PLATELET-RICH PLASMA (PRP)
What is PRP?
PRP or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is derived from human blood that is processed in a centrifuge to separate and concentrate platelets to levels higher than usual. While platelets are primarily known for their role in blood clotting, they also possess powerful healing properties that can aid in the recovery of muscles, tendons, and ligaments. The growth factors released by platelets attract repair cells, support tissue regeneration, and speed up the healing process of soft tissues.
How Skin PRP Works?
- Blood Collection: A small amount of your blood is drawn, similar to a routine blood test.
- PRP Extraction: The blood is spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components. This PRP is packed with growth factors that stimulate healing and collagen production.
- Application: The PRP is either injected into targeted areas or applied topically after a micro-needling session. This allows the growth factors to penetrate deeply, promoting cell regeneration and collagen synthesis.
- Rejuvenation and Healing: The activated growth factors encourage skin repair, reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars while improving skin elasticity and texture.
