What is the difference between plasmolifting and biorevitalization? We know the answer!

Modern cosmetology offers a huge selection of procedures for rejuvenation, which differ in the principle of action, severity and duration of the achieved effect. Therefore, it is difficult for a non-professional to determine which method is better. In particular, many women and men are trying to make an informed choice between procedures such as biorevitalization and plasma therapy.

Main similarities

Both methods involve the introduction of special nutritional compounds into the skin through micro-injections. For their proper absorption, it is important to protect the skin from UV radiation for two weeks after the procedures and avoid visiting baths and saunas.

The procedures are similar in action, so they complement each other well and are often used in combination. Another similarity between biorevitalization and plasma therapy are some indications for:

• the need to accelerate recovery processes after laser rejuvenation and chemical peeling;
• signs of age-related changes;
• decreased skin turgor;
• dryness, flaking;
• wrinkles.

Laser resurfacing and biorevitalization

One of the most common duets in aesthetic medicine is laser resurfacing and skin biorevitalization.

Two weeks before laser resurfacing, it is recommended to perform biorevitalization to saturate the skin with moisture. The efficiency of laser thermolysis in this case increases several times. This is especially true for those areas where the fat layer under the skin is minimal or completely absent: the area of ​​the eyelids, forehead, temples, neck, décolleté, hands, etc.

Two weeks after laser resurfacing, it is also recommended to perform biorevitalization. This is necessary for faster skin restoration, saturation with moisture and beneficial microelements included in the biorevitalizant.

Differences between methods

Biorevitalization is an injection method of introducing hyaluronic acid to prevent age-related changes and eliminate primary manifestations. Preparations with synthesized HA are as similar as possible to the substance that is produced in the body itself, therefore it is well absorbed without allergies or negative consequences. As a rule, a biorevitalization course consists of 2-4 sessions, carried out at intervals of 2 weeks.

Products with hyaluronic acid:

• stimulate the synthesis of your own collagen and elastin;
• restore the water balance of the skin;
• give the face a fresh, rested look;
• restore tenderness, smoothness, healthy color, elasticity to the skin;
• provide a noticeable effect the very next day after the session.

Contraindications for biorevitalization:

• oncological pathologies;
• autoimmune diseases;
• chronic and infectious diseases in the acute stage (until complete recovery or remission).

The main difference between cosmetic methods is the drug administered, because plasma therapy does not use hyaluronic acid, but its own plasma (autoplasma), isolated from the patient’s blood. Its beneficial effect is ensured due to the high content of various microelements, vitamins, amino acids, platelets and other valuable substances. Injections help activate natural regeneration processes in the skin and accelerate intercellular metabolism for natural rejuvenation.

Effect after plasma therapy:

• elimination of acne and other inflammations without scars;
• stimulation of cell renewal for face lifting;
• reduction in skin oiliness.

Preparation for plasma therapy requires blood tests for diseases such as HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B and C, syphilis). You should also switch to a healthier diet in a couple of weeks, eliminating fatty, fried, spicy, sweet and other junk foods from your diet. Both methods require prior consultation with a cosmetologist or dermatologist, but biorevitalization, in the absence of contraindications, can be carried out immediately without special preparation. In addition to skin defects, plasma therapy can combat hair problems. Injections are made into the area of ​​the head where the foci of hair loss are located.

Contraindications to autoplasma injections:

• period of pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• worsened autoimmune and chronic diseases;
• diseases of the circulatory system that impair coagulation function;
• infectious processes.

Plasmolifting. What is this?

A cosmetic injection procedure in which the patient’s plasma is injected under the skin. This is an effective way of facial rejuvenation, which allows you to naturally start the processes of regeneration and metabolism in tissues.

Plasma for administration is taken from the patient's venous blood. After collecting the biological material, it is placed in a centrifuge, where the plasma is separated from the blood. It contains platelets, which influence the rapid healing of the skin and activate the rejuvenation effect.

After plasma lifting injections, you can get rid of both obvious signs of age-related aging and excessive dryness of the skin, pigmentation and even acne. The effect after the sessions lasts for 2-3 years, and the procedure itself does not require surgical intervention. The absence of side effects and real visible results have made plasma lifting one of the most popular procedures of the last 10 years in all cosmetology clinics.

Which procedure is preferable?

Since there are still more differences between biorevitalization and plasma therapy than similarities, one procedure cannot be replaced by another. It is better to make an appointment with a dermatologist or cosmetologist, who will assess the current condition of the skin and existing problems, and then select the optimal technique for a particular case. Only a specialist with a medical education can determine the individual needs and characteristics of the body based on:

• patient's age;
• skin type;
• the nature of skin defects;
• severity of age-related changes;
• level of deficiency of nutrients in the dermis.

