PRP Regeneration

PRP Skin Regeneration Therapy, a type of regenerative medicine with the patient’s own blood, uses components called platelets in the blood to rejuvenate the skin. Based on an innate wound-healing ability, the therapy is performed by injecting components collected from the blood. Platelets contain substances called growth factors that activate and rejuvenate cells in the body. The growth factors, when released, induce the production of collagen and generation of new capillaries to rejuvenate the skin.

Platelets play an important role in wound healing. They provide initial Hemostasis and release mediators to help modulate the inflammatory response and many of the cellular functions involved in healing of a wound. Contained in the alpha granules of platelets are multiple growth factors. Growth factors are proteins that impart particular biochemical messages to specific target cells through precise membrane receptors. Growth factors possess paracrine related properties which are stimulatory for mitogenic activities, cellular differentiation, protein transcription, chemotaxis, angiogenesis, and collagenase activities.

The treatment of PRP is relatively simple and can be completed within an hour. A small amount of blood is taken from the patient (10-20 ml) in a specifically prepared test tube. The doctor immediately places the blood into a centrifuge for separation, which takes approximately 8 minutes. Once the Platelet Rich Plasma is separated, it is then transferred to a syringe for injection. Since the PRP is a thin serum, it is able to be placed in a narrow needle to reduce the pain of injection. It is then injected into the areas of concern to begin the regeneration process. It can be administered to as many areas as desired.

How it Works

Injection Component
The aged skin has less collagen, low elasticity, a reduced amount of hyaluronic acid, and low ability to retain moisture.

Release of Growth Factors from Platelet Component [PRP]
Cell growth is activated and collagen is produced.

Regeneration & Rejuvenation of Skin Tissue
Collagen is produced and skin elasticity is improved.
The ability to retain moisture is restored.
