Skin problems are not always on our agenda. Acne, pimples, redness - do not give rest, making the skin aesthetically unattractive. Today, if there are many ways to deal with imperfections, one of them is plasma lifting. This procedure is used in surgery, gynecology, dentistry, gynecology, cosmetology, and has already won many good reviews.
Plasmolifting for acne is a fairly common procedure that is used in various aesthetic medicine institutions. Let's look at this procedure in more detail.
Plasmolifting and acne
Many people know that if you get rid of acne incorrectly, scars and cracks can remain. Cosmetologists face such moments when patients with problem skin come to them. These scars are not at all easy to remove. After the plasma lifting procedure, scars, acne, and rashes go away.
The procedure takes place in several stages:
- The cosmetologist performs laser resurfacing and peeling procedures - this will activate the production of epidermal cells and speed up their metabolism. Due to this, the natural replacement of damaged tissues with healthy ones occurs.
- The second stage, at which plasma lifting is done, which starts the process of skin renewal. This procedure not only has a healing effect, but also by accelerating the restoration of epidermal tissue, the face looks clean and beautiful.
Important! Injections with platelet autoplasma help normalize the care of the sebaceous glands and strengthen the body's defenses.
Plasmolifting does not allow the disease to worsen for a long time, giving long-lasting beauty and perfection to the skin.
Reviews
Olga, 39 years old “Over the past year, my face has somehow aged dramatically. It’s too early to have plastic surgery, but I don’t want to look at my flabby skin either. I spent a long time collecting information and reviews on various anti-aging techniques for the face, and decided to settle on plasma lifting - after all, nothing extraneous is introduced. I went to the cosmetologist 4 times, there was an effect - my face was noticeably fresher. Large wrinkles have not yet disappeared. Let's see what happens after the full course."
Maria, 32 years old “Since school I’ve been trying to improve the condition of my skin; there are noticeable acne scars on my cheeks. I use foundation all year round, but it does little to hide the defect. I underwent laser peeling and in addition decided to undergo plasma lifting for post-acne. The face became much cleaner, the redness decreased. I want to finally get rid of the problem, so I decided to regularly repeat the course.”
Christina, 29 years old “I have very dry skin, there is always a feeling of tightness and flaking. Moisturizers don't help. Many drugs are not suitable for me, as allergies immediately appear. Plasmolifting really works, after the second session my condition improved significantly.”
What does plasma lifting do?
Plasmolifting is unique due to the fact that the regeneration processes of the skin are started using its own blood. Venous blood is taken from the patient, platelet autoplasma is isolated from it, which will be injected into the face. Platelets, penetrating the epidermal tissue, begin to activate growth factors that are necessary for renewal.
A few minutes after administration, vasodilation is observed, the cells begin to be saturated. Platelets begin to release fibroblasts, which activate the formation of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for the elasticity, tone, and density of the skin. This leads to an increase in the amount of hyaluronic acid in the epidermal tissues, elasticity is restored, and moisture is retained.
Who should do plasma lifting?
In cosmetology, this procedure is one of the most popular and effective. Due to the fact that after the introduction of platelet autoplasma young cells are formed, the procedure has proven itself in various dermatological problems.
Who should do it:
- to prevent fine wrinkles;
- to reduce skin folds;
- people suffering from sagging skin;
- for the treatment of acne and other inflammatory rashes;
- with severe dry skin;
- recovery after peeling;
- for the destruction of highly pigmented skin areas.
Important! Plasmolifting has a similar effect as biorevitalization and botulinum toxin procedures.
This technique shows the best results in patients aged 26-42 years. After 43, it is necessary to carry out plasma lifting in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures.
FAQ
Plasmolifting of the face is an effective way to combat acne; it helps eliminate not only acne, but also acne scars. The procedure itself has a noticeable rejuvenating effect, as the skin is renewed at the cellular level, and there are no allergic reactions. Plasmolifting comprehensively improves the condition of facial skin, therefore it is widely used in aesthetic cosmetology for non-surgical rejuvenation.
The recommended number of plasma lifting sessions depends on your age and the condition of your facial skin. It is better to ask this question to a cosmetologist at the clinic. Please note that, as a rule, when purchasing a course, the cost of a separate procedure is cheaper, so it is better to check the recommended number of sessions in advance.
The facial plasmolifting procedure is not painful; an anesthetic cream is applied to the skin before platelet injections. The injections themselves can cause discomfort, depending on the qualifications of the doctor, the individual characteristics of the skin on the face and your personal pain threshold.
Average prices for plasma lifting for the face
The cost of plasma lifting is comparable to the prices for mesotherapy and biorevitalization - from 2500 to 8000 rubles per session. You shouldn’t save money by choosing the cheapest clinics. The danger of getting an infection with a syringe is quite high in the absence of disposable instruments and proper sterilization. It would not be superfluous to remind you that carrying out cosmetic procedures associated with violating the integrity of the skin is prohibited at home.
Plasmolifting shows excellent effectiveness in eliminating age-related skin changes. The combination of the technique with accompanying procedures allows you to achieve pronounced lifting and smoothing of wrinkles. The absence of the risk of rejection increases the accessibility of the procedure and minimizes possible side effects.

