Overview
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that utilizes a concentration of platelets derived from the patient’s own blood to promote healing and rejuvenation. The process begins with a small blood draw, followed by centrifugation to separate the PRP from other blood components.
Procedure Description
How It Works
The PRP, rich in growth factors and proteins, is injected into targeted areas of the skin or scalp. In facial rejuvenation, PRP stimulates collagen and elastin production, enhancing skin texture, reducing wrinkles, and improving overall skin tone. In hair restoration, PRP can help stimulate hair growth in thinning areas.Duration and Comfort
The procedure takes about 30-60 minutes and involves minimal downtime. Patients may experience mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites, but these effects typically resolve quickly.
Benefits
Rejuvenation Effects
Scientific studies have shown that PRP stimulates the skin’s stem cells responsible for collagen and elastin production, leading to increased dermal thickness and reduced fine lines. The skin appears more youthful and radiant, with imperfections such as scars and spots diminishing. Patients often notice an immediate glow following treatment.Treatment Plan
For optimal results, it is recommended to undergo at least 3 facial PRP treatments per year, with 4 to 6 weeks between sessions.
Ideal Candidates
PRP treatment is ideal for individuals who:
Experience premature wrinkles
Have high levels of sun damage
Have tried other methods for skin improvement without success
However, those with a history of blood disorders, including coagulation issues, should consult with Dr. Wilson to determine if PRP therapy is appropriate or if it can be combined with other treatments for better outcomes.
Natural Revitalization
PRP therapy uses your body’s own growth factors to achieve desired results, making it a natural option for skin revitalization. The introduction of PRP during the procedure stimulates the natural healing process, giving your skin a healthier and more supple appearance while retaining moisture. Collagen growth continues for weeks after treatment, with results lasting up to 18 months.
