Platelets are a type of blood cell that plays a vital role in the body’s natural healing process, as they contain growth factors that help stimulate the production of new cells and tissues. PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a medical treatment involving injecting a patient with a concentration of their platelets to promote healing and tissue regeneration.
PRP therapy has been used in cosmetic procedures to improve the appearance of the skin and reduce the signs of ageing. It is believed to stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that helps to maintain the structure and elasticity of the skin.
PRP therapy treats various medical conditions, including chronic injuries, joint pain, tendonitis, and muscle strains. It is also used in cosmetic procedures to improve the appearance of the skin, stimulate hair growth, and reduce the appearance of scars.
In a PRP skin rejuvenation treatment, a small sample of the patient’s blood is taken and placed in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the other blood cells. The concentrated platelets are then injected into the patient’s skin, typically in the face, neck, or hands. The injection may be given alone or combined with other treatments, such as micro-needling, which involves using a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin.
PRP skin rejuvenation treatment is generally considered safe, with minimal downtime and few side effects. However, as with any medical procedure, there is a small risk of complications, such as infection or bleeding. Patients should discuss the potential benefits and risks with their doctor before undergoing PRP skin rejuvenation treatment.
PRP is an effective treatment to use. It uses the body’s healing mechanisms to treat the skin and works well for people with sensitive skin types. The procedure is minimally invasive, so it doesn’t require any downtime or pain. Most patients can return to work after a day of recovery, but you must follow all instructions given by your doctor before resuming normal activities.
PRP can be used on all skin types to provide anti-ageing benefits and improve discoloration and scarring problems caused by acne scarring or trauma due to accidents or surgery.
