Plasmolifting - test tubes, which needles are best for plasma therapy

Plasmolifting – what is it?

The procedure is based on subcutaneous or intramuscular injections of blood plasma. The liquid part of the blood with platelets (it has a uniform, viscous, light yellow consistency) is obtained in a centrifuge.

Test tubes with blood taken from the patient are placed in the device, where under the influence of centrifugal force the blood breaks down into fractions. For manipulation, the middle layer is taken - it contains the maximum number of platelets.

Platelet-rich plasma is injected into problematic areas, more often at the request of those applying for plasma lifting. This could be the face, neck.

As a result, these parts look younger, since plasma, triggering natural rejuvenation processes, activates the body’s most important internal resources.

The first studies using plasma on animals were carried out in 2001. After 2 years, the procedure was performed on humans. When another 3 years passed, this technique began to be officially used in medicine.

At the end of the cosmetology event:

• blood circulation and cell division accelerate;
• collagen production is enhanced;
• the capillary structure grows;
• metabolism accelerates;
• cell nutrition increases.

Plasmolifting is also carried out on the scalp, which improves the structure of the hair and fights baldness. This procedure may also be beneficial for joint health.

If the event is carried out with violations, blood accumulates in ordinary test tubes, a guaranteed result from plasma lifting should be expected to a minimum. Often it is not observed at all.

How to choose the right tubes for PRF, PRP therapy and plasma lifting. Educational program. (PHOTO)

Often one has to deal with the absolute uncertainty of dental colleagues in the choice of tubes used to obtain fibrin clots and platelet-rich plasma. This is understandable; dentists did not delve as deeply into physiology as doctors did. Hence the problem - insufficient level of mastery of the subject. I will only be glad if you, dear colleague, have studied hematology well, but statistics cannot be fooled; this article will benefit many doctors who want to start using the PRF technique in their practice.

I propose to start by listing the goals, and then move on to ways to achieve these goals. If you haven’t read my previous article “How to properly prepare PRF clots,” I highly recommend it!

So, goals.

1) Obtaining platelet-rich plasma, which thickens before use

PRF clots. This is the thickened part of the blood plasma, containing many growth factors for osteo- and angiogenesis. Membranes and plugs can be prepared from them using a special PRF-BOX. The essence of the PRF box is to squeeze out fibrin in order to free it from excess plasma. Membranes are used to cover bone materials, palate defects after the collection of gum grafts, Schneider's membrane during its perforations and simply sinus lifts, and are used for periodontal surgery. Plugs - for filling post-extraction sockets of teeth and periodontal defects. Outside of dentistry, clots are used to regenerate mucous membranes and skin. Also, the clots can be cut into small pieces with scissors and mixed with bone substitutes.

Key words: PRF (platelet rich fibrin); A-PRF (advanced - increased type); CGF (concentrated growth factor - concentrated growth factor);

SUPERFIBRIN (ideal (best) method for preparing fibrin clots).

2) Obtaining platelet-rich plasma, which thickens after use

This plasma is used to mix with a bone substitute in order to stabilize it and give it a certain shape. For injections into periodontal tissues in order to improve their blood supply and change the biotype of the gums. Sometimes for gluing the edges of the mucous membrane, for example, Schneider's membrane.

Key words: i-PRF (injectable) AFG (autologic fibrin glue) Sticky Bone (sticky bone)

3) Obtaining platelet-rich plasma, which will NOT thicken in the future

PRP plasma. It is used for PRP therapy, for example, skin and joints. In cosmetology it is now fashionable to say: “Plasmolifting”. The method of obtaining PRP assumes that the plasma will not clot either before or after injection into the patient’s body. The mechanism of action is the same growth factors.

Key words: PRP (platelet rich plasma) Plasma therapy Plasmolifting

Some general information about vacuum tubes

It all starts with drawing blood from the patient's vein. Progress does not stand still and the time has already passed when it was taken with a syringe and poured into an ordinary test tube. Meet us! Pa-ra-ra-ram! Vacuum tubes! With them, the process of taking blood is quick, easy and convenient. Speed ​​is the determining factor in favor of choosing vacuum ones. To date, this is the only suitable standard for the PRF technique. Dot! And no other options. This is not the place to save money, otherwise the result can be divided by 10. The same goes for catheters for drawing blood from a patient's vein and tube holders.

