Indications for plasma lifting of the face
A person has problem skin that causes physical and psychological discomfort, but wants to feel and see themselves rejuvenated. Plasma Lift is what effectively solves such deviations. Cosmetologists highlight the following indications for plasma lifting of the face:
- Fading, flabby skin that has lost its firmness and elasticity (chronoaging).
- Deterioration of skin quality due to insolation (photoaging).
- Acne.
- Skin pigmentation.
- Dryness of the skin.
- Cellulite.
- Deviation of skin tone from the natural original tone.
- After strong exposure to ultraviolet rays.
- Stress-induced skin aging.
- Acne and post-acne.
- Deviations in skin texture (wrinkles, small scars).
- Rehabilitation and recovery measures after laser or chemical peeling.
The greatest cosmetic effect can be achieved with a comprehensive approach to the problem, combining plasma lifting of the face with biorehabilitation (injections of hyaluronic acid), or with a mesoroller (a device used to correct the texture of the epidermis), as well as with other appropriate techniques.
The peculiarity of Plasma Lift is that, being practically harmless, it allows to release the hidden resources of the organism, stimulating them to recovery. At the same time, all the main systems of the organism’s vital activity are activated: regenerative, immune, metabolic.
Platelets in human blood support tissue regeneration by stimulating cell division. Thanks to injections of plasma saturated with collagen and elastin, the body receives support for natural recovery processes, as a result of which a person entrusts facial rejuvenation to PRP.
Preparation for facial plasmolifting
Before going to the procedure itself, it is necessary to consult the doctor or cosmetologist who will perform it. He must first examine the patient's skin, establish his medical history, and conduct at least some basic studies and tests. Such preparation for plasma lifting of the face is mandatory. It will allow the specialist to make sure that there are no contraindications or contraindications. Only after this, if there are no reasons against this cosmetology technique, the time of the "operation" is set.
The doctor also gives the patient basic recommendations on how to prepare for plasma lifting of the face. These are mainly:
- Two to three days before the appointed time, you must remove from your diet:
- Strong coffee and tea.
- Smoked meats.
- Spicy and hot dishes.
- Fried, salty and sour foods.
- Alcohol.
- During this period, increase your fluid intake. Mineral, spring or simply clean water will do. Light herbal tea also has a good effect on the body.
- On the day of the “operation” you must also give up smoking.
- The last meal can be taken no later than four to five hours before the “X” time.
- The date of the procedure itself is also important, especially for women. It is desirable that it falls during the initial period of the menstrual cycle (first phase), but after the discharge has ended.
PRP itself is recommended to be performed in the morning, in the first half of the day.
Harm of facial plasmolifting
This innovative technique is safe and hypoallergenic. But minor harm from plasma lifting of the face still exists.
- Edema of the skin and subcutaneous tissue.
- Redness of the epidermis.
- Bruises form at the injection site.
But these consequences of the procedure completely disappear after a few days.
Indirectly, this method affects stem cells. This feature of Plasma Lift opens up unlimited possibilities for cosmetology, but it is also somewhat frightening, since the study of stem cells is not yet fully completed and their influence on the functioning of the body has not been fully studied. There is an opinion that they are able to stimulate the growth of cancerous tumors. But do not get upset right away. Not all types of stem cells participate in oncological complications, but only individual pools.
It is quite rare, but allergic reactions of the body to the material from which the needle is made, as well as to the plasma of the body itself, are observed. Infectious blood poisoning cannot be ruled out. The reason may be deviations from the recommendations for storage and use of the components of the procedure. PRP, in the presence of acne on the skin surface or a "dormant" infection in the body, can provoke their exacerbation and activation.
Thus, the harm of plasma lifting of the face can manifest itself in people who have a predisposition to malignant neoplasms (heredity, high doses of hard X-ray radiation, etc.). Therefore, before deciding on a rejuvenating procedure, it is worthwhile to undergo a comprehensive examination in order to exclude negative consequences.
Where do they do plasma lifting of the face?
Before deciding on a rejuvenating procedure, you should ask yourself: where do they do plasma lifting of the face? The answer here is unambiguous. This cosmetology technique should be carried out in specialized beauty salons or clinics with a good reputation. If you make a mistake with your choice, you can ruin your health, at least for a while, at most for life.
