A distinctive feature of plasmolifting, what it is, will be clear a little later, is that its action is based on the activation and restoration of the patient’s own resources. After the procedure, the interaction of regenerating, metabolic and immune systems occurs, and without the penetration of foreign substances and antibodies into the body. And this eliminates the risk of allergic reactions and rejection of the introduced particles.
The essence of the rejuvenation technique
The technique of rejuvenation with the help of blood plasma was developed by Russian academicians of plastic medicine Akhmerov and Zarudiy and officially patented back in 2003. Plasmolifting, as a method of PRP therapy, has recently become widespread in cosmetology. Initially, the technique was used to restore bone tissue, and its beneficial effect on the epidermis was discovered quite by accident and described by the developers of the method as a side effect. At the moment, plasmolifting is the only rejuvenation technique, after which there are no complications, and which has no side effects.
The essence of the method is the introduction of plasma obtained from the patient’s blood into the problem area of the skin. Plasmolifting of the face begins with the receipt of material for the procedures. Blood is taken from a vein, immediately before the manipulation. The blood undergoes a special treatment, as a result of which red blood cells are separated from the plasma and removed from it. Then the material is enriched with collagen and elastin. It takes no more than 15 minutes to complete all these manipulations.
The cosmetic plasmogel obtained in such a simple way, after being injected under the skin, performs the functions of a building material. The record amount of platelets, collagen and fibrin contained in it contributes to the replacement of obsolete fragments of the epidermis and stimulation of the skin to create new cell chains, the production of fibroblasts and its own hyaluronic acid, which are responsible for the rejuvenation and restoration of the epidermis. Platelet-rich plasma is used as a restorative material not only in cosmetology, but also in sports medicine, traumatology, and its effectiveness has been proven by time.
Indications for the procedure
The spectrum of effectiveness of plasma injections is very wide. This method of skin rejuvenation and restoration is used for such problems as:
To restore the skin on the body, after a change in weight or as a result of hormonal surges in the body, laser plasmolifting is most often used, but the injection method of the procedure is not excluded. This technique is widely used to improve the condition of the hair, and in dentistry – when implanting implants and treating gums.
Preparation for the procedure and recovery period
Special preparation for injection skin rejuvenation is not required. Procedures such as plasmolifting or biorevitalization do not involve the use of anesthesia or keeping the patient in a hospital. The surface of the skin, at the injection sites, is subjected to application anesthesia, which eliminates the appearance of a pain reaction.
Plasmolifting, both before and after it, does not cause any discomfort and does not affect the patient’s usual rhythm of life. A slight swelling of the skin surface, which occurs at the injection sites in very rare cases, disappears after 2-3 hours.

To achieve the desired anti-aging effect, at least 4 procedures are required, the interval between which should be at least 7 days. The final result is influenced not so much by the skill of the cosmetologist as by the condition of the client’s epidermis at the time of treatment, his age and general health. During rejuvenation with the help of plasmolifting, it is recommended to exclude stressful conditions, drinking alcohol, smoking, to minimize the negative impact of the environment on the skin and not to use decorative cosmetics that contain aggressive substances.
The positive effect is noticeable after the first course of injections. But in order to consolidate it and ensure a long period of action, it is necessary to complete the entire course recommended by the specialist and strictly follow all his advice. Positive dynamics is observed within two years after plasmolifting, but only if the patient does not expose the skin to negative influences, for example, does not abuse the solarium, carries out supportive procedures, and leads a healthy lifestyle.
