Platelet Rich Plasma
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a medical treatment that involves injecting a concentrated form of a patient's own blood plasma, which contains a high concentration of platelets, growth factors, and other bioactive proteins, into specific areas of the body to stimulate tissue repair, regeneration, and healing.
PRP therapy has been used in various medical fields, including orthopedics, sports medicine, dentistry, and dermatology, for its potential benefits in accelerating healing and tissue regeneration. In aesthetics, PRP therapy is commonly used for skin rejuvenation and hair restoration.
During a PRP procedure, blood is drawn from the patient, typically from the arm, and then spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from other blood components. The concentrated PRP is then injected or applied topically to the target area, such as the face for cosmetic purposes or the scalp for hair restoration.
The growth factors and other bioactive proteins in PRP are believed to promote collagen production, improve blood circulation, and stimulate cellular repair and regeneration, leading to improvements in skin texture, tone, and elasticity, as well as hair growth and thickness.
PRP therapy is generally considered safe when performed by a trained healthcare professional. However, its effectiveness can vary depending on individual factors such as skin type, age, and the specific condition being treated.
