Overview
PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma is used for skin rejuvenation in many different ways. In my practice I use it for pigmentation treatment, acne treatment, acne scar treatment, skin tightening, wrinkle treatment and face contouring. Currently I use a lot of variations of this wonderful natural, biological skin rejuvenation treatment.
What is PRP skin treatment?
PRP skin treatment involves injection of the patient’s own plasma containing platelets, for wrinkle treatment and for restoring youthful contours of the face. It is a modification to the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) known popularly as the “vampire facelift” or “Plasma facelift” and belongs to the field of regenerative medical science for the repair and rejuvenation of cellular wear and tear.
How does PRP repair wrinkles and folds?
PRP forms a layer in which new cells, blood capillaries and collagen can grow from surrounding tissue. It mimics the natural repair process of the body and corrects fine lines, wrinkles and sagging. All this is done by naturally triggering the production of new cells and collagen and renewing the existing aged and damaged skin.
What are dermal fillers?
Currently the most popular options for correction of wrinkles and sagging are Non Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid (NASHA) dermal fillers such as Juvederm, Restylane and Esthelis. These are available as sterile pre-filled syringes. When injected they lift the fold by adding volume to the underlying tissues. Effects of dermal fillers last for 6-18 months depending on the type of filler used. NASHA dermal fillers are non-allergenic, are FDA approved and have a proven safety profile.
How does PRP work as a natural dermal filler?
Platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) or PRP gel is now being used as wrinkle filler into the laugh lines, jowls, tear trough and cheek area by few expert Dermatologists who have already pioneered the PRP treatment. The PRFM filler requires about 30 minutes for each treatment, similar to a Juvederm or Restylane procedure.
What are the results of PRP facelift?
The results are visible instantly with complete lifting of the fold. There is some resorption over the next 2-7 days, with gradual improvement in the injected area over the next 3-5 weeks. Final correction is expected at 6-8 weeks and can last as long as 18 months. Better results are seen with a total of 2-3 treatments given 3-4 months apart. Patients can expect to see better results as they receive more treatments. With time, the results of PRP skin treatment get better and better.
Who should consider PRP skin treatment?
This procedure is suitable for any one who wishes complete skin rejuvenation with PRP i.e. reduce volume loss, wrinkles, folds, fine lines and textural changes of the skin. It will definitely appeal to those who are looking for a natural approach to restore youthful contours of the face and reducing wrinkles. Best results are achieved when PRFM fillers are started in early or mid 30’s as a preventive rather than reparative procedure.
Are there any side effects?
PRP skin rejuvenation and PRFM filler is made from the patient’s own blood, there is no risk of any reaction. Also, PRP and PRFM have natural antibacterial properties.
How much does PRP skin treatment in Mumbai cost?
Cost of PRP skin treatment in Mumbai at my clinic is Rs.12000 on wards per treatment depending on the extent of required treatment.
Can PRP skin treatment be combined with other cosmetic treatments?
This procedure can be combined with Botox injections, and laser rejuvenation, as well as facial surgery. This offers the benefit of instant results with long term regenerative effect. PRP treatment is very promising in facial restoration.
PRP skin treatment can also be combined with HIFU non-surgical facelift and Venus Freeze RF skin tightening.
Choose the best dermatologist in Mumbai for PRP skin treatment.
The most important factors for a good PRFM dermal filler or PRP skin treatment is the correct method of processing the patient’s blood and the quantity of the PRP or PRFM used for the treatment. I prefer to perform the processing of the patients blood myself at the time of the treatment and the quantity of PRP or PRFM used is nothing less than 8-10ml per treatment.
