Platelets play a key role in helping tissue to heal and new cells to grow. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections can be extremely valuable in helping to reduce wrinkles and blemishes related to aging and in enhanced healing for certain injuries or conditions. The process is straightforward: Blood is drawn from a vein in the patient’s arm, then placed into a centrifuge that separates the different blood cells. The platelet-rich portion is extracted and then injected into that same patient’s area of treatment.

As an anti-aging solution, PRP is applied with microneedling to specific areas of the face and neck to help your own collagen to grow and to regenerate tissue, ultimately smoothing and tightening the skin. This softens wrinkles and leads to a younger-looking, and feeling, skin texture and tone.

Loaded with growth factors and healing elements, PRP assists with tissue repair and attracts the assistance of stem cells for the body’s healing process. Its ability to stimulate and optimize the body’s healing mechanisms makes PRP a popular treatment for chronic injuries.