This technique has become quite popular today, being a solution to the painful female problem of always being beautiful and young. Therefore, before choosing a specific specialized clinic, it is necessary to make sure that it has certificates permitting this type of activity. It would not be superfluous to get acquainted with the opinions of those clients who have undergone the plasma lifting procedure of the face in this institution. When giving yourself into the hands of cosmetologists, you need to be completely confident in their professionalism. After all, a mistake in choice can be expensive and it is not always possible to return the previous appearance.
Any clinic that respects itself and its clients, before prescribing plasma lifting of the face, conducts multiple studies and tests (the tendency to allergies to specific drugs is analyzed, severe pathologies are identified) in order to protect its client and itself from unpleasant complications.
Beauty is real without damaging the integrity of the skin - this is the result of using the Plasma Lift method. The dream of all women, and men, is real. And even if the "eternal youth" pill has not yet been invented, but to prolong it is available now.
Facial plasmolifting procedure
This procedure should be carried out only at a specialized institution that has permission from the Ministry of Health to work with blood products. Plasmolifting of the face consists of several stages.
- Initially, a small amount of venous blood (20 to 120 ml) is collected from the patient.
- Next, the plasma is placed in a centrifuge (special medical equipment). This device disperses it into its components. The upper layers of the sample collect red blood cells (erythrocytes). The lower tier is occupied by blood with a small number of platelets. The intermediate "fraction" is plasma with a high level of platelets. This is the goal of all manipulations - a "magic substance" that allows you to heal and rejuvenate the skin.
- Then the procedure itself begins:
- Enriched plasma is drawn into a pre-disinfected syringe.
- If necessary, an anesthetic cream is applied to the injection site.
- An injection is given.
Plasmolifting of the face lasts about an hour. But it must be repeated in courses. The number of treatment courses depends on the pathology. The average component corresponds to four procedures with an interval of one to two weeks.
After the first procedure, significant changes are unlikely to be visible, but the second procedure will show a clear result. After the procedure, you should not limit yourself to anything. The only exceptions are visiting a sauna and solarium, swimming in natural reservoirs and a pool, taking medications such as heparin, aspirin (anticoagulants) and their analogues. Limit the intake of fatty foods and alcohol. The limit period is three to four days. The effect can last for one year.
Plasma Lift works effectively on any area of not only the face, but also the décolleté, neck, abdomen and hands, improving the structure and growth of hair.
Plasma lifting of facial skin
Plasmolifting is an innovative revitalizing technique that allows catalyzing the hidden powers of the body itself for the restoration and natural rejuvenation of the skin and hair.
The basic basis of Plasmolifting is a previously patented method of influencing blood plasma. The processing procedure allows to isolate platelet autoplasma from its composition. The effect of the updated composition is amazing. When introduced into the epithelium, this "elixir of youth" activates cellular respiration, normalizes the water-salt balance of the epidermis and subcutaneous tissues, acts as a stimulator of elastin and collagen production. After the procedure, the protective, restorative and healing abilities of the skin are activated.
Plasma lifting of facial skin allows you to achieve:
- Smoothing out expression wrinkles.
- General tone of the skin.
- Normalization of facial relief.
- Normalization of epithelial turgor.
- Strengthening cellular metabolism.
- Relief of acne and scars.
- Healing of microcracks.
- Elimination of swelling and bruising in the eye area.
- Removal of hyperpigmentation resulting from photoaging (aging of the skin under the influence of ultraviolet rays).
- Elimination of "orange peel" skin.
- Normalization of complexion.
- Local increase in the immune forces of the skin.
- Relieving dryness, itching and flaking of the epidermis.
- Stimulation of the synthesis of elastin and collagen in the dermis.
- Activation of tissue regenerative abilities.
- Balancing the natural water, oxygen and salt balance.
At the same time, plasma lifting of facial skin, stimulating the work of the body itself, is safe and non-toxic, hypoallergenic. This cosmetology technique does not cause mutations and component rejection, with strict adherence to the instructions does not allow the risk of infection.
