In pursuit of beauty and freshness of the skin, ladies are capable of much: they are ready to endure discomfort, endure a long recovery period, painful injections, etc. Fortunately, the beauty industry is developing very actively; today more and more innovative methods are appearing on the market that help preserve the youth and beauty of the face without pain or marks from an injection. A good example is facial plasma therapy.

What is facial plasmatherapy

This method of rejuvenation differs from thermolifting in that it is not hardware. Thermolifting of the face, along with mesotherapy, is carried out by introducing a substance (for facial plasma therapy, blood belonging to the patient is used) into certain areas of the face. When injecting, a very thin needle is used, which is injected subcutaneously.

Imagine that the earliest experiments with the biostimulating functions of blood in science were made a hundred years ago. During this period, autohemotherapy was discovered to humanity - injecting blood, which was taken from the patient, directly into the muscle. Such a “shake-up” quickly activated metabolic processes and helped protect the immune system. However, there were also disadvantages of the procedure: harmful substances were also transferred into the body with the blood. This method never became popular.

The use of plasma for cosmetic purposes has appeared relatively recently; facial plasma therapy can even be called a novelty in aesthetic medicine. When performing a plasma therapy procedure on a person, only purified blood is used; platelet-filled plasma is required, unlike, for example, the autohemotherapy procedure.

Now let's talk about a particularly significant moment! Very often, the very name “plasma therapy” confuses patients. They may think it's a facelift procedure, but that's not entirely true! Facial plasma therapy must be carried out in combination with other procedures.

Does plasma lifting cause side effects?

One of the most popular questions: does facial plasma lifting have side effects? Indeed, it is considered a relatively safe procedure, but some complications can still arise. Therefore, you should be aware of these and know how you can avoid them.

Thus, this procedure is considered hypoallergenic, but there is a risk of an allergic reaction (albeit with a low probability), in particular, it can be to the metals from which the needles are made, and to drugs added to the blood to prevent the blood from clotting (anticoagulants ).

Such allergic reactions can be expressed in the form of swelling and redness of the skin, small bruises in the area where the drug was administered (hematoma). It is worth noting that they go away on their own in about a week.

Another more dangerous side effect is infection of the blood during donation for further centrifugation. A strong immune system can cope with this problem, but with a weakened immune system, suppuration may occur at the injection site. Naturally, theoretically, there is a possibility of more serious consequences of blood poisoning. According to statistics, there are practically no such cases, because the occurrence of unpleasant effects of this level directly depends on the clinic and the experience of the medical staff.

In the presence of acne of an infectious nature, an exacerbation of the disease may occur within a month after the plasma lifting procedure, and the effect occurs even later.

Another side effect of this procedure, which is related to blood, can occur with repeated use of the blood processing machine, as infection can be transferred from the blood of one client to the blood of another. But in order to allow such a complication, the clinic must not care at all about its reputation.

There is also a possibility of developing pigmentation, but this situation can be considered more of a side effect than a complication, and it can be easily avoided by not visiting saunas, swimming pools, solariums, or being in the open sun.

List of other possible unpleasant effects and problems:

1. Worsening of chronic diseases;
2. Autosensitization;
3. Accelerated fibrosis;
4. Short-term results.

An alternative to plasma lifting can be volumetric plastic surgery, which restores the elasticity and turgor of the skin through autoimplants made from the client’s fatty tissue. However, such a procedure is not a rejuvenation or a facelift; it only restores volume and has a completely different effect.

Your biggest problem may be contacting a clinic that does not have a specialized license and experienced cosmetologists on its staff. The effect of plasma lifting in this case is unlikely to please you.

To summarize this article, we will name all the pros and cons of plasma lifting, and also clarify how long the effect of it lasts.

Where is blood taken for facial plasmatherapy?

The fact that blood has been considered a magical rejuvenating agent since ancient times is evidenced by many legends and real stories:

• The ancient Romans drank the blood of conquered gladiators.
• In China, they used the blood of murdered young men.
• Many have heard the story of Countess Bathory. There were legends that all her crimes were committed with the aim of obtaining the blood of young girls, with the help of which the Countess kept her skin fresh.

