Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)

PLATELET-RICH PLASMA FACIAL PRP

PRP Facial treatment stimulates the production of both collagen and elastin giving your skin a healthier, brighter, and glowing appearance. This is a rejuvenation therapy that concentrates the cells found in your own blood that stimulate regeneration in your skin.

In fact, platelets play an important role in healing by releasing growth factors and stimulating a cascade of benefits ranging from tissue repair to increased collagen and elastin production.

An ideal treatment for those looking for a natural approach to skin health that continues improving with time. In essence, PRP injection therapy can work wonders for your skin.

Rich Plasma Therapy is a non-surgical treatment that utilizes your own body’s healing abilities to stimulate skin and follicle recovery. It is a natural treatment that uses the platelets from your own blood. These activated platelets secrete and release at least 7 different growth factors which enhance the natural healing process of the skin and hair follicles.

PRP Treatment procedure

During a PRP Therapy treatment, a small amount of blood is drawn from you into a sterile tube in the exact same manner as a standard blood test. The tube containing your blood is placed into a centrifuge and spun to separate the plasma and platelets from the other blood components.
After a few minutes, the PRP layer is removed from the same tube and re-introduced into the body at the site to be treated. Using a small sterile needle or microneedling pen, your practitioner will inject the PRP in and around the desired site. The production of collagen induced by the PRP will brighten, rejuvenate and rehydrate the skin even after the first treatment. A course of 3-4 treatments are recommended to see the full effects of this pioneering technique.

PRP FACIAL EFFECT

The positive effect of PRP are manifold as this treatment can improve the skin from the inside out:

INCREASE COLLAGEN PRODUCTION

As we age, the body produces less and less collagen and can leave the skin looking dull and wrinkled.

Nar London PRP Facial stimulates collagen production in your face by injecting growth factors into your skin. By combining PRP with Mesotherapy the skin can produce even stronger, and healthier collagen.

REDUCE FINE LINES AND WRINKLES

The PRP facial helps the formation of new skin cells, collagen, and elastin. As a result, fine lines and wrinkles are reduced as your skin tightens naturally in response to the injury induced by the procedure, and further diminish through the production of additional collagen.

TIGHTER FIRMER SKIN

As you know, collagen is essential to achieving tight and firm skin. As we get older, the skin on the face ineluctably begins to sag, and lose volume. PRP Facial helps to make your skin plump and provides it with youthful suppleness.

How does PRP therapy work?

In essence, platelets are the part of the blood associated with the healing of wounds and repairing damaged cells and tissue. Thus, these powerful cells separate from the rest of the blood for a concentrated formula of platelets and other growth factors. Hence when injected they trigger the regeneration of skin cells and the production of collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin feels younger, firmer, and more supple.

What Can I Expect from PRP treatment?

After the blood is drawn and processed to separate the platelet-rich plasma, the PRP is then injected back into the targeted areas using the painless U225 mesogun. The process takes less than an hour and involves none or very little discomfort.

There is no downtime and recovery from PRP injections is immediate and most patients continue on with their day after the treatment. Patients may experience redness or pinprick bleeding at the injection site.

Furthermore, the results from our PRP injection are usually increased hydration and more even skin tone will start to appear at about three to four weeks after treatment.

Also, an improvement in volume is more noticeable around four to six weeks and continues for several months as natural collagen regenerates.

We recommend having two more treatments spaced four to eight weeks apart to achieve optimal results in skin regeneration.

Most people can have PRP treatment especially if you are looking to rejuvenate your skin or tackle hair loss.

Indeed, PRP therapy can be an excellent skin rejuvenation treatment for fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, acne scars, and loss of volume.

Usually, within a week of treatment, many patients notice improved hydration in the skin. Changes such as improved skin volume and structure generally take effect within 4-6 weeks and improvements can continue for up to 90 days. We do recommend a maintenance treatment once or twice a year to maintain results.

Differences of PRP from Cosmetic Fillers

Most people consider that PRP is a “natural” cosmetic filler that can be a substitute for traditional fillers. However, this is not the case.

Actually, cosmetic fillers, which are most commonly hyaluronic acid fillers, have a viscosity and longevity that PRP does not have. Thus, while PRP can enhance the volume of the fatty layer below the skin, it cannot be used to add volume to treat hollow areas or age-related facial bone volume loss. Therefore, we often use hyaluronic acid fillers for volume correction and use PRP for skin quality improvement. Then, choose PRP for natural skin improvement and fillers to tackle loss of volume.