There are many manufacturers in the world and almost all of them adhere to generally accepted standards (international: ISO 6710:1995, interstate: GOST ISO 6710-2011). There is currently no international agreement regarding color coding. When using color coding, the recommended codes from the table are:

Please note that these are just recommendations. For example, the table does not have a label for sodium citrate - blue. Therefore, you need to delve into the composition of the additive in more detail depending on the manufacturer, because There may be color coding differences.

Important! The manufacturer usually does not matter to the result. For example, the so-called “original” Chukrun tubes are made in China. And “Plasmolifting” is also produced in China. But it is worth noting that tubes of the same type from different manufacturers may still have different quality. For example, our English test tubes are better than Italian ones in terms of the quality of plasma activator spraying.

Now about the process of obtaining each type of plasma

1) Tubes for plasma that will thicken before use (PRF, A-PRF, SUPERFIBRIN clots)

First, let's understand the mechanisms. Blood coagulation is a complex biological process of the formation of fibrin protein filaments in the blood, which polymerize and form blood clots, as a result of which the blood loses its fluidity, acquiring a cheesy consistency. The coagulation activator can be silica/kaolin/glass surface. The last three activate factor 12, then thrombin is formed from prothrombin, which activates the transition of fibrinogen to fibrin. Well, fibrin is already doing its job - it binds and forms a clot.

Clotting time is 15-30 minutes (data from the tube manufacturer, centrifugation is not expected). Centrifugation and heating speed up this process. And yet, the rate of coagulation depends on the individual patient.

As a rule, thrombin tubes are not used to obtain PRF because Five minutes is not always enough for centrifugation. Let me remind you that the purpose of centrifugation is to sediment erythrocytes before fibrin binds. If you use a thrombin supplement, there is a high risk of thickening before the red blood cells separate, resulting in a red clot.

There remains the option with silica, kaolin or empty glass. Usually they have a red lid.

NB Carefully invert the tube 5-8 times to ensure complete mixing of the reagents. Do not shake: violent mixing may cause foaming and hemolysis!

So, for PRF and A-PRF you need tubes with a plasma activator (with silica or empty glass). If you still don’t have a PRF box, look here: PRF-BOX

You can buy tubes for PRF here: for A-PRF and here for PRF

The SUPERFIBRIN method involves the use of completely different tubes, look HERE

2) Tubes for plasma that will thicken after use (i-PRF, Sticky Bone, AFG)

The principle for obtaining i-PRF is as follows. The contents of the vein are collected into a container without a plasma activator. Some of the fluid is separated from the red cells before the fibrin begins to bind. The resulting cloudy red liquid, which has not yet coagulated, is quickly removed using a syringe and used just as quickly. After a few minutes the liquid will thicken.

NB The risk of using thrombin or a clotting activator is that the resulting i-PRF will thicken before it is used. The collection from the vein and the start of centrifugation should be lightning fast!

So, i-PRF requires tubes without an activator. iPRF tubes can be purchased HERE

The principle of obtaining AFG (Sticky Bone) is very similar, but has its own characteristics. Autologous fibrin glue for the so-called “sticky bone” is prepared in special tubes for sticky bone. Red cells settle as a result of centrifugation, the lower part of the plasma (up to 1/2) at the junction with red blood cells is taken with a syringe and used for its intended purpose.

NB Please note! The material was obtained without the use of a clotting activator, so the thickening process takes some time. All stages can be completed without haste. The speed and time of centrifugation can vary over a wide range; for AFG this is not a fundamental issue.

3) Test tubes for plasma that does not thicken (PRP, Plasmolifting)

The PRP therapy technique has been used for more than 15 years. The task when receiving centrifugate is erythrocyte sedimentation and prevention of coagulation. Typically, centrifugation is performed at a fairly high speed for 8-12 minutes, this time is enough for the red cells to settle. If you have not yet purchased a centrifuge, pay attention to this option: Centrifuge for PRF and plasma therapy

As for additives, it should be an anticoagulant that will prevent the centrifugate from clotting. Sodium citrate or sodium heparin can be used as an additive. Each of them has its own nuances. Sodium citrate blocks blood calcium and thereby blocks coagulation. But if you then add calcium chloride to the centrifuge, it will still coagulate.

Heparin is involved in the formation of the thrombin-antithrombin III complex, as a result of which thrombin, being bound, becomes unable to convert fibrinogen into fibrin, as a result of which the blood does not clot. After heparin, it is almost impossible to clot the blood, unless you add a large portion of thrombin. Both of these anticoagulants do not prevent platelet aggregation.

It is worth noting that after injections of PRP obtained with a heparin supplement, patients often experience the formation of hematomas. I hope the reasons are clear.