Obviously, people have long subconsciously realized that blood can have a slowing effect on age-related changes in the skin. Of course, at that time humanity did not have enough knowledge, so attempts to rejuvenate were cruel, but unsuccessful. Fortunately, you have a great opportunity to slow down aging effectively and painlessly - this is facial plasma therapy! As we have already said, for facial plasma therapy, only the patient’s own blood plasma, taken from the patient, filled with platelets, is used. Based on the results of many scientific experiments, it turned out that it is thanks to plasma that the metabolism in tissues accelerates, fresh cells appear, and blood circulation in the body increases.

Cells that are located deep in the layers of the skin, after injection, trigger the active synthesis of proteins that ensure the elasticity and firmness of the skin. These are, first of all, collagen and elastin.

We will briefly look at how facial plasma therapy is done. To carry out the procedure itself, it is necessary to take a small amount of blood from a vein - about eight milliliters. It is placed in a test tube, which is pre-treated with a substance to prevent blood from clotting and mixing. After which the blood in a test tube is sent to a special centrifuge, which begins to rotate at a given speed.

These actions divide the blood into two components - white, which is saturated with platelets, it rises to the top of the test tube, and red, with red blood cells, which settles at the bottom of the test tube. Eight milliliters of blood is enough for plasma therapy of the face, neck and décolleté.

How plasma works

The first thing that plasma with platelets that get under the skin is to trigger active regeneration processes, that is, restoration . As well as the synthesis of substances necessary for beauty and youth, or rather proteins - elastane and collagen. Therefore, just a few days after the first procedure, the skin begins to change its appearance, and the results of the full course of plasma lifting are impressive! The most important thing is that changes occur not only outside, but also inside, which allows you to maintain the acquired effect for a long time - up to six months.

Facial plasma therapy: indications and safety

The substance used in the facial plasmatherapy procedure is a component of the patient’s own blood, which is why its rejection is excluded, there are no foreign substances in it, and it does not provoke any side effects. After the introduction of plasma, tissue respiration begins to normalize, they are saturated with oxygen, water balance is regulated, and the formation of collagen with elastin and intercellular substance is accelerated. These processes activate the skin’s protective system and help quickly restore damaged tissue.

The latest research and accumulated experience have proven the positive effect of plasma therapy on a wide variety of areas of the body. Today it is actively and successfully used in the best medical institutions in the world; it is used to combat various ailments in dentistry, traumatology, urology and gynecology. This procedure helps to significantly reduce aesthetic imperfections in cosmetology:

• Pregnancy and lactation period.
• Presence of viral hepatitis.
• Presence of diabetes mellitus.
• Presence of blood diseases.
• Complex diseases of internal organs.
• Mental disorders.
• Presence of cancer.
• Inflammations on the skin of bacterial, fungal, viral or infectious origin.
• Severe tissue ptosis, correctable only with surgery.
• Immunosuppressive state.
• Fever, elevated temperature.
• Autoimmune diseases. Period of menstruation.
• Corticosteroid injections.
• Decreased hemoglobin.
• Dysfunction or low platelet count.
• Allergy to anticoagulants (substances that stop blood clotting).
• Reduced levels of fibrinogen in the blood (hypofibrinogenemia).
• Exacerbation of chronic diseases.

Do not ignore these warnings! Before the procedure, you must consult a doctor; only in the absence of all contraindications can you proceed with facial plasma therapy.

Who is contraindicated for plasma lifting?

Unfortunately, this effective procedure is not suitable for everyone.

It is recommended to refrain from such treatment if:

• oncological diseases
• acute infections
• mental pathologies
• diabetes mellitus
• HIV
• hepatitis C and B
• pregnancy and breastfeeding
• individual intolerance to heparin
• disruption of blood clotting processes and speed

Facial plasma therapy: pros and cons

The following points are considered to be the advantages of facial plasmatherapy:

• The procedure is safe. To obtain blood saturated with plasma, you need to use only ten to one hundred milliliters of it, and this is completely safe; the loss of such an amount does not have any consequences for a person.
• Naturalness. During the procedure, the patient will receive only his own blood, which means that there are no foreign substances in it, in addition, there are no additives or chemicals.
• The likelihood of an allergic reaction, rejection and other negative responses of the body is very low. There is no need to waste time and effort on the rehabilitation period.
• No scars or scars after the injection.

