PRP and PPP replacement is plasma rich protein and plasma poor protein treatments for aging skin, wrinkles, collagen production, hair growth, stretch marks and wound healing.

Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP is considered to be one of the more promising skin rejuvenation treatments of the future. What sets this therapy apart from the existing rejuvenation treatments is the fact that this treatment uses the body’s inherent healing mechanism for revitalising and boosting the collagen and elastin production in the skin and other tissues. PRP therapy is commonly used in sports injuries and chronic non healing wounds and is paving the way for no incision, all natural face, hand and rejuvenation.

How it can help your skin

PRP skin rejuvenation helps tighten open pores, eradicate fine lines, diminish sagging and restores youthful contours. Just a single treatment can take several years off the face, hands and virtually any other area that you wish to restore. The effect is completely natural and is permanent.

The biology behind it

The principle behind this treatment is that the platelets present in our blood are capable of releasing numerous growth factors which are responsible for healing and tissue regeneration. So if these platelets are concentrated and injected into aging skin they result in new collagen formation and therefore plumping and tightening of skin.

The procedure

The treatment begins with collection of venous blood (similar to when you go to have a blood test). The amount of blood collected will depend on the extent of area to be covered. An anaesthetic cream may then be applied to the areas to be treated. The blood sample is then processed. The PRP is extracted, activated and injected painlessly into the concerned areas with a very fine needle.

The practical applications

1. Hair loss- PRP provides abundant growth factors to the germinative cells of the hair thus increasing neovascularization and promoting hair growth. It increases the anlagen phase of hair growth therefore reduces hair fall and increases the life cycle of hair.
2. Erectile Dysfunction- PRP injection directly into the penile shaft (after application of topical anesthetic) promotes the growth of new tissue. The procedure can help you have better, stronger and longer lasting erections. Because results can vary from patient to patient, the procedure may need to be repeated for optimal results.
3. Skin rejuvenation - PRP increases skin elasticity by repairing the Sun-damaged dermis. PRP  in 3 sessions have shown significant improvement in face and neck skin
4. Stretch marks-wound healing properties of PRP helps to repair the dermis of stretch marks. PRP plus in combination with fractional radio frequency can help improve the stretch marks significantly.
5. Treatment of nasolabial folds, glabellar lines, marionette lines- Plasma fillers are the most natural way to treat facial lines and folds. If treated along with PRP it has long lasting improvement in the most natural way.
6. Scars and contour deformities- Plasma Fillers are helpful in improving acne scars, old scars and contour defects of the face without risks of lumpiness etc

The result

The long term effect is taught, plump, youthful skin and restored contours. The collagen that is regenerated is permanent but because aging is a dynamic and continuous process, the sessions may require yearly repetition. Thus, Platelet Rich plasma or PRP treatment is a completely safe and natural treatment for skin and hair rejuvenation.