So, for PRP therapy and plasma lifting it is necessary to use vacutainers with sodium citrate or sodium heparin (not lithium). You can buy them HERE

Modern technical means

Today, centrifuges for plasma lifting are complex units with electronics. It is possible to install programs in them that allow you to separately monitor the phases of blood processing.

The speed of the drum rotation corresponds to the operation to completely separate the red blood cells and prevent damage to the platelet membranes.

Expensive material is designed for one-time use. This completely protects the patient from diseases transmitted by blood-based drugs.

European brands present individual kits with sterilized wipes, needles, syringes and special tubes.

Cosmetologists positively evaluate the convenience of the case, and patients are calm about their health, since the opening of the case occurs before their eyes.

When one’s own plasma is introduced, positive changes are observed: stimulation of the synthesis of fibroblasts and collagen, and increased production of hyaluron begins. You can also notice that the reparative processes that occur in the deep layers of the skin are accelerated.

Plastic surgeon Jed Horowitz

Platelet-rich plasma is also used in smoothing out wrinkles. In this situation, the biomaterial collected for injections in a syringe without a needle is placed in a portable thermostat for plasma lifting, where it remains for 12-15 minutes.

In a unit at a certain temperature, liquid plasma is converted into a viscous gel. Gel formation is used as a filler for the reconstruction of soft tissue volumes.

Advantages of Plasmolifting tubes:

Sterility of manipulations:

The technical characteristics of the Plasmolifting™ tube exclude contact of the patient’s blood with the external environment. The special design of the cap prevents secondary contamination of the tube during manipulations with blood and plasma.

Hypoallergenic.

The functional properties of the Plasmolifting™ tube allow the isolation of residual toxins released during the lysis of bacterial cells and metabolites of microorganisms, thereby eliminating the likelihood of adverse events after the procedure. Allergic reactions develop extremely rarely and only in patients with hypersensitivity to the anticoagulant.

Strength.

Our test tubes for the Plasmolifting™ procedure are made of high-quality medical borosilicate glass, the strength of which is almost 5 times higher than that of ordinary glass.

• Sodium is a natural component of the intercellular environment. It is enough to use a minimum amount of sodium ions, which does not have any negative effects on the human body, to obtain optimal characteristics of the injectable form of PRP.
• Plasmolifting technology involves the use of only high-quality sodium heparinate of infusion purification level. It must be remembered that the use of low purity heparin salts and the use of tubes not intended for plasma lifting can lead to severe allergic reactions!

Peculiarities :

• Tubes for plasma lifting of the Plasmolifting™ brand have another important advantage - a specially developed separation gel that increases the purification of plasma during centrifugation. It consists of an olefin copolymer, which has thixotropic properties and can trap sedimented red blood cells and hemolysis products.
• Such test tubes can be placed on the table, shaken and turned over. Purified plasma will not shake up and will not mix with centrifuged blood fractions. The separation gel even at ultra-low temperatures (down to -90°C!) makes it possible to preserve the properties of the plasma. Thanks to Plasmolifting™ plasma lifting tubes, a fundamentally new opportunity arises to create individual jars for each patient of ready-to-use plasma with maximum biological activity.

5+ best varieties of test tubes

Special tubes for plasma lifting are made of inert materials that do not come into contact with blood cells.

The value of this lies in the complete exclusion of penetration of third-party substances into the plasma. There is no air in the flasks, which makes blood sampling faster and easier, while at the same time the biomaterial does not “meet” with air.

There is more than one manufacturer of such products. But some are more popular.

Plasmolifting tubes (Russia)

Plasmolifting tubes are exceptionally designed, made from high quality glass and sealed with green caps.

In the depths there is heparin and a patented filter gel - it blocks the return path to the test tube for exfoliated red blood cells and prevents mixing of dissimilar layers of plasma.

A separate flask is packed in a self-contained foil box with the indicated date of thermal sterilization and maximum time of use.

A cardboard sachet with an unbroken hologram holds 20 test tubes (the capacity of one is 9 ml). Approximately 3-5 pieces are spent on a single patient, this is due to the size of the treated area.

Regenlab (Switzerland)

Regenlab – tubes for plasma lifting of the highest quality, easy to use for specialists. Everything required for manipulation is packed into a nice box and placed in self-contained airless packaging.