The disadvantages of the procedure are:

• Expensive.
• The risk of infection with serum infections, which include viral hepatitis, autoinfection (the awakening of viruses in the patient’s blood caused by a change in their location). In order to avoid getting into such a situation, you need to contact only a specialized medical institution that has a license, certificates and other necessary documents. Pay attention to the reviews about the chosen clinic, find out how long it has been providing the required service, and how qualified the specialists are working there.
• You may be allergic to the materials from which syringe needles are made, or to anticoagulants. Before facial plasma therapy, the doctor is required to take a sample for the presence of an allergen.

Mechanism of action of plasma lifting

To use this method of cell regeneration, platelet autoplasma (TAP) is required. It does not contain red blood cells, and the number of platelets in it is close to their number in peripheral blood (150-350 thousand/μl). Such plasma is very rich in amino acids, mineral elements (potassium, magnesium, zinc, iron, calcium, etc., peptides and vitamins B, C, A, D, E, K, necessary for the life of cells. Being a natural component of the human body , autoplasma does not cause allergic reactions. This method is also universal due to its bioavailability, due to which regeneration processes occur naturally.

Physiologically, the process of plasmolifting occurs as follows: when platelets lose contact with the endothelium, leaving the capillaries and vessels, they change their shape and secrete alpha granules, which saturate the damaged area with growth factors.

The same thing happens in the plasmolifting procedure, when autoplasma is injected into the desired area, i.e. platelet adhesion and the release of growth factors from alpha granules occur, as in a normal protective physiological process.

Facial plasma therapy: reviews from doctors

The author of plasma therapy, Professor Renat Akhmerov, considers the advantages of the procedure:

• One hundred percent reduction of the network of shallow wrinkles;
• Refreshes the skin, evens out the tone;
• Stem cell growth;
• Strengthening the immune and antioxidant systems;
• Quick results after the first use;
• Saturation of skin tissues with oxygen.

He also believes that the procedure has certain disadvantages, some of which we have already discussed earlier:

• Slight discomfort from injections, pain, bruising, swelling;
• The risk of autoinfection with viruses that live in human blood if the norms and requirements for facial plasma therapy are violated.

Video: Doctor R. R. Akhmerov about his technique

Most doctors consider facial plasma therapy to be an easy and non-hazardous procedure. This is due to the fact that the material used is a person’s own blood plasma. If after the procedure there are swelling and hematomas, then this is not a reason to worry; they will definitely disappear in a short time, without needing any treatment. This usually takes from three to seven days.

There are groups of scientists who warn against this procedure for those who have a predisposition to the appearance of malignant neoplasms. The point of view of these specialists is supported by the fact that facial plasma therapy can stimulate the activity of stem cells. In such a situation, we recommend conducting a thorough examination before deciding to undergo facial plasma therapy.

Plasmolifting: everything you want to know, but don’t dare ask

Although scientists have not yet invented a “youth pill” that can turn back time, the beauty industry has not stopped. Beauty experts are coming up with new ways to treat fine lines and wrinkles, lift facial contours and restore skin elasticity through intense hydration and stimulation of collagen production.

One of the latest advances is plasma lift surgery, a rejuvenation surgery that uses the patient's plasma as the "active ingredient." But this method, no matter how amazing it looks, will raise a lot of questions and worries among girls. If you're serious about plasma augmentation, we'll tell you everything you need to know.

What is plasma enhancement?

These are injections of platelet-rich plasma from the patient's own blood. Use only your own plasma for plasma augmentation, or use plasma and hyaluronic acid (originally placed in a tube).

What is the role of plasma enhancement?

