Plasmafilling

Plasmafilling is a skin rejuvenation technique based on the unique ability of blood plasma to quickly and effectively renew itself. The innovation was developed in Switzerland and is successfully used by specialists in many countries in neurology, dermatology, orthopedics, and cosmetology. For some time now, plasmafilling has been recognized by cosmetologists as a very effective method of treating baldness.

The procedure uses the patient's own blood, which minimizes the occurrence of negative reactions. First, the blood is separated into a solid fraction (erythrocytes and leukocytes) and plasma with active platelets using a centrifuge. Plasma can be liquid or viscous, and is used in different ways.

Thick, viscous plasma is injected under the skin to fill deep wrinkles, model the facial contour, and improve the texture of the skin. It activates fibroblasts, the formation of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. The renewal mechanism occurs at the cellular level.

Indications for plasmafilling

Indications for plasmafilling:

• wrinkles, folds, scars;
• flabbiness of the neck and décolleté area;
• changes in the oval of the face;
• dullness, low skin turgor;
• partial and complete baldness;
• thinness and fragility of hair;
• seborrhea;
• dryness and oiliness, dandruff, itching of the scalp.

Benefits of the procedure:

• safety and speed;
• carried out by qualified cosmetologists;
• good combination with other cosmetic procedures;
• no allergies due to the naturalness of the drug;
• absence of rejection;
• complete removal from tissues;
• indicated for all skin types;
• lasting results for 6-8 months;
• more affordable.

Preparation

The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and does not require hospitalization. In preparation for plasmafilling, the patient must:

• undergo a previous medical examination;
• do not take anticoagulants for two or three days;
• follow a diet (no fatty foods, no alcohol);
• donate 20-100 ml of blood.

The doctor takes blood, administers local anesthesia (if necessary), and prepares plasma for injection. The procedure itself takes a little time.

Thanks to special processing, the plasma acquires a gel-like consistency and contains thrombocytes. The high concentration of platelets stimulates cell regeneration, triggering the mechanism of natural rejuvenation.

The ability of plasma to catalyze natural processes after the first procedure lasts for three to four months. The maximum effect is provided by the full course recommended by the specialist. Even after removal from the body, plasma leaves behind a microframe that supports the skin.

How is plasmafilling performed?

You can learn about how plasma filling is performed in cosmetology clinics or directly from patients who have tried the procedure on their face or hair. This information will help you decide for or against the procedure, and at the same time choose a reliable clinic and doctor.

The plasma is injected under the skin with a syringe with a needle thick enough to pass through the viscous substrate. The entire process, starting with preparation, takes less than an hour. The injections do not cause much discomfort: a tolerable pain and skin tension are felt. After a few hours, the traces of the needle should disappear.

The essence of plasma therapy is to fill wrinkles with plasma enriched with hyaluronic acid. The gel-like substance is injected under the skin of the nasolabial fold, partially exerting a therapeutic effect on the scalp.

Plasmolifting is combined with other operations; it is performed in combination with thermage, contour plastic surgery, and facial modeling.

Patients with hair problems experience an improvement in the condition of the hair follicles, a reduction in signs of seborrhea, normalization of fat production, and a slowdown in the progression of alopecia from the very first session.

Subsequent sessions enhance the visible effect; positive dynamics are also observed in hair treatment. The duration of the course is determined individually.

Contraindications for use

The possibility of carrying out and the number of procedures is determined individually, since it depends on the patient's health condition, the specific clinical case and other factors. Contraindications to the use of plasma filling:

• Diseases of the blood and skin.
• Oncological problems.
• Venereal diseases.
• Allergy to anticoagulants.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• Hepatitis, diabetes and some chronic diseases.
• Depression, weakened immunity.
• Platelet disorders.
• Hypofibrinogenemia.
• Administration of corticosteroids.

Complications of plasmafilling

Complications of plasma filling are rare, but possible:

• Painful lumps in the area where there is more plasma.
• Bruises (if it hits a blood vessel).
• Yellowness under the eyes.

Usually these symptoms go away on their own in a day or two. Problematic complications can be caused by an unsuccessful operation or improper care after it. This is manifested

• swelling, redness of the puncture site;
• pain, itching, swelling;
• unaesthetic appearance.

To avoid complications, during the time specified by the cosmetologist (two weeks), you should adhere to the following restrictions:

• On the day of the procedure, you cannot use cosmetics or touch the puncture sites;
• avoid overheating and any thermal procedures;
• exclude mechanical procedures on the face (massage, etc.);
• Do not use cosmetics that stimulate blood circulation.

Some patients consider restrictions to be unnecessary during the rehabilitation period. Many factors have a negative effect on the skin condition, including after plasma filling: lack of sleep, chronic fatigue, bad habits, unhealthy food.

Reviews of Plasma Filling

Among the reviews of plasma filling from women who have tried the procedure themselves, positive and even admiring ones prevail. As if the effect of the procedure exceeded the most optimistic expectations. However:

• several sessions are required for a lasting effect;
• In the future, periodic procedures are also desirable.

In general, women note that the treatment is not painful or scary, but fast, effective and inexpensive. In addition to rejuvenation, plasmolifting improves complexion and has a beneficial effect on metabolism, immunity, and the general condition of the body.

The method is relatively new and has not been studied in depth by medical science. Specialists are cautious in their assessments, but consider it an obvious advantage that the procedure is effective with minimal risk to the patient.

Cost of plasma filling

Plasmafilling treatment is performed in many cities where cosmetic services exist. Compared to other methods, such sessions are cheaper. The price depends on the size of the problem areas, but also varies slightly in different clinics. Filling of the scalp is slightly more expensive than facial filling.

According to the price lists, the minimum cost of one test tube of material is from 680 UAH in regional centers and from 1700 UAH in Kyiv. This should be treated critically: firstly, the cost may change due to the financial situation; secondly, low prices may indicate the questionable quality of the services offered.

Any intervention in a living organism is fraught with surprises. And although plasma filling is considered a safe procedure, it is still a treatment, and it can only be trusted to reliable cosmetologists. Preparation and rehabilitation on the part of the patient are no less responsible. The combination of the patient's desires and capabilities with the experience and literacy of cosmetologists can provide the desired result.
