To date, plasmolifting for hair is the most effective method, because it affects the skin in a complex way. Collagen, fibroblasts, hyaluronic acid - all these elements begin to be actively developed by injection.
Plasmolifting is a unique modern remedy that promotes rejuvenation without using the operating method. He focuses on stimulating tissue renewal in an absolutely natural way. The whole essence of its impact lies in the restorative nature of the plasma, which is contained in the blood of a person. It is rich in platelets. Injections of this plasma are made to the patient directly to those places on the skin where there are certain problems. After the invention of this method, it began to be used in such fields of medicine as dentistry and surgery, as it contributed to the rapid healing of wounds, and also stimulated the body's resistance to various diseases and improved metabolism. Over time, Russian doctors understood the effectiveness of using plasmatherapy in another branch of medicine - aesthetic. In this sense, they confirmed the fact that due to the human blood itself, it is possible to combat the processes of skin aging.
Indications for hair plasmolifting
Physicians in the field of aesthetic medicine or cosmetology recommend that plasmolifting should be carried out for people who already had the first age-related skin changes.
If the skin is dry, noticeably dehydrated, in addition, it also flakes, then you need to apply plasma therapy. Oily scalp and dandruff (seborrhea) are also signals that you need to somehow correct the situation. Fragility, weakness of the hair, the fact that they split - another reason will appeal to the cosmetician for plasmolifting. And it is especially recommended to do this to those people who noticed that their hair density and quality have obviously worsened, and also if the hair began to drop out actively, which occurs in focal, diffuse, androgenic alopecia, after childbirth or severe stress. All this is treated, corrected by the use of plasma therapy. The result can be noticed after the first procedure, and to get rid of the symptoms completely, you need to undergo a whole course of treatment.
Preparing for hair plasmolifting
If a person needs a plasma lift, then before this procedure, he must perform several simple procedures. First, it is to bring a blood test, which was done no more than a month ago. He also needs to undergo a full examination to the clinic in order to find out the general state of health. This is very important because plasma therapy can not be performed by everyone.
People who suffer from diseases such as hepatitis B and C, chronic liver disease, infectious diseases and immune system disorders (HIV, for example), inflammation of the skin, especially those sites where the injection is to be carried out, who are allergic to certain elements entering in the injection, who have certain mental illnesses, this procedure can not be carried out.
Before the plasmalift, the patient must be provided with full information about the possible results of the procedure and the dangers that may be inherent in the patient. If a person has not found any contraindications and he agrees with everything, then the beauticians go directly to the procedure itself.
Harm to the plasmolifting of the hair
As for plasmolifting for hair, it is not harmful. The only thing is that during the procedure the patient can feel pain, and, of course, in the place where the injection was made, the skin may become a little red or swell. But for two days it will disappear.
In comparison with mesotherapy, where different elements were carefully selected, but still no one could guarantee the result of the procedure because of not knowing how these elements will react to the organism, with the advent of plasmolifting, such a problem disappeared. After all, the patient is injected with his own blood plasma. It is this nuance that makes plasmic therapy absolutely safe for the patient's health. As it is hypoallergenic. But this does not apply to cases where there are contraindications (hepatitis B and C, infectious diseases, liver and immune system diseases, including HIV, diabetes, pregnancy and lactation, as well as allergy to the elements that make up the injection) . Therefore, before carrying out the plasmolifting, the patient should necessarily undergo a full study in the clinic. One danger still exists for everyone - it is an opportunity to become infected while you are donating blood from a vein. Therefore, for such a procedure, it is better to choose a licensed medical institution.
Where do hair plasmolifting?
To date, plasmolifting of hair is done in different beauty centers. Since this therapy was discovered and applied in Russia, it follows that large Russian cities are the places where this procedure can be performed. These are St. Petersburg, Perm, Chelyabinsk, Krasnodar, Ekaterinburg, Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk and others. But all the same the discovery of this non-surgical method occurred in Moscow, thanks to the doctor, Professor Akhmerov Renat Rashitovich, who still conducts plasma therapy himself. Also in his clinic, Dr. Korolkov also does the same. Capital beauty salons can also offer their clients such a procedure, different in all cases only prices. Carry out the hair plasmolifting and cosmetologists of the clinic, which specializes in aesthetic medicine and cosmetology Telo's Beauty. They offer not only the Russian method of plasma therapy, but also the Swiss one (called the neoplasmodeling of ACR). As you can see, the choice of those places where plasmolifting is done is huge, but it is better to give preference to medical institutions that are licensed to protect themselves from infection while donating blood for injection.