This procedure increases the swelling (elasticity) of the skin, moisturizes, nourishes, improves its color and structure, removes age spots, reduces inflammation, smoothes out old wrinkles and prevents the appearance of new wrinkles, and tightens the oval shape of the face.

If we talk about plasma enhancement of the scalp, it can reduce hair loss, strengthen hair follicles and normalize the functioning of the sebaceous glands, eliminate itching and dandruff, and the hair will become elastic and shiny. At the same time, increasing plasma levels can also be used to stimulate the growth of eyebrows and eyelashes.

It is important to note that increases in plasma levels on the face, neck, shoulders, scalp and private areas may vary.

At what age can plasma rise?

The procedure can be performed from 18 to 20 years of age, but it all depends on individual indications.

How is the procedure done?

The technique is simple - the doctor takes the patient's blood into a test tube and sends it to a special centrifuge, where the platelet-rich plasma is processed and separated. Injection with the resulting composition. The entire process usually does not exceed one

hours, in case of allergies, local anesthesia can be used.

What are the advantages of plasma lift?

The patient’s own plasma is completely safe, rich in amino acids and vitamins. In addition, there are very few contraindications to the plasmatron and virtually no side effects.

Is there a risk of infection?

Completely eliminate the risk, since the process uses disposable and sterile instruments and consumables.

How long does the plasma effect last???

After the entire course, including 2-4 procedures, rest for 2-3 weeks, the result can last up to a year.

Standard contraindications. These include pregnancy and breastfeeding, bleeding disorders, rash or tumors at the injection site, allergies to medications that thin (anticoagulants) and thicken (accelerate) blood, exacerbation of chronic diseases, the presence of acute infectious diseases and any serious diseases. .

How is recovery going?

Redness, pimples and minor bruising are common skin reactions after injection. They last mostly until the end of the day. Sometimes, but not always, bruises may occur after surgery (but they will disappear within

within 5-7 days).

Which procedure can be combined with plasma lifting?

Plasmolifting is compatible with any hardware technologies. Together with a scrub and/or hot peeling recommended by cosmetologists, it will have a more significant and lasting aging effect.

Facial plasma therapy: customer reviews

Natalia (33 years old), Moscow

I was very embarrassed about my wrinkles around my eyes, on my forehead and in my lips. They appeared not so long ago, but were already very noticeable! In addition, I have long and unsuccessfully struggled with a double chin and pigmentation on my face. There is simply no result! I heard about facial plasma therapy from a friend and soon decided to do it. The result exceeded my expectations! The skin became soft, wrinkles disappeared, even the double chin shrank, and the complexion became much smoother. Feeling of freshness and youth, velvet skin! I was lucky to get into a period of good discounts, the savings turned out to be decent! Now I can safely recommend facial rejuvenation with plasma therapy!

Larisa (43 years old), Voronezh

Expression wrinkles are some kind of punishment! I tried all the means and spent a lot of money on different procedures, of course there was an effect, but it quickly ended. In addition, my skin was very dry and inflamed, and peeling only made things worse. One cosmetologist told me about facial plasma therapy. I became interested and learned more about the procedure, its safety and effectiveness. To be honest, I didn’t have much faith in the result, but the decisive argument in favor was the use of plasma from my blood. I donated blood, after which I was injected with plasma separated from it. During the process, I felt almost nothing; I was given two approaches a couple of weeks apart. I was pleased with the effect - wrinkles decreased, acne disappeared altogether, and my complexion was refreshed. The most important thing is that I have had no skin problems for more than three months, and all this thanks to facial plasma therapy.

Ksenia (36 years old), Kerch

I had fractional thermolysis, and after seven days I also had facial plasma therapy. I'm very impressed with the result. After the fractional thermolysis procedure, my skin tightened and the old dead layer came off. The doctor said that when using a laser, very small incisions are made on the skin, which damages it; this is the only way to renew the cells, because regeneration will begin. I was scared, so in addition I preferred facial plasma therapy, which was prescribed to me after fractional thermolysis. Thanks to the plasma therapy procedure, the skin began to recover much faster after laser exposure. This is how I got rid of dead skin cells.

