Effects of blood plasma on the skin

I am quite skeptical when it comes to various beauty procedures, especially invasive ones – hyaluronic fillers, Botox, biorevitalization and the like. They only provide a very temporary effect and the procedures need to be repeated quite often. However, even with the help of such procedures, creating the illusion of firm and young skin, the fact that the skin ages does not disappear. Therefore, I always recommend focusing on what slows down the skin aging process the most, and this is a daily quality skin care routine. However, science and technology do not stand still and one of the latest invasive skin procedures has really caught my attention. This is skin rejuvenation with the help of blood plasma. Although there is still little research, the visible results are really convincing.

What is blood plasma?

So what is blood plasma and how can it help our skin? First of all, this procedure interested me because it uses our own blood – blood is taken from a vein, the blood plasma is separated in it using a centrifuge and injected back into the deeper layers of the skin using a needle. Another important fact is that only plasma taken from you is injected into the skin, without any synthetic additives that could cause side effects. And blood plasma itself is a component of blood, rich in growth factors and other substances important for the functioning of our body. In medicine, it is used to accelerate wound healing, so it is completely logical that such a concentrate injected into our skin will affect the processes taking place in it – it will stimulate the production of collagen, elastin and healthy cells, activate skin renewal processes. The skin will become more elastic, firmer, the moisture balance will improve, and pigment spots and scars may decrease. Of course, it's not true to say that after a few procedures you will look 10 years younger, but it is a fact that you will invest in longer youthful skin and significantly improve its condition.

When to perform blood plasma procedures?

It is important to know a few things if you are going to undergo a blood plasma procedure. This procedure is not intended for young girls whose skin is perfectly capable of taking care of itself. If you are thirty or thirty-five, you can already pamper your skin with blood plasma, but you should repeat it no more than 2-3 times a year. It is very important to choose the right clinic and doctor. The procedure is invasive and requires professionalism and experience to perform, so a small beauty salon will definitely not be suitable. If your skin is sensitive to pain, choose a clinic where the procedure is performed with superficial anesthesia. You should also know that after the procedure, the skin may swell, bruise or hematoma may appear, which will pass within a few days.

Novelty - blood plasma gel

So, compared to other invasive procedures, blood plasma is superior in almost every sense, and there are even blood plasma fillers available today - a blood plasma gel is immediately created during the procedure and used to reduce wrinkles. However, you must remember that it is still an invasive procedure that should not be repeated too often, and the main priority should always remain proper skin care and protection.
