PRP THERAPY
Platelet rich plasma or PRP therapy has become widely popular in recent years. Made famous by the ‘Dracula facelift’, the treatment is also referred to as stem cell or plasma therapy, and utilises the body’s own regenerating, healing and rejuvenation abilities.
When a PRP injection is applied to the treatment area, the cells beneath the skin’s surface start to regenerate, allowing the damaged tissue to regrow and promote healing. The procedure is very safe, medically beneficial and fairly straightforward.
Today, RPR for hair loss and PRP for skin care are two very common applications, yielding fantastic and all-natural results. Many opt for PRP therapy to remedy skin issues and those around hair loss, as it is a non-surgical and non-invasive procedure which provides the desired results in a reasonable span of time.
How does the PRP Injection Process work?
A qualified medical practitioner will draw a small blood sample from your arm. The sample amount depends on where the PRP is to be injected. Next, your blood will be placed in a centrifuge which separates the red blood cells from the plasma. The plasma is then injected in the treatment area or target site using near-microscopic needles. The entire process can be completed in about 45 minutes.
Is it a painful procedure and what kind of results can I expect?
Whether you’re undergoing PRP for hair loss or PRP for skin care, platelet rich plasma therapy is a relatively painless procedure, although you can expect some discomfort and a tingling sensation due to the injections. This is perfectly normal as it’s a part of the healing process. Mild redness (erythema) may be observed after the procedure but it’s visible only for a few hours after the stem cell treatment.
PRP therapy provides the skin with an almost instant glow in the days following the procedure. Soon, new cell formation will begin with the body, regenerating damaged tissue to either heal the skin and make it younger look or generate the growth of new hair – depending on whether you’ve undergone PRP for skin care or PRP for hair loss.
In the next 30-90 days, you will consistently see improvements as your body produces new cells in the treatment site.
Client Treatment
The treatment provides an almost instant skin glow following the procedure and has helped individuals of all ages with:
More collagen production – ‘Vampire facial’ enhances the underlying quality of your skin through increased collagen production, which is vital for plump, smooth and young-looking skin.
After the tiny needles penetrate your skin’s upper layers, higher-quality collagen starts to grow within weeks, although you will notice your skin tightening right after the ‘PRP for skin care’ procedure.
As new cells start to form around the target area, you will see consistent improvement over the next 30-90 days.
Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles – As cellular turnover is improved via the PRP therapy for skin, new collagen and elastin start to form, eliminating fine lines and wrinkles on your face as your facial skin continues to tighten.
Tighter, firmer and younger-looking skin – Since collagen is essential for tighter and firmer looking skin, vampire facials can restore collagen and elastic levels in the skin to not only eliminate fine lines and wrinkles, but also make it plumper and fuller, making your skin tight, firm and glowing with youthful looks.
Improved moisture retention – When your skin’s upper layer is stronger and thicker, it helps to retain more moisture. This also makes the skin more receptive to moisturizers. PRP therapy for skin helps to unclog pores and, thus, enhance the effects of your moisturizer.
What are the benefits of PRP for hair loss?
PRP therapy for hair is a proven hair loss treatment which helps to regenerate new hair growth and make hair thicker overall. It’s a natural process for both men and women since it uses your own plasma and growth factors to target areas where hair is thinning. So, your hair follicles are fed nutrition from your own blood supply, so to speak. It’s an all-natural and non-invasive procedure.
Your practitioner will administer PRP in the area where there are damaged and/or thinning hair follicles to promote healthy re-growth. Despite the effectiveness of PRP for hair loss, many people often find themselves wondering: “Is PRP hair loss right for me?”
While your practitioner will assess if PRP therapy for hair is right for you, it is generally effective in nearly all men and women – particularly those who have lost shine, volume and radiance in their hair due to ageing, androgenic alopecia (male patterned baldness or female patterned hair loss) or have had a recent hair transplant but did not get the desired results.
PRP injections are, therefore, very effective at simulating new hair growth, even if you’ve already had a hair transplant.
How many treatments do I need for either process?
In most cases, a minimum of three treatments are required a year, although this varies from individual to individual. PRP for hair restoration requires more treatment compared to PRP for skin rejuvenation or restoration.
Skin rejuvenation treatments via PRP can take up to four sessions, each one being 4-8 weeks apart. However, if you need PRP treatment for acne scars, you may require just 2-4 treatments.
There’s no downtime required as such – you can walk straight out of the clinic after treatment and get back to your daily activities.
