Platelet Rich Plasma
PRP, short for Platelet Rich Plasma, is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses the healing properties of platelets found in the plasma component of blood. PRP is obtained by centrifuging blood to separate platelets from other blood components. The isolated platelets, containing growth factors, are then either injected or topically applied to the desired area.
To find the approach that best fits your needs, we encourage you to schedule a personalized consultation with our skilled medical practitioners at Trinity Medical Aesthetics.
Improvement
When injected or topically applied, the concentrated growth factors present in PRP stimulate a natural repair mechanism in the skin and collagen production.
- Skin Rejuvenation. PRP can help rejuvenate the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture and tone, and enhance the youthful appearance of the skin.
- Hair Restoration. PRP can be used to stimulate hair growth and improve hair density in certain cases of hair loss.
- Wound Healing. The growth factors in PRP promote tissue repair and can accelerate the healing process in wounds, ulcers, and other skin injuries.
- Repair for injuries to tendons and ligaments. The use of PRP has shown success in accelerating the repair process for injuries to tendons and ligaments. When PRP is injected into the affected area, it delivers a concentrated amount of growth factors and other bioactive substances that can promote tissue regeneration and healing.
Expected Results & Recovery Time
Optimum results usually require several PRP sessions, and noticeable changes may take 4-6 weeks to become evident.
A minimum of three PRP sessions is typically recommended, with around six sessions being optimal for desired outcomes.
Like other rejuvenation modalities, maintenance treatments are necessary to preserve the previously achieved outcomes.
In uncomplicated treatments, downtime is typically 24 hours.
Risks & Side Effects
Potential side effects of PRP injections include pain and the remote possibility of infection. Redness and initial discomfort are common but typically resolve within a few hours.
