Plasmolifting
History of the Plasmolifting™ method
The Plasmolifting™ technology – this renewable source of health contained in our own blood – was developed and applied in the 21st century. Applying autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) began with the use of this injectable form in maxillofacial surgery. During the research, scientists discovered that, when PRP is injected into the affected areas, the acceleration of skin regeneration processes is stimulated. The skin also becomes more hydrated, more elastic, firmer, the number and depth of expression wrinkles and pigment spots is reduced.
And, despite the fact that this method was originally developed for dental purposes, this aesthetic effect led Renat R. Akhmerov and Roman F. Zarudy to continue studying the influence of platelet-rich plasma on the human body, which led to innovative discoveries concerning the use of Plasmolifting™ in the treatment of disease in different areas of medicine.
With the improvement of the method, special test tubes were also created. The chemicals and the special gel in them allow a high level of PRP purification, which significantly increases the effectiveness of the injectable treatment.

PLASMOLIFTING METHOD
At some point, we all want a time machine to go back in time and bring us back our youth, firm and wrinkle free skin, thicker and shinier hair, stronger joints, and the energy of the past… Well, the mechanism of natural restoration of health, youth and beauty is hidden in our own body and can be triggered by platelets containing proteins capable of stimulating cell regeneration – hence, healing us by using our own blood!
substance – plasma – and elements such as erythrocytes, leukocytes and platelets. Each of these cells has its own task: erythrocytes provide tissue respiration, leukocytes protect the body against infections, platelets are part of the blood clotting processes.
Therefore, platelets play an important role in the healing and regeneration of traumatized tissues, producing growth factors that regulate and stimulate the growth and survival of tissues. Growth factors are required for cell genesis and normal cell cycle performance. The symbiosis of growth factors is responsible for the reconstruction of blood vessels in the traumatized area, regeneration of new tissues (epithelial, cartilaginous, connective, muscular, nervous) and for stopping the bleeding.
Therefore, the solution for the regeneration and recovery of the human body is in the platelets. Autologous platelet (APT) injections naturally restore health, youth, and beauty.
THE STAGES OF THE PLASMOLIFTING™ PROCEDURE
The essence of the Plasmolifting™ method is injecting into the human body plasma with high levels of platelets, which allows the cellular regeneration process to be triggered.
The Plasmolifting™ procedure should not last longer than 30 minutes and consists of the following steps:
PHASE 1 (5 minutes)
Blood is collected from the vein, in a special vacuum tube. The patient is prepped, then he is punctured with a flexible needle and between 10 and 60 ml of blood (depending on the protocol) are collected.
The loss of such a small amount of blood does not have a negative influence on the patient’s health and does not stop the proper functioning of the body.
PHASE 2 (5 minutes)
Autologous platelet-rich plasma is separated from the blood by centrifugation. To obtain this plasma with high therapeutic properties, one must process it. Normally, the amount of platelets in the human blood varies between 150,000/microliter and 350,000/microliter, but for the stimulating regeneration effect, their number must be increased to 1,000,000/microliter. Plasma with such a high platelet concentration can be obtained by centrifuging the blood in special biotechnological Plasmolifting™ tubes. The increased efficiency and safety of the procedure can only be achieved by using Plasmolifting™ certified equipment. The tubes are placed at an equal distance (on opposite positions) in the centrifuge.
PHASE 3
Plasma is injected into the treatment area. ThePlasmolifting™ certified tubes allow the qualitative separation of blood in 3 fractions: red blood cells, the plasma suspension and the platelet-rich fraction (autologous plasma, full of growth factors). During this processing, the separated autologous plasma is then injected into the treatment areas. Autologous plasma is a highly effective biological regeneration stimulant that contains a high concentration of growth factors (hormones, proteins, and vitamins) in their natural proportion. Platelet-rich plasma is obtained from the patient’s own blood, thus ensuring the complete biocompatibility between the injected substance and the body, excludingany immunological and allergic reactions as well as the possibility of rejection.