The use of plasma lifting against acne on the face

The procedure is considered very effective, reliable and safe. With its help it is possible to cure painful acne. With plasmolifting, the general condition of the epithelium improves, noticeable rejuvenation of the skin is observed, restoration of the epidermis is accelerated, the number of deep and fine wrinkles is reduced, pores are narrowed, acne disappears, scars and cicatrices become barely noticeable.

After subcutaneous injections of platelet autoplasma, cell growth and division begins, the synthesis of collagen and elastin is stimulated, which have a positive effect on the elasticity and density of the skin. As a result of the procedure, intercellular metabolism is accelerated several times, the functions of the sebaceous glands are normalized, as a result of which acne recedes.

Acne therapy and the duration of the rehabilitation period completely depend on the stage of the inflammatory process, the general condition of the skin and the human immune system. Positive results are shown by complex treatment: hardware therapy and plasma lifting. Facial peeling, pore cleaning, and cosmetic procedures for facial skin care complement each other perfectly.

With the help of plasma lifting, you can quickly cure the initial stages of acne. After the first 2-3 manipulations, facial skin improves and the number of acne decreases. Also, due to the sharp stimulation of self-cleaning of the epithelium, there is a risk of a short-term exacerbation of the disease; a specialist should warn the patient about this.

To overcome painful acne on the face, sometimes 4-5 sessions are enough. Manipulations are carried out with a break of 10-14 days. The duration of the course of therapy depends on the individual characteristics of the body. Advanced acne on the face can be cured with plasma lifting in 1-2 years, which is a very good result.

How does the facial plasmatherapy procedure work?

If a person intends to undergo facial plasma therapy, he needs to attend a preliminary consultation with a doctor, during which he must:

1. Carefully inspect the skin
2. Diagnose skin diseases
3. Schedule general tests

Only after receiving the results of a medical examination is a balanced decision made on whether to authorize or prohibit the facial plasma therapy procedure for a given patient. Upon admission, the doctor sets a date for the service.

Before undergoing facial plasmatherapy, the patient must do the following:

1. Completely avoid drinking alcoholic beverages, strong tea and coffee, hot, spicy, salty, sour and fried foods a few days before plasma therapy.
2. Increase your water intake.
3. You are not allowed to smoke on the day of the procedure.
4. You cannot eat five hours before the procedure.

Girls need to be even more careful when planning the date for facial plasma therapy. The best period for the procedure is considered to be the first phase of the menstrual cycle and the first half of the day.

Please note that it is simply impossible to carry out facial plasma therapy at home, because blood plasma must be processed using special equipment and under certain conditions.

Immediately before plasma therapy, it is necessary to cleanse the face of any cosmetics, only after this a professional disinfectant is applied to the skin, and then numbed (usually with ice-caine). After this, you can begin to inject.

The injection of processed plasma is given with a very thin needle, similar to an insulin needle. The doctor must distribute the plasma as evenly as possible, otherwise the patient will leave with bruising and swelling. The average duration of a facial plasmatherapy procedure is one hour. After the injections, the cosmetologist massages the patient’s face, resulting in an even distribution of the substance under the skin.

The patient should begin preparing for plasma therapy seven days before the procedure itself, you can do a light facial massage, and you should temporarily stop using scrubs and peels.

Post-procedural period

It should be remembered that the presence of microhematomas and slight swelling in the area of ​​impact is a normal phenomenon when performing injection techniques.

However, some rules must be followed:

• Refusal of decorative cosmetics and cosmetics for a day. If the eye area was not touched, you can paint your eyelashes.
• Avoid touching, scratching or rubbing your face for up to 24 hours
• After washing, treat the skin with an aqueous solution of chlorhexedine for 2-3 days.
• Saunas, steam baths, swimming pools are prohibited for 2 weeks. Considering this, and the fact that the full course consists of at least 4 procedures performed at intervals of 2 weeks, it should be understood that visiting such establishments is excluded for the entire course of plasma lifting. Sauna, hammam, bathhouse and other similar pastimes lead to irritation of injured skin and also promote the growth of bacteria in a humid environment
• Refusal from solarium and open sun until the face is completely restored. In the future, sunbathing is possible with the application of sunscreen

• Intense physical activity is also prohibited during the period of restoration of facial tissues, since excessive sweating may cause inflammation of micro-wounds after injections
• “Can I drink after plasma lifting?” the most frequently asked question. Alcohol slows down the body's recovery processes and also increases swelling. Therefore, at least on the first day, it is better to give up alcoholic beverages.

