Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP): Healing Factors From Your Own Body


PRP is a treatment that involves injecting a concentrated source of platelet rich plasma obtained from patient's own blood to into respective area of concern to promote tissue healing. PRP has been used not only for cosmetic purposes but also in treating orthopedic conditions such as joint degenerative conditions, tendonitis, plastic surgery, wound healing post surgery or burn injury to name a few.

PRP contains not only high concentrations of platelets but also seven different growth factors that stimulates tissue regeneration, collagen production and formation of new blood vessels to the treated area.


PRP treatment is a great option for:


  • Improving wrinkles and lines at the surrounding eyes, mouth, forehead and neck
  • Acne Scars
  • Dull lifeless and sagging skin 
  • Combination with Fractional CO2 laser treatment for enhanced effect
  • Hair loss treatment
  • Patients looking for alternative to Botox and fillers


The Procedure...

 

PRP procedure involves withdrawing patient's own blood (~30cc) and centrifuging it to separate the red blood cells from the plasma (yellow colored blood component). The plasma obtained is then re-injected into concerned areas of the face to improve wrinkles, sagging, volume loss, and scars to achieve the rejuvenated, lifting affect. The treatment will not yield an instantaneous result, however will be appreciated over a period of time as the new collagen and tissue repair occurs. PRP can be combined with micro-needling or laser treatments for a more dramatic results.
