Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is an autologous concentrated preparation of platelets and the associated growth factors in a small volume of plasma. Platelets are a natural source of a number of growth factors in their natural and biologically-determined ratios. Why should I get a PRP Facial Rejuvenation? As the years pass, natural collagen production within the skin slows, leading to sagging, lax skin, and loss of volume. PRP injections stimulate collagen production deep within the skin structure to restore skin quality in a natural way. PRP injection therapy can work wonders in an all-natural approach. When injected into the facial skin, PRP stimulates natural skin regeneration becoming visible over the weeks and months ahead. To trigger your skin produce higher volumes of firming collagen, PRP facial rejuvenation treatments can produce a remarkable improvement. What are the benefits of PRP facial injections? Smooths fine lines, wrinkles, and folds Reduces hollowness and thinning of the skin under the eyes Angiogenesis- increasing circulation which is great for brightening undereye circles Regenerates skin from within Reduces redness and acne scars Enhances and evens out skin tone Increases hydration Increases collagen, elastin and fibroblast production What do Platelets do? Platelets release growth factors which regulate the healing cascade by signaling to surrounding cells to repair damaged tissue and regenerate new tissue. Key growth factors involved in this process include but are not limited to: Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF) Transforming Growth Factor group (TGF) Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF) These growth factors are like signal callers that give instructions to your tissue to regenerate and multiply. What is the process like? This quick injection involves using your body’s own platelets in a very easy three-step process: Step 1 – A special collection tube is used to draw your blood and is placed into a centrifuge. Step 2 – The concentrated platelets are drawn up into a syringe. Step 3 – Using a small needle, the platelets are then injected strategically into the areas that need improvement. Which system do you use? At CJ Laser, we use the Eclipse PRP High Concentration system which is the most superior, patented technology in aesthetic medicine. The Eclipse PRP System allows you to simply remove red cells, white cells and platelet poor plasma (PPP) without removing a high percentage of platelets. With higher concentrations we can deliver a higher number of total platelets in fewer, smaller volume injections. How long does the treatment take? The entire process is approximately 45-60 minutes.
