed between the needle and the surface of the skin, which resembles lightning. The plasma arc destroys unwanted formations on the skin and tightens the skin without damaging surrounding tissue. Wound healing occurs very quickly.

The thin tip of the device - a needle - acts precisely on the skin. It forms tiny points at a certain distance from each other. Skin sublimation occurs at every point. Plasma exposure does not cause bleeding or damage tissue. Under the tiny dots, the skin heals quickly while the skin contracts. Thus, the skin is tightened.

Small scales fall off on their own after a few days, usually 3-5. The effect of plasma blepharoplasty is noticeable after 2-3 weeks.

The plasma blepharoplasty procedure is performed under local anesthesia.

Healing

After peeling, you need to pay attention to recovery. If everything is done correctly, the rehabilitation period will pass without dangerous complications.

After the procedure, slight redness of the treated areas is observed. It can last an hour, sometimes longer. The swelling lasts for several days. Plasma-treated areas turn red and become covered with a thin crust, which disappears within a week.

Within 5 days after plasma lifting, careful skin care is necessary. General recommendations:

• do not wet your face with water (you must be especially careful when taking a shower);
• do not use wound-healing drugs - they can worsen the condition of the epidermis;
• do not use decorative cosmetics;

Decorative cosmetics are prohibited

• until the face is completely healed, do not visit the solarium, swimming pool, or beach;
• It is prohibited to visit any places with high ambient humidity;
• apply sunscreen for 3 months after the scabs fall off;
• If wrinkles around the eyes have been smoothed out, you need to wear sunglasses against ultraviolet radiation.

Skin sublimation

Using a needle nozzle, a special mesh is applied, creating light burns. These burns facilitate the penetration of plasma under the skin, after which wrinkles are smoothed out and skin defects disappear.

After the procedure, brown crusts remain on the eyelids, which will disappear within a few days.

Plasma Pen

Cosmetology device Plazmopen for plasma blepharoplasty.
The average cost is 6,000 rubles. Country of origin: China. It is worth noting that Plasmopen for hardware cosmetology will not achieve a long-term effect. The procedure will need to be repeated regularly. Also, approximately 20% of users noticed that there was no visible effect the first time.

Historical facts

The fact that blood has long been considered a miraculous rejuvenating elixir is evidenced by some historical facts:

• The ancient Romans consumed the blood of killed gladiators, and in China the blood of young murdered youths was highly valued.
• Many are familiar with the myth of the sorceress Medea, who restored youth with a blood transfusion.

As you can see, people have always subconsciously understood that blood somehow affects the aging process, and tried to find a way to use it to restore youth.

Modern research is gradually revealing the mechanisms of aging of the body, finding more and more new rejuvenation technologies, one of which is plasma lifting. You will read reviews and opinions of users and specialists about this method of rejuvenation using a person’s own blood in the article.

Plasmolifting is called the “elixir of youth” on the websites of modern cosmetology clinics.

Is it so? Let's get acquainted with the reviews of experts.

Opinion of cosmetologists

Experts constantly say that it is better not to perform non-surgical blepharoplasty at home.

Thus, one cosmetologist focuses on the fact that later you will still have to see a doctor to treat the consequences of home hardware procedures

Preparation and implementation of plasma lifting

Before visiting a doctor, you need to do a general blood test. Based on its results, the doctor will judge the possibility of plasma lifting. At your screening interview, you should tell your doctor about any chronic medical conditions and medications you are taking. He may recommend undergoing additional medical examination. The success of treatment sessions largely depends on proper preparation, which should begin approximately 2-3 days before the appointed date:

• give up salty, spicy and fatty foods, marinades, spices and seasonings;
• eliminate alcohol and cigarettes, minimize coffee consumption;
• drink more water (up to 1.5–2 liters per day);
• Stop intense sports for a while and avoid strenuous physical activity.

On the day of the session (it is usually scheduled for the morning), wash your hair. Do not eat anything, just drink one or two glasses of water - the procedure is carried out on an empty stomach.

