What Is Platelet-Rich Plasma?
PRP injections are a treatment option for a variety of cosmetic concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, volume loss, acne scarring and hair loss. The treatment works by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which improves the overall quality and texture of the skin. Additionally, PRP therapy has been shown to encourage hair follicle growth and thickness, making it an excellent option for patients with thinning hair or bald spots.
During a PRP procedure, a small amount of blood is drawn from the arm or another suitable location and then processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the rest of the blood components. The resulting solution is then injected into the targeted area of the body, such as the face or scalp, to promote healing and rejuvenation.
The Science Behind PRP
PRP therapy utilises the natural healing properties of your blood's platelets. These tiny cell fragments are rich in cytokines, growth factors and more than 1100 proteins that play a crucial role in tissue repair. When concentrated and reinjected into specific areas, they can:
- Stimulate collagen and elastin production
- Enhance blood flow to treated areas
- Activate stem cells in hair follicles
- Accelerate tissue repair and cell turnover