This Swiss manufacturer presents 4 types of tubes designed in relation to the results that are expected to be achieved:

1. Matrix vessels with already added hyaluronic acid to provide noticeable hydration to the skin and stimulate additional collagen production. Such injections are especially indicated for patients in the 40+ group who are dissatisfied with dry and sagging skin, multiple wrinkles, and blurred facial contours.
2. BCT are tubes with blue caps, designed for medical procedures, with sodium citrate inside (a special stimulant). The activator prolongs the vital activity of platelets, thereby increasing the quality of plasma.
3. ATS - with a red cap, inside there is a substance, under its influence the liquid plasma becomes condensed and converted into a gel. It is used to smooth out wrinkles, correct the face and eliminate visible signs of aging skin.
4. Regen ACR-Extra is a set of flasks that improve the structure of the skin and fight initial aging. For mature skin, red vessels Regen ACR - C Plus are suitable. Inside each there is an effective autogel, it models the oval of the face at the cellular level, stimulates the production of platelets

These tubes have been certified in the Russian Federation and are approved for use in cosmetology.

At a minimum, the case costs 200 USD. Consequently, the cost of the plasma lifting procedure is set no lower. A lower price for manipulation indicates that, most likely, a counterfeit product is provided.

Autosoma (Greece)

The tubes containing sodium citrate and separating gel are sealed with blue caps. The cost of Greek options is many times less than Swiss ones, but the quality, according to cosmetologists, is quite acceptable.

At the same time, the manufacturer advises to carry out plasma lifting not according to the generally accepted method with injections, but through the use of a dermaroller.

It is claimed that after using the device, the density of treatment of the problematic area increases, and the plasma is not allowed to “work” in the deep layers of the skin.

The effectiveness of manipulation is manifested in the prevention of premature aging and relief from wrinkles.

You can find test tubes and sachets from US manufacturers on the Internet. These are Arthrex Angel, Emcyte Genesis CS, Arteriocyte Magellan, Harvest SmartPrep, Biomet GPS III, etc.

In the Russian Federation, these products are not popular because the cost is too high. And it is not adapted to the centrifugation capabilities of devices from Europe. And the Israeli products Cellenis PRP System (Tropocells PRP) are completely unknown in the Russian Federation.

What it is?

Plasmolifting is based on the preparation of plasma from the patient’s own blood, taken from a vein, and its subsequent injection into the skin.

Being an innovative technology, plasma lifting is easy to perform:

1. the required amount of blood is taken from the patient;
2. then, during the centrifugation process, its plasma is separated (read about how to choose the right centrifuge for plasma lifting here);
3. Next, the resulting composition is injected into problem areas of the skin.

In this entire procedure, priority is given to a sterile test tube , in which the separation process will take place. It must have the property of preserving plasma with optimal accumulation of platelets in it - the restorative effect will depend on this. It is the test tubes made specifically for this procedure that make it possible to obtain a platelet-enriched composition that promotes the restoration of epidermal and dermal tissue.

Purified plasma injected into the skin of the face, neck, and décolleté causes the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid and slows down its aging (facial plasmolifting is described in detail here). In this way it promotes:

• smoothing skin and wrinkles;
• restoration of the structure of damaged hair;
• getting rid of acne that occurs due to hormonal changes;
• preventing hair loss and its result – baldness;
• reducing strip-like skin atrophy on the body.

The effectiveness of this method has been proven even in medical practice - it is used to treat pain due to joint pathologies. We wrote about what diseases plasma lifting helps with here.

Purchasing quality test tubes

Initially, such flasks must be sterile and safe. After all, when working with them, the doctor expects to completely eliminate his contact with the patient’s blood.

Other characteristic properties of the tubes are also no less significant for performing plasma lifting; they include:

• ease of operation due to the fact that the original flasks do not contain a mixture of separated plasma mass. Such vessels make it possible to work with biomaterial at any angle of the centrifuge;
• the processed substance must maintain the necessary therapeutic qualities. This is achievable only when operating with hermetically sealed test tubes;
• strength and reliability, giving products the ability not to split, not to crack, not to explode;
• hypoallergenic - there are no toxic ingredients in the administered substance, this ensures complete isolation of the plasma from bacterial decomposition.

A session with high-quality flasks reduces the procedure time by 10-12 minutes.

Plasmolifting tubes that are superior to competitors are made from bromo-butyl rubber material. The set contains a durable borosilicate glass flask and separated gel.

They are made from first-class materials, so the products in the kit last for a long time.

The test tubes can be inverted, placed on the tabletop in the chosen position, and shaken. Nothing will cause mixing of plasma with centrifuged blood portions.

