What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a new form of regenerative medicine that utilizes your own blood, where the platelet rich plasma component is extracted, concentrated and reintroduced to rejuvenate the skin.
By using your own natural biology to address skin defects and volume loss to trigger production of new cells and collagen formation, the treatment is associated with no risk of allergies or infections. It is also effective for treating textural changes of the skin, wrinkles, acne scars, saggy skin, eye bags, and neck wrinkles.
How it works?
Key Benefits
Growth factors play a major role in tissue damage repair mechanism, and when is concentrated and reinfected at the problematic area, it induces the targeted tissues or skin to begin the healing process.
In cases of balding and hair thinning, these growth factors will stimulate the hair follicle and regenerate new cells that will regrow new and stronger hair follicles. Acne scars will also be improved this way when collagen cascade is stimulated naturally.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Prior to treatment, a simple blood sample of 10-20 mls is extracted from the patient. This blood is immediately placed in the centrifuge for 5-8 minutes. When centrifugation is complete your plasma will be separated from your red blood cells where the rich platelets are extracted from the base of the plasma gel. The platelets are then injected into the deep dermis or fat layer of the skin.
PRP is derived from you own biological make-up and does not contain synthetic products, therefore, virtually any area of the body can be treated such as: face, neck, chest, hands, scars, etc.
Overall, the results are gradual and will vary from person to person based on health, age, and genetic make-up. Most patients enjoy quantifiable improvements in skin complexion texture, and tone usually within 3 weeks. Subtle improvement can progressively continue for up to a year.
As we are regenerating collagen, lasting results will depend on the care and maintenance of your skin. However, 2-3 treatments will help results last up to 18 months.
