With the innate ability to heal itself, the human body is nothing short of remarkable. However, when it comes to specific skin concerns, including aging, laxity, and acne, there is only so much the body can do, and that is where regenerative medicine comes in.
Regenerative medicine, such as PRP treatment is an innovative discipline in which researchers seek new medicines that can mimic and stimulate the mechanisms that enable the human body to heal.
PRP, also known as platelet-rich plasma, is one of the most commonly used regenerative medicine disciplines on the market and is highly effective in treating several ailments including skin quality, hair loss, gynaecological concerns, and even sports injuries.
In anti-aging, PRP treatment is used to stimulate healthy cell activity within the skin by boosting collagen production and regenerating healthy tissue to address some of the most common concerns patients face when it comes to aging, including:
• Skin texture
• Overall volume
• Wrinkles and facial lines
• Nasolabial folds
• Acne
• Skin laxity
What is PRP?
PRP treatment has been proven to yield outstanding results in regen arrive medicine and cosmetics. It works by harnessing a high concentration of platelets from the human blood to encourage the body to begin its natural healing procedure.
First, healthy blood must be extracted from the patient’s arm, and placed into a special centrifuge to separate the blood from its key constituents. These constituents are then injected into the desired treatment area.
Every injection contains a substantial amount of growth factors, plasma, platelets, and healthy stem cells that help to rejuvenate and restore healthy skin tissue.
The high percentage of growth factors present within PRP injections play a critical role in speeding up the overall healing process and boosting the regeneration of damaged tissues. In turn, this stimulates the production of new cells and improves overall skin tone, and texture, giving the face a more radiant and youthful appearance.
Is PRP Safe?
PRP uses nothing but nutrients found within a patient’s own blood, making it one of the safest regenerative medicine treatments on the market suitable for almost anybody.
However, there are certain skin conditions, liver or blood disorders, and medications for which PRP may not be suitable.
