The common side effects of PRP treatment are infection, bruising, and pain, which are mostly temporary and will be improved within a few days. Smoking and alcohol consumption will decrease the PRP results because fewer stem cells will be released. Using anti-inflammatory medications will decrease the inflammatory response, and hence, have fewer results.
PRP therapy is a highly effective method for the treatment of wrinkles, aging signs, acne scars, stretch marks, and most importantly hair loss, especially for women. This is a safe treatment method for all skin types and tones.
PRP can be absorbed by the skin through multiple microscopic wounds induced via the microneedling procedure or through injection into the folds or scalp.
Micro-needling is a minimally invasive procedure for rejuvenating the skin using a device with many fine needles, which induce tiny punctures in the superficial layer of the skin and then stimulate Collagen and Elastin synthesis. The platelets in PRP secrete many factors, including fibroblast growth factors, vascular endothelial growth factors, and many other growth factors, which have a significant role in the formation of new vessels, collagen, elastin, and then skin rejuvenation.
Improvement in skin texture is noticeable within 3 weeks, and full results require 3 months. Up to 3 treatments can be done within a 3-4 weeks span. Advanced wrinkling and severe scarring may not respond completely to PRP treatment. Hence, the combination of PRP with other treatments such as Botox and Filler injections can be done to achieve better results.
Multiple treatment sessions may be performed for hair growth depending on the type of hair loss.
Touch-up treatments twice a year will maintain the results.
Our blood contains Plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells (Leukocytes), Platelets, and many other components.
PRP is some amount of Plasma that concentrates on platelets. PRP or Plasma Rich Platelets is prepared by centrifuging whole blood to make separation of blood components from the plasma which is rich in platelets. The blood components are deposited in the bottom of the PRP tube and the plasma rich in platelets collects on the top of the tube.
The use of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), which is a form of bio-stimulator, is a safe rejuvenation technique that creates a long-lasting rejuvenating effect with natural-looking results.
Also, PRP can be used for the treatment of hair loss, especially in telogen effluvium, mild hair loss, or early stages of female or male pattern baldness.
The extraction of PRP from the blood requires the following 3 easy steps:
- Drawn the blood from the vein.
- Separate the plasma containing Rich Platelets from other components of the blood by centrifuge.
- Drawn the PRP from the PRP tube.
The concentration of platelets in PRP is at least 5-fold the concentration of platelets in the entire blood.
