The platelet-rich plasma injection (PRP) therapy rejuvenates the skin and enhances skin volume for very noticeable anit-ageing effects. This therapy is regarded to be dependable and efficient for people with different skin types because it uses no foreign components and is barely obtrusive.
PRP for anti-ageing
PRP injections are used to treat wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin, and other signs of skin ageing. They are injected just below the skin’s surface. It may be used for hollow cheeks, acne scars, pockmarks, and pretty much any other area of the face that needs extra volume to seem more defined. It is very useful in correcting hollow cheeks, nasolabial folds, and other unwanted lines.
PRP injections are safe for persons of all skin tones and ethnicities, but they should not be given to those who have clotting issues, take blood-thinning medications, or are receiving antibiotic therapy for infection. The Doctor will determine whether or not the patient is the ideal fit for this therapy after thoroughly analysing their skin and overall health. To get the greatest outcomes, patients should have realistic expectations. PRP is not an instant fix, but a rejuvenation journey.
How does PRP work for anti-ageing
During the Platelet Rich Plasma process, the doctor will take a small sample of the patient’s blood, from which platelets are concentrated. Platelets are a store for many growth factors & other regenerative molecules. PRP promotes the production of collagen, elastin and new dermal tissue, when injected into certain skin locations to increase healing, regeneration and rejuvenate the skin’s overall appearance.
Results of Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections
Following a PRP injection, growth factors are released into the skin for up to seven to ten days, which aids in promoting collagen production and giving the skin a full, healthy, and youthful appearance. Most patients see immediate benefits and continue to improve as the oedema subsides. Full results may not be seen for three weeks as volume gradually increases throughout therapy. a course of treatment over several months is normally advised.
PRP injections are quite effective in improving skin’s appearance and helping people to look and feel younger than they would otherwise.
Benefits of PRP Treatment
Platelet-rich plasma therapy is quite versatile. Although it was primarily developed in orthodontics and orthopaedics, it now has a wide range of applications in sports medicine, regrowing hair, and treating skin conditions, burns, ulcers & chronic wounds.
In the field of skin treatments, potential applications include:
- Minimising wrinkles, lines, and creases
- Add natural volume to lift sagging skin.
- Skin tone and complexion should be improved
- Minimising acne scarring
- Encourage brightness and radiance
Safety
Due to the fact that the patient’s own blood is used, there is essentially little danger of an allergic reaction or any other negative effects. The majority of patients only have little or minor side effects, which typically fade away after one to two days and include bruising, swelling, itching, and discolouration at the injection site. The doctor will discuss the safety of platelet-rich plasma injections with the patient before starting therapy and address any concerns they may have.
