⸻ What is it?
Plasma purification at a molecular level
Plasmapheresis is an advanced medical procedure that extracts blood, separates the plasma — the liquid component where toxins, altered proteins, and inflammatory molecules circulate — and replaces it with a clean and safe albumin solution.
At Monarka, we specifically perform therapeutic plasma exchange — the modality in which plasma is removed and replaced with albumin, eliminating unwanted substances and restoring the body’s protein balance. It is the modality with the strongest clinical evidence for therapeutic and longevity applications.
The result is a body with a lower inflammatory burden and a greater capacity to respond to regenerative treatments.
01
Extraction
The blood leaves the body through a venous route and is directed to our state-of-the-art centrifugation technology, which preserves cellular integrity.
02
Separation and purification
The machine separates the plasma from the other components (red blood cells, platelets). The purified plasma contains the substances to be eliminated; healthy cells are preserved.
03
Replacement and return
The removed plasma is replaced with albumin, a highly tolerable protein. The purified blood is continuously returned to the body via the venous return line.
⸻ What eliminates
What you accumulate without
realizing it
We live in an environment with an unprecedented toxic load. The body has elimination mechanisms, but these become overwhelmed. Plasmapheresis acts where the liver and kidneys can no longer do it alone.
Microplastics
Already detected in the blood of most adults. Their presence generates silent inflammation and sustained oxidative stress.
Glycosylated and oxidized proteins
Directly responsible for accelerated aging and progressive cellular dysfunction.
Pesticides and chemical waste
Originating from conventional food, with a cumulative effect over the years.
Heavy metals and environmental toxins
Pollution, industrial pollutants and endocrine disruptors that we breathe every day in urban environments.
Pro-inflammatory molecules
Cytokines, immune complexes, and other mediators that maintain the body in a state of chronic low-grade inflammation.
“The body has very efficient elimination mechanisms, but in the current environment these systems can become overwhelmed. Plasmapheresis is a medical tool to support this cleansing capacity.”

⸻ Clinical indications
Who is it indicated for?
Plasmapheresis has applications both in preventive longevity medicine and in the treatment of specific pathologies with an inflammatory or autoimmune component.
Longevity and performance
For those who want to optimize their biology: reduce baseline inflammation, improve cellular energy, and prepare the body to respond better to regenerative treatments.
Longevity
Autoimmune diseases
Multiple sclerosis, lupus erythematosus, myasthenia gravis, Guillain-Barré syndrome. Plasmapheresis can help eliminate autoantibodies involved in the immune attack, as a complementary therapy and always under specialized medical supervision, without replacing the primary treatment.
Complementary · Medical supervision
Chronic fatigue and brain fog
When toxic saturation affects cognitive clarity and energy levels, plasma clearance can restore a cleaner, more functional metabolic environment.
Longevity
Liver and kidney overload
When the liver and kidneys are overloaded, plasmapheresis acts as external support to their cleansing functions, reducing the workload and promoting their recovery.
Metabolic
Chronic systemic inflammation
Low-grade inflammation is the common denominator of most chronic diseases. Removing pro-inflammatory molecules from the plasma is one of the most direct interventions available.
Metabolic
Enhancement of regenerative treatments
When the specialist determines that it is indicated, plasmapheresis improves the response to other protocols of the Monarka Plan: cell therapy, precision supplementation and biological activation programs respond better in an organism with a lower inflammatory load.

⸻ Results
What you can expect
The results are progressive and are noticeable in the medium to long term. The effects may vary depending on each patient’s individual profile and the overall protocol followed.
Increased energy and vitality
Reducing the inflammatory burden can free up metabolic resources that the body was using to manage that inflammation. Many patients report a progressive and sustained improvement in energy levels.
Mental clarity
Some patients report improved cognitive clarity and concentration, associated with a reduction in systemic inflammation. Individual results may vary.
Better regenerative response
By reducing factors that can inhibit cell regeneration, the body can respond more effectively to subsequent regenerative protocols of the Monarka Plan.
Reduction of systemic inflammation
Low-grade chronic inflammation is linked to accelerated aging and numerous chronic diseases. Plasmapheresis acts directly and measurably on this factor.
Support for liver and kidney function
By reducing the workload on the liver and kidneys, these organs can function more efficiently. Overall metabolism gradually returns to a more balanced state.
Sustained results
The benefits are noticeable in the medium and long term. With one session per year and by maintaining the habits developed in the Monarka Plan, the detoxifying effect is maintained and enhanced.
⸻ Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know
Is plasmapheresis the same as plasma exchange?
How long does a plasmapheresis session last?
The duration depends on individual factors such as weight, height, and hematocrit. Generally, each session lasts between 60 and 100 minutes, with a maximum of approximately 2 hours. Recovery is immediate: you can resume your normal activities the same day without needing to rest.
How many sessions are recommended?
As part of a longevity plan, one session per year is typically recommended for maintenance. The exact number and frequency of sessions are determined during the initial medical assessment, based on the patient’s health status, goals, and overall protocol.
Is it a safe treatment?
Yes. Plasmapheresis is an established and validated medical procedure, performed at Monarka by specialized professionals using high-precision centrifugation technology. The main possible side effect is the appearance of a slight bruise at the puncture site, as with any venous access. It is very well tolerated by the vast majority of patients.
Do I need to prepare beforehand?
The Monarka medical team will provide you with specific guidelines during your initial assessment. Generally, adequate hydration is recommended, and you should avoid fasting. A preliminary blood test is performed to confirm that the treatment is appropriate and to tailor the protocol to your individual needs.
How does it fit into the Monarka Plan?
Plasmapheresis is not a mandatory or automatic step in the Monarka Plan, but rather a tool that the longevity specialist prescribes when it is indicated for your individual profile. After the initial assessment—which includes blood tests if necessary—the doctor determines whether and when it makes sense to incorporate it. When indicated, its cleansing effect significantly enhances the response to the other protocols in the plan: precision nutrition, supplementation, HHT (Heat-Hypertension Therapy), and cell therapies.
How much does plasmapheresis cost at Monarka?
The price of a plasmapheresis session at Monarka Clinic is €5,000. This price includes the initial consultation with our longevity specialist, any necessary blood tests if the medical team deems them appropriate, and the complete plasmapheresis session. There are no hidden costs or additional charges.
What is the difference between this and a conventional "detox" or purification?
Plasmapheresis acts at the molecular level directly on the blood, eliminating substances that no supplement, diet, or detox protocol can reach: microplastics, glycated proteins, autoantibodies, and environmental toxins that accumulate in the plasma. It is not comparable to any nutritional or lifestyle intervention.
Assessment included in the treatment
The plasmapheresis session at Monarka includes a prior consultation with our longevity specialist: we evaluate your profile, review your history, and design how to integrate the treatment into your personal Monarka Plan.
