PRP Skin Rejuvenation

Plasma is a component of your blood that contains special “factors” or proteins that help your blood to clot. It also contains proteins that support cell growth. Researchers have produced PRP by isolating plasma from blood and concentrating it. When injected into damaged tissues, PRP injection is supposed to stimulate your body to grow new, healthy cells and promote healing.

Microneedling treatment, by itself, is already an effective treatment as collagen induction therapy. By creating tiny wounds in the skin of the treatment area, your body naturally responds by stimulating elastin and collagen production, which is essential for skin renewal. On the other hand, microneedling with PRP can amplify the results of microneedling alone and speeds up the healing process. This is due to PRP's use of stem cell science to enhance healing through its high concentration of growth factors.

PRP therapy serves as a non-surgical method of skin rejuvenation that uses your own blood to improve the appearance of facial tissue. PRP has been used in the treatment of several dermatological conditions such as acne, alopecia, and skin ulcers. It can also address other skin conditions such as melasma, hyperpigmentation, and burns, where it stimulates tissue repair and regeneration.
