What is platelet-rich plasma?

Platelet rich plasma, commonly referred to as PRP, is a concentration of platelet rich fluid derived from a patient’s own blood. There are numerous benefits of PRP including accelerated tissue and skin healing, improvement in skin texture and tone, and wrinkle reduction. PRP injections have also been shown to be a vital tool in hair restoration. To collect PRP, a standard blood draw is performed first. The blood is placed in a machine called a centrifuge to separate the blood components from one another, achieving a distinct layer of platelet rich plasma that can then be used for injections or as a topical gliding agent during microneedling.

What are the benefits?

The indications for using PRP depend on the individual goals of each patient. The benefits of PRP range from improved skin texture and tone, to accelerated hair growth. PRP utilizes your own blood components to stimulate skin to increase collagen production, improve vascularity, and increase skin elasticity—all contributing to a more youthful appearance and improved skin health. When injected into areas of dense hair follicles, it has been shown to stimulate hair growth and help with thinning hair.

What are the various techniques available?

PRP can be performed as a stand-alone treatment or in combination with a number of treatments including facials, microneedling, and other injectable treatments.

The most common application of PRP in our Aesthetic center is for improvement of fine lines and wrinkles. It can be injected directly into the skin or used as a gliding agent topically with microneedling to penetrate the deeper layers of the face.

FAQs

How is PRP collected?

PRP is collected through a blood draw done in our office. A small needle will be used to collect a sample of your blood, which is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets and plasma from the red and white blood cells. The concentrated platelets, which are rich in growth factors, are what will be injected back into the skin.
