PRP on the face can stimulate collagen and elastin production which firms and tightens thinning skin, effectively smoothing wrinkles and fine lines. Because it can help boost collagen, it can also be a treatment used for improving overall skin texture and tone. PRP can be particularly good for people who have acne scarring or hyper-pigmentation.
PRP (platelet-rich plasma)
The platelet, a component of your own blood, has long been used and recognised for its accelerated wound healing properties for surgery and sports injuries. Today, it is widely popular for skin rejuvenation.
It is effective at improving the overall skin quality and skin texture and reducing fine lines.
Platelets are cells that are a part of your blood, and their role in the body is to promote the clotting and healing process. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrate of your own blood that contains high numbers of platelets. It can be placed or injected into a certain area to exploit the platelets function and therefore enhance wound healing and to help rejuvenate skin. Because it is a part of your own blood, it is free from transmissible diseases, and cannot cause hypersensitivity or allergic reactions. The process involves the withdrawal of blood in the usual manner, separating and concentrating the PRP from the whole blood, and then injection of the PRP into the treatment area.
Before explaining the practical uses of PRP, it is important to describe the biological basis of the technique to better understand how PRP works;
Platelets are cells in blood that are responsible for helping to clot the blood, and for the synthesis and release of growth factors. When there is an injury to the skin (and blood vessel walls), proteins are released that cause circulating platelets to bind to the area and help create a blood clot to stop the bleeding. It is the clotting process that activates these platelets, and causes them to secrete growth factors to help repair the damaged area.
