Platelet-Rich Plasma

What is Platelet-Rich Plasma?

Platelet-Rich Plasma is a form of regenerative medicine and an injectable utilizing the client’s platelets. Plasma is a component of your blood containing proteins which help your blood to clot and support cell growth. PRP is produced by isolating the plasma from your blood and concentrating it.

How does Platelet-Rich Plasma work?

Prior to the treatment, about 10-30mL of your blood will be withdrawn and centrifuged for 8 to 10 minutes. Once centrifuged, the cells would’ve separated enough to allow the rich platelet concentrate, allowing the platelets to be separated from the rest of the collected fluid.

When Platelet-Rich Plasma is injected into damaged tissues, your body is stimulated to grow new, healthy cells and in turn, promote healing. Since the prepared Plasma is more concentrated, it is thought that injected PRP will help to heal your injured areas much faster, including hair follicles, scarred areas, joints and more!

While popular among athletes, Plasma is also used to stimulate the production of fibroblast cells, which are responsible for collagen creation. The results? Thickening and tightening of your skin, smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines. Platelet-Rich Plasma treatments are also amazing for improving your overall skin texture and tone, making them ideal for rosacea or acne treatment
