The Benefits of Plasma Facials What is a plasma facial? Fine lines, thinning lip lines, crow’s feet and crepey skin all advance as we age, but plasma facials can restore plumpness and elasticity of the skin. A plasma facial uses your own blood plasma to stimulate growth of skin cells with no side effects or allergic reactions, and can enhance your skin texture and tone in a simple procedure. At Holistic Aesthetics, we use the Cleopatra Technique, a micro-needling technique invented by Professor Cleopatra Nacopoulos of Athens. A numbing cream is used on any areas receiving treatment. Blood is drawn and the platelet-rich plasma is separated from the hemoglobin by centrifuge, and a needle is used to make tiny punctures in the skin and deliver this protein-rich fibrin at the same time. The “injury” to the skin, combined with the plasma injection, prompts the body to heal itself. The result is a smoother, glowing complexion. What are the benefits of a plasma facial? • Stimulates collagen production for a more youthful appearance • Tightens and rejuvenates the skin, adding tone and plumpness • Can reduce acne scars or stretch marks • Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines • Using your own plasma means no side effects or allergic reactions • Simple, non-invasive procedure that requires little healing time • Long-lasting benefits after a full cycle of treatment What can I expect after a plasma facial? Many people will experience redness or mild swelling to the area, but this fades rapidly and is generally gone in 48 hours. The results of a plasma facial vary from person to person, and several treatments are recommended for full, long-lasting benefits. The body does need some time to stimulate collagen production and regenerate smoother, more elastic skin. A healthy diet, plenty of water, stress management and enough sleep will go a long way towards maximizing the benefits of a plasma facial. If you have any questions, please contact us at -.