Contraindications for plasma lifting
Despite its complete safety, it is worth considering that this is an injection method, so there may be a risk of pathogenic bacteria or infection penetrating the skin. If there are small inflammations or ulcers on the face, then it is better not to carry out plasma lifting. Not allowed for AIDS or hepatitis C.
Also, cosmetic procedures are not performed for clients who have malignant neoplasms or chronic kidney diseases. It is also contraindicated during pregnancy and lactation due to the weakening of the body's defenses.
Causes of the problem
Getting rid of acne without finding out the cause of its appearance is only possible for a short time.
They will form again and again until the main factors provoking the problem are eliminated. Therefore, you should start with an analysis of your health and lifestyle, independently or with the help of doctors. The appearance of acne on the face can be caused by:
- Hormonal disorders. It is due to significant jumps in hormone levels that acne appears in teenagers. Women often face the same problem during pregnancy or menopause. When the hormonal levels are equalized, they disappear without any additional treatment. If there are endocrine disruptions, it can be almost impossible to get rid of acne.
- Poor nutrition. An abundance of fatty, spicy, sweet and fried foods stimulates increased sebum secretion. Pores become clogged and skin becomes oily. Pathogenic microorganisms thrive on it and begin to multiply rapidly and provoke inflammatory processes.
- Irregular or improper care. Often the cause of acne in women is the abuse of decorative cosmetics, especially long-acting foundation creams. They clog pores, prevent the skin from breathing, and promote the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria. Surprisingly, acne can also appear with frequent use of products with triclosan, which kill not only harmful, but also beneficial microflora.
- Allergic reactions. Small pimples usually go away within just a few hours after stopping exposure to the allergen. However, with very sensitive skin (or if the irritating factor is not eliminated), they can become chronic and remain on the face for up to several months.
- Chronic diseases. Usually the appearance of acne is provoked by malfunctions of the gastrointestinal tract. This is due to chronic intoxication of the body, since with poor digestion the skin receives insufficient nutrition, and the normal removal of waste and toxins is disrupted.
Not all of the factors listed above can be eliminated quickly. And in this case, plasma lifting for acne can become an important part of complex therapy, which will significantly speed up the achievement of the desired result.
How does the plasma lifting procedure proceed to eliminate acne?
There is no significant discomfort during the procedure, so many patients tolerate it quickly and without problems. Slight pain may be observed only at the time of injection. If the patient suffers from a reduced pain threshold, then an anesthetic ointment can be used.
First, the skin is cleaned and disinfected with disinfectants. Such treatment is necessary so that an inflammatory reaction does not occur, infection or pathogenic microorganisms do not enter the blood.
Next, venous blood is taken from the person and centrifuged to distribute all components.
Important! The procedure uses a special powerful centrifuge; the quality of the platelet autoplasma depends on its performance.
As a result, a yellow liquid comes out, which is ready for administration. After centrifugation, it must be administered quickly because plasma tends to clot quickly. If the procedure must take place later, then an anticoagulant is added to the tube with autoplasma for longer storage.
The cosmetologist administers mesotherapy-type injections. Therefore, the patient experiences virtually no discomfort. The duration of the procedure is from 30 to 45 minutes.
Side effects or how to care for your face after the procedure
No interventions in the body pass without leaving a trace, and plasma lifting is no exception. After the injection, a slight pastiness of the area will be noticeable. But this is not scary, because... The injection site will go away tomorrow.
What not to do after the procedure:
- You should not wear makeup or cosmetics for the first 24 hours after the injection.
- It is worth refusing to visit the bathhouse, swimming pool, sauna for 7 days.
- Stop smoking and drinking alcohol for a week;
- Do not stay in the sun for a long time.
Important! If signs of a severe inflammatory process are noticeable, you should urgently consult a doctor.
Plasmolifting is done once every 2 weeks. The number of procedures depends on the severity of the skin lesion. For some, 2 times every six months will be enough to achieve the effect, for others more. The maximum number of injections per course is 6. With proper skin care, the effect can last up to 2 years.
Preparing for injections
Plasma therapy for the face (reviews and descriptions of the method will tell you how to prepare correctly) requires proper preparation so that the procedure can bring the fastest possible effect.
The doctor should tell you what nuances of therapy should be taken into account when taking the course:
- The preparation stage takes place 7 days before the start of the procedure and begins with the refusal to carry out peeling procedures. It is recommended to perform only facial massage.
- To stabilize the functioning of the circulatory system, it is necessary to stop taking medications for several days that can affect blood clotting (for example, aspirin).
- A day before the start of plasma therapy, it is necessary to follow a gentle diet, which excludes the consumption of harmful foods that have a detrimental effect on the functioning of the liver and stomach. It is recommended to take foods that contain a large amount of preservatives and spices.
- For 2 days you should drink a lot of fluid in the form of high-quality and clean water.
- 5 hours before the start of the procedure, you must refuse food and take a test for HIV, hepatitis and a general chemical blood test. At his or her discretion, the doctor may order additional tests.
When the doctor receives the test results, the specialist will conclude that the procedure can be performed and will carry it out if no contraindications are found.
