PRP treatment:
What is PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is a rejuvenation treatment that uses the innate healing and regenerative powers of your own blood. Your blood platelets, rich in growth factors, are injected into targeted areas of your skin or scalp to stimulate and accelerate cell regeneration. PRP Therapy can be used to regenerate tissue on any part of the body.
This capability makes PRP an effective treatment tool for our dermatologists to:
Tackle wrinkles, folds and depressions on the face, neck and hands. The therapy improves skin texture, color and tone; Stimulate healthy hair growth by carrying out the procedure on the scalp. Support the resurfacing of acne-damaged skin by encouraging the spontaneous regeneration of fresh, flawless skin
How PRP Treatment Works?
Both collagen (support) and hyaluronic acid (volume) need to be replenished in order to reverse the visible signs of ageing. This requires cellular rejuvenation, and dermatologists depend on PRP Therapy to do so.
Platelets in the blood contain growth factors that promote the healing and regeneration of cells. PRP is blood plasma that contains around five times the concentration of platelets found in normal blood. It is made by drawing a bit of your blood, centrifuging it to concentrate the platelets in the plasma, and then isolating this platelet-rich plasma from the red blood cells and the white blood cells. This concentrate is then injected into the targeted area.
The regenerative properties of platelets get down to work, to improve skin texture, tone and elasticity by replenishing collagen and hyaluronic acid, reactivating tissue generation and developing new blood vessels.
When PRP therapy is used for hair rejuvenation, the platelets are injected in the area where hair follicles are damaged. This improves the blood supply in the region, providing nutrition to hair follicles and thereby inducing hair growth.
What to Expect from PRP Treatment?
In many ways Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) taps into a fountain of youth and the best part is that there’s nothing extraneous. It’s all you!
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) rejuvenates your skin deep down, making it thicker and helping to erase wrinkles around the eyes and on the forehead. It reduces folds around the mouth and neck, lifting features to look more youthful. It also refines skin texture to look more bright and luminous.
As PRP therapy uses your own blood for rejuvenation, it poses almost no risk of infection or allergy. Swelling usually resolves in two to three hours.
It works wonders on the hair, making it appear thicker and more conditioned. A series of at least 3 sessions, 3 to 4 weeks apart, are required to see optimum results. You would want to follow that with maintenance sessions for long term benefits to take firm root.
