Platelet-Rich Plasma injections are used to stimulate and accelerate the natural repair process of the body. The injections are prepared from a small sample of patients’ own blood, minimizing risks and side effects. The blood is collected from the patient and spun in a centrifuge to separate the blood into different components. The component of blood with the highest concentration of platelets is extracted. This is then injected back into the target site, where it stimulates the body’s natural healing process.
The process takes about 30-45 minutes, can be repeated every four weeks if needed, and aside from bruising, has little to no negative side effects. The benefit for many people is the option to use their own natural body’s pathways to improve their skin, rather than injecting fillers
There are many clinical applications for PRP—it’s used for the treatment of hair loss, acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks, pigmentation, volume loss, wrinkles, fine lines, and crepey skin texture
PRP is used when skin elasticity and volume are concerned. It will improve skin quality and smooth fine lines of the face, hands and neck area. Patients will notice an improvement in puffiness and darkness under the eyes. Overall the skin will appear more youthful, tighter, and with an improved skin tone to no negative side effects. The benefit for many people is the option to use their own natural body’s path.
It is also used to improve the health of the skin, particularly sun-damaged skin.