When is the effect of facial plasma therapy noticeable?

It will be possible to compare the results of facial plasma therapy “before and after” ten days after the injection. Unfortunately, not all patients observe a pronounced effect after the first procedure; sometimes it seems that nothing has changed. When rejuvenating the face with plasma therapy, the result depends on age characteristics; when treating acne, it depends on the duration of the disease. In addition, the general condition of the patient’s body plays an important role.

The plasma therapy technique provides:

• Anti-aging effect

  . Gets rid of obsolete cells, helping the emergence of new ones. The skin is transformed - it acquires lost smoothness, elasticity and softness. Facial plasma therapy activates the activity of the BCL gene, which can slow down aging at the cellular level.

• Protective effect

  . The skin's protection from ultraviolet rays is enhanced, and the regeneration process proceeds faster, which is why any damage heals in a shorter time. The skin becomes more resistant to the negative effects of external factors.

• Moisturizing effect

  . Prevents dehydration, starts the process of formation of proteins that ensure the elasticity of the skin. With sufficient hydration, the feeling of tightness disappears and the risk of developing inflammation and skin irritation is reduced.

• Reduces skin photosensitivity

  . Starting cell metabolism reduces the likelihood of pigmentation, the face becomes fresher, and the color is evened out.

• Improves skin trophism

  . The process of blood circulation in the vessels is normalized, which ultimately allows the process of cell regeneration to be accelerated.

• Lifting effect

  . Due to serious hydration, the oval of the face is also tightened.

• Fights hyperpigmentation

  . The process of evening out the complexion begins, which occurs when getting rid of dead skin cells.

The essence of the procedure

The main active ingredient in the plasma lifting procedure is the patient’s own blood, processed by a special method. During this treatment, plasma with an increased concentration of platelets is released. Platelets are known to contain growth factors responsible not only for blood clotting, but also for the regeneration and growth of young tissue. In addition, platelets have the ability to accumulate around problem areas in tissues, thus the action of growth factors becomes targeted. Under the influence of growth factors, new blood vessels grow, as a result of which tissue oxygenation improves, the influx of nutrients increases and, as a result, complexion improves, pigmentation and severity of wrinkles decrease, and the oval of the face tightens

When facial plasma therapy does not bring the expected result

Unfortunately, facial plasma therapy cannot be called a panacea for aging for everyone. When studying numerous reviews, based on the comments of specialists, we can conclude that in some situations the facial plasma therapy procedure does not have the desired effect. Moreover, it can even aggravate poor facial skin conditions. The patient must undergo all examinations required of him, and cosmetologists and doctors, in turn, must strive to improve the quality of the procedure and to eliminate accidents during its implementation.

Authoritative experts believe that facial plasma therapy can cause a negative result only in certain cases, which are dictated by mistakes and deviations from strict norms of the procedure. Thus, we can classify failed facial plasma therapy and negative reviews into three groups:

1. Neglect by the patient or doctor of existing contraindications. Before collecting plasma and administering injections, you need to familiarize yourself with all the prohibitions; if you ignore them, you may encounter completely unpredictable consequences. Both the specialist and the patient himself are considered the responsible person. For example, a doctor may be careless in ordering an examination, and the patient himself may hide any illnesses or take certain substances.
2. Violations committed by a specialist during facial plasmatherapy. This procedure involves precise intradermal injection, which is carried out only along certain lines of skin tension. When a specialist does not follow these rules, complications may arise that overshadow the result.
3. Inflated expectations from plasma therapy for facial rejuvenation. Most people who want to try this procedure mistakenly understand its purpose. As we said, this is not a facelift! The effect of plasma therapy cannot be compared with surgery, so some patients are extremely upset by the result, believing that they were simply deceived. The specialist must accurately and clearly explain to the patient all the pros and cons of the procedure, describe the final result and not hide possible complications.

