Plasma lifting for hair

What is hair plasma lifting?

Hair plasma lifting is an injectable therapeutic-cosmetic procedure that activates the hair restoration process by injecting the patient's plasma under the scalp.

In concentrated plasma, there is a high concentration of platelets. When they are introduced under the skin, blood circulation improves, metabolic processes are activated, and active cell regeneration begins. As a result, hair follicles receive quality nourishment and stimulation.

Plasmolifting has an accumulative effect. The effects of the treatment become noticeable about a month after the first session. Hair loss will be significantly reduced, it will become thicker, fuller, and new hair will start appearing in balding areas.

You can achieve the maximum effect of plasmolifting after completing the full course of injections or in combination with other treatment methods. The number of sessions is individually determined by the trichologist depending on the severity of the problem for each patient. After some time following the course, a few more injections may be needed to maintain the results. The price for plasmolifting for hair at the LeoDerm Medical Center starts from 1500 UAH.

Indications for the procedure, its effectiveness

Plasmolifting for hair is prescribed by a trichologist. During the initial consultation, they will determine the optimal duration of the treatment course for each patient based on the present symptoms. The indications for undergoing the procedure include:

• stressful situations that negatively affect the condition of the hair;
• hair loss due to hormonal changes in women who have recently given birth;
• dandruff, seborrhea (issues with regulating the sebaceous glands leading to increased oil secretion);
• deterioration of hair condition (brittleness, split ends, dullness);
• poor hair growth, hair loss;
• hair structure disorders;
• scalp issues (dryness, oiliness);
• improvement after hair transplantation.

Plasmolifting injections address all the previously mentioned issues. They prevent and reduce hair loss, improve its structure, moisturize the scalp, and enhance the sebaceous glands' function. Over time, the hair becomes more manageable, shinier, and gradually eliminates dandruff.

Daily habits and external factors significantly worsen the condition of the hair: unbalanced diet, frequent use of ammonia-based hair dyes, unnecessary hair washing, frequent curling iron styling, constant use of gel, mousse, or hair spray for styling, as well as poor environmental conditions and drastic temperature changes. This procedure will help restore the hair.

How to prepare for hair plasma lifting?

Hair plasma lifting requires thorough but straightforward preparation. The main guidelines are:

• Important! Before the procedure, it is necessary to undergo a general blood test. Examination will determine if your plasma is suitable for injections;
• 14 days before the injection - stop taking antibiotics, medications that may affect blood clotting;
• 7 days before the plasma lifting procedure - exclude alcoholic beverages of any strength, fatty, spicy food, and stop smoking;
• 2 days before the procedure - start drinking plenty of water;
• 2-3 days before - stop using tools (straighteners, curling irons) and hair styling products (hairsprays, gels, mousses);
• On the morning of the injection day - thoroughly wash the scalp with shampoo.

How is plasma lifting of hair done?

The plasma lifting session for hair at LeoDerm takes up to 30 minutes. During this time, the specialist collects plasma from the patient's blood and administers the injections.
The preparation is made from approximately 45-60 ml of venous blood.

First, the cosmetologist treats the scalp with an antiseptic to disinfect it. The procedure does not require anesthesia because it is practically painless, but to reduce sensitivity, specialists may use a mild anesthetic if the patient wants to minimize painful sensations.

The doctor draws the obtained plasma gel into a syringe, using the finest needle. Carefully parting the strands, they make shallow punctures all over the scalp where hair is present. The action of the blood plasma creates local metabolism, stimulating the follicles and thereby accelerating growth.

On the first day after the injections, there might be slight swelling and discomfort. This period should simply be endured, and the puncture sites should never be touched or scratched.

Recommendations for quality rehabilitation after completing a plasma lifting session:

• Refrain from washing hair for at least 1-2 days;
• Avoid swimming pools, saunas, or steam rooms for several days;
• Avoid scalp massages either manually or with special massagers;
• Gently comb hair using soft brushes;
• Minimize engaging in sports activities (at least for a week);
• Limit exposure to direct sunlight.

Hair restorative plasma lifting does not cause an allergic reaction because the therapeutic preparation is derived from the patient's own body. However, a doctor may prohibit the injection if they notice one or more of the following pathologies or symptoms:
