Autoplasma therapy (synonyms: PRP therapy, plasma lifting, plasma therapy) is the introduction into the skin of blood plasma isolated from the patient’s blood and rich in platelets (Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)) in order to stimulate the production of collagen fibers by the body’s own.
In cosmetology, this procedure without surgery or the use of foreign drugs helps get rid of wrinkles, restore youth and elasticity of the skin, and also restore hair growth and structure by activating blood microcirculation and metabolic processes in the body tissues. All this happens thanks to the action of platelet-rich plasma. The effect of autoplasma therapy is achieved due to the release of various growth factors by platelets, which trigger and enhance tissue repair processes.

The effect becomes noticeable after the first session and lasts for two years after the course of procedures.
Plasmolifting is used as an independent rejuvenating technique and as rehabilitation measures after other plastic surgeries. This is a highly effective and completely safe procedure.

Reviews about the use of facial plasmolifting
Professional opinion about the effectiveness of the procedure is quite vague and vague, since doctors still consider the results of plasma lifting to be questionable. There is no reliable evidence that this procedure, alone from other techniques, can bring the desired result. It is believed that the term “plasmolifting” is more often used for marketing purposes, so that fillers are purchased from manufacturers in combination with the patient’s plasma. Despite this, there are a large number of positive reviews of this procedure on the Internet.
- Evgenia. I signed up my daughter for plasma lifting, who has been trying to fight acne for a long time. We performed 3 procedures plus additionally signed up for peeling. The result is amazing, the skin became clean and smooth, there were practically no acne marks left. We are very glad that we decided to go for the procedure.
- Tamara. With age, serious changes in the skin began to appear. She became lethargic and flabby, her face seemed to blur. I don’t really want to go under a scalpel, so I decided to sign up for plasma facial lifting. The doctor prescribed me 4 procedures, after which I looked exactly 5 years younger, no less. I am very pleased with the result.

Stages of implementation
Not a single good cosmetologist will take blood from a client who comes into his office for the first time, because the consequences can be disappointing.
Surveys
To get the desired look from plasma therapy, the patient will have to carefully prepare:
- Go through all kinds of laboratory tests. Donate blood for general and biochemical tests, determination of HIV infection, Wasserman reaction, hepatitis.
- Visual inspection. A cosmetologist studies the condition of the skin, carefully listening to all the client’s complaints and wishes.
- Making a decision to carry out the procedure. When the patient has received positive test results that allow the specialist to conduct a session, he sets a day and time.
- Choosing the timing. Most often, a rejuvenating session is carried out in the morning and on an empty stomach.
Preparation
Before the session, the specialist is obliged to give additional information to the patient, which will allow the body to properly prepare for the procedure.
The patient must exclude:
- all fatty, sour, salty, fried foods and caffeine;
- various types of physical activity;
- stop using nicotine and alcohol;
- do not eat food 7-8 hours before the session.
The doctor recommends adding more water to your diet - at least two liters per day - to maintain the body's water balance.

Progress of the procedure
Only a qualified specialist in the field of pharmacology, cosmetology and dermatology who understands the impact, in particular, the components of the drugs, have on the patient’s body and skin has the right to carry out a rejuvenation session using this technology.
The procedure is performed only under sterile conditions and all sanitary standards are met.
Plasma therapy has a number of specific stages:
- Preparation of the drug. Venous blood (20-60 ml) of the patient is taken and placed in a beaker containing an anticoagulant and gel (auxiliary substances for separating the blood). The composition is processed in a special centrifuge, where the blood is separated into red blood cells, white blood cells and plasma.
- Skin cleansing. Before manipulation, I treat the patient’s skin with an antiseptic and perform peeling for a high-quality effect.
- Anesthesia. The specialist administers anesthesia to the areas where the plasma will be injected.
- Plasma injection. Once the anesthesia has taken effect, the doctor, using cosmetic needles, injects the substance into the epidermis into those areas where there are wrinkles and other skin problems.
To achieve the expected result, it may take from 3 to 12 visits to a cosmetologist, which are repeated no earlier than after 7 days, depending on the type and problems of the skin.
How is the procedure done?
Plasmolifting of the face is a low-traumatic procedure and quite fast, about 40 minutes.
The session begins with a general blood test and consultation with a doctor. It is also recommended to undergo 3 sessions of intravenous ozone infusions to improve blood health, as a result of which infections and pathogenic bacteria are destroyed and platelets are activated for the most effective cellular and tissue regeneration. During the session, blood is drawn from the patient on an empty stomach in the morning, in a dose of about 20 ml, the volume of the sample depends on the area of the problem area, as well as the degree of skin aging. After this, the blood is placed in a centrifuge - a special machine. There it is divided into fractions, one of them is platelet-rich plasma. The prepared serum is immediately injected into the treated area on the face using thin needles, into the epidermis (skin) into the area of wrinkles and other problem areas.
With the help of growth factors, the introduced platelets begin to stimulate cell renewal and growth, causing them to work actively and correctly, without failures. One procedure is not enough to achieve the desired result; the operation must be performed several more times. The course of rejuvenation therapy is 3-12 sessions with an interval of 7 days between each session. After the first session, the result already becomes obvious and remains unchanged for 6-12 months. The method has proven itself well as a corrector of aesthetic imperfections (loss of skin tone, enlarged pores, wrinkles, post-acne, acne, stretch marks and stretch marks).