Stages of the session

Plasmolifting is carried out under sterile conditions. Microneedles are used for injections, as in mesotherapy. Stages of implementation:

1. Blood is drawn from a vein into a special tube and placed in a centrifuge. If necessary, the isolated enriched plasma is supplemented with B vitamins. This stage takes 20–30 minutes.
2. The scalp is treated with an antiseptic.
3. The patient lies down on the couch and the doctor begins the injections. Plasma is injected to a depth of 1 mm, starting from the forehead. Then the lateral zones are processed and only then the occipital region. The procedure is completed with several injections into the parietal area. The punctures will be deeper in this place. This creates a kind of plasma depot, from where useful substances will gradually flow to the desired areas even when the effect of smaller injections ends.
4. The injection sites are once again treated with an antiseptic.

Processing blood in a special centrifuge increases the concentration of platelets in plasma by 4–8 times.
According to reviews, the pain during the session is tolerable, but the discomfort will be stronger if vitamins are added to the plasma. In this case, the doctor suggests using local anesthesia. The duration of the session is 40–60 minutes, during which time the doctor makes up to 60 injections.

What not to do after a plasmatherapy session

Rehabilitation after the session is not necessary, but you will have to follow a few rules if you want the effect to be maximum:

• wash your hair only 1–2 days after the procedure;
• do not go out into the sun or cold with your head uncovered;
• immediately after the session, do not touch or massage the scalp;
• For 5-7 days, do not make hair masks containing irritating ingredients - mustard, pepper and the like.

For a week after plasma lifting, refrain from hot water procedures.

During the course, it is advisable to abandon all types of heat styling. When it is complete, you can keep your hair in good condition by massaging the scalp and taking a vitamin complex recommended by your doctor.

The effect of plasma lifting

Doctors say that you should not expect a miracle from plasma therapy. Enriched plasma simply awakens the internal forces of the body and directs them to the right place. According to experts, plasma lifting solves hair problems in more than 70% of cases. But it, for example, cannot stop physiological daily hair loss.

The procedure helps stop intense hair loss and promotes the active growth of new hair.

Trichologists recommend taking a course of 3-6 sessions, the minimum number is 2 procedures. They can be done at intervals of 2–3 weeks. The effect lasts from 1.5 to 2 years. Then, to consolidate the result, doctors recommend taking another 2-3 courses. If hair loss is caused by internal problems (diseases or hormonal imbalances), then simultaneously with plasma therapy, the true cause must be eliminated.

The price of plasma therapy depends on the level of the clinic, the qualifications of the doctor and the region. The cost of treatment ranges from 3 to 10 thousand rubles per session. The high cost is associated with high efficiency and high demand for the service. You can pay immediately for the course or for one session. However, it's worth keeping in mind that paying a one-time fee could save you money. Many clinics provide discounts for this case. Lower prices should make you wary. If you are asked for less than 3 thousand rubles per session, then it is better to refuse the services of such cosmetologists.

How much does youthful skin in the eye area cost?

BB prices depend on:

• region;
• clinic and specific specialist;
• drugs and equipment used;
• the actual condition of the skin in the area around the eyes;
• recommended number of sessions;
• whether or not the cost of anesthesia is included in the cost of the procedure.

Cost of procedures:

• Thermage treatment of the upper or lower eyelids can cost from 2 to 65 thousand rubles;
• BB injection techniques cost from 8 to 95 thousand rubles;
• prices for laser BB can reach 120 thousand rubles.

