Today, we will learn in detail the process of preparing plasma gel, an innovative technique used in facial filler treatments.
You will discover why this autologous method from the patient’s blood plasma offers excellent benefits and how it is used to obtain amazing results.
Join us as we tell you everything you need to know about the preparation and why it is a crucial step for a successful treatment.
What is it, and how is it obtained?
Plasma gel is a natural filler obtained from the patient’s blood plasma. This process involves extracting a small amount of blood from the patient. It is then processed to obtain a gel rich in growth factors and platelets.
The plasma gel is prepared in a properly prepared center, following strict safety and quality standards.
What is the preparation process?
The preparation process involves several stages. A blood sample is drawn from the patient in the first session, usually around ten cubic centimeters. This sample is then placed in a special tube and subjected to centrifugation.
Centrifugation separates the components of the blood, allowing the platelet-rich plasma to be obtained.
Once the platelet-rich plasma is obtained, an activator is added to convert it into gelled plasma. This process is carefully performed to get a suitable consistency that allows its application in the areas to be treated.
The plasma gel, once prepared, is ready for use in the facial filler procedure.
What are the benefits of using plasma gel for facial filler?
Plasma gel offers numerous benefits compared to current facial fillers, such as hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite.
First, being autologous, it binds naturally in the body, reducing the risk of adverse reactions and allergies. In addition, plasma gel stimulates collagen production, which contributes to a lasting improvement in the appearance of the skin.
Another outstanding benefit of plasma gel is its versatility. It can fill furrows wrinkles and improve volume and hydration in areas such as the lips, cheeks, and hands.
Because it is a completely autologous product, the likelihood of allergy problems or adverse reactions is significantly reduced.
What considerations should be taken into account before a plasma gel treatment?
Before undergoing treatment, it is advisable to undergo a skin evaluation with a specialized physician. This evaluation will allow us to verify the possibilities of the treatment and to detect any inflammatory or infectious process in the area to be treated.
It is always important to follow medical criteria and perform any necessary tests or studies.
It is essential to take into account the possible consequences of the treatment. They can be the appearance of minor slight bruises and mild to moderate inflammation. There is no risk of allergic reactions since it is a 100% autologous product.
These side effects are usually temporary and disappear quickly. It is essential to be informed and follow the doctor’s recommendations to minimize any discomfort.
