PRP FOR SKIN REJUVENATION

PLATELET RICH PLASMA (PRP) TREATMENT FOR SKIN REJUVENATION

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is an injection treatment that uses the components of a person’s own blood to stimulate skin rejuvenation. Platelets are very small cells in your blood that are involved in the clotting process. When PRP is injected into the damaged area it causes a mild inflammation that triggers the healing cascade.  As the platelets organize in the tissue they release a number of enzymes to promote healing and restoration of tissue

A small quantity of blood is drawn from the patient into a syringe. The blood is spun in a special centrifuge to separate its components (Red Blood Cells, Platelet Rich Plasma, and Plasma). A second spin is usually required to achieve optimal concentration. The platelet rich plasma is separated from the rest of the blood and then activated with a small amount of calcium to allow the release of growth factors from the platelets which in turn amplifies the healing process.  Following the administration of local anaesthesia, PRP is then injected directly into desired area.

The results are subtle, with gradual improvement in the injected area over a 3- to 5-week period. Full correction occurs at 4-7 weeks and can last as long as 18 months
