Why go for Platelet Rich Plasma treatment?

Skin that appears wrinkled, loose, dark or sagging can be rejuvenated and remodelled with Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy. Hair growth can be stimulated to decrease hair loss and baldness, even if it is due to genetic reasons.

PRP therapy is a fantastic option for anyone looking to reduce wrinkles, fine lines and hair loss while enhancing overall skin health. Here’s what you can expect from this innovative treatment:

• Safe and Effective: PRP therapy uses your body’s own platelets, making it a safe choice for rejuvenating your skin.
• Restores Volume and Improves Texture: It helps restore and enhance skin volume by stimulating and increasing collagen production, leading to a smoother texture and more even tone.
• Youthful Glow: PRP therapy promotes a youthful, rejuvenated appearance that can boost your confidence.
• Boosts Skin Health: The therapy increases the proliferation of dermal fibroblasts, which play a crucial role in skin structure and healing.

If you’re looking for a natural way to revitalise your skin, PRP therapy might be the perfect solution for you!

What is PRP treatment?

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) treatment is a safe and hypoallergenic procedure that uses your own blood, ensuring a natural approach to rejuvenation. The process is quick and minimally invasive, with no need for skin incisions, and the results can be long-lasting. While some swelling may occur for up to three hours post-treatment, there’s no downtime required, allowing you to return to your regular activities almost immediately.

How does it work?

Platelet rich plasma acts as a natural growth stimulant.

Platelets are packed with substances known as Growth Factors (GFs), which are essential for activating and rejuvenating cells in the body. When these growth factors are released from the platelets, they stimulate the proliferation of fibroblasts—cells responsible for producing collagen—and promote the formation of new capillaries. This process helps rejuvenate the skin, enhancing its overall appearance and vitality.

Areas we can treat with Platelet rich plasma:

• Hair loss
• Wrinkles
• Eye bags / Dark under-eye circles
• Acne marks
• Scars
• Loose skin
• Nasolabial grooves

What is dermal fibroblasts?

Dermal fibroblasts are specialised cells located in the dermis, the inner layer of the skin. They play a crucial role in maintaining skin structure and function by producing collagen, elastin, and other essential components of the extracellular matrix.

What are the benefits of PRP stimulating dermal fibroblasts?

Here are some key points about dermal fibroblasts:

1. Collagen Production: Fibroblasts are primarily responsible for synthesising collagen, which gives the skin strength and support. As we age, the activity of fibroblasts declines, leading to decreased collagen production and the development of wrinkles and sagging skin.
2. Wound Healing: These cells are vital in the wound healing process. When the skin is injured, fibroblasts migrate to the site of injury and help form new tissue, playing a significant role in tissue repair and regeneration.
3. Elasticity and Resilience: In addition to collagen, fibroblasts produce elastin, a protein that helps the skin maintain its elasticity and firmness.
4. Cytokine Production: Dermal fibroblasts also produce various cytokines and growth factors that are important for regulating inflammation and facilitating healing.

Overall, dermal fibroblasts are essential for healthy skin, contributing to its structure, resilience, and ability to heal from injuries. Their activity is often a focus in aesthetic treatments aimed at rejuvenating the skin.

How many follow-up treatments do we recommend?

We generally recommend starting with minimum of 4 treatments to achieve the best results, depending on the area and your specific needs. Our experienced Doctors or somatologists will go over your treatment plan, including the recommended number of sessions and ideal timing, to help you achieve the best results.