To date, plasmolifting for hair is offered by such clinics and centers as the "Center for Healthy Esthetics", (Kiev, Elektrykov St.), Litus Clinic (Kiev, L.Tolstoy Street), laser cosmetology center "Laser House" ( Kiev, Kharkov, Donetsk, Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye, Odessa, Lvov, Krivoy Rog); "Center for Plastic Surgery" (Kiev, Zoologicheskaya St.), "Medissa Center" (Kiev, Kontraktova Square), Laser Technologies Clinic "El. (Kyiv, Shota Rustaveli St.), Oxford Medical Clinic (Kyiv, Krivoy Rog, Khmelnitsky, Odessa, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye, Vinnitsa, Lviv, Chernivtsi, Kherson, Ivano-Frankivsk); private cosmetology "Veslava" (Dnepropetrovsk).
The procedure of hair plasmolifting
The very procedure of plasmolifting is uncomplicated, convenient for a person and for a cosmetologist. Outpatient administration is mandatory. It takes less than 1 hour. It all starts with the patient giving his blood to a special test tube. Blood a little - somewhere close to 15 ml.
A centrifuge is an apparatus in which this tube of blood is placed in order to clear it of red blood cells and leukocytes, but at the same time increase the percentage of platelets. Plasma is enriched with platelets and injected, injected into the scalp, into areas that require treatment. As a reflection on this, a new collagen is being developed. This activates local immunity and oxygen nutrition, which improves the structure of the skin itself, and at the same time removes inflammation and depresses the multiplication of bacteria that cause disease.
During the injection, the patient may feel some pain, and, after the injection, the skin may turn red or swell, but it will be maximum after two days.
Contraindications to hair plasmolifting
Because plasma therapy works in a complex way, and the main substance with which it interacts is blood, then physicians are contraindicated in carrying out hair plasmolifting in case of blood disease or if the patient suffers from such diseases as viral hepatitis B and C. Contraindications are also liver diseases, especially chronic. A person who suffers from diabetes is also prohibited from carrying out this procedure. In addition, with disorders of the immune system (especially HIVe) and various kinds of infectious diseases, they will also not be allowed to inject.
Contraindicated plazmoterapiya during pregnancy, as well as throughout the period of breastfeeding. If the skin is inflamed (this applies, in particular, to those places in which it is planned to inject) or a person's temperature, then plasmolifting can not be used. Also, it is undesirable when taking anticoagulants or if the patient does not tolerate heparin. Even mental illness can be a contraindication to the use of this therapy.

The price of plasma lift for hair
Prices for plasmolifting are completely different. It all depends on where you want to do it, who, how much supplies you need, what type of equipment, which will be used for therapeutic manipulations and methods of exposure. Not the least role in the impact on the cost of the procedure is the way in which plasma therapy will be performed (this can be enriched or unenriched). It is clear that the cost of enriched plasmolift is much higher. If you want to undergo plasma therapy from its founder, Prof. Akhmerov Renat Rashitovich, one procedure will cost 12,000 rubles, and Dr. Korolkov (who works in this clinic) costs 8,500 rubles.
Other cosmetic centers and salons will be offered, for comparison, for 9000-10000 rubles to make you three procedures. Everything also depends on how many procedures you need to go through, so that the effect is maximum and final. For some, this should be at least four procedures, and for others - only two.
It is interesting that in a lot of centers and clinics that are engaged in plasmalifting there are discounts not only for clients who visit them regularly, but also for those who need more than two procedures. The average range of cost in such places is 8000-22000 rubles.
Reviews about plasmolifting for hair
If we talk about the opinions concerning the benefits and effectiveness of hair plasmolifting, then there are both positive and neutral specialists. But, that someone negatively and extremely negatively spoke about this method, such is not present. For example, the famous plastic surgeon, who is in charge of the Department of Plastic Surgery and Cosmetology at the Russian State University, IE Khrustaleva considers plasma therapy to be a modern fashionable method, which is also quite simple. This procedure is relatively inexpensive, given its result. But it is necessary to have only the appropriate equipment.
In many respects the result depends on how many sessions a person has gone through, but also on the effectiveness of which elements are added together with plasma into the tube. All the plasmolifting procedures can look approximately the same, but, at the same time, the effect will be different. This can be explained by the fact that there is no single method of conducting plasmatherapy, which, moreover, would have been approved by the Ministry of Health. This is, in principle, good that if the cosmetologists or physicians who perform the procedure will observe the necessary sterility, the procedure alone will not cause any harm, the only question is whether it will be of use to it. Women who underwent plasma therapy note that the result is noticeable, but the price sometimes bites.
