Plasmolifting of the head is an effective procedure that helps with baldness or severe hair loss. The new technology allows you to improve the health of the scalp and hair using the patient's own plasma.
This method has proven itself well and the results become noticeable after the first session.
After completing a full course of plasma lifting, the hair structure is completely restored and growth improves.
In case of hair loss, after the first session, already on the third day you can notice a significant improvement, after the second session the loss completely stops, since the process of hair follicles dying off stops.
Improvement in hair growth is also observed, the first session already normalizes the function of the sebaceous glands, eliminates dandruff, the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms (fungi, bacteria, etc.) on the scalp is suppressed, and hair becomes stronger.
After completing the platelet-rich plasma course, hair grows healthier and thicker. The number of sessions is selected individually, in some cases two or three procedures are enough, in others a longer treatment is required.

Preparation for head plasma lifting
Plasmolifting of the head requires a preparatory stage. First of all, the patient is prescribed a general blood test, which must be taken no later than 30 days before the procedure, and the doctor also examines the condition of the scalp and hair.
Based on the analysis, the specialist will advise on possible side effects, the effectiveness of the procedure, etc. In addition, the clinic will check for chronic diseases or other possible contraindications.
It is recommended to perform plasmolifting on an empty stomach. A couple of days before the scheduled date of platelet-rich plasma, you need to drink more fluids, exclude fatty foods and alcohol from your menu.
Harm of plasma lifting of the head
Plasmolifting of the head in modern conditions is fully adapted for cosmetic use. This method is widely used and has no analogues in terms of efficiency and safety.
Cosmetologists recommend that patients with scalp or hair problems use platelet-rich plasma.
Some people wonder about possible negative effects that may occur after the procedure, however, to date, nothing like this has been recorded.
Plasma for the procedure is obtained from the patient’s blood, so all possible negative reactions are excluded, including allergic rashes.
To obtain plasma, specialists use modern equipment; in addition to plasma, depending on the condition of the scalp and hair, the dermatologist can include vitamins, microelements, etc. in the treatment cocktail.
Problems after a plasma lifting session may arise if the procedure is performed incorrectly (insufficient experience or skill of the specialist, poor quality equipment, etc.).
The tube in which the patient's blood is collected contains anticoagulants (to prevent clotting), which may cause an allergic reaction.
Before platelet-rich plasma, it is mandatory to undergo a preparatory stage, during which all necessary tests are taken.
After plasma lifting, slight redness or bruising may appear at the injection site.
Head Plasmolifting Procedure
Plasmolifting of the head is carried out after collecting all the necessary tests and examinations.
The procedure begins with the collection of venous blood (up to 100 ml), which is placed in a special test tube with anticoagulants, then the blood is placed in a centrifuge, where the process of purification from leukocytes and erythrocytes begins. After this, the purified blood (plasma) is prepared for injection - additional microelements, solutions, etc. are added (if necessary).
After all the preparatory work with blood, the plasma is injected into the patient’s problem areas of the skin (over the entire head or only in certain places).
Plasma is administered to the patient immediately after preparation, as it has the property of quickly coagulating. The specialist makes shallow and quick injections, the session takes only a few minutes. When administered, the patient may feel slight pain, redness and swelling may remain at the injection sites, which disappear on their own in 2-3 days.
There are no special requirements regarding recovery after the procedure. The patient is advised not to wash his hair for several days after the procedure and avoid direct sunlight, otherwise there are no restrictions.
Plasma lifting of the scalp
Plasmolifting of the head, in comparison with other methods, has one important advantage - the use of the body's own resources. With the help of specialists, the patient's own blood plasma, saturated with platelets, is injected under the skin of the scalp (into layers inaccessible to most cosmetic products).
Due to the large number of platelets under the skin, intensive stimulation of recovery processes begins, cells begin to produce collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, etc.
For the scalp and hair, plasma injections can significantly improve the condition and health of the hair, get rid of dandruff, increased oiliness and other problems.
Plasmolifting of the scalp is widely used for baldness, thinning or severe hair loss, dandruff.
By activating the process of natural stimulation of scalp cells, hair follicles receive more oxygen and nutrients, resulting in less hair loss and better growth. The procedure allows you to activate even "sleeping" or "inactive" follicles.
Plasma lifting of the scalp
Plasmolifting of the head takes about 30 minutes, during the procedure, when the plasma injection is administered, the patient may feel quite tolerable pain, but if desired, the specialist can apply a special anesthetic to the skin.
A lasting noticeable effect after plasma lifting of the scalp can be observed after 2-3 sessions.
On average, a specialist prescribes 4 sessions per month, but depending on the condition, the number of procedures may be less or more.
Moreover, platelet-rich plasma can be combined with other cosmetic procedures to achieve greater effect.

Plasma lifting of the head, like other procedures, has contraindications.
This method is not suitable for autoimmune diseases, HIV infection, coagulation disorders and diseases of the blood system, viral hepatitis, diabetes, cancer, herpes, inflammatory processes on the skin or pustular wounds, acute infectious diseases, suppressed immunity, chronic diseases of internal organs, mental disorders, and tissue prolapse.

Reviews of head plasma lifting
Plasmolifting of the head occupies a leading position among other methods. This technology is innovative and ideal for treating baldness.
About half of the patients who underwent the platelet-rich plasma course noted a noticeable change in their hair and scalp for the better after the first procedure. On average, a specialist prescribes 3-4 courses with a break of 7-10 days, then the procedure can be repeated as needed. As patients note, one course is enough for 1.5 - 2 years.
Plasmolifting of the head has nothing to do with tightening or rejuvenating the scalp, as it may seem at first glance. This technology is one of the ways to treat problems of the scalp and hair. The method is based on the use of a person's own plasma, which is obtained immediately before the procedure. The human body is a unique system and contains a huge supply of substances to maintain health and youth, but sometimes it is necessary to slightly push the body so that natural processes are activated with renewed vigor, which can be done with the help of platelet-rich plasma.
Plasma is a unique substance that contains a lot of useful substances that renew, regenerate, participate in cell renewal, and maintain their viability.
Weakened dull hair, flaking scalp, dandruff, severe hair loss, as a rule, indicate a decrease in metabolic processes in the problem area. In this case, plasma injections will help solve the problems and activate the natural process of vital activity of scalp cells and hair follicles.
