about Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Your blood is made up of four main components: red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, and plasma. Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a platelet concentrated component from which your own blood contains nutrient rich cells and protein growth factors
Platelets are tiny cells that circulate within our body and bind together when they recognize damaged blood vessels. Platelets are made in your bone marrow along with your white and red blood cells.
Plasma is the largest component of your blood, making up about 55% of its overall content. The primary purpose of plasma is to transport nutrients, hormones, and proteins to the part of the body that need it.
PRP is produced when a small amount of blood is drawn and placed into a sterile, disposable container and then spun to separate the platelets from your blood sample, resulting in a platelet-rich plasma.
PRP is safe because it comes from your own blood, therefore there is minimal risk for allergic or immune reaction. PRP preparation must be conducted by a trained medical professional. Consult your physician for more information.
Simply inquire about our SkinPen, or microneedling treatment. PRP is a very common add on to microneedling and will be discussed as one of the available options to incorporate.
Recovery and benefits
There are three phases to the wound-repair process:
- Phase I: Inflammation. Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to cleanse the wound, remove debris, increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.
- Phase II: Proliferation. The wound is rebuilt with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.
- Phase III: Remodeling. The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.
