WHAT IS PRP?

The PRP or Blood Facial was popularised by the above photo of Kim Kardashian.  It consists of treating the skin with the patient’s own blood.

Platelet-rich plasma is plasma that contains more platelets than normally found in the blood. Best known for their role in clotting blood, platelets also contain proteins called growth factors. These proteins are extremely important in the healing process. The platelet concentration in PRP can be up to 10 times richer than usual, meaning that the concentration of growth factors is also much higher. Growth factors are necessary in the wound healing process, required for production of new collagen.

How treatment works?

The PRP preparation is developed by first drawing blood from the patient. Then, the platelets are separated from the other cells, and through a process called centrifugation.  The plasma is drawn and injected directly on the skin using a needle or micropen (dermaroller).
