Facial plasma therapy (PRP therapy)

Facial plasma therapy (also known as PRP therapy — Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a rejuvenating procedure that uses the patient’s own blood plasma enriched with platelets. Platelets contain growth factors that stimulate cellular regeneration, improve microcirculation, and promote the production of collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin appears rejuvenated, with improved firmness, enhanced complexion, and reduced fine wrinkles.

Plasma therapy is widely used in cosmetology and dermatology for natural skin rejuvenation, recovery, and overall improvement without the use of chemical substances or surgical intervention.

How is plasma therapy performed?

1. Blood collection. A small amount of venous blood is drawn from the patient (usually 10–30 ml), similar to a routine blood test.
2. Plasma preparation. The blood is placed into a specialized centrifuge, where it is separated into components: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelet-rich plasma. This platelet-enriched plasma is used for injections.
3. Plasma injections. Platelet-rich plasma is injected into targeted areas of the face using fine needles. Common treatment zones include the periorbital area, forehead, nasolabial folds, cheeks, chin, and neck. Mild discomfort may occur, therefore topical anesthetic cream is often applied prior to injections.

Indications for facial plasma therapy

1. Age-related skin changes. Fine and deep wrinkles, loss of firmness and elasticity, skin laxity.
2. Dull complexion. Plasma therapy improves microcirculation, giving the skin a fresher and more radiant appearance.
3. Dry and flaky skin. Helps restore hydration and improve the skin’s moisture balance.
4. Pigmentation and post-acne. PRP therapy can help lighten hyperpigmentation and improve skin texture.
5. Scars and acne marks. Stimulates tissue regeneration and reduces the visibility of scars.
6. Recovery after aggressive procedures. Plasma therapy is often used to accelerate skin recovery after chemical peels, laser treatments, and plastic surgery.

Advantages of facial plasma therapy in Belarus

1. Natural approach. The patient’s own plasma is used, eliminating the risk of allergic reactions or rejection.
2. Safety. Platelet-rich plasma has antibacterial properties, reducing the risk of inflammation.
3. Minimal downtime. Redness and mild swelling usually resolve within several hours or a few days.
4. Comprehensive effect. Plasma therapy improves both the external appearance and the internal structure of the skin by stimulating tissue regeneration.

Preparation for the procedure

1. Consultation with a physician. Before the procedure, expectations, potential contraindications, and skin characteristics are discussed. The specialist may recommend certain laboratory tests.
2. Avoid alcohol and fatty foods. It is recommended to avoid alcohol and heavy meals 1–2 days before the procedure to ensure optimal blood quality.
3. Temporary discontinuation of anticoagulants. If the patient is taking blood-thinning medications, this should be reported to the physician. Temporary discontinuation may be required.

The procedure helps reduce visible signs of aging, improve skin tone and complexion, and restore firmness. Prior consultation with a qualified specialist is essential to account for individual skin characteristics and exclude possible contraindications.