Contraindications to plasma lifting of the face
This method is represented by injections, similar to blood transfusion. A person gets back his plasma, enriched with collagens and elastin. But not everything is so simple. There are also contraindications to plasma lifting of the face. Such restrictions include:
- The period of bearing a baby and breastfeeding.
- Infectious diseases in acute form.
- Diabetes mellitus.
- Severe skin diseases.
- Mental disorders.
- Allergy and hypersensitivity to procoagulants and anticoagulants.
- Pathology of hematopoiesis, problems with the level of blood clotting.
- Inflammation of the epidermis at the site of the proposed implementation of this cosmetic technique.
- Severe diseases, such as oncology.
- The age of those wishing to “rejuvenate” is up to 25 years.
- Autoimmune disorders in the body.
Facial plasmolifting price
It is quite difficult to specify the cost of this procedure. The price of plasma lifting of the face includes the cost of the procedure itself and the consumables specially developed for this method. At the same time, it must be performed in specialized clinics that have a permit certificate for working with blood. Tempted by a low price, the patient risks falling into the hands of non-professionals, which is fraught with post-procedural infections and complications. And this is the physiological, aesthetic and psychological health of the patient, additional funds for rehabilitation. But it is not a fact that it will be possible to bring the skin condition to its original appearance. Therefore, before deciding on rejuvenation, it is necessary to find a clinic that has a permit for this type of activity, get acquainted with the reviews of its clients who have undergone a similar procedure.
The price of PRP may also vary due to the use of different blood processing methods. There are two methods: the introduction of enriched plasma or non-enriched plasma, which is significantly cheaper. The final figure also depends on the number of procedures performed (on average, a patient undergoes two to four "operations"). It is very rare to solve a problem by receiving one irrigation.
The status of the clinic is also important. In specialized institutions in the center of the capital, this cosmetology method will cost much more than in the periphery. On average, for those wishing to remove skin defects, Plasma Lift will cost 1500 - 2000 UAH. Many clinics introduce a system of discounts for regular customers or those who need to undergo two or more sessions.
Reviews of plasma lifting of the face
This innovative skin healing technique has taken a worthy niche in cosmetology, gaining more and more followers. Most of them are happy and delighted with this procedure. The overwhelming majority of clients note a noticeable improvement in the quality of the skin: its turgor, elasticity. "The skin becomes smoother, more elastic and velvety, small wrinkles disappear, larger ones become less prominent." Numerous reviews of plasma lifting of the face note that flabbiness disappears, the complexion becomes more saturated and natural, dull shades disappear. Revived skin becomes more well-groomed and significantly "rejuvenated".
Quite often, the "debate" raises the question of how uncomfortable this cosmetic technique is, because the advertisement says that it is completely painless. Most opponents agree with the advertisement, but there are also those who experienced pain. Experts note that such discomfort can be felt by patients with very dry skin, increased sensitivity of skin receptors, as well as a thinned layer of the epidermis. During the introduction of enriched plasma into the skin layers, the epithelium cracks, causing pain. The second reason for its appearance may be the incorrect implementation of Plasma Lift.
There are quite a lot of positive reviews about PRP from patients with really complex pathology of the facial skin. Even if they did not get an ideally clean and smooth skin, they significantly improved the quality of the skin. Especially ardent fans of this method undergo this procedure once a year to constantly keep their face in good shape.
There are also negative reviews, which are mostly related to the exorbitant cost of one session, while a course of several irrigations results in even more impressive figures. After all, most patients have to seek such a service more than once.
Summing up the reviews of doctors, cosmetologists and clients who have already tried Plasma Lift on themselves, we can conclude that this procedure is quite effective and solves multiple problems of the patient's facial skin. The cost of its implementation is quite significant and noticeable for the wallet of most respondents, but, if desired, you can still allocate such a sum "for yourself". But how many bonuses a person receives after rejuvenation and facial cleansing (both physically and psychologically). Just do not forget that the first few days after the "operation" the face is covered with small bruises and swelling, which quickly pass. Therefore, the procedure itself should be timed so that for the first time after its implementation there is no great need to appear in public.
Each person will still have to make the decision on their own whether or not to do plasma lifting of the face.
