What is Plasma Gel Injection?
Plasma Gel Injection is a cosmetic procedure performed to smoothen or eliminate deep wrinkles and fine lines on the aging skin.
The treatment utilizes plasma gel that is made by PPP (Platelet-poor plasma) extracted from the blood of the patient to inject onto the areas that need augmentation as the solution to the dented wrinkles.
Plasma Gel Injection is similar to facial fillers as it acts as a supplement for facial volume. Uniquely, as PPP is extracted from autologous blood, it contains a variety of endogenous cell growth factors to aid in skin regeneration, which includes the bio-stimulation process, promoting collagen production and hence revives firmness back to skin.
Plasma gel is also known as Bio-Filler as it is fully extracted naturally from patient's own blood. It is a safe procedure that is used to overcome the potential risks and side effects of the use of foreign materials as well as autologous fat.
How It Works
Plasma Gel Injection works by firstly collecting blood from the patient and use a machine known as ZeroTherm to extract the PPP (Platelet-poor plasma) by centrifugation and put to heat to form gel-like PPP, which is then known as plasma gel.
It is a safe and convenient treatment as the ingredients are natural from the patient which will not cause any foreign body reaction.
The first noticeable result will be visible immediately after the treatment, followed by the collagen production effect that can be seen by 2 weeks time. The plasma gel injected can remain in the body up to 2 months and will be completely absorbed into the areas treated. It is recommended to have 3 sessions with a 4-week interval.
Plasma Gel Injection with PRP Treatment
The procedure can give more effective results when PRP treatment is conducted at the same time. The combination provides great results for dents under the eyes, nasolabial lines, marionette lines, wrinkles on the upper lips, sagging cheeks, temple, as well as neck lines.
One session of the plasma gel and PRP can have the effect that lasts up to 6 months. 3 Sessions at a 4-week interval is recommended to prolong the effect that would last up to 2 years.
