Plasma therapy is the injection of the patient’s own purified plasma under the skin. Several injections are made throughout the treatment area so that the distribution of plasma in the problem area is as uniform as possible. The procedure has a very beneficial effect on the skin, the main effect is stimulation of skin fibroblasts and the production of elastin and collagen. Visually, the skin tightens after a course of injections, becomes glowing and youthful in appearance.
Plasma, processed in a special way, contains a large number of platelets, which greatly activate metabolic processes in the place where they are injected. The complex effect of plasma therapy is the launch of self-rejuvenation from the inside. For this, the patient’s body’s own liquid, the “native” plasma, is used, so no rejection or allergy reaction occurs at the injection site.
Quite often, during plasma therapy, a course of injections of hyaluronic acid is simultaneously carried out, which restores the youthful volume of the skin, normalizes its moisture and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. In addition, microneedle injections have a stimulating effect on the process of tissue regeneration.
Plasma therapy can be performed not only on the face, but also on many other parts of the body (hips, buttocks, chest, arms, etc.). It allows you to tighten weakened and sagging skin and smooth out cellulite. Sometimes plasma injections are used to relieve excessive dryness of the genitals.
This method of rejuvenation not only gives a well-defined cosmetic effect, but also does not cause severe trauma and does not require long and complex rehabilitation. Patients can very quickly return to a normal lifestyle and usual activities.
Effect of plasma therapy
During experiments, scientists discovered that platelet autoplasma has the effect of an “elixir of youth.” When introduced into the skin, it stimulates the production of elastin and collagen, normalizes the supply of oxygen to tissues, makes the skin more moisture-filled, etc. All these effects do not remain visually invisible - the skin tightens, becomes elastic and moisturized, wrinkles are smoothed out.
Plasma therapy increases the local immunity of the skin, which has a beneficial effect on pustular and inflammatory diseases. In addition, there is a powerful stimulation of the regeneration of damaged tissue, so plasma therapy is sometimes used to accelerate the healing of skin damage.
Plasma therapy is used not only on the skin, but also on the mucous membranes. A very rapid tissue response is observed on the mucous membranes. But even in the skin, the very first effect (tissue response) is observed within two hours after injection. However, it takes time for collagen and elastin to grow, so the main effect appears after 1-2 weeks and then increases for some time. The effect of plasma therapy lasts from six months to a year, and sometimes more.
The greatest effect is observed in tissues directly in contact with the injection site (injection point). An important rule of the procedure is to completely “envelop” the entire area of tissue to be treated with plasma therapy. There should be no gaps.
How does Plasma Liner work?
Initially, a potential difference is created between the skin and the tip of the Plasma Liner device. Gases in the air are ionized and as a result a plasma flow is formed.
An ionized electric arc appears between the skin and the tip. It affects the tissue, thereby triggering the skin cell renewal mechanism. Due to the influence of plasma on tissues, small changes are carried out. Heat treatment promotes water loss in collagen fibers and their shrinkage. We can say that these fibers lose their ability to stretch.
The excess skin that formed after the procedure disappears. This leaves no blood or traces.
The difference between plasma therapy and PRP therapy
Plasma therapy and PRP therapy are procedures with the same principle of action, but slightly different in the material used. Their effect is also somewhat different. The main difference is the density of platelet concentration per microliter. processed plasma. For plasma therapy, plasma containing 200 - 4000 thousand platelets per μl is prepared, and for PRP therapy, plasma containing 1,000,000 platelets per μl is used.
Well, there are slight differences in the frequency of injections in the course - with plasma therapy they are given more often and the number per course is greater. The average standard course of plasma therapy includes 4 sessions with a frequency of 7-10 days (to maintain the result, 2 courses are done per year), and the standard average course of PRP therapy includes 3 sessions with a month interval between them (to maintain the result, the course is repeated once a year) .
What forms of plasma are used?
The native form is autologous plasma prepared using classical centrifugation technology. It is used most often in cosmetology practice. This plasma restores the water balance in the skin, reduces age-related changes and activates regeneration. This is the most biologically stimulating form of plasma.
Fibrin form of autologous plasma - heated at a temperature of 56C. As a result, fibrinogen irreversibly clots. The resulting fibrin form is a specific mesh matrix on which monocytes, fibroblasts and other cells accumulate, which activate collagen production. Fibroblasts attracted and accumulated on the injected fibrin significantly increase skin turgor and thicken it.
The gel form of autologous plasma is heated in a thermostat for 10 minutes to a temperature of 75-80 C. This plasma is injected into the deep layers of the dermis. It has the strongest effect of strengthening the skin by stimulating the formation of collagen and elastin fibers and best corrects age-related deformational changes. After administration, a lifting effect is observed that increases over several weeks.
Purpose of using Plasma Liner
Plasma-Liner is used for the following purposes:
- Perform blepharoplasty without surgery.
- Eliminate wrinkles that have appeared around the eyes. They are also called crow's feet.
- Remove wrinkles around the mouth.
- Remove age spots, fibroids, warts.
- Remove wrinkles that have appeared in the décolleté area.
- Remove sagging neck.
- Eliminate the belly that appeared after childbirth.
- Remove small keloid scars, stretch marks, scars.
- Remove poor quality tattoos.
Plasma-Liner easily copes with the following problem areas:
- lower, upper eyelid. The drooping eyelid rises, causing the gaze to become more open;
- wrinkles that are located between the eyebrows and on the forehead. The procedure ensures smoothing of these areas, but at the same time facial expressions are preserved;
- wrinkles in the décolleté area, on the neck. After the treatment, the skin ceases to be flabby, the “rings of Venus” disappear;
- wrinkles in the ear area. The plasma liner allows you to remove ear folds and also guarantees the return of tone;
- nasolabial folds. Plasma can slightly lift the corners of the lips, smooth out wrinkles that are located around the mouth;
- crow's feet. A procedure such as plasma lifting provides a slight lifting effect and smoothes out those wrinkles that are located in the corners of the eyes;
- papillomas. The growths are removed in a minute, without any traces;
- scars, stretch marks. Plasma hides the unevenness of the skin and makes its texture smoother.
