Plasma in the head for hair growth

Plasmolifting is a cosmetic procedure that involves injecting your own plasma directly into the scalp. The technique is used to stimulate the processes responsible for tissue regeneration.

For the procedure, venous blood is required, which is taken from a person who has problems with the scalp. Platelet-rich plasma is released from the liquid by rotating the material in a centrifuge.

By the way! There is no exact information about the place of invention of this technology. It is believed that for the first time plasma for hair restoration began to be used in Japan. It is also believed that this procedure was invented by European cosmetologists.

Exists several types plasmolifting, differing in approach, technology of carrying out:

1. Regen Lab;
2. PRP therapy;
3. plasma therapy and others.

Isolation of plasma from the blood can increase the activity of platelets, which are responsible for the work of many processes in the body, 5-10 times. This action prevents hair loss. Moreover, plasma improves blood microcirculation and metabolism, enhances local immunity, and destroys pathogenic microorganisms. As a result, hair begins to grow faster.

Plasma injections are given through a medical syringe. The first results from the action of the substance become noticeable almost immediately. Hair after plasmolifting becomes strong.

Plasmapheresis for hair

Plasmapheresis of blood is used to get rid of toxins or reduce the amount of other components, for example, erythrocytes, platelets, leukocytes.

Mechanical filtration can be either curative or donor. In the first case, after cleaning, the blood is returned back to the patient, in the second, it is frozen for temporary storage.

Plasmolifting for hair reviews

“Plasmolifting is an effective procedure for hair loss, but it is not easy to endure - the pain is just terrible. They do not wipe the head with any anesthetic, and injections along the growth line of the strands and near the temples are especially sensitive.I was assigned 4 sessions, and before each subsequent one I set myself up for a visit to the salon for 2-3 days. But all the pain is forgotten after the results are visible. In my case, this is a decrease in the amount of hair falling out, a decrease in fragility, the disappearance of dandruff and the appearance of "undercoat" - new small hairs. In principle, the course of treatment suited me, despite the fact that it is quite expensive and unpleasant in terms of sensations. But whether I will decide on it again, I do not know "

POLINA, MOSCOW.

“Long-term breastfeeding has resulted in thinning and increased hair loss for me. The problem needed to be solved radically, and I chose plasma lifting. The painful sensations are quite bearable, but the head ached after the session for almost a day. I washed my hair on the third day and it became noticeable that it falls out much less during washing. My course consisted of 4 procedures, after which the trichologist said that the hair had grown stronger, and new vegetation appeared on the thinning areas. Yes, I myself can see that my hairstyle has begun to look much better. "

MASHA, SAINT PETERSBURG.

“Last year in the spring I started having a terrible hair loss. I didn't want to be bald at all, so on the advice of a trichologist I signed up for plasma lifting. After the blood was taken, the day of the procedure was scheduled for analysis. First, they took blood from a vein to obtain plasma and after 15 minutes they were invited to the office. Of course, I suspected that the sensations would not be the most pleasant, but the pain was sometimes so unbearable that I wanted to push the doctor away and run away from the office. But still, I managed to withstand this torture to the end, I came home on autopilot and literally came to my senses for the rest of the day. The next day, waking up in the morning, I decided that I would not go to the clinic again. But by the second procedure, the painful sensations had already been forgotten, and I thought that the skin would get used to it and would not react like that, so I ended up in the clinic again. Alas, I experienced all the acuteness of pain again, in the end, instead of the prescribed sessions, I did only two. There are results - the hair has become softer, livelier, thicker, that is, plasma lifting works. But this is not my procedure, so they will look for other methods of treatment. "

INGA, MOSCOW.

