WHAT IS PRP?

Platelet-rich plasma is just that; it is a volume of autologous plasma that has a platelet concentration above baseline. Normal platelet counts in blood range between 150,000/µl and 450,000/µl and average about 300,000/µl.

Because the scientific proof of bone and soft tissue healing enhancement has been shown using PRP with 1,000,000 platelets/µl, it is this concentration of platelets in a 5-ml volume of plasma which is the working definition of PRP today.

Lesser concentrations cannot be relied upon to enhance wound healing, and greater concentrations have not yet been shown to further enhance wound healing.

Because PRP is developed from autologous blood, it is inherently safe and is free from transmissible diseases such as HIV and hepatitis.

PRP has been effective in rejuvenation fields and aesthetic procedures in plastic surgery, bony defects, wound healing.

PRP injections are prepared by taking anywhere from one to a few tubes of your own blood and running it through a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. These activated platelets are then injected directly into your injured or diseased body tissue. This releases growth factors that stimulate and increase the number of reparative cells your body produces.

PRP benefits

• It’s 100% Natural!
  PRP uses your blood to plasma which the practitioner then injects into the desired areas, not chemicals. This means it’s the ideal procedure for anyone who feels worried about injecting foreign substances into their body.
• A Treatment for Hair Loss
  When your plasma is injected into the scalp, the growth factors in your blood cells help stimulate your hair growth cells to produce thicker hair over time.
• No Going Under the Knife
  Avoid invasive treatments like facelifts with PRP. It can get you the results you want in a short session without having to worry about an intensive procedure.
• Get Help with Acne Scarring
  It’s hard enough to go through acne without scarring as a constant reminder. PRP can contribute to your plasma to diminish the look of acne scars.
• Little to No risk
  Since PRP uses your plasma, there’s very little risk of side effects because the material comes from your body on top of the low-risk factor of the treatment as a whole.
• Increase Volume In Your Face
  The PRP process helps your body produce more collagen in the treated areas, naturally. This increase in collagen can help restore volume to areas that appear sunken.
• Recovery Time is Short
  There’s little to no recovery time associated with the PRP treatment. You may experience some redness in your face but this will dissipate and won’t hinder you from going about your daily life.
• Say Goodbye to Wrinkles and Fine Lines
  A fantastic benefit of the PRP treatment is that it can help significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This means you can get a more youthful look in a short period without going under the knife.
• Help Rejuvenate Tired Eyes
  If you’re tired of people telling you that you ‘look tired’ then PRP can help you get a more rejuvenated look. The increased collagen from PRP is perfect for adding volume to areas like under eye circles.
• The Effects are Lasting
  The last thing you want is results that only last for a short period. But people that get PRP treatments report having results that last for several years.
