PRP in cosmetology is a method of face plasmotherapy, which is based on the properties of “platelet-rich plasma”, or platelet-rich plasma. The secret to the rejuvenation effect lies in a special technology that allows you to isolate the patient’s platelets at a high concentration without damaging the cells. This amazing method is also used in other fields of medicine, for example, ophthalmology, gynecology, and surgery.
A dermatologist at the MC Dobrobut clinic will perform high-quality plasma isolation based on our modern laboratory to trigger the natural mechanisms of cell renewal in your skin.
The rejuvenating effect is achieved because of the drug, which is identical to the characteristics of the patient’s cells. This minimizes the risk of conflict and adverse reactions after injection. Platelets contain special proteins that stimulate the formation of “growth factors” that allow tissues to renew themselves and form new cells.
1 microliter of plasma contains 1,000,000 of the patient’s own active platelets.
For comparison: the concentration of the drug for plasmolifting does not exceed 300,000 units, while the cells are placed in heparin. Such a drug gives the effect of moisturizing the skin but can no longer launch an independent renewal in the cells.
Cosmetological PRP plasma therapy involves a course of injections with an interval of 7 days. The patient sees a pronounced result already at 2-3 visits, and the effect lasts from 12 to 18 months.
The method is effective where not only a cosmetic effect is required, but there is also a need for the fastest recovery of the skin after deep peelings or surgical interventions.
Also, the PRP procedure allows you to activate hair growth in case of baldness. It is used for active rehabilitation after implantation.
Also, the list of contraindications includes an allergy to heparin and individual intolerance to the preservative sodium citrate. When preparing for PRP therapy, the cost of the tests should be added to the cost of the procedure, which must be passed to make sure that there are no contraindications.
The first thing that the patient has to go through is a consultation with a dermatologist from Dobrobut MC. The specialist must assess your well-being, identify if there are any contraindications.
Blood sampling is carried out on an empty stomach in the morning. In this case, the material is as pure as possible. Blood is taken from a vein in a volume of 10-20 ml.
The tube is placed in a centrifuge: plasma and platelets are separated into the upper fraction. Leukocytes and erythrocytes go down.
Pain relief is usually not required, but if the patient is sensitive to injections, an anesthetic is used first.
The doctor injects plasma with platelet concentrate into the problem area.
PRP service costs may vary: the duration of the course will affect the last budget, the size of the problem area, tests, and related costs if additional therapy or physiotherapy is required.
It is important to observe the following time intervals: 48 hours for the healing of micro-channels from punctures and up to 2.5 weeks for the recovery and adaptation of the body. Like most cosmetic and dermatological procedures, the PRP procedure obliges the patient to provide the skin with the maximum possible state of rest:
In the first 48 hours, refrain from washing your hair and drying your hair with a hairdryer, excluding decorative cosmetics. For 24 hours immediately after the procedure, do not wash your face with water and treat the area with antiseptic agents.
Such measures are because the injections themselves trigger an inflammatory process in the skin. It is important for the patient not to aggravate the already stressful condition of the skin.
The successful implementation of the facial plasma therapy procedure largely depends on the level of practical skills of the dermatologist and the quality of the office equipment. The price for PRP is higher than for plasmolifting; this is because of a more complex method and a spectacular result.