“I have diffuse hair loss, the cause of which was not established by a complete examination of the body. Therefore, I choose the methods and methods of strengthening the follicles and increasing the density of the strands empirically. The last experiment was plasmolifting. The trichologist prescribed 10 sessions, which had to be alternated with mesotherapy. But I could not stand them all - the injections are very painful, but there is no result - the hair fell out and falls out. Probably, it will be necessary to do more in-depth search for the causes of the disease "

Plasmolifting for hair with androgenic alopecia reviews

Olga, 45 years old

“My husband underwent the procedure of plasmolofting of the scalp, baldness at that time was his sore subject. After consultation with a trichologist and a cosmetic center specialist, 8 injections were prescribed. Since my husband is afraid of pain, he was asked in advance to do anesthesia. After 2-3 sessions, there were no results. Further, hair has already ceased to fall out. At the end of all the procedures, an incomprehensible "fluff" began to grow. The results that the doctors promised us have never been received. But there are, of course, changes. "

Lena, 36 years old

“I underwent the procedure of water plasma-lifting from the clinics of St. Petersburg. Hair loss was on the verge of horrific. Conducted 8 procedures with an interval of the first four a week, and the second four - in 10 days. The end result was only a stop to hair loss. I never saw the new chic hair. The trichologist recommends repeating the procedure after two months. Hope. That next time I will get even better result. "

Elena, 40 years old

“I will not say that I am old, only 40 years old. But I needed not only a face and hand lifting, but also a plasmolifting of the head.As a well-to-do person, the price suited me perfectly. 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. Hair became more alive, stopped falling out in horrific portions (payback for earlier addiction to dyes). Some complain of pain, it was unpleasant for me, but not painful. Depends on the pain threshold, that is, individually. I'm happy with the result. "

Polina, 38 years old

“After the stress, my hair began to fall out a lot. I did just a plasmolifting of the face, and the master advised me to try plasmolifting of the head. A good discount was promised for the joint procedure. I took a chance. And she did not regret anything. Hair stopped falling out, began to grow faster (immediately visible from the unpainted roots). Therefore, I immediately got a double effect: tightened face skin and luxurious hair. "

Olga, 46 years old

“Plasmolifting of the scalp was advised to me by my make-up artist. She gave 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 go through this procedure. The procedure itself is unpleasant, for some it will be even painful, yet it is unpleasant to receive injections into the head. Six injections were prescribed at weekly intervals. After the second injection, the condition of the hair improved noticeably, and they stopped remaining strands on the comb. Only 3-4 hairs. After the last injection, I noticed the growth of new hair so far only in 2 centimeters, but you can immediately see that they are healthy, and not thin, like fluff. I plan to repeat the procedure after a while. The price came out, taking into account all the tests passed, 35,000 rubles for the entire course. "

Plasmolifting: results of clinical trials

As for the professional view of plasmolifting, doctors' reviews almost unanimously speak of the dubious effectiveness of a separate plasmolifting procedure. Doctors cite the lack of any scientific evidence and published reliable studies on the anti-aging effect of plasma lifting.

Moreover, research as such exists, but all of them are extremely dubious from the point of view of professionalism.

Among doctors, negative ones are most common, since doctors believe that plasma lifting is a term used as a marketing ploy to promote face fillers in combination with the patient's own plasma. To date, there is no published clinical study confirming that plasma lifting actually contributes to the rejuvenation and tightening of facial skin.

In 2011, a study was published on the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma in skin rejuvenation. The study was carried out in laboratory conditions (in test tubes). It was found that plasma stimulates the function of fibroblasts and leads to an increase in their number, as well as an increase in type 1 collagen.

However, this happened not only with the introduction of platelet-rich plasma, but even after the introduction of platelet-depleted plasma, which already raises a lot of questions.

It is striking that in this study they are generally silent about the quantitative (percentage) indicator of this increase, which makes it possible to believe that this improvement remains on the verge of statistical error. To date, there is not a single study that would be carried out in the only reliable way: taking tissue particles for examination before and after plasmolifting, and comparing the number of fibroblasts and collagen in skin sections.

In this regard, there are no prerequisites to consider plasma lifting as an effective anti-aging procedure, despite the active advertising and propaganda of this procedure.

Even the above test-tube study emphasizes that there is little data to confirm the effectiveness of plasma in cosmetology in rejuvenating the skin of the face and more research is required.

In men, of course, the problem is more pronounced. Tried plasma repeatedly. In my case, it only helps to slow down the loss. And if the bulbs have not disappeared at all, some of them manage to be awakened. For the sake of interest, I compared the results after 3 plasma therapy procedures.

