What Can PRP Be Used For?

Are you wondering whether PRP treatment could be the right choice for you? At FACE Skincare~Medical~Wellness, we are delighted to offer Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy to improve a wide range of skin concerns. The type of PRP we offer is Selphyl PRFM (platelet Rich Fibrin Matrix) which is a second-generation PRP which lasts longer, shows better results. PRP can diminish signs of aging, reduce unsightly scars, and clarify and condition your overall complexion.

What is PRP?

Platelet-rich plasma, also known as PRP, is a component of your blood that encourages blood clotting as a key part of healing. PRP is collected through a normal blood draw and spun in a centrifuge to separate the platelets and plasma from the other components for injection. The area of your body being treated is numbed and then the plasma cells are injected to trigger the healing process. Usually, this takes about thirty minutes.

Types of PRP Treatments

PRP can help both men and women with a variety of health and aesthetic concerns. For complexion clarity, PRP induces stem cell production to create new skin cells, collagen and elastin, and promotes healing for smoother, younger-looking skin. For sexual wellness, PRP can improve women’s vaginal health, orgasm response, and urinary incontinence. Men who receive PRP in the scalp can slow hair loss and restore strands to natural thickness.

What Conditions PRP Treats

PRP therapy can help with various muscle, ligament, and tendon injuries. It’s widely used in sports medicine to speed up healing. PRP injections release growth factors, helping the body repair itself more effectively.

Common Conditions PRP Treats

Tennis elbow: It can relieve elbow pain and inflammation.
Knee osteoarthritis: Helps reduce joint pain and stiffness.
Rotator cuff injuries: Aids in repairing shoulder muscles.
Achilles tendonitis: Promotes healing and reduces swelling.

PRP is also used after surgery to accelerate recovery. It can help with torn ligaments, muscle tears, and other injuries needing faster healing.

PRP Injections

PRP injections are created from your own blood so the body will not react negatively to them. When used in the face, PRP stimulates collagen and elastin production, the two components responsible for maintaining youthful structure and quality of skin. PRP can also fill light scarring, fine lines, texture, and subtle hollow areas like under your eyes. For general face restoration, we call it our Plasma Facelift. PRP injections in areas of thinning hair (for men and women alike) can restore fertility to the scalp for better hair growth, improve strength and thickness of existing follicles, and even restore some lost follicles to reverse hair loss.

PRP for Hair Loss and Restoration

PRP therapy is effective for treating hair loss, especially for male pattern baldness. The growth factors in PRP stimulate hair follicles, encouraging hair regrowth and improving the thickness of existing hair.

PRP for Hair Restoration

Promotes hair growth: PRP injections increase blood supply to hair follicles, strengthening them.
Reduces hair thinning: PRP can slow down the rate of hair loss, especially in the early stages.
Supports post-transplant recovery: PRP enhances healing after hair transplants, improving the success of the procedure.

PRP in Orthopedic and Sports Medicine

PRP therapy is widely used in orthopedic and sports medicine to treat muscle, tendon, and ligament injuries. It’s popular among athletes looking to recover quickly from injuries.

PRP in Sports Medicine

Tendon injuries: PRP helps repair damaged tendons, like those in tennis elbow or Achilles tendonitis.
Muscle strains: It’s used to treat muscle tears and strains, promoting quicker healing.
Knee osteoarthritis: PRP reduces pain, improves joint function, and may delay surgery.

By injecting PRP into injured areas, patients experience reduced pain and faster recovery.

How PRP Works (Biological Mechanism)

PRP works by utilizing the body’s own platelets to boost healing. Platelets, which are part of the blood, contain growth factors and proteins that help repair damaged tissues.

How PRP Is Prepared

When a patient undergoes PRP therapy, blood is drawn and placed in a centrifuge. The concentrated platelets are then injected into the injured area, releasing growth factors that stimulate the body’s healing process. This helps boost the production of new cells, collagen, and elastin, speeding up recovery.
