PRP Treatment
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is fantastic treatment which involves our practice nurse, Karyn, injecting a concentration of a patient’s own platelets in order to improve skin texture and tone, refine wrinkles, reduce scars such as acne or stretch marks, as well as promote hair growth when injected into the scalp.
What are plasma and platelets ?
Plasma is the largest part of your blood, making up more than half of its overall content. It is composed largely of water and proteins, and is responsible for allowing your red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets to circulate through the body. Platelets are the blood cells that you have which cause blood clots when a blood vessel breaks and other necessary healing functions. Activating these Platelets is key in the body’s natural healing process.
How does PRP treatment work?
PRP injections tap into a patient’s own biological healing system to improve their skin or hair health by releasing growth factors and regenerative molecules.
The injections are prepared by taking a tube or two of your own blood and running it through a machine called a centrifuge in order to concentrate the platelets. These activated platelets are then injected into the desired skin area, releasing growth factors that increase collagen and elastin formation as well as cellular growth and skin remodeling.