Immediately on the day I went to the Frau clinics, I was given a plan of action. First, I was tested for hormones, they turned out to be normal. Then the doctor Samborskaya M.D. conducted hardware diagnostics (phototrichogram), explained everything to me in detail. It turned out that my hair follicles were dying off. The doctor recommended to do plasma therapy in the area of ​​bald patches, the course of which I went through unconditionally) In addition, I was prescribed drugs, since my hair was constantly oily.

I discovered after the first dyeing of my hair, how it began to fall out a lot. Moreover, this is not one hair, but at once in shreds.

With the help of plasma lifting, I was able to overcome a problem that I had been struggling with for more than one year. This is dandruff. The doctor prescribed me 5 procedures, after which such unpleasant symptoms as itching, peeling of the skin and redness left me. The manipulation is completely painless, but the only drawback is the high price.

Plasmolifting in trichology

The use of Plasmolifting technology in trichology allows for local stimulation of hair growth, preventing hair loss and optimizing the condition of the hair shaft: the hair becomes shiny, more elastic and thicker. The severity of clinical manifestations of trichoptilosis ("split ends") is significantly reduced.

The "Plasmolifting" procedure is based on a patented method of blood processing, which involves the use of a special set of vacuum biotechnological test tubes and adherence to a special principle of centrifugation.

During the procedure, autologous platelet plasma is released from the blood and injected into the scalp.

Autologous platelet plasma contains growth factors, amino acids, trace elements, hormones, proteins and vitamins in their natural combination.

Injections of autologous platelet plasma prevent the death of hair follicles and promote the transition of hair follicles from the telogen phase to the anagen phase. The results of the action of plasma are the improvement of microcirculation and cellular metabolism, an increase in the local immunity of the scalp, suppression of pathogenic flora, and the provision of active nutrition of the hair follicles.

INDICATIONS:

• Weak, brittle, split ends.
• Seborrhea (dandruff).
• Hair loss (focal, diffuse, androgenic alopecia).
• Decrease in hair volume and deterioration in hair quality.

EFFECT OF THE PROCEDURE:

• Reducing the intensity of hair loss.
• Strengthening hair follicles.
• Normalization of the sebaceous glands.
• Elimination of dandruff, dryness, itching.
• Reducing the severity of clinical manifestations of trichoptilosis.
• Increasing the diameter and increasing the density of the hair.
• Restoration of elasticity, shine and volume to hair.

Plasmolifting pros and cons

Plasmolifting procedure for hair has the following advantages:

• Safety. The purified blood that enters the skin at the time of the session belongs to the patient himself, which completely excludes the rejection of the component, infection or contamination with pathogenic microorganisms contained in the blood of another person.
• No allergy to the introduced composition. Individual intolerance to the drug for injection is impossible for the reason described above.
• The minimum period of rehabilitation. The patient feels great almost immediately after the end of the session.
• Fast visible result.
• Pain syndrome in the process of manipulation is minimal, moreover, with increased sensitivity of soft tissues, a woman is pretreated with a head surface with special ointments that reduce discomfort.

Like any cosmetic procedure that involves intervention in the internal tissues of the body, plasma lifting has and certain disadvantages:

• a large number of contraindications;
• the procedure belongs to the medical category, and is carried out only as prescribed by the trichologist;
• high cost, which makes plasmolifting not affordable for everyone;
• the need to use additional funds that enhance the positive dynamics, and they are also quite expensive;
• manipulation should be carried out only in a clinic, and this happens extremely rarely. Basically, this is done by beauty salons, where there is a high risk of improper compliance with sterility and the lack of experience or qualifications of the staff.

Indications

Using this procedure, you can solve the following problems:

• a pronounced decrease in the thickness of the hairline - excessive hair loss is the most common reason for seeking help from beauty salons;
• fragility and thinning of hair, caused both by their natural state and by the influence of external negative factors (sun, hair dryer, frequent dyeing);
• dryness of the ends - due to this phenomenon, the hair is unable to actively grow, and their lower part looks dull and lifeless;
• excessive fat content of the root zone;
• manifestations of slight itching - in situations where this phenomenon is not associated with skin pathologies or fungal diseases.