When choosing test tubes, you should not “buy” into the low price category. It is correct to purchase test tubes on the official websites of manufacturers.

A package of 20 test tubes costs 8,000 rubles. (cost 1 piece 430 rub.). A box of 50 flasks can be easily ordered at a price of 16,500 (1 piece costs 290 rubles).

Types, their differences and purchase rules

Depending on the use of chemicals designed to inhibit blood clotting, test tubes are produced in the following types :

• with potassium salts EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid);
• 3.2 or 3.8 percent sodium citrate, which is used in a ratio of 1:9 to the amount of blood taken;
• with lithium, sodium and ammonium salts of heparin.

The latter type is used for plasma lifting. Sodium heparin salts are especially indicated , because sodium, which is part of the intercellular fluid, entering the body in small quantities, is not able to have a negative effect on it.
Due to the fact that EDTA salts should be injected into a vein by dropper, and sodium citrate with such an injection has an aggressive effect on the body, we do not use them for such procedures.

Typically, cosmetic clinics use several types of tubes for plasma lifting, including the so-called vacuum and Akhmerov tubes (named after the Russian author of the improved plasma lifting technology, Professor R. Akhmerov).

To produce the former, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is used. But it has its negative impact. Because this substance has hydrophobic properties: it causes plasma cells to “stick” to the inner surface of the test tube . This process is prevented by siliconization (internal treatment of vessels with silicones).

Glass is used in the production of Akhmer test tubes. However, it also activates blood clotting. Therefore, it should also be siliconized.

However, Russian researchers solved this problem differently. They suggested pollinating the inside of the tube with low molecular weight heparin.

When choosing such blood collection flasks for the procedure, pay attention to:

• absolute sterility;
• ease of use - the test tube should not allow plasma to mix in any position, even when shaken;
• tightness;
• strength;
• hypoallergenic.

Original or fake (How to tell the difference?)

Since the plasma lifting procedure is extremely popular among patients, many inexpensive counterfeits from China are released onto the market.

Of course, good products are also produced in this country. But only if this is reflected in contracts officially signed with manufacturers and the products produced are strictly controlled.

It is known that the quality of Chinese fakes is difficult to distinguish from the original in comparison with the original. Indirect signs will help you figure it out.

1. Lower price than genuine samples - cheap test tubes cost several times less.
2. Low-grade packaging is not vacuum-sealed foil, but ordinary plastic or a combination of it with paper wrapper.
3. There is no “Plasmolifting” inscription on the box or it is written in Russian.
4. There is no certificate, although it is certainly attached to each individual batch of a branded product.

In the process of performing plasma lifting, it is necessary to focus on opening expensive materials. A conscientious doctor begins opening only with gloves in front of a particular patient.

If it turns out that a specialist has prepared a test tube without a sachet, you should not hesitate to demand to show which flask he is going to carry out the procedure with. Most likely, this is an inexpensive counterfeit, offered to the patient at the price of the original.

Criteria for selecting cones

When choosing these miniature cones, you should understand what criteria need to be followed. First of all, these mini-containers must be safe and absolutely sterile. When using test tubes, contact of the cosmetologist with the client’s blood should be excluded. Important characteristics such as:

1. Ease of use. In high-quality products, plasma mixing does not occur. Such vessels allow the material (blood) to be processed at any angle of rotation of the centrifuge.
2. The substance obtained during processing should not lose its therapeutic qualities, therefore the containers must be airtight.
3. Strength of cones. Products should not burst, crack or break.
4. Hypoallergenic. The injected substance must not contain any toxins. This is achieved by isolating blood plasma from bacterial breakdown products.

The production of quality tubes requires careful control.

Reviews

NADEZhDA, 40 YEARS OLD:

“Before going for plasmolifting of the face, I learned a lot about it.
Namely: when is it permissible to do it, what are the contraindications, how many tubes are needed. I chose a doctor certified and trained in the technique, and made sure that the blood collection tubes were original.

And now I am happy with the result after the 2nd procedure. I follow all the doctor’s recommendations. I’m very pleased!”

LARISA, 35 YEARS OLD:

“After 3 plasma lifting procedures, the effect was impressive: the skin was tightened and refreshed.
But not to say wow. From experience, before the procedure you need to donate blood for a general analysis. And if the platelets are below the normal limit, then the manipulation will be useless. I also noticed that without anesthesia, although it hurts more during injections, the results are more noticeable.

