Using a centrifuge for plasma lifting

Using a centrifuge for plasma lifting

Recent years have confirmed the popularity of modern plasma injection therapy among patients of clinics of aesthetic dentistry and implantology, maxillofacial surgery, cardiac surgery, orthopedics, as well as dermatology and cosmetology. Today, even beauty salons are already considering the possibility of including this procedure in the services provided.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and high-molecular protein fibrin (PRF) are obtained from the patient's own blood by centrifugation (separation). For this purpose, a universal medical centrifuge for plasma lifting is used, which is a small laboratory centrifuge compatible with many different test tubes.

What functions does the centrifuge perform?

The main tasks of the laboratory centrifuge are the separation of fractions of different densities and the extraction of sediment in a liquid substance. This process occurs as a result of very fast rotations, during which a centrifugal force acts that exceeds the acceleration of gravity.

A small amount of venous blood is taken from the patient and placed in a special separator, and then in the centrifuge chamber. The device sets the mode of the duration and frequency of rotation of the rotor (speed range from 1000 to a maximum of 4000 revolutions per minute). During the centrifugation process, the blood is divided into its constituent components (fractions).

After that, the PRP is transferred to a sterile container to prevent the reverse diffusion of the isolated platelets. The enriched plasma obtained in this way (Platelet Rich Plasma) contains growth factors with a proven biostimulating effect, including:

  • improvement of microcirculation in tissues;
  • stimulation of the production of new cells;
  • stimulation of collagen and elastin production;
  • reduction of pain.

The advantages of using PRP-therapy with plasma is its safety. The introduction of a drug obtained from the patient's body and processed in a centrifuge will not cause allergic reactions that may occur in the case of the use of a foreign biomaterial.

Types of laboratory centrifuges

Specific models of the device differ in their design and principle of operation. Among them, we can distinguish a centrifuge:

  • horizontal;
  • filtration system;
  • sedimentation (sedimentation);
  • universal;
  • specialized.

The above-mentioned models of centrifuges for plasma lifting are also divided into:

  1. Mobile mini-centrifuges – they are light in weight, which makes them easy and fast to carry. They most often have electromagnetic locking covers. The person operating the centrifuge can control the device in terms of speed levels and force intensity. A big advantage of such models is an easy-to-read display and an asynchronous motor controlled by a microprocessor.
  2. Professional laboratory centrifuges – made of high-quality materials (durable plastic). They are characterized by low weight, compact size and high performance. In addition, they have a low noise level during operation. They are recommended for use in hospitals, biochemical laboratories, aesthetic medicine clinics, as well as in beauty salons. The centrifuges hold test tubes with a capacity of 10-15 ml. The device management is intuitive. Thanks to the built-in timer, you do not need to remember the rotation parameters and the operating time of the device. Everything can be set via a readable digital display, and an audible signal will inform you when the process is completed.

Before making a final decision about buying a specific centrifuge for the production of platelet-rich blood plasma, it is worth comparing several offers. The best devices are those that allow you to tilt the test tubes so that the angle of centrifugation is adjusted in accordance with the type of material processing used.

Centrifuge for plasmolifting in dentistry

Plasma centrifuge in dentistry is used for sinus lifting-a procedure for building bone tissue of the maxillary sinuses, as well as the jaw in places where there are no teeth. For this purpose, laboratory test tubes with blood taken from the patient are subjected to a double vortex rotation in the device to obtain a rich platelet plasma.

The presence of a huge number of platelets in the plasma promotes the stimulation of tissue repair processes and regeneration of the epithelium of the mucous membranes. Fibrin (PRF), rich in stem cells, also supports regenerating processes, facilitating the restoration of bones and soft tissues where they are absent.

Unlike biomaterials of animal or synthetic origin, possible allergic reactions and concomitant disorders are completely excluded. The centrifuge for plasmolifting is indispensable for:

  • bone grafting (osteoplasty);
  • tooth extraction;
  • implantation.

The postoperative period is painless, the swelling subsides much faster and the healing process of wounds after surgical operations is significantly accelerated.

Centrifuges for plasmolifting in cosmetology

The so – called "vampire facelift", a cosmetic procedure for facial rejuvenation, is very popular among patients of aesthetic medicine. After taking the patient's own blood, it is centrifuged to obtain active platelets contained in the plasma. They are very important for the regeneration of skin cells.

The drug obtained in this way contains growth factors that stimulate the reproduction of epidermal cells, the synthesis of intercellular matrix and DNA synthesis, as well as activate microcirculation and the production of collagen by fibroblasts.

Effects of treatment with platelet-rich plasma:

  • smoothing of scars, including from acne;
  • increase the elasticity of the skin;
  • removal of bags and shadows under the eyes;
  • improving the texture and complexion of the face;
  • acceleration of postoperative wound healing;
  • increase the skin tone of the eyelids;
  • smoothing wrinkles of the face, neck, decollete area, around the mouth and eyes;
  • rejuvenation of hands with signs of aging;
  • reduction of cellulite and stretch marks
  • rapid removal of psoriatic plaques and warts.

The skin is restored thanks to autologous cell therapy. PRP treatment can also be carried out in the summer, since the sun is not a contraindication. The use of plasmolifting is well combined with other types of treatment – a fractional laser, a fractional mesotherapy device (dermapen) and radio frequency microneedles.

How to choose a suitable centrifuge?

When buying medical equipment for plasmolifting, it is necessary to focus primarily on:

  • dimensions of the device;
  • rotation speed;
  • noise level,
  • the number of test tubes that can fit.

In dentistry and cosmetology, small-volume centrifuges designed for 8 test tubes are usually used. For large clinical laboratories, you need to purchase devices for 12 test tubes with a volume of 15 ml each. You should also pay attention to the warranty period provided by the manufacturer.
