5 Benefits of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for Facial Rejuvenation
Platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, is a component naturally found in the plasma of our blood.
When isolated and injected into areas of injury or damage, the PRP can help supercharge
the healing process. While PRP started as a therapy for soft tissue injuries, PRP therapy
specialist providers discovered that it also offers several benefits for facial aging and
rejuvenation.
How Does PRP Work?
Platelets are small cell fragments produced in our bone marrow. They will eventually
circulate throughout the body using the bloodstream and plasma within the blood. While
platelets are always present, when you have an injury, platelet counts increase and collect
near the injury to promote blood clotting and healing. This is an integral part of the healing
process and helps promote skin growth and rejuvenation.
Using this known process, it is possible to achieve cosmetic effects and benefits with PRP. It
can be applied topically or injected into the skin to cause a healing response and repair
targeted concerns like sun damage or acne scars.
Facial Rejuvenation Benefits of Platelet-Rich Plasma
At PRP In Raleigh, our PRP therapy specialists can help you achieve your cosmetic goals
with non-invasive platelet-rich plasma and platelet-rich fibrin treatments. It is a completely
natural treatment because the platelet-rich plasma or platelet-rich fibrin comes from the
patient themselves, offering almost no chance of an allergic reaction or rejection.
#1: Induce Collagen Production
Collagen is one of the primary proteins that make up the skin. After age 20, you begin to
slowly see your body’s collagen production decline. Collagen is naturally created when
healing a wound since new skin needs to be created and the clotting process that PRP
promotes is one of the driving forces of this process. Thus, PRP treatments increase
collagen which prevents aging and can treat a variety of skin concerns.
#2: Strengthen Skin Structure
One of the effects of increased collagen production is that it can help plump areas of sagging
skin. It does this depending on the mode of treatment. If treated topically, the PRP can
address the surface skin and help promote tighter skin and wrinkles. However, if injected
deeper, platelet-rich plasma can help replace lost volume through collagen production.
While it is not a replacement for a facelift or similar surgery, it is ideal for treating the early
signs of sagging to slow its progression.
#3: Reduce Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation—and pigmentation problems in general—are notoriously hard to treat.
Sun damage, genetics, and other factors can all contribute to hyperpigmentation. PRP helps
your body turnover the melanated cells quicker and more effectively to help restore a more
even skin tone. It is best to use PRP or PRF in conjunction with other hyperpigmentation
treatments for optimal results.
#4: Treat Acne Scars
Acne scars can appear as deep pits on the skin. While some are small and hardly noticeable,
others can dramatically affect the look of the face. Injections of platelet-rich plasma or
platelet-rich fibrin induce collagen and healing to fill in these scars. This can be done with
PRP or PRF injections or skin treatments such as PRF combined with microneedling.
Morpheus8 and PRF microneedling are particularly beneficial for treating acne scars.
#5: Encourage Better Hair Growth
PRP or PRF hair restoration is a procedure where a PRP therapy specialist administers PRP
injections to the scalp. This helps repair hair follicles damaged due to hormones and
promotes new, thicker hair growth. However, platelet-rich plasma can also address hair
growth outside of the scalp. Some may consider using PRP for beard hair and eyebrows. Of
course, these treatments can also improve skin quality.
