Whether to make masks at home or go to the salon for the next cosmetic innovation, each of us decides for ourselves. However, it is not always possible to repeat the procedure at home with the same success as a certified specialist.
For example, a new invention by cosmetologists is bixiplasty.
How much does this service cost, what are its consequences, are there any reviews?..
Advantages and disadvantages
Hair bioplasty is positioned as an alternative. Of course, the procedure has both advantages and disadvantages.
The positive aspects include:
- absence of harmful components (formaldehyde);
- curls take on a natural, healthy appearance;
- As a result of exposure, the strands receive nutrients that are sealed inside the hairs.
There is one minus, but quite significant - a short-term effect .
What it is?
Botox procedure
This is a hair healing procedure that uses two types of composition - the first is a reconstructive serum containing nutritional and restorative components and acts from within the hair, the second allows beneficial substances to penetrate deeper into the hair structure.
When asked whether Botox straightens hair or not, the answer is negative: this drug only slightly smoothes the hair. It also seals split ends and gives the curls a well-groomed appearance, restoring the structure.
Reference! Botox does not contain botulinum toxin, but is so named because of the similar effect of this substance on the skin.
Below you can watch a video of how this procedure goes:
Keratin
This procedure is aimed specifically at straightening curls due to their weight, giving the strands shine and softness. In the process, keratin protein fills the voids inside the hair, which becomes stronger.
How is it different from other straightening products?
Before going to the hairdresser, it is better to thoroughly find out what is better - bixiplasty or keratin straightening?
In fact, the preparation and actual manipulation of bioplastics and keratin are very similar; both procedures have strengths and weaknesses .
Botox
Application takes place in 4 stages :
- The curls are washed with a professional cleansing shampoo, which helps to open the scales on each hair.
- The strands are dried a little (not completely) and a special reconstructive serum is applied.
- A sealing composition is distributed throughout the hair, which keeps the serum inside the hair shaft for a long time.
- Finally, the strands are treated with a leave-in mask.
Keratin smoothing
The use of keratin is suitable for any hair , even very hard and very curly, dry and brittle.
- For deep cleansing, use a special shampoo with a high pH level.
- The master distributes liquid keratin over slightly dried strands with a brush, making sure that the composition spreads evenly. In this case, the root zone and scalp are not involved.
- The treated strands are sealed with a heat iron at a temperature above 200 °C.
- Slightly cooled curls are washed, treated with a strengthening composition, washed again and dried with a hairdryer.
After about 3–5 days you cannot:
- do hair;
- fix the curls with an elastic band, hoop or hairpins;
- put strands behind the ears;
- wet or wash your hair.
Visiting the swimming pool, bathhouse, and sauna is prohibited. You should not use styling products, and you can dye your curls no earlier than 14 days after keratin treatment .
Nanoplasty
The second name for bixiplasty. It differs from other procedures in the composition of its components. The Honma Tokyo brand is considered an innovator in the field of hair straightening cosmetics .
Products from Honma Tokyo do not contain formaldehyde or hazardous resins.
Hair nanoplasty is allowed even during pregnancy.
What is bixiplasty for hair?
Bixiplasty is a relatively new procedure in beauty salons. Its development belongs to the famous Brazilian company HONMA Tokyo, which has long established itself in the hairdressing services market.
Bixiplasty belongs to the group of straightening procedures, along with, for example, lamination. Essentially, this technology is a new generation of keratin straightening products. This operation is suitable for all hair types: the drugs cope with even the most complex cases of ethnic curl structure. Thanks to this procedure, the unruly mop acquires structure and discipline.
The frizz disappears and the hair is no longer electrified. It also saturates the hair with useful microelements, so the hair immediately takes on a healthy and well-groomed appearance.
The procedure is performed in a two-step method. First, the master uses a special shampoo. Its task is to cleanse the hair of dirt and open the cuticle of the strand so that restorative microelements can get inside it. At the second stage, a mask is applied to the curls. She, interacting with a hot iron, restores hair.
Bioplastics owes its name to the extract of the Bixa Orellana fruit.
