Benefits of the PRP or Platelet-Rich Plasma

Platelet-Rich plasma is a rejuvenation treatment which is currently booming because of the important benefits offered. Restores skin vitality, increases thickness and retrieves the elastin and collagen in the skin. But what exactly is PRP?

I might sound to some more facial Word vampir, a term that Kim Kardashian popularized by posting photos of himself on Instagram in which this treatment was applied. The photo with your face 'bloodied' caused enough controversy, but nothing to do with what looks like. This treatment uses the patient's own blood injected into the face with superficial micro-injections, but it is minimally invasive. To give you an idea, is similar to facial Mesotherapy, but injecting platelet instead of vitamins. You'd better see it in depth to understand it better.

PRP or platelet-rich plasma is made from the removal of a sample of the patient's blood, which is subjected to a treatment of spin, with the aim of obtaining the maximum number of platelets. The final solution is what is called a 'platelet-rich plasma'. The treatment consists of 3 phases: Phase 1: the specialist extracted blood from the patient: blood is drawn from the forearm, after disinfection of the area. Equal that an analysis of blood, the extraction has a duration of 5 to 10 min.

Phase 2: centrifugation of the blood sample: the spin of the extracted sample is made at 2800-3000 rpm for 9-10 minutes. The blood will be 'platelet-rich plasma'.

Phase 3: implementation of PRP: Although the injections depth depends on skin type and the pathology to be treated, typically that microinjections applied to intradermal level so that penetrate and stimulate epidermal cells.

Post-treatment: after performing the treatment the area will present inflammation and redness that will disappear to the few hours. If not, consult with the specialist. Recommended 3 sessions last for 6-12 months (every three months) and maintenance.

Treatment platelet-rich plasma is ideal for mature skin or skins young with acne marks or damaged by the Sun because it unifies, returns the luminosity, revitalizes and provides elasticity to the skin of the face. We managed to delay the effects of the passage of time, as well as being a chemical-free treatment and free of risks such as infections or allergic reactions. The results will be visible at 20-30 days of treatment and will have a duration of 1 year if we follow the above frequency.