Contraindications

If you have at least one of the problems listed below, a visit to a beauty salon for the purpose of plasma lifting contraindicated until it is completely eliminated:

• external damage to the scalp of a mechanical nature of origin (scratches, wounds, hematomas);
• skin pathologies, regardless of the stage or form of their course;
• low concentration of platelets in the blood;
• autoimmune diagnoses;
• any type of tumor neoplasms;
• drug therapy, the drugs of which are capable of provoking a negative reaction in the departments with the injected composition;
• pregnancy at all stages of its course;
• breast-feeding;
• critical days.

How is the procedure carried out?

First of all, before the procedure, you need to take a blood test to exclude contraindications and, if necessary, visit the appropriate doctors.

A few days before the session, you should stop eating fried and spicy foods, alcoholic beverages. Also, it is very important not to take "Aspirin" or "Heparin" 1 day before the start!

The procedure itself is carried out in several stages:

1. Blood taken from a patient's vein (on an empty stomach!) In tubes certified for plasma lifting is placed in a centrifuge, in which plasma is separated from it.
2. Plasma is drawn into a syringe and a thin needle (such as used in mesotherapy) is injected under the scalp. Injections are made from top to bottom, that is, from the crown and temples to the back of the head.

After the procedure, within 3 days, you must refrain from:

• visits to the sauna and pool;
• shampooing;
• avoid exposure to ultraviolet radiation.

To completely get rid of the problem of hair loss, experts recommend 4 to 8 sessions with an interval of 10-14 days between them.

7 false facts about plasmolifting hair

In order to advertise and attract clients, clinics often publish false information about the procedure. Let's see what is a lie and a desire to steal money from you, and what is true:

Lie # 1: The visual effect appears immediately after the first session

Dear readers and everyone who wants to experience plasma-lifting of hair, know that the first visible results after the first session appear as the hair grows back. In some patients, the visual effect can be seen only after 6 treatments.

Lie # 2: Plasmolifting is completely painless

Do not trust a specialist who initially assures you that everything will go perfectly and that you will not experience any discomfort or pain. In reality, it all depends on the individual sensitivity threshold. Read the real feedback on pain below.

Lie # 3: You don't need to take any tests to get ready

Bypass such clinics, as it is fraught not only with your health, but also life directly! Remember, a blood test, and not only blood, is required before the procedure!

Lie # 4: The effect is visible for many years or a lifetime

On average, the effect can last for 2 years. Since the amount and structure of hair is genetically set, with the help of the achievements of aesthetic medicine, they can only be changed for a while. Then the procedures should be repeated.

Lie # 5: “What are you talking about! No side reactions! "

Since the resources of one's own body are used, allergies are absolutely excluded when using the method. Yes, indeed, the likelihood of developing undesirable reactions is much less than with other injection methods, however, allergies can manifest itself both on its own plasma (in some autoimmune diseases) and on the composition of a medical needle.In addition, negative side reactions from the body's own body and to hair growth activators, which are sometimes added to plasma, are possible.

Lie # 6: Hair Loss Stops Altogether

Not entirely true. Still, about 30-50 hairs per day are lost, although the norm is 100-150.

Lie # 7: The procedure is effective in 100% of cases and in any "weather"!

In fact, the method helps only 70% of patients and you should be aware of this before shelling out a considerable amount for it!

What side effects and other dangers does plasmolifting of hair conceal?

Although plasmolifting for hair is positioned as a completely safe procedure, it still has side effects.

In addition to the allergic reactions mentioned above, the occurrence and such undesirable consequences as:

• the entry of infection into the blood in violation of the storage technology and further use of the components necessary for the procedure;
• the occurrence of hematomas at the injection site;
• activation of viral infections;
• pigmentation of the scalp.

As you can see, the consequences, although rare, are still very unpleasant. Although most of them arise due to the incompetence of the doctor, improper storage or use of uncertified materials. In pursuit of profit, clinics use various tricks.

It is shocking that the plasma-lifting tubes were not only not certified, but did not even have individual packaging! Yes, yes, and this is possible!

How often to do plasma lifting?

Owners of dense skin immediately after the Plasma LIFT session may not notice a significant result, it will be noticeable only after 4-6 weeks. The most noticeable effect will appear only after a full course PRP - this is from 2 to 4 sessions with intervals of 1-2 weeks. Such courses are recommended to be held no more than 2 times in 12 months, ideally once a year.

