Overview
Many people having skin and hair issues are searching for natural treatments that give perfect results. PRP treatment is one such treatment that is extremely natural and gives excellent results in each person.
PRP skin treatment can give you glowing skin, even skin tone and tighter pores. It can also repair acne scars, improve wrinkles and reduce skin pigmentation.
While PRP hair treatment can be used to control hair fall, promote re-growth and reverse baldness.
What is PRP skin treatment?
PRP therapy for skin involves blood collection from your arm. The blood is processed to get growth factors from your own body. This is called ‘Autologous Growth Factor Concentrate’. Our growth factors heal our body.
We inject the PRP or growth factors in areas of skin loss. This makes your skin healthy and also results in skin regrowth.
PRP Skin Treatment Before and After Results
What is the procedure of PRP treatment for skin?
PRP treatment for skin loss is a 3-step medical procedure. In the beginning, blood is drawn in a tube. This step is the same as when you have a blood test. The tube of blood is processed by spinning it in a centrifuge machine.
The centrifuge separates the blood into platelet poor plasma, red blood cells and platelet rich plasma. PRP is the short form for ‘platelet rich plasma’. In the final step, the PRP is separated and then we use it for skin repair.
Platelet rich plasma therapy is completely painless as they are done under anaesthesia. The complete PRP procedure takes about 1 hour. While the PRP injections take 15 minutes.
How does PRP skin treatment work?
PRP injection stimulates the skin repair process. It stimulates collagen repair. And it even increases collagen production in the skin.
The effect of PRP depends on the plasma and platelets. The right concentration of platelets is needed for positive results.
PRP also calms down melanocyte hyper-activity and reduces skin pigmentation.
The main advantage of PRP treatment is that it is safe and effective. PRP therapy uses autologous growth factors and stem cells to treat your skin problems. The second advantage is that it is completely painless.
What are the benefits of PRP skin treatment?
Skin Glow and Rejuvenation
PRP causes collagen and elastin repair. It also increases skin hydration, repairs fine lines, reduces pore size and improves your skin texture. This results in a refined, glowing complexion and natural facial rejuvenation.
Anti Aging
Platelet rich plasma, PRP treatment can be injected in deep wrinkles similar to a dermal filler. It intensively stimulates wrinkle repair and reduces the depth of skin wrinkles. PRP can effectively reverse the signs of aging from your facial skin.
Acne Scar Repair
When PRP is injected in to acne scars, it leads to scar repair. The scars become shallower and less visible with each treatment.
Pigmentation Reduction
PRP skin treatment can reduce stubborn and un responsive skin pigmentation.
Trauma Scar Removal
This treatment can also be used for the repair of accident scars and post surgery marks through collagen production in wound healing.
Stretch Mark Removal
PRP can be injected directly into stretch marks along with microneedling or CO2 fractional laser treatment.
What is a Vampire Facial or Vampire facelift?
PRP facial or vampire facial is a popular term in Hollywood. It was first made famous when Kim Kardashian West shared her Vampire Facial photos on Instagram
The process begins with a drawing of whole blood and then using a centrifuge to separate out the red cells. The remaining platelet-rich plasma is used in the facial process.
Simply put, a PRP facial uses your own blood’s platelets and plasma on your face. Your own PRP are slathered onto your face and then micro-needled into the skin during a short procedure.
Once the plasma is in, it begins to do its work of rejuvenating your entire face, tightening wrinkles and smoothing the skin. It does this by stimulating collagen growth.
Some people choose to have just one facial while others undergo a regular PRP sessions. The more often you have a PRP facial, the longer the results of each treatment will last, which is about three to six months.
What are the benefits of a Vampire facial and why are they so popular?
- They truly transform the look of your skin.
- There are no side effects because the plasma comes from your own body.
- Pain and discomfort is minimal.
- The process is quick and considered a ‘lunch time procedure’.
