Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a medical treatment of cell regeneration and anti-aging, consisting of the use of the patient’s own plasma that leads to the fibroblasts and collagen’s production. Platelet concentrate contains huge reserves of proteins and growth factors that are of vital importance to initiate and accelerate the regeneration of the skin, reorganizing all types of damaged tissues acting on each cell and its respective cellular hue.
The first step of the procedure is to take the patient´s blood sample and obtain the plasma by centrifuging the sample to separate the platelets, these platelet cells are the ones to be reinserted through micro needles, into the areas to be treated; subsequently they begin to release growth factors, responsible for the recruitment of stem cells, responsible of cell´s bio-regeneration.
The application of platelet concentrate is also very useful in the following cases:
- Decreases flaccidity of the face.
- Attenuates expression lines and stains.
- Hydration of the skin.
- In people with deficit in the healing process as diabetics.
- Regeneration of ulcerated or bedsore skin.
- Scarring of wounds and bone tissue.
- Hair Loss or Alopecia.
Are there risks to the patient?
No, since the origin of the plasma is autologous, that is, it is extracted from the patient’s own blood structures, the risks of transmission of infectious diseases or rejection or allergy phenomena are excluded.
In itself this treatment works by stopping the deterioration of tissues and skin, caused by the passage of time. One of the main advantages of this treatment is that the rejuvenation is deep and durable, acting from the cells, which is reflected on the outside.
That is why this procedure is being used as a natural and excellent method to rejuvenate and renew the skin, and of course without adverse reactions.
