Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP for Skin)
There is an inherent desire in all of us to have a glowing, radiant skin that makes people turn their heads for that extra glance.A striking look that leaves a long-lasting impression, boosts confidence, gives us an edge over others in a world full of cut-throat competition.
Sadly, our hectic stressful lives leave us with no room to even pay little attention to ourselves.
We begin to neglect our skin and deprive it of the basic required nourishment.
Add to it factors such as medical conditions like pigmentation, effects of aging, exposure to pollution, overuse of over-the-counter products, etc take a heavy toll on the skin.
There is no need to feel depressed and get disheartened as it’s now easily possible to get that beautiful young look back with the help of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment.
How is PRP extracted?
For starters, dermatologists draw the patient’s own blood using a syringe. This blood undergoes centrifugation process in which red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets are separated from each other. The concentrated PRP is made using these platelets.
Purpose for PRP treatment
This treatment is widely and successfully practised in many parts of the world to treat signs of ageing like fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes, scars, skin-tone, hair loss, reducing inflammation caused by osteoarthritis, stretch marks and skin tightening/lifting.
Various types of PRP treatments at Derm-E-Care
There are two ways through which PRP is administered on a patient’s face: Micro-needling and Vampire facial.
Let’s understand the difference between the two.
➤ Microneedling
It is a procedure in which dermatologists prick facial skin using tiny needles on a roller device. The pricks lead to the production of collagen which plays an important role in treating age-spots, sagging skin, wrinkles, fine lines, etc. The collagen is then supplemented with PRP injections to boost the healing process. As a result, recovery is fast and long-lasting.
➤ Vampire Facial
It is a cream, prepared using the patient’s PRP, is applied and massaged on the face. The facial leaves the skin pink to reddish and has similar rejuvenating effects like micro-needling. In earlier times, dermatologists applied blood on patient’s faces instead of PRP thus the term “Vampire” facial came into existence.
Duration of treatment
The number of sittings and time-gap depend upon your skin texture. The dermatologist will guide you on the exact number.
