Skin PRP

Platelet-rich plasma or PRP is a known method for enhancing skin conditions. People who are suffering from premature ageing of the skin, want to make the skin look more radiant or want to feel youthful opt for PRP for skin treatments. PRP also helps deal with acne and scars, so you can regain your confidence. The use of your own plasma and the addition of stem cells that are also collected from your body makes this process natural and effective.

1. Reduced Fine lines and wrinkles.
2. Pores appear to be smaller.
3. Scars look better
4. Less hyperpigmentation 

1. It stimulates elastin and collagen production that helps tighten your thinning skin and effectively smoothen fine lines and wrinkles.
2. This treatment stimulates collagen that is effective in treating blemishes or scars seen after burns or acne heal.
3. The stimulation of the keratinocytes and melanocytes helps deal with conditions like hyperpigmentation and makes the skin texture become better.
4. It is best for people who suffer from acne or rosacea.
5. The addition of stem cells catalyses and accelerates regeneration and is highly recommended where there are serious injuries to heal the scars from these traumatic injuries.

The step-by-step procedure for PRP for skin includes:

3. PRP is separated and obtained from the blood sample.
4. The stem cells are extracted from the patient's fat tissue or bone marrow and are added to the  PRP concentration.
5. The stem cell-enriched PRP is injected into the affected area as the addition of stem cells catalyses and accelerates regeneration and is highly recommended where there are serious injuries.
6. In a few cases, ultrasound will be used to improve precision.
