The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has attracted attention in various medical fields recently. The non-surgical option treatment uses a patient’s own blood cells to accelerate healing in a specific area.
Also known as the “vampire facial,” the rejuvenation treatment stimulate collagen production and cell migration, allowing for the elimination of lines, folds, and wrinkles.
If you’re considering getting a vampire facelift, here’s what you should know.
HOW PRP WORKS?
PRP injections are used for a range of conditions. From musculoskeletal pain and sports injuries, to arthritis, skin rejuvenation, and hair loss.
To prepare PRP, blood is taken from your arm with a special kit similar to a normal blood test. It is then placed in a special centrifugation machine that separates the platelets from the blood in order to be extracted in a concentrated form called PRP.
Plasma contains proteins that support cell growth, regeneration, increased collagen - and healing.
Enjoy younger, firmer skin with fewer lines and wrinkles.
