Now it is fashionable to be well-groomed, young, beautiful. But youth is gradually becoming a phenomenon and where we want to keep it as long as possible, beauticians give us this opportunity by developing, introducing and applying the latest, most effective methods, renewal methods. But what choice should a person make if they want to prolong their youth and beauty, rejuvenate their skin and improve their appearance from the full range of modern cosmetic procedures? This article demonstrates in detail the essence of one of the latest methods - plasma lifting, talks about the safety and high efficiency of this technology.
What is plasma lifting?
Human blood contains great potential that can stimulate all the body's resources, so necessary for it in the fight against aging and age-related changes, skin rejuvenation and general tissue repair. And the bloodletting method contributes to a very effective manifestation, a manifestation of all this possibility. What is a plasma lift, what is it based on, how does this cosmetic method work, which effectively renews the skin and subcutaneous tissue?
Plasma lifting is a cosmetic method, a non-surgical technique that performs skin regeneration, activates the regeneration of tissues in the human body. This is the latest method that has revolutionized cosmetology. The basic principles and ideas of technology, like all ingenuity, are very simple. This cosmetic method, its main concepts are based on the regenerative capacity of platelet-rich plasma of human patients. Plasma formed is injected into the skin problem. Thanks to such injections, the human body receives a powerful stimulus to activate the natural regeneration and regeneration process.
Such stimulatory properties of platelet-rich plasma ensure the formation of skin cells from stem cells, normal metabolic processes, the formation of hyaluronic acid molecules, the stimulation of blood circulation and the increased production of elastin and collagen. Skin regeneration and deeper subcutaneous tissue begins.
This cosmetic method has many other synonyms, for example, ACR - co-gene cell renewal, self-renewal of the skin, automatic skin treatment, skin plasma resuscitation, plasma hydrolysis, plasma regeneration, plasma regeneration, "draculotherapy".
The plasma lifting method is partly similar to biomedical treatment, as it uses the patient's biomaterials for injection, thus ensuring the full compatibility of biological components and eliminating the possibility of complications in the form of allergic reactions.
Plasma lifting is similar to the cosmetic method called ReGen Lab, developed by Swiss experts, which also renews the skin and subcutaneous tissue. But it is a more expensive method and requires expensive hardware.
History of the appearance of plasma lifts
The first precursors of this method were self-blood therapy (intravenous blood transfusion of a patient to stimulate the protective function of the body), which has been used in medicine for more than a hundred years, as well as plasma therapy, a method of treating certain diseases by intravenous plasma administration.
The first experiments aimed at rejuvenating human skin and immediately before the appearance of the plasma lifting method were made in the United States decades ago. As a result of these studies, a cosmetic method called PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) was developed. And plasma lift is considered a modification of PRP therapy; it was a patent of specialists in 2004.
Hardware impact
Platelets, in addition to their main function - to accelerate blood clotting, can secrete growth factor proteins that stimulate the process of cell division and growth. After injury, platelets usually accumulate near the wound, which begins the process of stopping the blood, as well as restoring the damaged area.
In order to force the cells to regenerate themselves artificially, thus producing skin regeneration, one should cause minor injuries, for example, as in a cochlear procedure, or deceive the patient's body by applying platelets to the affected area. Such an action will serve as a signal to start the renewal process.
Thus, platelet-rich plasma, when injected in the right area, helps to regenerate skin cells. Fibrous cells (connective tissue cells) begin to efficiently produce elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid, the formation of new skin cells is also accelerated and the skin regenerates.
Extent of plasma lifts
The plasmolifting method is mainly common in the field of cosmetology. Highly effective and rapid, painless skin rejuvenation is its advantage. But also this cosmetic method is used successfully in trichology, which is an effective way to combat baldness and hair loss. After several cycles of plasma lifting, the hair structure is restored, their loss stops and the process of healthy hair growth begins. To treat hair loss and baldness may require 2 to 10 bloodlifting procedures, depending on the general condition of the hair.
The plasma lifting method is used successfully in dentistry to speed up the implantation and treatment of gingivitis.
Tips for lifting plasma
The plasma filling method has the following indications for its implementation:
- peeling and dry skin;
- prevent the appearance of skin discoloration with heavy weight loss;
- age over 25. Imitation and small wrinkles - age over 35;
- violation of the basic properties of the skin due to weight loss;
- main signs of collapse of the skin, a decrease in its firmness, elasticity;
- acceleration of skin tissue regeneration processes after laser and chemical peeling;
- acne and other skin diseases;
- age-related elasticity, "gray" skin;
- recovery of the skin after strong exposure to ultraviolet rays (sun from the sun, sunbed);
- scattered dull hair;
- baldness and dandruff;
- correction of adverse effects of Botox injections.
Contraindications to plasma lifting
The Plasmolyfting method has the following contraindications for its implementation:
- mental disorders;
- severe sagging skin;
- blood diseases;
- immune diseases;
- chronic diseases;
- exacerbation of various chronic diseases;
- diabetes in severe form;
- diseases of various internal organs of the patient;
- hypersensitivity to anticoagulants used in the manufacture of syringes;
- menstruation;
- cancer diseases;
- blood fibrinogen hypotension;
- abnormal platelet and dysfunction, small platelet count (less than 100, 000 per 1 )l);
- low hemoglobin (amount below 100 g per 1 liter);
- heat, high temperature;
- Pregnancy;
- use of antibiotics;
- breastfeeding;
- antiplatelet therapy;
- use less than two days before the operation NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), for example aspirin, analgin;
- inflammation of the skin at the injection site.
This cosmetic procedure has the following main restrictions imposed on the patient before it is performed:
- ban on going to the solarium;
- ban on getting a natural tan;
- ban on visiting swimming pools and saunas.