Medical doctors take an individual approach to each client, use advanced equipment, sterile consumables and original drugs. This ensures that the desired result is achieved during any cosmetic procedure. You can find out the cost of biorevitalization and plasma therapy, as well as make an appointment by phone or on the website.

Preparation for the procedure

No special preparation is needed: you will not have to give up your usual lifestyle before the procedure. Try to have a good rest on the eve of the session, get enough sleep and not be nervous - Cleo Line specialists will make the process as comfortable as possible.

On the day of biorevitalization, it is better to free the evening. It’s ideal if you go for the procedure before the weekend: the process itself lasts about an hour, but slight swelling, redness and papules can disrupt your plans - so it’s better to rest at home.

Contraindications

The main contraindication to plasma lifting is the presence of autoimmune diseases or a genetic predisposition to them. The procedure can become a trigger, and the body will begin to attack itself.

Both methods are never used when:

• the presence of malignant neoplasms;
• hemophilia and other blood diseases;
• active viruses and infections;
• elevated body temperature;
• severely weakened immunity;
• diabetes mellitus 2-3 degrees;
• epilepsy and serious mental disorders.

At least a week before the start of the plasma lifting course, you must stop taking anticoagulants and antirheumatic drugs. And sodium hyaluronate used in biorevitalization quickly decomposes under the influence of alcohol, so you should not drink it for at least 48 hours before the procedure.

About hyaluronic acid

This is a substance that our body produces. It affects skin elasticity and collagen content. With age, there is less of it in the body, which causes the skin to deteriorate: wrinkles form, elasticity is lost, and the skin dries out.

Over the years, the amount of hyaluronate in the body decreases

Hyaluronic acid in cosmetology is used in two forms: stabilized and unstabilized. The first type of substance is processed using chemicals, the purpose is to fill skin wrinkles.

On a note! The duration of action is limited to a certain time period, then the acid dissolves and leaves the body without consequences.

The second type of acid is a substance of natural origin that has not been modified. When it enters the human body, it breaks down into molecules, stimulating cell regeneration and stabilizing water balance.

Unstabilized hyaluronate is not processed in any way

After biorevitalization, no special measures for recovery and rehabilitation are needed, and there is also no need to prepare for the introduction of the substance under the skin of the face. The administered dose of acid is selected by a specialist based on the degree of the problem.

On a note! It is necessary to take into account factors in which the procedure is contraindicated, and also focus on the desired result.

Cost of services

The cost of one biorevitalization session in Moscow, as well as plasma lifting, varies between 7,000-12,000 rubles.

Despite the lack of difference in price, it is worth considering that the second procedure provides a long-term effect, therefore it is a more profitable option.

When choosing a salon or clinic, you don’t need to chase the cheapest. The main thing here is quality, because health depends on it. It is better to entrust the care of your own skin to an experienced, qualified specialist who will do everything correctly, sterilely, in compliance with the technical requirements within the framework of the technique used.

The main stages of the facial plasma lifting procedure

Stage 1. We draw blood from a vein into a certified tube. High-quality, highly purified plasma can have a therapeutic effect. Such plasma can only be obtained using test tubes designed specifically for plasma lifting and which have passed clinical trials and certification. The tubes contain highly purified sodium heparin in a minimal dosage, which does not have any negative effects on the human body after its administration.

The tubes also contain a gel, which during centrifugation adsorbs red blood cells and fatty acids, allowing one to obtain highly purified plasma.

Stage 2. We isolate platelet plasma from the blood by centrifugation. A necessary step in creating highly purified plasma is compliance with the centrifugation regime. Only at a certain centrifuge rotation speed is a therapeutic concentration of platelets created.

Stage 3. We inject plasma. Depending on the injection zone, the papular technique or nappage is used.

Execution Sequence

The simultaneous performance of plasmolifting and biorevitalization is not prescribed. Cosmetologists do not mix cocktails based on basic substances intended for different types of procedures. Simultaneous administration of 2 types of injections is not advisable. This can overly injure the tissue and lead to complications.

Alternation of options is considered useful. Many cosmetologists create individual treatment plans. It is acceptable to carry out courses sequentially or alternate sessions. For problem skin, up to 3-5 sessions with plasma injections are often prescribed to stabilize the condition, then the procedures are alternated. For dehydrated skin, on the contrary, normalizing biorevitalization sessions are first carried out.

