Harm to plasmolifting of the head
Plasmolifting of the head in modern conditions is fully adapted for cosmetic use. This technique is widely used and has no analogues in terms of efficiency and safety.
Cosmetologists recommend that patients with scalp or hair problems should use platelet-rich plasma.
Some are asked about possible negative effects that may occur after the procedure, however, until now nothing of the kind 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, except plasma, depending on the condition of the scalp and hair, the dermatologist can include vitamins, trace elements, etc. In the therapeutic cocktail.
Problems after the plasmolifting session may occur in the case of improperly performed procedures (insufficient experience or skill of a specialist, poor-quality equipment, etc.).
In the tube in which the patient's blood is collected, contain anticoagulants (to prevent coagulability), which can cause an allergic reaction.
Before the platelet-rich plasma, it is mandatory to pass the preparatory stage, during which all the necessary analyzes are submitted.
After plasmolifting, small redness or bruising may appear at the injection site.
Plasmolifting of the head
Plasmolifting of the head is performed after the collection of all necessary tests and examinations.
The procedure begins with the collection of venous blood (up to 100ml), which is placed in a special tube with anticoagulants, then the blood is placed in a centrifuge, where the process of purification from leukocytes and erythrocytes begins. After that, the purified blood (plasma) is prepared for injection - add (if necessary) additional trace elements, solutions, etc.
After all the preparatory work with blood, the plasma is administered to the patient in the problem areas of the skin (throughout the head or only to specific places).
Plasma is administered to the patient immediately after preparation, since it has the property of rapidly folding. The specialist does a shallow and quick injection, the time of the session takes only a few minutes. At the introduction the patient can feel not a strong pain, in places of an injection there can be reddening, swelling, which independently pass through 2-3 days.
There are no special requirements for recovery after the procedure. The patient is recommended several days after the procedure not to wash his head and avoid direct sunlight, otherwise there are no restrictions.
Plasmolifting 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 under the skin of the scalp (in layers that are inaccessible to most cosmetic products), the plasma of the patient's own blood, saturated with platelets, is introduced.
Due to the large number of platelets under the skin, intensive stimulation of the regenerative processes begins, the cells begin to produce collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, etc.
For scalp and hair injection plasma allows you to significantly improve the condition and health of hair, get rid of dandruff, increased greasiness and other problems.
Plasmolifting of the scalp is widely used for alopecia, thinning or strong hair loss, dandruff.
By activating the process of natural stimulation of the scalp cells, the hair follicles receive more oxygen and nutrients, so that hair falls out less and grows better. The procedure allows you to activate even the "sleeping" or "inactive" follicles.
Plasmolifting scalp
Plasmolifting of the head takes about 30 minutes, during the procedure, when injecting plasma, the patient can feel quite pain, but if desired, the specialist can apply a special anesthetic to the skin.
A persistent noticeable effect after plasmolifting of the scalp can be observed after 2-3 sessions.
On average, a specialist appoints 4 sessions per month, but depending on the state, the number of procedures can be less or more.
In this case, platelet-rich plasma, for achieving a greater effect, can be combined with other cosmetic procedures.

Plasmolifting of the head has nothing to do with lifting or rejuvenating the scalp, as it may seem at first glance. This technology is one of the ways to treat problems of scalp and hair.