I have all the indications for non-surgical blepharoplasty: a) age-related changes in the area around the eyes, potentially amenable to correction using BB methods; b) the desire to look younger; c) some monetary savings. But, in addition to this, I have: 1. A categorical reluctance to destroy anything in oneself (even if it is only collagen fibers in the area around the eyes). 2. Contraindications to any type of massage (this happens if the body is predisposed to tumor formation).3. My best friend is a cosmetologist. Therefore, having thoughtfully studied Internet sources and having matured to injection blepharoplasty as the only available option, I went to my friend. I explained to her that biological destruction of cells using temperature was not my way, and she warmly agreed with me. I complained about the inability to use manual blepharoplasty, and she sympathized with me. Then I enthusiastically started talking about injectable BB, and suddenly my friend interrupted me. She asked if I knew that: a) any puncture of the skin represents an injury that subsequently triggers the recovery process, and this is what the so-called negative stimulation mechanism is based on; b) point fibrosis inevitably occurs at the puncture site - replacement of the skin with connective scar tissue , consisting of not very “correct” collagen. And doesn’t this newfound knowledge confuse me, an opponent of all kinds of biological destruction? But seriously, my cosmetologist friend should warn that any injured areas are always weakened areas. And there are no exceptions here. And yet, no one knows how in ten years these weakened areas will behave against the background of others aging in a normal way without any shocks. And she, a friend, advises me to sleep with this knowledge and thoughts about it. And I obeyed. And I thought for a long time. And as a result, I decided to continue to make do with used tea bags, ice cubes, creams, masks and gel patches. And then - so be it. At the end of the day, you need to age with dignity. How, by the way, do everything else.

Memories of significant events in our lives are very important. But it is equally important that they are kept in a family album and do not leave marks on our faces

So if you decide to erase the memory of past years, accumulated in wrinkles under the eyes and crow's feet, with the help of non-surgical blepharoplasty - go for it. Let your look always be young, radiant and open, and only your passport knows about your age, which you will not show to anyone.

What is plasma lifting and how does it work on hair?

Plasmolifting, or hair plasma therapy, is a medical procedure that has a cosmetic effect. It is based on the injection of the patient's own plasma into the skin under the hair. Before the session, blood is taken from him and placed in special test tubes in a separator centrifuge. During rotation at high speed, the plasma is separated from the formed elements of the blood. The therapeutic effect is due to its saturation with platelets, proteins, lipids, enzymes, hormones and vitamins. Platelets are responsible for more than just blood clotting. They contain growth factors - special proteins that trigger cell division and tissue renewal.

The essence of the method is that the therapy is carried out with plasma - a biological substance of a transparent or yellowish color.

As a result of treatment, the death of hair follicles is stopped, their nutrition is improved, which promotes the growth of new hair and restoration of its thickness. Revitalization of the bulbs, increased local immunity and active cellular renewal allow the formation of a strong and elastic hair shaft. The shine of the hair returns, it becomes softer and more manageable.

What hair problems can plasma therapy solve?

Trichologists use the technique to eliminate the following problems:

• diffuse alopecia (severe hair loss);
• hair damage due to traumatic cosmetic procedures - frequent bleaching, perm, various types of heat styling;
• to strengthen weak, thin, split ends and poorly growing hair;
• to eliminate dandruff and treat different types and stages of seborrhea.

The procedure is suitable for women and men who have no contraindications to plasma therapy. Doctors recommend it to men with androgenetic alopecia. There are no age restrictions for this type of treatment; only health status matters.

A relative disadvantage of plasmolifting can be considered its high cost, delayed results (it is visible after 2-3 sessions) and possible complications from incorrectly administered injections.

Contraindications

If a person is healthy, plasma lifting has no absolute contraindications. However, there are conditions in which it is better to postpone the procedure:

• the period of bearing a child and breastfeeding;
• acute infectious diseases;
• microtraumas in the processing area;
• menstruation;
• taking antibiotics and anticoagulants;
• deviations from normal blood parameters.

The procedure will have to be abandoned if you have the following chronic diseases:

• oncological;
• phlebeurysm;
• blood diseases;
• hepatitis and liver failure;
• HIV;
• cardiovascular diseases.

This hair treatment is not suitable for those who suffer from autoimmune diseases. Autohemotherapy stimulates the immune system and can dramatically worsen the patient's condition. Very rare side effects include an allergic reaction to the anticoagulant contained in the plasma tube to reduce clotting.

