Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Skin Repair in the Holliston/Metrowest, MA Area
Revitalize Your Skin with Your Body's Natural Healing Power
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a cutting-edge treatment that uses your body’s own healing abilities to enhance skin health, treat scars, and restore hair. By leveraging the power of platelets, PRP can rejuvenate your skin and help you achieve a more youthful, vibrant appearance.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP is derived from your own blood, making it a natural and safe option for skin and hair rejuvenation. The process involves drawing a small amount of blood, which is then spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma rich in platelets from other blood components. These platelets are packed with growth factors that play a crucial role in healing and tissue regeneration.
Key Benefits of PRP
- Stimulates Natural Collagen Production: PRP boosts your skin's ability to produce collagen, the essential protein responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. This results in a more youthful, lifted appearance.
- Minimizes Acne Scars and Other Scars: PRP is particularly effective in treating acne scars, helping to remodel the skin and reduce the visibility of scars over time.
- Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By promoting collagen and elastin production, PRP helps smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, giving your skin a more youthful and refreshed look.
- Improves Skin Texture and Tone: PRP can help refine your skin's texture, reducing the appearance of pores and improving overall skin tone for a smoother, more even complexion.
- Enhances Healing and Recovery: The growth factors in PRP accelerate the healing process, making it an ideal treatment for post-acne skin, after-surgery care, or any other skin conditions needing rapid repair.
- Natural and Safe: Since PRP is derived from your own blood, it's a highly natural treatment with minimal risk of allergic reactions or adverse effects.
How PRP Treatment Works
Both PRP Microneedling and PRP Injections start with a simple blood draw, similar to a routine blood test. The blood is then processed in a centrifuge to separate the Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) from the rest of the blood components. This PRP, packed with growth factors, is then used in either microneedling or direct injections.
PRP Microneedling
During microneedling, a specialized device creates thousands of tiny punctures in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing process. The PRP is applied after microneedling, allowing it to deeply penetrate and accelerate skin repair.
PRP Injections
For PRP Injections, the PRP is directly injected into the skin, targeting specific areas that require rejuvenation, such as acne scars or wrinkles with enhanced skin repair and collagen production.
After Treatment
After the treatment, you may experience some redness or mild swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects usually subside within a few days. As your skin heals, you’ll notice improvements in texture, tone, and overall radiance. For optimal results, a series of treatments may be recommended.
Growth Factors Stimulated by Microneedling with PRP
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) plays a significant role in the regulation of cell growth, proliferation and differentiation during the remodeling phase. Stimulates keratinocyte and fibroblast production.
- Transforming Growth Factor (TGF): promotes angiogenesis which is the physiological process involving the growth of new blood vessels.
- Vascular Endothelial Growth Facer (VEGF): an important signaling protein involved in both vasculogenesis and angiogenesis that may help the growth of blood vessels from pre-existing vasculature.
- Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF): promotes angiogenesis, granulation, and epithelialization for the intricate process of tissue repairing itself after injury.
- Interleukins, Macrophages, Keratinocytes, Endothelial Cells, Lymphocytes, Fibroblasts, Osteoblasts, Basophils. Mast Cells activates fibroblast differentiation. Induces collagen and proteoglycan synthesis for healthy cell production and repair of damaged tissues.
- Collagen Stimulating Growth Factor (KGF): stimulates granulocyte and macrophage proliferation for the growth of healthy tissue and blood cells.
- Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF): keratinocyte migration, differentiation, and proliferations may optimize conditions for healing and the generation of new skin.
