Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a product with great advantages and numerous uses. Among its current indications is the treatment of alopecia and skin aging.
One of its main advantages is that it is a product that is obtained from the patient himself, so it does not cause allergy or rejection problems. In addition, it does not require prior tests, only the dermatological assessment of the patient (medical history and physical examination with clinical imaging).
PRP is plasma with many more platelets than is typically found in the blood. The concentration of platelets (and thus the concentration of growth factors) may be 5 to 10 times higher (or richer) than normal.
To develop a PRP preparation, blood must first be drawn from a patient. Platelets separate from other blood cells and their concentration increases during a process called centrifugation. The increased platelet concentration then combines with the remaining blood.
Although it is not exactly clear how PRP works, laboratory studies have shown that increasing the concentration of the growth factors in PRP can potentially speed up the healing process.
To speed up healing, the injury site is treated with the PRP preparation. This can be done in one of two ways:
– Increases collagen, a protein that enhances cell regeneration and promotes the repair of spots, marks and scars, expression lines, among others. In fact, collagen is well known when it comes to preventing and slowing down the appearance of wrinkles.
– Fight cellulite, one of the concerns of many women. Thanks to the regeneration of tissues and the increase in blood supply provided by the PRP treatment, you can see this condition greatly diminished.
– Eliminates sagging skin. Above all, platelet-rich plasma can help tone your muscles and restore the firmness that you may have lost over the years.
– Promotes the production of elastin, a substance indicated to preserve the elasticity of the skin and reduce the appearance of folds. Thus, it can be ideal for faces that have lost tone.
