What does plate-rich plasma therapy treat?

PRP therapy can treat a wide variety of aging-related concerns, some of which include the following:

• Facial aging
• Scarring
• Fine lines
• Skin laxity
• Hair thinning
• Stretch marks
• Dark circles under the eyes
• Lip lines
• Acne scars
• Uneven skin tone

How does PRP therapy work?

This treatment entails introducing platelet-rich plasma into affected parts of the skin. The platelet-rich plasma contains concentrated growth factors that promote and support tissue repair, collagen building, epithelial cell growth, and skin regeneration.

Surgeons acquire the platelet-rich plasma by drawing blood from your body. This is then spun using a centrifuge system to extract therapeutic plasma. Dr. Theunissen will then use various techniques to inject it into the affected areas. PRP therapy is typically painless with no recovery time needed. Patients experience temporary side effects such as mild swelling and bruising at the treatment sites, but these dissipate after a couple of days. Results of PRP treatment usually manifest within 3-4 weeks and improve as the collagen regeneration process continues.

Who is PRP treatment for?

This non-surgical treatment is ideal for men and women who are looking to improve the appearance of their facial skin. PRP therapy works on all skin types and is completely biocompatible because plasma is drawn from the patient’s own blood.
