PRP Platelet Rich Plasma
PRP Platelet Rich Plasma
We offer professional consultations for Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) treatments. This procedure involves using components from your own blood, which are processed and then re-introduced into the skin.
In a clinical setting, this method is explored to help support the appearance of smoother, hydrated skin. It is also often considered as an option for addressing concerns such as skin texture and tone.
As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects, such as temporary bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection sites. These will be thoroughly discussed with you during your consultation.
A comprehensive medical consultation is required to assess your individual suitability for this treatment and to determine if it aligns with your specific goals.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated sample of your own blood plasma containing a high level of healing platelets and growth factors, which is injected into injured or damaged tissues to stimulate recovery.
What is PRP?
Blood components: Blood contains red cells, white cells, plasma, and platelets. The platelets: While known for clotting blood, platelets also release growth factors that trigger cell growth and repair. The concentration: PRP contains significantly higher concentrations of platelets (often 5 to 10 times normal levels) than standard blood.
How the Procedure Works The blood draw:
- A clinician draws a small amount of blood from your arm.
- The separation: The blood goes into a machine called a centrifuge that spins rapidly to separate red and white blood cells from the platelets and plasma.
- The injection: The concentrated platelet-rich plasma is extracted and injected directly into the target area
Common Uses
- Joint arthritis: Frequently used for mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis to reduce pain and improve function.
- Tendon and ligament injuries: Used for chronic conditions like tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy, or plantar fasciitis.
- hair loss: Explored in dermatology for skin rejuvenation and stimulating hair growth.