How to prepare for the procedure
The first stage is a consultation with a doctor to determine the presence or absence of contraindications to plasma therapy. The doctor will prescribe a series of tests, which include a blood test, a biochemical blood test, and tests for hepatitis and HIV. If it is confirmed that there are no contraindications, then a week before the procedure you should stop peeling the areas to be treated and stop taking all medications (consult your doctor on this topic). Three hours before the session it is not recommended to have a heavy lunch or overeat.
How does the plasma therapy procedure work?
The patient comes into the office and lies down on the couch. The cosmetologist cleanses the skin of the face and applies a special anesthetic gel to numb the injections. Then, the doctor takes blood from the patient’s vein (8-36 ml) and immediately places the tube with it in a centrifuge. After 10-15 minutes of blood being in the centrifuge, plasma is separated. During this time, the anesthetic gel has time to take effect. The doctor immediately draws the plasma into a syringe with a thin needle and begins to inject evenly throughout the area to be treated. The procedure takes 45-60 minutes. After this, the doctor treats the skin with a disinfectant, soothing and wound-healing composition.
Rehabilitation
Mild pain and swelling of the treated tissues, which disappear completely after three days, are considered normal manifestations during the recovery period. To prevent complications, you need to avoid skin infection and sunburn, irritation from cosmetics or overheating in the bath.
Within two weeks after the session, the skin is completely restored, but since plasma therapy is carried out in courses with an interval of 7-10 days, the entire period between procedures and 14 days after the final session must adhere to some restrictions and rules in caring for damaged skin.
You should not use any cosmetics other than those prescribed by your doctor. It is forbidden to touch or scratch your face, as this will cause infection in the wounds. You should not sunbathe or visit a solarium, and when going outside you should use sunscreen or a wide-brimmed hat. Also, it is prohibited to visit the bathhouse and sauna. It is not recommended to drink alcohol, as it affects blood flow and the rate of skin regeneration. When choosing a sunscreen and regenerating cream, you should definitely consult your doctor.
Advantages of Plasma Liner
This procedure has its advantages:
- Allows you to tighten tissues and rejuvenate the skin. The effect is very noticeable;
- Can be used in different situations.
- Goes well with additional methods used for rejuvenation.
- The recovery process takes a maximum of 7 days.
- After the manipulation there are no bruises or burns.
- The result is noted after the first procedure and increases over the course of six months.
- The procedure is quite simple, Plasma Liner is very easy to use.
- The procedure takes up to 30 minutes.
- There are no side effects.
- It is possible to remove a skin flap that is superfluous.
- Can be used more than once until the desired result is achieved.
- The organs of vision and the human body remain completely safe during the procedure; there are no risks.
- It costs less than other types of plastic surgery.
Expected effect of plasma therapy
- The skin becomes elastic and fresh.
- Small wrinkles disappear.
- The complexion becomes more even.
- Pigment spots from tanning fade.
- The oval of the face is tightened.
- Scars on the skin are smoothed out a little.
- Sebum secretion is stabilized.
- Skin regeneration accelerates after peeling.
Multiple treatments are usually required to achieve the desired level of change. Their number is determined by the doctor depending on how the patient’s tissues respond to plasma therapy. For some people, the results are clearly visible within a couple of days, while for others, only after a couple of months. The degree of effect largely depends on age; at 30 years of age, the changes after plasma therapy are much more significant than at 60, although the quality of the skin improves in any case.
Scars and cicatrices are smoothed out due to the activation of the growth of new young skin structures. The combination of peeling followed by plasma therapy is especially effective for removing scars and post-acne. In this case, peeling cuts off old uneven structures, and plasma therapy stimulates active replacement with new young skin cells.
In any case, remember that the effect of plasma therapy increases gradually as collagen and elastin fibers are formed. They cannot grow in the first few days after the procedure. Therefore, the progressive development of improvements in skin turgor is clearly expressed.
The principle of operation of the innovative technology of the Plasma Pen device
Plasma-Pen equipment , which can be purchased in one wedge in our online store, is nothing more than an alternative to blepharoplasty . This technology uses the method of air ionization, due to which the plasma itself is formed . It is these charged particles that do not heat the surrounding tissue and clearly affect problem areas. The plasma-pen device is equipped with a special needle nozzle , with which a fine mesh is applied to problem areas . It is she who performs the so-called burn of the problem area, for example, when rejuvenating the skin of the eyelids . Due to this, small scales form on the skin, which disappear within three days. For each new procedure, sterile needles are used, intended for one-time use . After the procedure with the plasma-Pen device , the treated area must not be overheated or wet.
Stages of the procedure
Before starting the procedure, the plasma-Pen device cleanses the skin of impurities and makeup. Then, the required area is treated with an antiseptic. Be sure to apply a local anesthetic in the form of a cream. After which you need to wait 15-20 minutes for the maximum effect of the anesthetic and you can begin the procedure. Wrinkle correction and eyelid lifting for patients are carried out as loyally as possible. The plasma-Pen device is brought to the skin for milliseconds in such a way that no pain is felt at all, even during the procedure without a local anesthetic. If it is necessary to remove a wart or mole, then the device is placed for a longer time.
After the procedure, small dots appear on the skin, which must be treated by a cosmetologist with a special healing agent.
