PRP- PLATELET RICH PLASMA
WHAT IS PRP?
Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is concentrated blood plasma that contains approximately 3 to 5 times the number of platelets found in normal circulating blood. In addition, it contains platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor (TGF) and other bioactive proteins that help in the rejuvenation of skin.
This is one of the safest and non-invasive US FDA approved services that stimulate collagen production, thereby reducing the appearance of fine lines, sagging skin and also rejuvenate skin making it look youthful. In this service, your body’s own plasma that is rich in platelets is used to naturally rejuvenate the skin. The blood platelets release ‘growth factors’ which help stimulate collagen production, diminishing the effects of aging on your skin. This service is natural and with no downtime. Give your skin a younger look.
PRP SKIN REJUVENATION
PRP is a facial rejuvenation treatment that uses your own plasma to stimulate collagen production and cell migration, allowing for the elimination of lines, folds, and wrinkles. Results from PRP therapy are natural looking and subtle and they can last for as long as two years. What’s more, PRP is minimally invasive, has no risk of allergic reaction, and can be used to treat nearly any area of the body without risks of side-effects, making it ideal for patients who are not interested in or are not good candidates for injectable fillers.
HOW DOES PRP REJUVENATE THE SKIN?
The body cells which aid the tissue in healing and producing new cells are called Platelets. PRP is injected into targeted areas of the skin and then forms an environment which helps in growing collagen, regenerates the tissues and makes your skin smooth and tight. PRP softens wrinkles and creates skin texture and tone that is smoother, younger and better.
PRECAUTIONS FOR PRP TREATMENT FOR SKIN REJUVENATION
While PRP treatment engineers the total facial rejuvenation, there are certain checks, which are to be made during and after the treatment.
• Discontinue the following 7 days prior treatment:
Asprin, Advil, Naproxen, Motrin, B-Lactam, Vitamin E, Multivitamins, Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Ginkgo Biloba, Ginseng, Alcohol and Green Tea,
• • Patient’s faces are to be iced once the treatment is done to prevent any bruises or burns inflicted at the areas where the injections have been implemented
• • While any irritation or swelling is only temporary, icing helps in reducing the chances of such events
• • PRP treatment involves micro-needling procedures which can inflict swelling. Hence, it is necessary to have ample breaks between the treatments to give sufficient self-healing time to skin
• • Avoid taking any other pills/drugs without prescription for at least 7-20 days post treatment and always keep your doctor informed about it
PRP HAIR RESTORATION
Hair loss can be an embarrassing issue. Male and Female pattern hair loss is a genetic problem that can leave you feeling helpless. Options, like prescription drugs, are often partially effective and carry the potential for unwanted side effects. Surgical hair restoration can be expensive and does not treat the underlying problems.
Now there is an affordable way for you to regain your hair density back without surgery or harmful side effects. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for hair restoration involves a simple injection of your own platelets into the vascular layer of the scalp.
HOW DOES PRP TREATMENT FOR HAIR LOSS WORK?
PRP Hair Restoration is suitable for both men and women. Androgenic alopecia or male pattern baldness is a very common type of hair loss observed in both males and females. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous preparation of platelets in concentrated plasma. Activation of alpha granules of platelets releases numerous proteins, including platelet-derived growth factors. Growth factors released from platelets may act on stem cells in the bulge area of the follicles, stimulating the development of new follicles and promoting neovascularization.
PRP For Hair Regrowth:
• Increases blood supply to the existing hair follicles.
• Increases shaft size (Thickness)
• Triggers and maintains the growth phase
• Controls hair growth cycle.
• Stimulates existing dormant hair follicles to grow.
• Decreases hair loss
