PRP at a Glance
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an advanced treatment that uses your body's own healing properties to rejuvenate skin and stimulate hair growth. The process involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then reinjecting this platelet-rich plasma into targeted areas. These platelets contain growth factors that promote healing, collagen production, and tissue regeneration.
THE FACTS: Injectable dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected underneath your skin to change its appearance. They’re a popular and minimally invasive treatment for wrinkles. As you age, skin that sags or wrinkles can be caused by the loss of fat and proteins in the skin layer. Injectables can’t permanently replace lost fat and proteins, but they can mimic your skin’s original structure.
People may consider having microneedling with PRP if they want to treat certain marks or blemishes on the body or face for cosmetic reasons.
The addition of PRP from the blood may make microneedling more effective. The liquid in the blood is plasma, while platelets are solid. Platelets help blood clot, vital for healing wounds and injuries. PRP is plasma in which the concentration of platelets is higher than that of other blood components.
The Procedure
The entire process typically takes about an hour, making it a convenient "lunchtime" procedure.