The interval between alternation procedures is at least 3–7 days. The epidermis requires restoration before subsequent similar effects are performed.

Similarities and differences between procedures

We found out what both cosmetic procedures are, how they are done, when they can be performed, and when it is better to abstain. Let's find out what is similar between them. So, the similarities are as follows:

• both methods are carried out by injecting the drug into the deep layers of the skin, using a thin needle;
• when using both methods, you can achieve effective skin rejuvenation, and this will happen as naturally as possible;

  
  Both procedures help achieve effective and natural skin rejuvenation

• preparations are used exclusively of natural origin;
• the client will not experience side effects - the activities are safe.

On a note! The difference lies in the drugs that the cosmetologist uses.

The difference lies in the drugs used by the cosmetologist

So which is better to choose? Each person decides this independently, after consulting with a specialist. Often the words of a cosmetologist are decisive, since only he can accurately indicate the condition of the skin, take into account the specific characteristics of the body, and also identify what problems need to be solved.

Fractional thermolysis and botulinum therapy

If there are indications for injections of botulinum toxin preparations (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin), fractional thermolysis can be performed in combination with them.

The indication for the administration of botulinum toxin is the presence of facial wrinkles “in a static state” (when wrinkles are present on the face in a relaxed state).

For such patients, it is more advisable to undergo botulinum therapy before the fractional thermolysis procedure, since in case of static wrinkles, the primary effect is on the process of the motor nerve to weaken the facial activity of the local area of ​​the face, and only after that – lifting and increasing skin turgor (fractional thermolysis).

Botulinum toxin is a preventive drug that blocks the motor nerve process responsible for the facial activity of the local zone. The effect of the drug lasts for about three months. The duration of action of botulinum toxin is essentially the time for the growth of a new motor nerve.

Fractional thermolysis, due to its deep effect, stimulates the production of collagen, as a result of which wrinkles are pushed out from the inside, the skin is smoothed.

If there are static wrinkles, then the effect of fractional thermolysis without the use of botulinum therapy may be short-lived - while facial activity continues, creases will form on the skin in active zones again.

If the wrinkles already have creases, then botulinum toxin will not completely solve the problem - you need to activate collagen production using fractional thermolysis so that the wrinkle is pushed out from the inside and leveled out. This combination provides a longer lasting effect.

When combining botulinum therapy for wrinkle correction with laser skin rejuvenation, the fractional photothermolysis procedure is performed no earlier than 2 weeks after the administration of botulinum toxin preparations.

How to decide on the choice of procedure?

Biorevitalization involves the use of hyaluronic acid. It maintains cells in normal condition, affects their growth and regeneration processes. Problems with the body's production of hyaluronic acid arise with age or due to exposure to the sun, in addition, reserves of the already formed substance can disintegrate. Therefore, the skin ages, dries out, flakes, and wrinkles. Metabolism becomes slower than before. The named cosmetic procedure allows you to solve this problem - the acid is injected under the skin, so that a local effect on the condition of the skin is ensured.

On a note! The body itself does not suffer in any way.

Before and after biorevitalization

Both procedures are distinguished by the functions performed by the tool.

Enriched plasma (plasmolifting):

• regulation of the activity of the sebaceous glands;
• relieving inflammation;
• stimulation of cell reproduction and division, production of normal amounts of hyaluronic acid and collagen.

Thanks to plasma lifting, you can get rid of inflammation on the skin of the face

Hyaluronic acid (biorevitalization):

• the effect is noticeable immediately after the procedure;
• cells are toned, the skin becomes more elastic;
• slight stimulation of collagen production;
• an optimal environment for cell activity is created.

You can decide on the procedure based on the characteristics of your body, as well as by analyzing the purpose of the injections. Consult a cosmetologist first, he will help you choose the most suitable rejuvenation method. You must follow the advice strictly. Don't despair if one procedure doesn't have any effect - you can always try another. Of course, prices for procedures vary and depend on the clinic.

On a note! Before visiting a cosmetologist, check out his qualifications and read reviews. You can choose a specialist based on recommendations from friends.

What to choose and why

Which is better - plasma lifting or biorevitalization - everyone chooses for themselves. Much depends on the patient’s age, skin condition and type, number and severity of defects.

For young people and those with skin prone to rashes and oily skin, the first procedure is more suitable. For ladies who want to get a quick anti-aging effect, injections of hyaluronic acid are preferable.

The final decision on the relevance of a particular technique in a particular situation is made by a cosmetologist.
