What is PRP?
PRP is a facial rejuvenation treatment that uses its own blood to stimulate collagen production. This process helps to eliminate the fine lines, wrinkles, and folds. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy uses concentrated plasma that contains approximately 3 to 5 times the number of platelets found in normal circulating blood. In addition, it contains various growth factors and other bioactive proteins that help in the rejuvenation of the skin.
How does PRP procedure work?
Platelets are body cells that aid the tissue to heal and produce new cells. Dermatologists inject your own PRP into targeted areas of the skin. Thereafter, the collagen production increases, tissue regeneration increases. As a result, the skin becomes smooth and tight. PRP softens wrinkles and creates skin texture and tone that is smoother, clearer, and younger-looking.
