Today, various skincare treatments enhance the skin’s appearance and functionality. These treatments were developed from the understanding that growth, diet, and activities affect how the skin functions. The skin uses enzymes for optimal performance, and with time the amount of these enzymes produced by the body reduces. Skin treatment propels the body to produce these enzymes in large quantities for the skin.
Facial treatments consist of various skincare treatments to improve the appearance and functionality of the skin around the face. These skin care treatments include skin needling, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) rejuvenation, and more.
This article highlights the benefits of PRP for the purposes of facial rejuvenation and hair regrowth.
What is PRP Facial Rejuvenation?
Platelet-Rich Plasma rejuvenation is a form of skin needling treatment where platelets are injected into the blood plasma of a skin cell to facilitate natural healing. This process was birthed from the discovery that healing occurs faster when platelets are concentrated in plasma cells.
PRP rejuvenation involves extracting blood and separating the various blood components (plasma cells, platelets, white blood cells, and red blood cells) through centrifugation, extracting the platelets and injecting them into plasma cells, and injecting the platelet-rich plasma cells into the body. For facial rejuvenation, this procedure is done on the skin that surrounds the face as it produces excellent results.
Benefits of PRP Facial Rejuvenation
There are various benefits of PRP Facial Rejuvenation. These benefits distinguish it from other forms of facial treatments, and they are:
- Risk-free: PRP facial rejuvenation therapy is done in two ways. The first by injecting PRP into the skin at specific depths, while the other is by spreading the PRP blood around the skin. Both methods are risk-free because they have no side effects or allergic reactions.
- Faster recovery time: with other forms of facial treatment, the skin takes longer to heal and recover. The results can take a while before they become visible. With PRP however, facial rejuvenation takes a shorter time to heal, and the results are seen instantly.
- Increased collagen production: collagen gives the skin strength and elasticity. As the body ages, it does not stop producing collagen entirely, but the rate of collagen production does decline. PRP rejuvenation forces the body to produce collagen in large amounts and at a faster rate, resulting in increased collagen production once more.
- Removal of scars, wrinkles, and fine lines: various things can result in burns, wrinkles, or fine lines around the face. However, PRP facial rejuvenation helps erase scars, burns, wrinkles, and fine lines by making the skin self-heal.
- Moisture retention: PRP facial rejuvenation therapy unclogs the skin’s pores. This makes it easy for the skin to retain moisture, stay hydrated, and strengthen its layers.
- Improvement of skin tone and pigmentation: PRP rejuvenation therapy forces the body to reproduce new skin cells while eliminating old skin cells. This helps in depigmentation of the skin and improvement in skin tone.
Preparing for PRP Facial Rejuvenation Therapy
There are specific steps to take in preparation for PRP Facial rejuvenation. They include:
- Regularly wear sunscreen when stepping out before your therapy.
- Keep the skin hydrated by drinking enough water regularly before your therapy.
- Attend your therapy without makeup
PRP Therapy for Hair Regrowth
How does PRP promote hair regrowth?
When there is a suitably high density of platelets present in plasma cells, they help to induce hair regrowth by extending the growth phase of the hair rotation. During the treatment process, a skin doctor injects plasma into a patient’s scalp, where hair loss is evident.
PRP injections are typically performed on a monthly basis for a few months, after which they are then injected once every few months, for a period of up to 2 years. The frequency and duration of injections will depend on a patient’s severity of hair loss, age and other health factors, which will be discussed by the doctor.