How to choose a clinic

Plasma therapy is a medical procedure that cannot be performed in a regular beauty salon. Before you sign up for a session and pay money, ask whether the institution has a license to provide relevant medical services (dermatovenereology, cosmetology), and whether the specialist conducting the therapy has a medical education and a certificate of completion of specialized training. This is the only way to be sure that you will undergo the procedure correctly and use high-quality professional equipment.

Blood plasma must have certain characteristics, and they can only be obtained using high-quality professional equipment

Side effects

Minor side effects include:

• tearfulness - occurs when the tear ducts narrow and in such cases they may need to be widened using a special probe;
• subcutaneous hematoma - if it does not go away on its own, pumping out the blood accumulated at the site of the hematoma is used;
• allergic reaction - antihistamines are prescribed.

Any consequences of non-surgical blepharoplasty are a reason to consult a doctor. Delayed diagnosis can lead to more serious complications.

Severe side effects

They appear extremely rarely, as a rule, if the procedure was performed by an inexperienced doctor.

These include:

• Sagging lower eyelid. It is treated either with massage or surgery.
• Retrobulbar hematoma. It is a consequence of contusion of the orbit or eye tissue. The result is protrusion and limited mobility. If not treated promptly, vision may deteriorate.
• Conjunctivitis and other inflammatory processes. In such cases, special anti-inflammatory drugs are prescribed.
• Bifurcation of objects. Goes away without treatment within 2–3 weeks. But observation by an ophthalmologist is mandatory.

What is facial plasmolifting?

Plasma therapy, or PRP therapy, is an innovative procedure developed by Russian scientists. It is used in various fields of medicine - both for treatment and for rehabilitation after serious illnesses.

This innovative development, which does not require the use of expensive drugs, is also in demand in cosmetology.

The idea is that plasma saturated with platelets is injected under the skin using injections - they release growth factors that help restore tissue from the inside. Regeneration occurs thanks to the intensive production of stem cells, collagen and hyaluronic acid.

Plasmolifting is recommended if you have the following aesthetic problems:

• Skin hyperpigmentation;
• Flabbiness and decreased elasticity;
• Dull complexion;
• Wrinkles (facial and age-related);
• Cuperosis (vascular network);
• Acne and other rashes;
• Psoriasis and other dermatological pathologies.

It is important to be in good health at the time of the procedure so that the plasma is as beneficial as possible.

Therefore, plasma therapy has a number of contraindications:

• Current antibiotic use;
• Oncological pathologies;
• Flu and viral infections;
• Decreased immunity;
• Hepatitis;
• Blood diseases and bleeding disorders;
• Chronic diseases in the acute stage;
• Mental disorders;
• Autoimmune thyroid diseases;
• Rheumatoid arthritis;
• Menstruation;
• Pregnancy and lactation period.

If, in addition to antibiotics, the patient is taking any medications, it is necessary to consult with a doctor about whether they should be discontinued some time before the plasma therapy session.

And, in any case, a few days before the procedure, you need to exclude fatty, fried, salty, and alcohol from your diet. At the same time, you need to drink as much water as possible.

Plasmolifting of the face is done on an empty stomach. And for two weeks after the session it is recommended to refrain from visiting the bathhouse or solarium. Also, do not swim in ponds or pools.

Pros of plasma lifting

Like every aesthetic procedure, plasma therapy has its advantages and disadvantages.

The advantages include:

• Naturalness and safety of the process. This anti-aging technique involves using only the patient's plasma.
• The quality of the skin noticeably improves: tone is evened out, hydration and elasticity increase, which helps slow down the aging process.
• Effectively copes with acne and post-acne. Plasmolifting also “erases” pigment spots.
• The face becomes significantly younger due to the fact that the oval is tightened and the contours are improved. In addition, puffiness goes away and circles under the eyes disappear, which give any person an haggard appearance, adding years to his real age.
• The technique can be combined with other anti-aging procedures.
• Used for rehabilitation after chemical peelings and laser resurfacing.
• The tissues are saturated with oxygen, and elastin and collagen begin to be produced more intensively.
• Allergic reactions are excluded, since the patient's own blood is used.
• The effect is noticeable after the first session.
• No rehabilitation is required and side effects are minimal.
• The results last a long time. If you complete the full course of procedures, the rejuvenating effect can last up to two years.

