Benefits of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection

Benefits of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injection

According to experts, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is used for treating various conditions such as arthritis and bone injuries. In this procedure, platelets rejuvenate and repair damaged tissue. Innovation created a new path for PRP. Now, the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery recognizes it as a method that can help improve your looks. PRP injection is a safe aesthetic treatment that can enhance your hair, skin, and face. If you have been thinking about getting a PRP injection soon, here’s what you should know about its benefits.

 

Facial Rejuvenation

During the procedure, your cosmetic surgeon injects PRP in a grid placed over the section of the face that needs treatment. This stimulates skin regeneration, which increases elastin and collagen production. It also improves blood circulation in that area of your face. You then gain plumper and smoother skin. Experts say that their patients look a lot better many months after their PRP treatment. This happens because plasma activates your skin’s stem cells that then produce more cells and give off more collagen. The process of new cell production lasts for weeks or even months.
 

The increase in collagen makes your fine lines and wrinkles fade. When your face receives PRP, a cellular shift happens. Your old skin cells are reused, resulting in elastin, collagen, and new skin formation. Then, your skin tightens as a response to the micro-needling injuries of the treatment. The deep folds on your face become shallow as your face becomes plumper. If you have hyperpigmentation or any type of scarring on your face, PRP will eliminate all of them. You will have a new, radiant face just a few days after the treatment. This non-invasive method also tightens pores and helps your skin retain more moisture.

 

Eye Renewal

Dark circles can be an eyesore. It can also make you look older and tired all the time. Many people suffer from this type of eye pigmentation issue. Fortunately, PRP can help. With one PRP treatment, plasma scrapes off the pigments that darken the skin around your eyes. It then stimulates the growth of new skin. The results of a PRP eye renewal treatment usually last for one to two years. The procedure itself is short, and the effects are usually natural because your body reacts organically to the PRP injections.

 

Hair Restoration

As you age, your hair starts to thin. Through PRP injections, your hair follicles wake up. It helps hair replacement treatments by thickening the newly growing hair. A PRP injection is more potent when it is used on your scalp and eyebrows. It uses your body’s own cells to enhance your hair follicles. The discomfort you feel is minimal, mostly from the injections. Many people notice the amazing results a few months after the treatment. With your busy schedule, PRP hair restoration treatment is convenient because it doesn’t require any downtime at all.
