Platelet Rich Plasma Facial Rejuvenation with Microneedling
with Dr. Patel
What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)?
Platelet Rich Plasma or PRP, is the injection of the patient’s own platelets and fibrin for the cosmetic treatment of wrinkles, tightening of skin and scars treatment on the face.
PRP is a natural product created from your own body. A small amount of blood is drawn from you and placed in a sterile tube that is spun down in a centrifuge to separate the different components of the blood. Red and white blood cells are divided from the platelets and the plasma. This plasma now contains a higher than normal number of platelets and is called platelet rich plasma, or PRP. Platelets contain substances called growth factors that activate and rejuvenate cells in the body. The concentrated platelets in PRP contain tremendous amounts of bioactive proteins, which include the growth factors PDGF and VEGF. These growth factors initiate accelerated tissue repair, and have positive effects on skin rejuvenation. The growth factors, when released, promote tissue repair, angiogenesis (capillary formation), and collagen production. The goal is to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, and the creation of new skin cells. Your skin will glow and immediately feel smoother and softer, with progressive improvements continuing for several months. The platelets are then injected into your skin via microneedling.

Is PRP Safe? What are the side effects?
PRP has been used medically for years to accelerate the healing process for wounds, tendon damage, ligament damage, and joint damage; and to heal diabetic ulcers and help regrow bone and muscle.
Platelet Rich Plasma literally stimulates new cell growth in the patient’s body wherever it is injected. It helps the body heal itself the natural way without using chemicals or foreign substances of any kind. The possibility of an allergic reaction or infection is almost nil because the plasma comes from the patient’s own body.
PRP Effects Are Lasting?
Patient's who have had the Platelet-Rich Plasma treatment find their face look even better several months after they have had the treatments. That’s because the plasma stimulates their skin’s stem cells to produce more collagen, grow new cells and literally rejuvenate their skin. The new cell growth in your skin generated by the Platelet Rich Plasma takes weeks to months, which is why it looks so much better after more time passes. Botox and other filler treatments break down with time, but the Platelet Rich Plasma lasts.