In order for you to understand where the boundaries of the cosmetologist’s powers lie and the responsibility of the patient begins, you need to get acquainted with specific negative reviews about the procedure. As you read, you will understand what motivates the commentators, and will also form a clearer picture of facial plasma therapy.

Elizaveta (34 years old), Samara

I went to do facial plasma therapy, chose one of the expensive salons, they questioned me for a very long time, then they took tests and after all this they sent me for facial plasma therapy. After the procedure, I had bruises all over my face, which is why I was scheduled for new examinations! It turned out that it was because of my pills. I didn’t even think that a simple painkiller could lead to this, so I didn’t tell the cosmetologist about taking it.

It is quite obvious that in this situation the patient is to blame - you cannot remain silent if you are taking NSAIDs, because they reduce blood clotting. The doctor always interviews the patient; it is necessary to accurately answer all his questions, because this is done for your own good!

Valeria (26 years old), Penza

Plasma therapy is a nightmare. During pregnancy, pigmentation appeared on my face; I was recommended mesotherapy or plasma lifting. The doctor said that in my situation it is better to choose facial plasma lifting, because it requires my plasma, and not some chemicals. Well, I agreed! And after the procedure, my face was very swollen. The cosmetologist suggested that this was a complication due to pregnancy. I started looking for information and found out that during pregnancy you can’t do plasma lifting at all, or even mesotherapy! Apparently they don’t care about human health, they only think about money.

Recovery after plasma lifting

Rehabilitation is necessary to avoid complications from plasma lifting.

Rules of conduct for obtaining maximum effect:

• for the first 1-2 days, it is necessary to avoid contact of the face with anything (you cannot wash your face, apply makeup, or comb your hair if the procedure was performed on the scalp);
• It is forbidden to heat the treated area (visit a solarium, bathhouse, or be in the sun);
• if there is pain, you can apply a cool compress to your face without pressing hard on it;
• It is not recommended to do massage or other physical procedures on the treated area for the next few days;
• You should refrain from taking blood thinners and alcohol.

The number of plasma lifting procedures is determined by a cosmetologist. This depends on the following factors: the essence of the problem, the degree of its manifestation, the age of the patient, the primary condition of the skin. Typically the course ranges from 4 to 6 procedures. Between them you need a gap of 10–14 to 30 days. The result of plasma lifting is interesting when the effect of it is visible.

What procedures are combined with plasma therapy for facial skin?

Plasma therapy goes well with many cosmetic and medical procedures:

• Biorevitalization.
• Chemical peels of varying depths of impact.
• Radio lifting.
• Bioreinforcement.
• Laser photothermolysis.
• Laser hyaluronoplasty.
• Exposure to a combined laser.

For example, the action of a combined laser increases the rejuvenation effect after facial plasma therapy, laser hyaluroplasty trains the skin, preparing it to increase the level of hyaluronic acid, and laser photothermolysis consolidates the effects of facial plasma therapy.

What are the analogues of facial plasma therapy?

Plasma therapy is usually compared with other cosmetic and medical services that help combat signs of aging and improve the overall condition of facial skin:

• Mesotherapy. The procedure is carried out using an injection, which includes a specific mixture of drugs, it is designed to solve certain skin problems.
• Hyaluronic acid injections. This substance makes the skin more elastic and eliminates wrinkles.
• Rejuvenation with ozone. It is injected into problem areas. Ozone is able to activate cellular metabolism, which promotes renewal of the subcutaneous tissue, improves complexion and corrects skin imperfections.
• Botox and Dysport injections can correct wrinkles and tighten the skin. The substances included in the preparations relax the facial muscles, which guarantees a lifting effect.
• Facial contouring. This procedure involves the introduction of various substances based on hyaluronic acid, the skin of the face is smoothed and tightened.