Plasma lifting method: perform
Before starting the operation, it is recommended to undergo several tests: biochemical and clinical blood tests, blood tests for the presence of infectious diseases. The patient is then bled intravenously into a test tube containing separation gel and anticoagulant. The amount of blood taken depends mainly on the individual and biological characteristics of the patient. Usually it is about 10-20 ml. Then, using a special centrifuge, the blood is divided into three parts:
- cellular component (leukocytes and erythrocytes);
- platelet-rich plasma (approximately 1 million per 1 )l);
- plasma poor in plasma (less than 150, 000 per 1 µl).
Platelet-enriched plasma is injected by micro-injection into the problem area, previously treated with an antiseptic solution. After its introduction, fiber cells are placed along the Langer line (an age-related natural elastic line). In the process of stimulating the formation of elastin and collagen, skin tightening occurs. Microarray technology is usually similar to mesotherapy.
If necessary, you can use anesthesia with a special cream. At the end of the operation, the areas where the blood lift was performed are once again treated with an antiseptic. For the first 3 days after plasma lift, patients usually experience redness and peeling of the skin, as well as a slight darkening. Small wrinkles may appear on the surface of the skin. It usually disappears after three days.
The duration of the operation is usually between 40 and 50 minutes. The basic course of bloodlifting is 4 times with a frequency of 1 session in one to two weeks. And to maintain, strengthen the effect obtained, it is necessary to repeat about 2 courses of plasma lifting annually.
To prevent unpleasant side effects, the creators of plasma lifts are forbidden to change the method further, for example by adding other ingredients, vitamins, to platelet-rich plasma.
The plasma skin rejuvenation method has the most important advantage over other cosmetics - over time, the process of stimulating collagen production, that is, improving the general condition of the skin, keeps the skin rejuvenating for the next few months, up to years. included.
Plasma lifting method: efficiency
In 40 percent of cases, the effect is noticeable almost immediately after the plasma lift. In all other cases, this cosmetic procedure does not occur immediately, the results appear after about 2 weeks. To achieve a noticeable and better effect, experts recommend several methods. Then skin rejuvenation on the treated area will be very noticeable. The results of the operation can last for up to two years.
The effects of chemical peeling on the skin of the neck and face can be compared: it becomes younger, more elastic, the color improves, fine wrinkles are smoothed out. The most notable result after the operation is the effect of "porcelain skin" - the skin becomes very velvety soft, soft, smooth, as it glows from within. Plasma lifting works only when the first signs of age-related changes and aging of the skin appear. Only then can its use be able to rejuvenate the skin effectively. If there are deeper wrinkles or indistinct oval in the face, then this cosmetic method will not give good results.
The average length of a plasma lifting course is recommended below, as well as the results obtained for the following most common skin problems:
- ptosis of the skin. Result: increased extract and skin color. 4-6 actions 1 session in 7 days.
- Wrinkles. Result: a reduction in the depth and number of wrinkles, slowing down the process of age-related changes. 4-6 operations in 1 session every 7 days.
- Photography. Result: elimination or reduction of hyperpigmentation, light aging. 4-6 operations in 1 session every 7 days.
- Tired skin. Result: decrease in circles under the eyes, swelling, as well as improvement in complexion, local increase in skin resistance. 2-4 treatments, 1 session every 7 days.
- Problem skin. Result: reduced symptoms of acne, improved skin condition, its relief. 4-6 operations in 1 session every 7 days.
- Dry skin. Nutrition and hydration, activation of metabolic processes. 2-4 treatments, 1 session every 7 days.
- Hair loss, bald. Outcome: inhibition of dying processes by hair follicles, activation of hair growth. 4-6 operations in 1 session every 7 days.
- Dry, thin hair. Result: increased blood flow and nourishment of the hair follicles, restoration of the hair structure. 2-4 treatments 1 cycle every 7 days.
- Dandruff, problems with oily scalp. Standardization of sebaceous gland function, elimination of dandruff. 4-6 operations 1 session every 7 days.
Plasma lifting method: safety
Plasmolifting is a totally safe cosmetic method that provides almost painless skin rejuvenation without serious complications. Injections of platelet-rich plasma are non-immunological and non-toxic, as, as mentioned above, such plasma is obtained from a patient's blood without the addition of additives and drugs. Since the plasma rejuvenation method helps to activate the body's hidden resources, such skin rejuvenation does not cause any rejection reaction. Minor complications are possible, such as spots on the skin, redness, necrosis, haematological changes. Also, this beauty treatment does not have a recovery period. It should be noted that such complications are theoretically possible, but the chances of them occurring are very small.
Combination with other methods
The Plasmolifting method is perfectly combined with other anti-aging cosmetics, for example all types of peels and solvents. Then the rejuvenation of the skin will be best seen. Also, this cosmetic method is perfect for preparing the skin before plastic surgery and improving its condition, its appearance in the recovery period after surgery. To maximize the efficiency of the plasma lifting method, it can be combined with other laser procedures:
- hyaluronoplasty using a laser will prepare the skin for an increase in hyaluronic acid content;
- laser light temperature analysis allows you to trust the results obtained by plasma lifting;
- the composite laser will increase the regenerative effect it produces.
Plasma lifting method: cost
Plasma lifting itself is inexpensive as the patient himself is a supplier of platelet-rich plasma, the centrifuge performs the task of dividing the blood into fragments and the injection of the drug can be made by a beautician trained in mesotherapeutic. syringes. The main factor in the price of plastic lifting is intellectual property rights. But this beauty treatment is not that expensive.
The total cost is generated by taking into account the number and area of treated areas.
