PRP Skin treatment is the latest innovation in cosmetic skin rejuvenation. It is a regenerative medicine which has created quite a stir! There is a great deal of interest in the ability to heal wounds and improve skin and hair through the use of growth factors and stem cells. Platelets are designed to heal injuries through their richness of growth factors such as platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), transforming growth factor (TGF) as well as other bioactive proteins. PRP stimulates the regeneration of tissues and the growth of collagen.

There are 3 phases to the wound-repair process:

• Phase I - Inflammation

  • Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to disinfect the wound, remove debris, increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.

• Phase II - Proliferation

  • The wound is rebuilt with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.

• Phase III - Remodeling

  • The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels. 

PRP Facial Treatment

If you are looking to tighten skin, improve texture, minimize pores, diminish scarring and reducing fine lines and wrinkles, PRP Facial is a great option. It is recommended to undergo a series of 3-4 treatments separated by 4-6 weeks for optimum results. For continued maintenance/long lasting results it is recommended every 4-6 months following initial treatment.

Benefits

PRP stimulates collagen and elastin production which thickens and tightens thinning skin, effectively smoothing wrinkles and fine lines. Because it boosts collagen, it’s also a great treatment for improving overall skin texture and tone. It’s particularly good for people who suffer from Rosacea or acne and it is an important treatment option for aging skin.

PRP is extremely effective for treating difficult to treat areas, such as the delicate under eye area where clients often notice signs of aging first but where no laser can be used. 

PRP is very safe because it uses your own natural elements. It’s also not a new treatment. It has been recognized and used in the hospital system for its effective wound healing properties since the 1970’s and in sports medicine.

Furthermore, PRP is mostly used together with Hyaluronic Acid fillers to enhance the filler’s volumizing effect, encourage formation of collagen in the area and prolong the filler’s effect.

Results

The results will depend on the kind of treatment as well as the number of treatments. A majority of people need an average of 5 treatments that are spaced 4-6 weeks apart. For deeper wrinkles, advanced photo-aging, stretch marks and scars, a patient may need 6 or more treatments. Additionally, maintenance treatments are recommended every 4-6 months.
