PRP is created from a small sample of your blood taken through a standard blood draw. That blood is placed in a device called a centrifuge that spins until the solid components separate from the liquid plasma. This makes it easier for your practitioner to isolate the platelets and return them to the cleared plasma, creating a powerful concentration of platelets.
Platelets are responsible for your blood’s clotting properties. They’re also rich in proteins called growth factors, which promote tissue regeneration. Research shows that PRP also reduces inflammation in the treatment area.
One popular use for PRP is in medical aesthetics. Practitioners inject small amounts of PRP into areas of the face where additional volume is desired. While the injected PRP can create minimal volume improvements, the true benefit is in the ability of PRP to promote new tissue growth.
Your body responds to PRP injections by quickly developing new collagen. This new tissue serves to smooth and tighten skin, reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Injecting PRP into the scalp can promote new hair growth and treat thinning hair.
PRP injections are also used in a number of medical applications, including:
Your practitioner can explore your treatment goals and advise you on whether PRP injections can help.
All injectable treatments should be performed by a practitioner with a strong medical background. Placing injections in the wrong area can cause nerve damage and a number of other potential complications.
In the hands of a skilled provider, PRP treatments are safe and effective. At Injectologie, injectable treatments are performed using the highest safety standards and with a thorough understanding of human anatomy.
Injectologie also offers a range of biostimulators. These substances stimulate new tissue growth near the injection site.
