WHAT IS PRP?
PRP stands for platelet rich plasma, a liquid component of the blood. PRP therapy involves the use of this special substance and is rapidly gaining popularity across the world as a revolutionary yet simple way to treat a variety of conditions. By using the body’s own platelet concentration in the therapy, practitioners can replicate a variety of the body’s natural healing effects.
PRP enhances wound healing and encourages rapid cell repair and growth. The exact process for getting the required plasma involves spinning a small blood sample in a centrifuge machine at speeds of approximately 2000 rpm. This separates the platelets from the other blood components ready for injecting into the desired area.
WHAT IS A PRP TREATMENT?
DISCOMFORT LEVEL: MINIMAL
| TIME TAKEN: 30 MINS
You may have heard of various names for PRP therapy. Examples are Dracula facelift, vampire treatment, and many combinations of these words. They mostly mean the same thing; The injection of the platelet rich plasma into the areas where it can be most useful. The process starts once a blood sample has been taken and is spun in the centrifuge to ready it for use. The liquid is injected directly in specific areas. The surrounding cells begin to proliferate and do their magic to rejuvenate the local area. As time goes on collagen production will increase, leading to skin rejuvenation.
NATURAL AND SAFE TREATMENT
The magical liquid is used to help with the following aesthetic complaints:
- Reduce wrinkles
- Plump up sagging skin
- Reduction of deep creases
- Improved complexion
- Diminish acne scars and other scarring
One of the primary benefits of the treatment is the fact it is a natural and safe approach since the treatment uses the patient's own re-injected blood platelets. There is a very low risk of allergic reactions or adverse side effects. This makes it an appealing option for those who may be hesitant to undergo more invasive procedures or use synthetic substances in their bodies.
LONG LASTING RESULTS
While individual results may vary, many patients experience long-lasting improvements in their treated areas. For example, those using PRP therapy for cosmetic purposes may notice a gradual improvement in their skin's appearance over several weeks, with results lasting up to a year or longer. Similarly, patients receiving PRP injections for joint pain or sports injuries often report reduced pain and increased function that can last for months or even years.
THE VERSATILE APPLI CATIONS OF PLATELET RICH PLASMA
Aside from aesthetic medicine uses the treatment has a wide range of applications and can be used to treat various conditions, including:
Joint pain and arthritis
PRP injections can help reduce inflammation, promote joint healing, and alleviate pain associated with osteoarthritis and other joint conditions. All tissue types could potentially benefit, including cartilage and tendons, even bone.
Hair restoration
The use of PRP has shown promising results in stimulating hair growth in the scalp for those suffering from androgenic alopecia, commonly known as male or female pattern baldness. The idea is that when PRP is injected close to damaged hair follicles they receive the benefit, as will the healthy existing follicles. As well as for hair loss, for optimum results PRP is often offered after a hair transplant to stimulate the newly transplanted hair follicles and promote stem cell production and hair growth within the scalp.
Sports injuries
Athletes can benefit from PRP treatment to expedite the healing process of injuries, such as sprains, strains, and tendonitis. Ligament and muscle tissue is thought to be regenerated through platelet rich plasma.
Dental issues
