PLATELET - RICH PLASMA (PRP)
Explained

PRP injections have gained popularity for addressing various medical conditions and cosmetic concerns.

WHAT IS PLATELET-RICH PLASMA (PRP)?

PRP is a medical treatment that utilizes a patient's blood cells to accelerate healing in specific areas. It consists of plasma (the liquid portion of blood) and platelets, which contain growth factors that stimulate collagen, cell reproduction and tissue regeneration.

To create PRP, a blood sample is taken from the patient and processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets within the plasma.

WHAT IS A PRP INJECTION?

After obtaining PRP from a patient's blood, it is injected into the target area, often guided by ultrasound. The goal is to increase the concentration of growth factors in the area to expedite cell healing, skin rejuvenation and even promoting hair growth.

PROCEDURE:

Blood Collection:

A small amount of blood, typically around 30-60 milliliters, is drawn from the patient's arm using a syringe.

Centrifugation:

The collected blood is placed in a centrifuge, a machine that spins at high speeds to separate its components based on density. This process separates the platelets and other beneficial growth factors from the red and white blood cells.

Isolation of PRP:

After centrifugation, the platelet-rich plasma is carefully extracted, leaving behind the concentrated platelets in a smaller volume of plasma.

Injection:

The PRP is then injected into the targeted area of the body, such as an injured joint, tendon, or facial skin.

BENEFITS OF PRP THERAPY

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy offers a range of benefits for various cosmetic and medical concerns.

FOR SKIN

While used in anti-aging treatments, evidence supporting PRP's effectiveness in reducing wrinkles and signs of aging is limited.

Reduced Appearance of Wrinkles and Fine Lines:

PRP can help minimize the signs of aging, such as hooded eyelids, wrinkles and fine lines.

Enhanced Scarring:

PRP may aid in the improvement of scars, including acne scars.

Improved Tear Troughs and Dark Circles:

PRP can be used to address under-eye concerns like dark circles and hollows.

Reduced Signs of Sun Damage and Skin Pigmentation:

PRP may contribute to a more even skin tone and reduced sun damage.

Stimulation of Natural Collagen Production:

PRP can stimulate the body's collagen production, resulting in skin tightening.

Balanced Skin Dryness or Oiliness:

PRP may help regulate skin hydration levels.

Reduced Skin Redness:

PRP treatment can be used to diminish skin redness.

Diminished Stretch Marks:

PRP may aid in reducing the appearance of stretch marks.

Natural Collagen Induction:

PRP encourages the natural production of collagen, promoting skin health.

FOR HAIR

Enhanced Hair Thickness and Health:

PRP is effective in promoting hair growth and improving the health of existing hair.

These diverse applications make PRP therapy a versatile option for individuals seeking improvements in both skin and hair health.

RISKS AND SIDE EFFECTS OF PRP THERAPY

PRP injections are generally low-risk and well-tolerated. Common side effects include soreness and bruising at the injection site. Less common risks encompass bleeding, tissue damage, infection, and nerve injuries.
