PRP Therapy may be a popular treatment that utilizes the patient’s own blood cells to rejuvenate and enhance the skin scalp. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is that the body’s path of defense within the repair and healing process. The plasma within the PRP stimulates the patient’s stem cells naturally and “wakes them up” causing them to supply more collagen, resulting in a healthier, younger-looking appearance. PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) is taken into account to be the subsequent generation in PRP Therapy. PRF contains extremely high concentrations of fibrin, white blood cells, and a small number of stem cells found in our bloodstreams. The PRF is then placed into a bio-incubator and after 15 to 20 minutes becomes a gel-like substance able to be injected into the scalp or body. Side effects are practically nonexistent because the body is unlikely to reject its own blood.
How did it work?
The treatment begins by applying a topical numbing cream on the top head scalp. Then blood is drawn from the patient’s vein. A centrifuge device then separates the red and white blood cells from the plasma and platelets with their composition. This fluid is that the PRP, which features a higher concentration of platelets. Next, an esthetician performs the micro-needling portion of the treatment while she applies PRP everywhere over the head. The micro-needling device pushes the PRP into the head scalp. The expansion factors in PRP help the body’s natural healing process, filling the micro-channels with new collagen and elastin for improved scalp. At Darling Roots, we then have our Physicians Assistants or Nurse Practitioners inject the foremost concentrated sort of the PRP or PRF into the areas of the top that require the foremost correction.
