PRP therapy for the skin

A small amount of blood is taken from you and placed in a sterile tube, which is then centrifuged. A centrifuge allows you to separate the components of your blood. Red and white blood cells are divided into platelets and plasma. After centrifugation, the plasma contains the highest concentration of platelets and is called platelet-rich plasma, PRP. The PRP is then placed or injected back into the skin and acts as a matrix that promotes the growth of your collagen and regenerates tissue, resulting in skin tightening. This skin firming helps soften the appearance of wrinkles, creating a smoother texture and skin tone. The procedure itself takes a quick 15-30 minutes and is painless and requires no post-procedure care or time off. Possible side effects include mild swelling, redness, or bruising, which usually resolves within 1-3 days. A big advantage of using PRP is that since it comes from your blood, it reduces the risk of a negative reaction to the procedure. This makes the procedure safe, but also very effective.
