I-PRF (plasmolifting)

Advantage of I-PRF over a Plasmolifting Procedure

Under the plasmolifting procedure, PRP (Platelets Reach Plasma) is obtained from the blood, by processing it in a centrifuge with addition of an anticoagulant agent. The end result of any regeneration procedure depends on the duration of growth factors release. When using PRP, they are released immediately, while PRF allows releasing them during 7 days. The growth factors’ lifetime after they are released from platelets is 3 minutes. Therefore, when using PRP, the body cells receive the regenerative growth factors only for a few minutes, while when using PRF, they get the factors continuously during 7 days, which provides better opportunities for the "tired cells" renewal.

Essentially, I-PRF is an improved and much more effective method of plasma application (plasmolifting) to regenerate the body cells and it features a wider range of indications for use.

Why to Have the Procedure Conducted in iStomatolog Center?

• our equipment allows obtaining blood plasma enriched with fibrin, which serves as a frame for skin and mucous membranes rejuvenation;
• we use so-called "clean" tubes that do not contain agents to prevent blood coagulation, and as the result, the plasma works up to 7 days at the injection site, enhancing the procedure effectiveness and allowing to reduce the number of visits and to increase a time interval between them.

Indications for the I-PRF Procedure

Face, decollate and hands plasmolifting:

• removal of fine lines and smoothing of deeper wrinkles;
• skin turgor improvement (advanced skin tightness) and facial contours tightening;
• dry skin improvement;
• complexion enhancing;
• skin regeneration after tanning (both natural and artificial);
• acne treatment in adolescents and adults;
• scars and pitted acne scars removal;
• in complex therapy of hyperpigmentation and spider veins;
• for smokers (activates the antioxidant system);
• skin regeneration after aggressive methods of chemical and laser exfoliation.

The procedure frequency is once in 3-4 weeks. The minimum amount is 2 times for acne treatment and averagely 4 times for rejuvenating effect. The course frequency (every 6 months or every 1-2 years) is determined taking into account the problem and age.

Examples of face plasmolifting:

• deepening of the nasolabial folds and chin fold
• upper lip wrinkles.

Indications for Plasmolifting of the Hairy Part of the Head

• hair loss (including seasonal and associated with pharmaceutical drugs, diet and stress)
• local hair loss
• scalp dryness treatment (when dandruff is associated with dry skin rather than with fungus)
• hair growth activating and accelerating.

As for the "head" plasmolifting, it is necessary to take into account that hair loss decreases in 2-3 weeks and returns to normal in 2 months. When treating hair loss, the result in the form of "new hairs" will be noticeable not earlier than in 8-9 months.

The procedure frequency varies from 2 to 4 weeks. If necessary, plasmolifting of the hairy part of the head is conducted again – this depends on the initial situation and is determined individually in the process of treatment.

Indications for Gum Plasmolifting:

• gum inflammation (gingivitis);
• gum and bone tissue inflammation (periodontitis);
• prevention of complications and in the complex treatment of complications after surgical manipulations, such as tooth extraction, implant placement, bone grafting, dental cyst removal, maxillary sinus surgery;
• post- debridement care;
• in the complex therapy of periodontal diseases (laser treatment, ozone therapy, Vector-therapy).

Plasmolifting is a right hand in dentistry, since it enhances natural restorative and protective functions.

Frequency of oral cavity plasmolifting:

• in surgery treatment - on a one-off basis;
• treatment of surgical implications - 1-3 procedures;
• treatment of gingivitis and periodontitis - 1-2 procedures repeated once every 6-12 months.

What to Choose: Revitalization, Biorevitalisation or Plasmolifting?

It is necessary to understand that revitalization and biorevitalization are aimed at temporary cosmetic improvement of the skin condition. Under plasmolifting, our cells start working and regenerating more intensively, and the procedure effect is cumulative. Therefore, it is incorrect to compare the procedures, since they are different and not interchangeable.
