Despite being unusual, Kerline guaranteed not to feel uncomfortable at any time. “The injections were super fast and smooth. I didn’t have to worry about anything. I even want to repeat it every six months,” she says.

Curious to know how it works? Dermatologist Patrícia Mafra explained it tim-tim by tim-tim to us. “Before the procedure itself, a small amount of blood is withdrawn from a patient’s vein, in the same way as when performing tests. This collected material undergoes a specific treatment process by being inserted into a centrifuge that separates the plasma from the blood,” she introduces.

“We can perform procedures such as microneedling, microneedling radiofrequency and microdermabrasion. These treatments will work by opening microchannels or decreasing the thickness of the skin tissue to make the plasma, which will then be applied topically, penetrate deeper into the skin, which enhances its effectiveness”, continues the doctor.

According to the specialist, plasma is used because it concentrates a large amount of platelets, which are rich in growth factors that, when applied to a region, favor cell renewal and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. “The effect is a more elastic, firm and uniform skin”, she adds.
