PRP utilizes your body’s own blood platelets to rejuvenate healthy skin without the need for surgery.

How does PRP Work

Platelets are a valuable part of your body’s blood. Platelets help decelerate bleeding in the event an individual is injured. Platelets also reconstruct blood vessels to keep individuals healthy. Skin and body tissue are revitalized and kept healthy by the special components contained in platelets. PRP functions by accumulating your own platelets and strategically injecting the collected platelets to specific regions on your skin. Over a period of time, the platelets function by rejuvenating the skin in the location of concern.

The procedure can be completed in less then 10 minutes. The process involves the physician taking a small volume of blood, and segregating the red blood cells from the platelet concentrate that is fixed into its own plasma. Since the PRP is prepared from the individual's own blood, the possibility of an allergic reaction or rejection is not a concern.

Platelet-rich plasma contains many more platelets then normally found in your blood. The concentration level of platelets and levels of growth may range from 5 to 10 times higher then typical levels.