REFERENCE: Bixa orellana (also known as the Lipstick Tree) is an evergreen tree native to the forests of South America. Bixa grows not only in forests, but also in garden plots, so today it can be classified as a cultivated species. The oil of this plant has healing and restorative properties, therefore it is widely used in cosmetology.
Indications and contraindications
One of the indications for nanoplasty is split ends. Thanks to the laminating effect of the straightening composition, problematic ends are sealed, and the curls become smooth and shiny .
Another argument in favor of bixiplasty is annoying curly, fluffy strands that are difficult to comb.
Bixiplasty is contraindicated:
- severely damaged hair: you will have to cut off part of the length;
- people prone to severe allergic reactions;
- in cases of skin rashes on the head and dandruff;
- with severe hair loss.
Benefits and harms of the procedure
Thanks to bixiplasty, hair becomes soft, vibrant, and most importantly, straight! The procedure provides a restorative and healing effect, so just one visit to the specialist is enough to restore your hair to its original beauty.
The curls become denser, more elastic, and split ends disappear. This operation is well suited for older women: most of the components in the mask work in the Anti-Age direction.
There are many discussions about the harm from the procedure. Experts recognize the composition as absolutely safe for humans.
IMPORTANT: the preparation for bixiplasty does not contain toxic formaldehyde, which can cause the appearance and development of cancer. Phenoxyethanol, which does not accumulate in the human body, is responsible for straightening in this case.
Popular myths about bixiplasty
However, along with keratin straightening, there are many myths about the dangers of bixiplasty.
Let's consider and dispel the most popular of them.
- Bixiplasty is stressful for your curls.
This is absolutely not true. The procedure is aimed at restoring damaged strands and has healing properties. Keratin fills the hair from the inside, restoring its former smoothness, and Bixa orellana extract promotes the regeneration of horny tissue.
- Hairstyle loses its fullness
Bixiplasty does not weigh down your hair at all, so you don’t have to worry about your curls looking sleek. When the procedure is carried out correctly, the strands become more airy, lie better and appear denser.
- Hair gets dirty faster.
It is a myth. On the contrary, women note that after bixiplasty they have less need to wash their hair, and their hair remains clean twice as long.
Stages of the procedure
Nanoplasty is carried out in several stages . At the first stage, the master applies a special shampoo that removes the deepest impurities, lifts the scales on the surface of each hair and prepares the strands for the second stage - applying a straightening composition.
For better distribution of the product, the strands are divided into 4 zones and, at a distance of approximately 10 mm from the scalp, the mask is distributed using a fine comb. The drug is left on the hair for about 20 minutes and washed off .
After this, the curls are dried with cool air and treated with a heat iron, which allows you to seal all the scales on each hair.
The curls are allowed to cool and washed again.
Installation of mesothreads as a progressive method of rejuvenation
Bioreinforcement is a good alternative to gold reinforcement, which provides a minimally invasive effect on the middle layer of the skin. Bioreinforcement is the “firmware” of facial muscle tissue with mesothreads in areas of sagging. The intersecting threads create a mesh, which is the frame on which the muscles are supported. We are not talking about local elimination of wrinkles, but about the effect of contouring.
What is masonite?
This material can be called thread conditionally. As a rule, this is a gel-like substance that is “sewn” into the skin with a needle. Mesothreads can consist of both hyaluronic acid and another raw material - polydioxanone, which has been used in surgery as a suture material for more than 30 years.
Mesothreads are several times thinner than hair. They are attached to the tip of the guide needle and are easily separated from the needle on its return stroke. Mesothreads do not remain in the thickness of the skin forever. The materials that mesothreads are made of are physiologically compatible and biodegradable.
Mesothreads
What happens during the procedure
First, the doctor marks the face and determines which lines need to be “stitched.” The cannula (the long needle we talked about) is inserted under the skin along the indicated line. Then the needle is oscillated and shaken so that, due to movement in the microchannel, the needle expands the groove. The doctor then withdraws the needle and injects the drug as the needle slides back.
