PRP therapy has been endorsed by experts and numerous celebrities and athletes. It’s an exciting, non-surgical and natural treatment that uses your own healing abilities to stimulate collagen production in the skin. In the media, the treatments have been coined as the vampire facial because of the use of blood.
The production of collagen-induced by PRP, brightens, rehydrates and rejuvenates after the first treatment, although a course is normally recommended. The procedure overall improves the general health of your skin.
PRP therapy has efficiently been used in neurosurgery, oral surgery, cosmetic and plastic surgery, orthopaedics and sports medicine, treating people for various conditions. The treatment has little to no side effects and involves little to no pain.
The PRP procedure
– PRP is prepared from an extract of your own blood.
– PRP treatment will commonly last between 30 minutes and 60 minutes
– To do this, 30 – 60 ml of blood is drawn from your arm
– The blood is then placed in a centrifuge. The centrifuge spins and separates the platelets from the rest of the blood components
– 3 – 6 ml of platelet-rich plasma will then be extracted
– The concentrated and growth factor-concentrated platelets are injected into the scalp via micro injections
