PRP injections: What are its uses in the cosmetic medicine industry?

Aesthetic medicine now offers many treatments to reduce the signs of aging skin such as wrinkles and fine lines, loss of skin elasticity, the appearance of dark circles and pigment spots. Many modern treatments stimulate your own cells, including fibroblasts or hair follicles, to do their job. Among them is PRP, which stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. It is a natural injectable because it consists directly and solely of your own cells extracted from a simple blood test. Platelet-rich plasma is highly concentrated in growth factors. This will stimulate the cells where the PRP will be reinjected. It is a form of regenerative medicine.

As a natural injectable, PRP treatment has been known for a very long time in several surgical fields and therapeutic applications for wound healing, joint, muscle and tendon problems. Its benefits are now increasingly exploited in plastic surgery and anti-aging or aesthetic medicine due to its regenerative properties in facial rejuvenation treatments, improving the quality of scars as well as preventing hair loss. and improve their quality.

The plastic surgeons at Leman Aesthetic Clinic in Geneva help you discover what this treatment is and its applications in the aesthetic field.

What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)?

Platelets refer to blood cells that cause blood clotting and tissue regeneration when subjected to inflammatory processes caused by damage to blood vessels or tissues. Platelet-rich plasma refers to blood plasma enriched with high volumes of platelets that can be used as a tissue regeneration treatment.

As the injected blood plasma is prepared from your own blood, the product is autologous, 100% biocompatible and without any risk of rejection or side effects.

How does a PRP session take place?

It involves injecting fresh plasma rich in growth factors directly into the targeted area of ​​the skin to stimulate its regeneration and cell biology, its production of collagen. PRP increases the volume of the skin, improves its texture, reduces sagging and small wrinkles. Injectable PRP goes through a process to get fresh plasma ready to inject.

First, the plastic surgeon takes a small amount of blood from the patient's body. The extracted blood is then placed in a centrifuge that spins at high speed, separating the platelets from other blood cells. The blood is then processed to collect the platelets and mix them with an anticoagulant to prevent the blood from clotting. The resulting platelet-rich plasma is finally injected into the target area.

Depending on the area to be treated, the procedure can last from 30 to 45 minutes.

What are its uses in the cosmetic medicine industry?

Skin rejuvenation

PRP injections have gained popularity for the remarkable results achieved in skin rejuvenation. When injected under the skin, plasma naturally improves skin texture and tone and reduces the depth of wrinkles and even dark circles. PRP preserves the natural hydration of the skin and protects it from all external aggressions such as the sun and pollution. Thus, for several years, PRP has been used as a preventive treatment for skin aging, also called “vampire facelift”.

Hair regeneration

When used alone or in combination with hair transplants, PRP increases the rate of proliferation of human dermal papilla cells that regulate hair follicle growth. The treatment is suitable for both men and women and is often used to treat alopecia (hair loss).

PRP with laser treatment

Facial rejuvenation treatments using PRP in conjunction with laser resurfacing therapy are very effective in correcting scars resulting from burns, surgery or acne. PRP can improve skin quality by increasing collagen fibers and elastic fibers. In addition to promoting healing, the growth factors provided by PRP help reduce redness and inflammation caused by laser treatments.

Before embarking on a skin rejuvenation treatment such as PRP, it must be understood that the response to this type of treatment can vary greatly from one person to another. This should be discussed in detail with your surgeon to optimize your chances of satisfaction at the end of the treatment protocol.

From our experience, thanks to regular and well-scheduled sessions, patients can obtain very positive results: more radiant, firmer and smoother skin, faded spots and scars, lightened dark circles, a face, neck and firmer and more toned neckline. The results begin to be visible after a month, the time necessary for the cells to begin their work of regeneration.

For hair treatments, the hair is shinier and thicker from the first session. Patients notice a slowing of hair loss during subsequent sessions. Repeat sessions are required every 3-6 months. This allows the skin to constantly regenerate and achieve lasting results. For hair treatment, we recommend two to three maintenance sessions each year to maintain treatment results.