Does it hurt?

Preparation for the plasma lifting procedure

Before the procedure itself, it is necessary to carry out a number of sanitary and pain-relieving measures.

1. Treatment of the face with a washing solution.

2. Application of Emla anesthetic. I'm not sure it helps me cope with pain. Previously, I remember, it was useless. Having carried out the first procedure with anesthesia, and the rest without it, I did not feel any difference.

But, according to Yulia Svyatoslavovna, EMLA has now, after repeated complaints to the manufacturer, become better and works well. Either they adjusted the composition, or strengthened control over production.

Covering with film for better penetration of all zones in turn. Forehead.

Chin.

Cheekbones. The film is ordinary food film. We wait 15 minutes for pain relief.

3. Residues of “Emla” are removed and antibacterial treatment is carried out with Miramistin. The tingling has not gone away, the face is “burning”. Too delicate skin. I remembered the peeling, after which there were almost holes left.

Stages of plasma lifting

The procedure is carried out in medical institutions and clinics that have permission for this type of activity, whose specialists have been trained in the technique. In addition, there must be an equipped room that allows all manipulations to be carried out under aseptic conditions, specialized equipment and consumables.

Preparation

1-2 weeks before the procedure, you should undergo examination to the required extent: a general and biochemical blood test, a blood test for the presence of infections (AIDS, hepatitis, etc.), and evaluate the blood coagulation system. Additional tests are recommended by a doctor.

Before the procedure, 1-2 days before, you should avoid fried and fatty foods, foods with spices and preservatives, alcoholic beverages, and drink plenty of clean water. Patients come to the clinic on an empty stomach.

As for taking medications, the doctor must tell you which ones will have to be stopped (most often these are corticosteroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, anticoagulants).

Stages (how the procedure is done)

• Obtaining autoplasma enriched with platelets (PRP). The patient's peripheral venous blood is used. For the procedure, you will need no more than 20-50 ml of whole blood, which is taken on an empty stomach, placed in a special tube with a preservative and processed in a centrifuge. During processing, the blood is divided into separate fractions with different densities: PTP: platelet-poor plasma;
• PRP: platelet layer or platelet-rich plasma (about 1,000,000/μl of platelets);
• erythrocyte and leukocyte mass.

equipment requirements

Receiving PRP is fully automated, which eliminates infection of the substance, and lasts about 10 minutes. The finished concentrate is drawn into a syringe for subsequent injection into the patient’s skin.

IMPORTANT! For the procedure, specialized centrifuges certified in the Russian Federation must be used (at least 5,000 rpm, centrifugal force acceleration - 1100-1500 g, position of the rotor speed regulator no more than 100 rpm). The test tubes are made of heat-resistant glass and contain a gel filler with anticoagulating properties.

Injections are performed with double-sided needles or specialized “butterfly” needles. It is acceptable to use the same needles as for mesotherapy with a three-component syringe and a catheter called a “butterfly”. Butterfly needles are disposable, have a silicone coating and an oblique cut with a very well sharpened tip, which makes insertion into tissue comfortable and painless. The needles contain a special latex-free, pyrogen-free, hypoallergenic catheter.

Duration and number of sessions

The session time depends on the area of ​​the skin being treated and lasts 30-60 minutes. The doctor will tell you how many procedures are needed at your first appointment. The standard course includes 4 injection sessions, which are carried out with a break of 1 week. Supportive procedures ensure prolongation of the effect of plasma lifting. Every year, 2 courses of plasma lifting are recommended to slow down the withering and aging of the skin and prolong youth. Some patients receive maintenance therapy monthly.
