Platelet Rich Plasma Injection Adelaide
Platelet Rich Plasma Injection is a non-surgical procedure that accelerates the body’s natural collagen and elastin production, providing overall skin rejuvenation and giving your skin a youthful glow. Kim Kardashian, Angelina Jolie, Kobe Bryant, Rupert Everett… the list goes on of celebrities who swear by PRP therapy which includes PRP treatment for the face, PRP skin treatments, and PRP hair treatment, among others.
Basically, PRP Injection uses the client’s own blood in overall rejuvenation as the plasma contains stem cells and growth-rich platelets. Once injected into the skin, it speeds up the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin needed to naturally revitalise the skin and minimise the signs of ageing.
The Prp Skin Treatment Process
We take a blood sample from you and spin it in a centrifuge to isolate the protein-rich plasma and platelets. Then we wash the area to be treated and apply a local anaesthetic cream. The PRP is then injected right into the area to be treated. The entire process takes around 60 minutes.
How Prp Skin Treatment Works
With the treatment, growth factors in the protein-rich plasma called fibroblasts are stimulated, boosting their replication and production of collagen and elastin. Collagen and elastin are the ones responsible for the strength and elasticity of our skin (and skin tissues). We lose these proteins as we age.
The treatment also stimulates fat cells that give our face fullness and diminishes the lines (wrinkles, crow’s feet, laugh lines, etc.) on our face. This stimulation results in tissue growth, thereby reducing wrinkles and giving us a younger-looking complexion.
