- 3 comments
Plasmolifting of the scalp is one of the effective ways to rejuvenate and improve the condition of the scalp. This method helps solve the problem of seborrhea (dandruff), thinning and hair loss. The use of the patient’s own blood plasma eliminates the occurrence of allergies and other negative consequences.
The process itself involves administering plasma obtained from the patient’s blood under the scalp. The average course is 6-10 injections with an interval of 1 week. Since the procedure can be painful and has some contraindications, a mandatory consultation with a trichologist is necessary.

Olga, 45 years old
“My husband underwent the procedure of plasmalofting of the scalp; baldness was his sore subject at that time. After consultation with a trichologist and a specialist at the cosmetic center, 8 injections were prescribed. Since my husband is afraid of pain, we asked for pain relief in advance. After 2-3 sessions there were no results. Then my hair stopped falling out. At the end of all the procedures, an incomprehensible “fluff” began to grow. We never got the results that the doctors promised us. But of course there are changes.”
Lena, 36 years old
“I underwent a water plasma lifting procedure from clinics in St. Petersburg. The hair loss was borderline horrific. We carried out 8 procedures with an interval of the first four per week, and the second four – in 10 days. The final result was only stopping hair loss. I never saw any new gorgeous hair. The trichologist recommends repeating the procedure after two months. Hope. That next time I will get an even better result.”
Yulia, 25 years old
“Despite the result obtained, it is worth noting that the procedure is not cheap. The minimum price for plasma injection into the scalp is about 4,000 rubles. In more famous clinics, the procedure can reach 10-11 thousand rubles. Since it is necessary to undergo at least 4 procedures (on average 6-7 are prescribed), the cost will be rather high. By the way, you need to take tests in advance (also for a fee) and visit a good specialist - a trichologist.”
Contraindications for performance
Before choosing plasma lifting as the main treatment for scars, you need to determine whether you have any contraindications.
Absolute restrictions include the following:
- Systemic blood diseases.
- Oncology.
- Diabetes.
- Mental disorders.
There are also a number of temporary contraindications:
- Pregnancy and lactation.
- Inflammation and redness of the skin.

How is it carried out?
Let's talk in more detail about how plasma injections are performed. The total duration of the procedure in the clinic varies from 20 to 60 minutes:
First, the patient is examined.- Blood is drawn.
- Centrifugation is carried out, resulting in the separation of platelet-rich plasma.
- The surface is disinfected and, if necessary, treated with anesthetic cream.
- Using syringes, plasma is injected into the scar tissue and the area around it.
- The skin is re-disinfected.
Recommendations after
In order to prevent complications and increase the effectiveness of the injected plasma, you will need to follow several rules:
- Do not use decorative and cosmetic products for 1-2 days.
- Do not wash your face on the first day after the procedure.
- Avoid visiting the bathhouse, sauna and swimming pool.
- Limit exposure to the sun and avoid solariums.
Duration of treatment
It is very difficult to unequivocally answer the question of how many procedures will be required and what effect can be achieved.
The average course duration is 4-6 sessions with a break from several days to several weeks or even months. The first results can be noticed after the first injections, but you should not count on a too noticeable effect.
In order to achieve a significant improvement in the condition of the skin and make the scars almost invisible, you will need to strictly follow the doctor’s recommendations before and after the event.

Positive reviews
Elena, 40 years old
“I won’t say that I’m old, only 40 years old. But I needed a lifting not only of my face and hands, but also a plasma lifting of my head. The price suited me, as a fairly wealthy person, quite well. At the same time I did several procedures on different parts of the head (hair, hands, face). The effect appeared after the 3rd procedure. The face and hands were smoothed out. My hair became more vibrant and stopped falling out in terrifying amounts (payback for previously getting used to dyes). Some people complain of pain, I was unpleasant, but not painful. Depends on the threshold of pain, that is, individually. I'm satisfied with the result."
Olga, 46 years old
“My makeup artist advised me to do plasma lifting of the scalp. She gave me the coordinates where the discount was supposed to be. First I had to have a long conversation with the doctor. Get tested. Find out all my chronic diseases and exclude contraindications. As a result, I was allowed to undergo this procedure. The procedure itself is not pleasant, for some it will even be painful, but it is still unpleasant to receive injections into the head. 6 injections were prescribed at weekly intervals. After the second injection, the condition of the hair noticeably improved and strands no longer remained on the comb. Only 3-4 hairs. After the last injection, I noticed the growth of new hair so far only 2 centimeters, but you can immediately see that it is healthy and not thin, like fluff. I plan to repeat the procedure after some time. The price, taking into account all the tests taken, was 35,000 rubles for the entire course.”
Anastasia, 20 years old
“I came to the clinic with a long-standing problem - seborrhea. Endless trips to a trichologist, taking dietary supplements, using various shampoos, masks, etc. led nowhere. In the end, the trichologist advised me to go to one of the clinics to undergo a plasma lifting procedure for the scalp. I underwent a full examination by a therapist and passed all the necessary tests. They gave me a course of 5 injections. After the second injection, the itching completely disappeared, dandruff disappeared significantly, the sebaceous glands began to produce a moderate amount of oil. Hair became lighter. At the end of the course, the hair became lush, light, and not weighed down. At the same time, I did not change the hair wash product in order to check the effect of the procedure. I don't regret the money spent. If the problem comes back again, I will definitely go through this procedure again.”
Polina, 38 years old
“After the stress, my hair began to fall out a lot. I was just doing plasma lifting of the face, and the specialist advised me to try plasma lifting of the head. A good discount was promised for the joint procedure. I took a risk. And I didn’t regret anything. Hair stopped falling out and began to grow faster (immediately visible from undyed roots). Therefore, I immediately received a double effect: tightened facial skin and luxurious hair.”
Contraindications for anti-aging cryotherapy
Despite the fact that cryolifting is a fairly safe and non-traumatic procedure, there are a number of nuances that must be observed when performing it:
- this procedure is contraindicated for people who have problems with blood clotting;
- cryotherapy is not recommended if there is an allergy to cold (cold urticaria);
- it is worth abandoning this method of rejuvenation in case of frequent relapses of herpetic eruptions;
- the procedure is contraindicated for acute viral or infectious diseases;
- People with atherosclerosis should not resort to facial cryotherapy.
Before conducting a cold rejuvenation session, as in the case of any therapeutic or cosmetic effects on the body, you should consult a specialist.
Procedure at home
What should girls do who do not have money or time for frequent visits to a cosmetologist? There is a solution - cryolifting at home.
To do this, you just need to take a special form out of the freezer, fill it with water, and leave it overnight. You can add seasonal berries or special herbs to the water, which additionally saturate the skin with nutrients. At-home treatments are a complement to salon care. Only this combination will keep your skin in excellent condition. If necessary, the course is repeated twice a year.