How many sessions a course of treatment should consist of is an individual question. The number of sessions may depend on age data and the density and condition of the skin.

Until the age of thirty, one or two procedures are enough. After 35 years, 3-4 sessions may be required, and patients over 40 years old - about 5 plasma therapy.

The visible result of Plasma LIFT lasts about 1 year, however, cosmetic procedures, including peeling, as well as the use of special nourishing and anti-aging products, should be carried out to maintain good skin condition.

How to Prepare?

The first step is to consult a trichologist and a specialist who will do the plasma injections. At the same time, they find out what problems need to be solved, what areas of the head require special attention.

If the plasmolifting procedure can be carried out, then the usual preparation for manipulation follows:

• drink more fluids;
• give up alcoholic beverages;
• do not take too fatty and spicy foods;
• reduce physical activity.

Often the procedure is prescribed in the morning, as it is performed on an empty stomach. But a light breakfast is acceptable.

Process description

Plasmolifting is performed in several stages:

1. take blood from the patient, at the first stage they can take only 10 ml;
2. place a test tube with blood in a special centrifuge, in which the plasma is released;
3. then the drug is drawn into a sterile syringe and introduced by microinjection into the scalp.

The principle of the procedure is very similar to mesotherapy for hair loss. At the same time, sometimes you have to endure, since this procedure cannot be called completely painless. Injections can be delivered manually, or using a special medical pistol, while plasma is injected at regular intervals throughout the head.

Plasmolifting: the opinion of a trichologist

Today, you may notice that the reviews about the procedure are contradictory. It is no secret that from time to time such comments on sites are written to order, moreover by people who have never gone through this procedure. But what reviews did plasmolifting really collect?

Only a specialist trichologist can tell about this. TOCommenting on the girl's feedback that the procedure did not bring the expected effect to her, the doctor claims that it is easier to follow the changes, surprisingly, for the owners of dyed hair: you can see from the unpainted roots how much hair growth has accelerated.

The effect will also be more noticeable to the hairdresser, who is able to examine the entire scalp. One day a patient who had completed a course in our clinic went to her master, and she said to her: "And you have grown a good" undercoat ", soon your hair will be thicker."

While the length of the hair that emerged from the revived bulbs does not exceed five millimeters, it is difficult to say how much the picture with the hair has improved.

But how much less they began to fall out, it will be clear from the comb and from the strainer in the bathroom or shower, where you wash your hair.

How many procedures will be required (course)?

1. How many procedures do you need after plasmolifting for hair? To find a thick head of hair, one session is not enough. Treatment of hair by plasmolifting is performed in a course of 5-7 sessions.
2. Each session lasts 40-60 minutes. The second and subsequent manipulations begin after 7-14 days have passed since the previous procedure. The duration of the break is determined by the doctor.
3. One course of treatment is enough to forget about rare and damaged hair. The patient returns to the repeated course of treatment, if necessary, after a common decision with the cosmetologist.

How to care for your hair afterwards?

After each procedure from the course of treatment, beauticians advise against washing the hair for 2-3 days. It is also necessary to exclude for this period a visit to the sauna, pool, hairdresser.

You must not wash your hair for at least a day, and a variety of hair care products are also prohibited (this also applies to varnish). But it is better to refrain from water procedures a little longer.

Dermatologist Sunanda Chew

Being in the sun also falls under the restriction.

Complexes of vitamins with minerals will increase the body's capabilities. The preferred options will be advised by the beautician who performed the procedure or the pharmacist. The main thing is to use vitamins as prescribed by the instructions.

Patients who notice the continuous loss of curls at the end of the first procedure should not be alarmed. Hair will gain strength after 2-3 repetitions.

But if the hair falls out more intensively after plasmofilling, either a cosmetologist in the salon (clinic) where the sessions were held, or a trichologist will help.

In the future, hair care is performed in the usual manner. Along with the previous shampoos and balms, masks and oils with vitamins will help to maintain the thickness and silkiness of the strands.

Conclusion

A distinctive feature and undoubted advantage of the procedure carried out using the Plasmolifting technology is its compatibility with other procedures and the ability to increase their effectiveness. The biological effect of the "Plasmolifting" procedure on the tissue allows us to consider it as a basic stage in the complex therapy of the scalp.
