Platelet Rich Plasma Cell Therapy
Your blood is made of many rich components like liquid plasma, red and white cells as well as platelets. These Platelets help our blood clot and contain a protein called growth factors that are important to help injuries heal. Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP is blood plasma which contains 3 to 5 times the number of platelets found in normal blood that circulated in your body.
What is Platelet Rich Plasma Cellular Therapy?
PRP Treatment is a facial rejuvenation therapy which uses your own plasma to stimulate the production of collagen and migration of cells causing the elimination of wrinkles, skin folds and pores. This is a minimally invasive treatment which has minimum risk factors and can be used to treat skin on any area of the body without side-effects. This is the best treatment for people who don’t want to opt for injecting fillers.
At The Skin Clinic, we use PRP to reduce the loss of volume in the face, hands and neck, as well as fill out wrinkles and improve acne scarring and stretch marks.
How does PRP work in rejuvenating the skin?
Just like a regular blood test, about 10ml to 20ml blood (based on requirement) is extracted and then spun in a centrifuge machine for around 10 minutes. The platelet-rich plasma from your body is then injected into specific areas or affected areas of the skin. This forms an environment that promotes collagen and tissue regeneration, making your skin smooth and toned. PRP treatment is a very simple safe procedure which is completed within 20 minutes.
Why choose PRP treatment?
- PRP is a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment.
- The entire procedure will take less than 30 minutes. As the body begins to produce collagen, results are observed within the first few weeks after the treatment. The skin appearance continues to improve in the following weeks.
- Although the procedure is quick and painless, the result is long-lasting. For best results, we recommend at least 3 sessions after which the benefits are visible up to 1.5 years or more.
- PRP is a natural treatment because your body produces the ingredients necessary to rejuvenate your skin. Since the blood is extracted from your body, there is a minimum possibility of infections, allergies or rejection of treatment.