It will be more effective to use not simple frozen water, but herbal teas. It is recommended to use ready-made mixtures, which can be easily purchased at a pharmacy or collected and dried by women themselves during the spring and summer seasons.
Cryolifting at home is possible for any woman. In the morning, remove the ice cubes from the chamber and wipe your face with them for five to ten minutes. It is recommended to do this before washing. It is advisable to take this ritual as a rule and start the morning this way.
Efficiency of the procedure
Effect of carrying out:
- moisturizing, nourishing the face and neck area;
- acceleration of melanin breakdown;
- normalization of the sebaceous glands;
- restoration of a healthy complexion;
- reduction of swelling;
- increasing elasticity, firmness;
- relaxation of muscle fibers, prevention of wrinkle formation.
For severe problems, therapy can be prescribed in adolescence to normalize the condition of the skin, prevent rashes and subsequent formations after acne. The procedure is also effective after 45–50 years, when the synthesis of elastin and collagen decreases due to natural processes.
With pronounced changes, microcurrent sessions can improve the general condition, refresh, and increase skin elasticity. But to get rid of deep wrinkles and pronounced bags that appear due to the proliferation of connective tissue, you will have to choose other methods of aesthetic medicine correction. It is used at the preparation stage and during the recovery period of chemical and mechanical peeling, as well as plastic surgery.
Advantages and disadvantages
The non-invasive local procedure has many advantages:
- No discomfort or minor tingling sensations. Many women even like cryolifting, because it resembles a massage with ice cubes;
- Therapeutic effect - cryolifting ideally masks minor defects on the face, but overall rejuvenates the skin and stops a number of age-related deformities.
How long will the results be visible? Within a quarter, the skin begins to recover from the inside, all processes start and operate at double speed.
The technique also has a number of disadvantages. It is ineffective for significant defects; it will not help cope with deep irregularities and folds in the skin, or with a severe loss of skin elasticity. Cryolifting is a preventive procedure that maintains facial elasticity and enriches cells.

Also, cryolifting is contraindicated for women who develop minor rashes from sub-zero temperatures - hives from the cold.
How does cryolifting of the face work?
What does facial cryolifting mean? This is a local effect on the skin, the principle of operation of which is quite simple - during its implementation, a probe is used, cooled to sub-zero temperatures. When interacting, the vessels of the circulatory system begin to rapidly narrow, provoking intense blood flow. As a result, the skin is enriched with oxygen, and the body receives an incentive for independent rejuvenation.
Additionally, there is an effect on epidermal cells. They are saturated with oxygen and vitamins included in the serums, which are additionally delivered to the skin using the device.
The subzero temperature provides local anesthesia, so the woman does not feel pain during the session. Moreover, the effectiveness of the procedure is quite long-lasting - the dermis continues to actively absorb nutrients for several weeks.
Exposure to cold develops such response reflexes that they are of a two-phase barrier nature:
- Spasm (contraction) of minor elastic tubular formations, thin vessels and an increase in muscle tone due to irritability of neurons. The reflex is aimed at storing energy in cells within the required temperature range. As a result, there is a delay in metabolic processes in the treated cells and a decrease in their absorption of necessary substances and oxygen. At the same time, to eliminate their ischemia, a complex of active additives appears that expand thin capillaries. This leads to an increase in blood flow, acceleration of metabolic reactions and, accordingly, rejuvenation of the dermis.
- The dynamic and constant change of spasms and expansion of small capillaries of the skin under the influence of sub-zero temperatures helps to activate blood flow and the removal of excess fluid. Cryolifting also prevents tissue deformation, provokes metabolism and their restoration. In addition, cryotherapy increases the conductivity of the dermis for therapeutic and vitamin complexes.