The mesothread is in the microchannel for some time in a liquid state. But awakened fibroblasts begin to produce collagen fibers, and the channel becomes overgrown with collagen. A secondary network is formed, created by the body’s reserves. It lasts much longer than the threads themselves. Mesothreads dissolve after 180-240 days from the date of the procedure.
Validity
Bioreinforcement preserves the youth of the face for 1.5-2 years, after which it requires repeated “sew-in” of mesothreads. The effect appears immediately after the procedure.
Bioreinforcement is different in that it does not limit the patient’s freedom of action. Immediately after the session, you can return to your usual rhythm of life.
Procedure for introducing mesothreads
Results, how often you need to do it and how long the effect of the procedure lasts
Unfortunately, the effect of bixiplasty is short-lived . Some girls note that the procedure lasts only 2-3 months, although manufacturers promise a duration of up to six months.
It should be noted here that everything depends on the degree of fluffiness of the hair and the individual characteristics of each individual person.
The result of nanoplasty is a healthy appearance of strands, lack of frizz, alignment and improvement of hair structure .
What is hair nanoplasty?
Nanoplasty is based on the concepts of improving the structure and enhancing the external beauty of hair. The procedure has many similarities with keratin straightening, only it does not contain harmful substances, namely formaldehyde. Therefore, the strands are susceptible to therapeutic effects, not chemical ones. The drug has an ecological composition, in which keratin makes up only 1%.
Before you find out how hair nanoplasty differs from Botox, you need to pay attention to the composition of the drug that cosmetologists work with. The drug is made from natural ingredients, therefore it does not cause an allergic reaction and does not contain formaldehyde
Includes:
- wheat proteins;
- silk proteins;
- collagen, elastin;
- complex of amino acids.
The action is similar to keratin straightening. Nanoplasty is done during pregnancy, lactation, and in some cases it is recommended for use for children. The only drawback of the procedure is the lightening by 2 tones. Re-painting is allowed after 2-3 weeks.
The principle of performing cosmetic care work:
- clean strands are actively irrigated with water to saturate them with moisture as much as possible;
- dividing the mop into separate strands, apply the preparation so as not to touch the roots (keep the composition for no more than 1 hour);
- rinse with clean water, then dry with a hairdryer.
At the end of the procedure, you can use an iron to straighten the strands, while the temperature is set so as not to burn it. Next, they practice treating the strands with argan or castor oil, which reduces dryness. Finish the job by reapplying the iron.
The drug has a slight odor reminiscent of fermented milk products. The substance is gel-like and easily absorbed.
When signing up for a cosmetic procedure, you need to decide to allocate time from 2 to 5 hours, the duration depends on the length and thickness. The effect lasts up to 6 months and after 2-3 months you can repeat the procedure, which has cumulative properties. To maintain hygiene, use sulfate-free shampoos and use conditioner. When styling, use a brushing comb.
Features of aftercare
After straightening, the specialist will definitely tell you what care features need to be taken into account:
- replace your usual shampoos and conditioners with sulfate-free ones;
- It is better if there are no salts in hair care products;
- after washing, the curls are dried at medium temperature using a hairdryer;
- You can use styling products, but this is not necessary, because the curls themselves hold their shape perfectly.
Review of care products
The bixiplasty kit includes:
- Plast hair bixyplastia shampoo - shampoo with deep cleaning function and high pH;

Many salons offer this procedure to their clients. And it is worth noting that it is popular. The masters note that bixiplasty has become the basis in their work, since this procedure provides several effects at once. She guarantees that there will be no problems in working with your hair. Even the driest hair comes back to life. They become dense and elastic. A glossy shine appears.
The price for bixiplasty starts from 7,000 rubles for short hair to 17,000 for the treatment of long curls .

The technology for performing bixiplasty at home is absolutely similar to a salon operation. First of all, you will need to wash your hair with a deep cleansing shampoo. Then dry them halfway and apply the solution to each strand.
IMPORTANT: do not skimp on the product. If you don't apply enough product to your hair, the heat from the iron will burn your locks instead of sealing them.
Wait twenty minutes for the mask to saturate your hair. Cool air dry your hair, then carefully stretch each section seven to ten times. Let the strands cool, then wash your hair with warm water without using cleansers.
