PRP Q & A

 

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Anti-Aging Therapy

PRP Therapy is an advanced regenerative medicine treatment that utilizes concentrated autologous platelets to stimulate tissue repair and collagen production. By extracting and activating the patient's own growth factors, it achieves natural rejuvenation without synthetic additives or downtime.

 

Key Benefits

✔ 100% Autologous: No allergy/rejection risks

✔ Growth Factor Powerhouse: Contains 30+ bioactive proteins (PDGF, VEGF, EGF, etc.)

✔ Versatile Applications: Face, scalp, wound healing

✔ Zero Downtime: Resume daily activities immediately

 

Science Behind PRP

  1. Blood Draw: 10-20ml venous blood collection
  2. Centrifugation: Isolates PRP (4-6x platelet concentration)
  3. Activation: Calcium/Thrombin triggers growth factor release
  4. Delivery Methods:

      ◦ Microinjection (face/neck rejuvenation)

      ◦ Microneedling (for hair restoration)

      ◦ Topical application (wound healing)
