HOW DOES PRP® FACIAL REJUVENATION WORK? 

​

The PRP®, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, treatment has been used since the 1970s for the repair of soft tissue and joints. As the news of its effectiveness grew, experts started to apply the treatment for aesthetic medicine.

​

Platelet Rich Plasma therapy involves a high concentration of platelets being injected into the facial area. It has around 1,000,000 platelets per microlitre (μL), or at least twice the platelets in a native concentration of blood.

​

To create PRP®, a small amount of blood is taken from the patient using a proprietary tube. This gets put into centrifugation (spinning), so that the red cells and granulocytes are separated from the plasma. The PRP® treatment uses your own blood. The platelet concentrate and plasma that remains are then collected into a syringe, which is then used to treat the patient.

​

Then, the nurse will provide you with some numbing cream before the PRP® injections. Once you are numb, a needle is used to inject your plasma into the area of your body being treated.

​

We recommend Platelet Rich Plasma therapy to patients who are not ideal candidates for dermal fillers due to allergies or other sensitivities. When used for aesthetic purposes, Platelet Rich Plasma stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which works to tighten and tone the skin and improves the overall tone and texture of the skin.
