PRP therapy has been utilized for decades to aid in healing injuries and wounds. But how can PRP help your acne scars?

Well, PRP therapy can do much more than diminish the appearance of acne scars. Alongside its healing properties, PRP can help you look and feel younger by rejuvenating your skin, promoting hair growth, and delivering long-lasting results.

What Is PRP?

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy promotes healing and rejuvenates the skin.

By using your own plasma and platelets, a concentrated solution is created to be injected into your skin. This can be performed to treat specific injuries, enhance overall healing, or achieve younger-looking skin.

The plasma contains nutrients and proteins that address various skin issues. These nutrients and proteins also help cells rejuvenate at a cellular level, promoting further healing.

How Does PRP Work?

Similar to a blood donation, PRP uses a sample of your blood to create the injectable substance. The plasma is separated from your blood to create the platelet-rich plasma for your treatment. And because your own blood is used for the treatment, there’s no need to worry about compatibility issues.

PRP therapy has long been used to help athletes recover, but it has quickly become a highly sought-after form of anti-aging treatment. PRP can be used to:

• Restore lost hair

• Treat sun damage

• Heal acne scarring

• Rejuvenate your face

• Speed up healing time

• Minimize the appearance of stretch marks

PRP therapy is effective because it uses the body’s natural substances to improve healing time and overall results.

Who Might Benefit from PRP?

Refresh Your Look

Injecting or micro-needling PRP into your face can promote cell growth and healing. This process can help you look and feel younger by hydrating and plumping your skin.

If you have acne scars, sun damage, stretch marks, or lost elasticity in your skin, PRP can help your body heal these “trouble areas” naturally.

Achieve Your Hair Goals

PRP is as beneficial for your hair as it is for your skin. By injecting PRP into areas on your head that have experienced hair loss, the concentration of plasma and platelets can help promote hair growth where you need it.

What Should I Expect from a PRP Treatment?

An initial consultation should be performed to determine the proper treatment for your skin, hair, and overall beauty goals.

For a PRP session at Refine Skin and Body Clinic, we’ll check you in and get you settled in your treatment room. Your practitioner will cleanse your skin and numb the areas with a topical anesthetic.

While we wait for the anesthetic to take effect, we’ll draw a vial of blood and transfer it to the centrifuge to spin, separating the plasma from your blood. We’ll then prepare the concentration for injection or micro-needling.

Using an instrument called an Dermapen to perform microneedling, we create tiny incisions in your skin that act as channels for the PRP substance to sink into. Once you’re finished, you can take some time to relax—most patients are able to return to their daily activities after their treatment is complete.

Additional Benefits of PRP

Sexual Health - PRP can also be used to enhance sexual health through treatments known as the P shot and O shot. The P shot is designed for men and can help improve erectile function, sensitivity, and overall sexual performance. The O shot, on the other hand, is for women and aims to increase sexual arousal, lubrication, and the ability to achieve orgasm. These treatments utilize the healing and rejuvenating properties of PRP to enhance sexual health naturally.

Joint Rejuvenation - For those suffering from osteoarthritis, PRP therapy can provide significant relief. Injecting PRP into the affected joints can reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and alleviate pain. The growth factors in PRP help repair and regenerate the damaged tissues in the joints, promoting long-term healing and improved function.

Why Choose PRP?

PRP therapy is an all-natural treatment that can rejuvenate your skin, heal injuries, and promote overall health when performed by a professional. There is a lower risk with PRP than other treatments as it uses plasma from your body. And most importantly, To achieve good results with PRP, undergoing multiple sessions (at least 3) is typically recommended.