And another piece of advice for those who have planned an important meeting or a trip to a restaurant in the next 3 days. It is better to postpone plasma lifting, as bruises and red spots from injections will appear after it. You probably don’t want to put tons of makeup on your face.”

EVGENIYA, 30 YEARS OLD:

“I was dissatisfied with the only plasma lifting procedure.
The effect was short-lived. A course of treatment will probably help. But it is painful and expensive. It is also important how the injections are given. In my case, nothing was added to the plasma, the procedure was carried out quickly - the vital activity of the plasma was about 2 minutes. I think the method is effective in cases of skin restoration, for example, after burns. But I didn’t apply for a repeat session.”

The relationship between the quality of the tubes and the result of the procedure

So, plasma lifting can be carried out not only in cosmetology, but also in plastic surgery, ophthalmology, dentistry and even traumatology. As in the case of cosmetology, the patient's plasma is injected into designated problem areas. It is very important that the glass tube used for blood collection is sterile.

Manufacturers of such medical test tubes use high-quality glass and resort to special technologies. The tubes used for this procedure must be able to maintain the appropriate concentration of platelets, which will provide an excellent restorative effect.

The material used for the production of such test tubes is selected with special care, and then processed using special technology. The walls of the manufactured vessels are endowed with repulsive properties, which avoids the presence of excess impurities in the plasma.

As a rule, many patients are very wary of blood sampling, considering this procedure unpleasant and painful. However, the use of plasma lifting tubes makes this process quick and comfortable for both the attending physician and the patient. But not everyone will understand how to choose the most suitable test tubes from such a variety.

Elsa Borodina

plastic surgeon

We often use tubes for plasma lifting manufactured by Israel. I think they have the best price/quality ratio. They speed up the procedure, but for the patient the test tube model does not affect the result in any way. The result of PRP is influenced by the quality of the blood and the model of the centrifuge (should be 2000-4000 revolutions). Patients over 50 years of age usually have low platelet counts (thrombocytopenia). That is why plasmolifting in this case changes to mesotherapy with ready-made stem cells (animal products).

The quality of test tubes, as well as equipment, adherence to all norms and rules affects the final result (by 90%).
That is why you need to choose a good doctor, and do not hesitate to ask him any questions you may have. You can also ask to see equipment certificates. There are many important points in carrying out plasma lifting. And the “correct” test tubes are not the last place in the process. That is why it is worth not only asking doctors what products they will use, but also checking the veracity of the doctor’s words.

Test tubes for plasma lifting:

Plasmolifting tubes (Plasmolifting™ tubes) Plasmolifting is based on the principles of PRP therapy (Platelet Rich Plasma - platelet rich plasma), that is, it uses elements isolated from plasma: proteins, hormones and vitamins, Enlarge photo which, in combination with platelets, accelerate cell renewal and tissue repair.
To obtain plasma with high therapeutic properties, it requires special processing. Tubes for plasma lifting of the Plasmolifting™ brand, when centrifuging blood, allow you to obtain plasma with a high concentration of platelets.

Plasmolifting tubes qualitatively separate blood into 3 fractions: red blood cells, plasma and a fraction enriched with platelets and growth factors. They contain an anticoagulant - highly purified sodium heparin of infusion quality and a biologically inert gel, which ensures a clear separation of blood fractions along a density gradient, while maintaining the composition and properties of plasma.

Patented tubes for plasma lifting:

The cost of one test tube is 330 rubles

How does the procedure work?

Blood is taken from a vein into a special vacuum tube that contains an anticoagulant. The medication is necessary to prevent blood rich in fibrinogen and prothrombin from immediately clotting.

This is usually the sodium salt of heparin, which has undergone thorough purification. The amount of a substance that inhibits blood clotting is very small, therefore, as a rule, it does not cause side effects after injection into the problem area.

To ensure that the plasma is thoroughly cleaned of excess blood elements, a separation gel is sometimes added to the test tubes; it retains unnecessary fractions and improves the quality of plasma digestion.

This is a kind of sorbent for red blood cells, which does not affect the properties of platelet serum. Next, the biomaterial is placed in special sections of the drum for subsequent filtration.

Where to buy a centrifuge for plasma lifting

You can buy a cheap centrifuge for plasma lifting in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod and other Russian cities on the Internet, as well as in specialized stores that sell medical equipment.

To be sure of the authenticity of the equipment, it is better to buy from trusted sellers who value their reputation.

If the purchase is made via the Internet, then it is better to order the product from the official distributor of the manufacturing company, or at retail outlets that provide a long-term guarantee for the product.
