Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy
What are PRP injections?
PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections are a form of regenerative medicine. The patient is injected with a concentration of platelets from their own blood to promote collagen and elastin production. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections as a stand-alone treatment for the face stimulates new collagen, enhances microcirculation and regrowth of new healthy skin.
The activated platelets in PRP release growth factors that stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, and reparative cells. They also have hydrating properties that can help create the anti-aging process. Essentially, PRP facials hijack your body’s natural healing processes to rejuvenate your face.
PRP is often done as a facial with micro needling or specifically injected under the eyes to combat dark circles. It can also be used to stimulate hair growth.
What are the benefits to PRP Injections?
· PRP creates new blood vessels in the skin, bringing in a fresh supply of nutrients to give your skin a healthy glow. These nutrients will also help clear away toxins, accumulated fluids, and excess pigmentation or melanin.
· PRP improves the skin’s metabolism so that dead skin cells are removed faster. You may also notice smoother skin due to unwanted fat cells burning away.
· When PRP is injected under the eyes, it repairs the collagen and elastin layer so that the skin regains elasticity. PRP allows the skin in the under-eye region to plump up and refill the hollows under the eyes.
