Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy involves injection of the patient’s own platelets and fibrin for the cosmetic treatment of wrinkles or scars in the face, hands, and neck
This procedure can be combined with dermal fillers, disport injections, and laser surgery, as well as facial surgery. PRP builds tissue over time, whereas traditional filler breaks down over time.
Be
cause this filler is made from the patient’s own blood, there is no risk for rejection, infection, or an allergic reaction.
Used cosmetically to treat volume loss in the face, hands, and neck — particularly the crepey skin under the eyes and neck — as well as wrinkles, acne scarring, and stretch marks.
Platelets play a role in stopping bleeding and in repairing damaged blood vessels and cells in the body. Platelets also contain substances called “growth factors” that activate and rejuvenate cells in our body. Unlike fillers that use various synthetic substances, Selphyl uses the patient’s natural biology to address skin defects and volume loss, triggering production of new cells and collagen formation.
PRP for Anti-Aging and Skin Rejuvenation
PRP is packed with healing and growth factors and is used for skin rejuvenation for aging and damaged skin. PRP can simulate stem cells to regenerate collagen and elastin for improvement of skin tone and texture, as well as fine lines and wrinkles. Using your own enriched plasma allows the body to reconfigure tissues to a more healful and youthful state. Dramatic results can be seen under the eyes, upper lips, and overall skin appearance of the face.
PRP for Hair Re-Growth
PRP can also stimulate cells for new hair follicle growth. This is a proactive theraputic option for male and female patients who are experiencing hair loss due to hormonal and environmental stressors.
