Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy – Newport Beach Plastic Surgery Introduces the Latest Innovation in Injectables!
Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy is an in office anti-aging treatment designed to activate collagen production and reduce wrinkles. Platelets are the body’s natural resources that speed tissue healing, decrease inflammation and pain, and increase connective tissue, bone density and the production of new blood cells. PRP Therapy is used in Newport Beach and Orange County clinics offering wrinkle reduction, anti-aging procedures, and other cosmetic enhancements. Many patients with crow’s feet, smiles lines, or forehead wrinkles find their skin becomes significantly smoother with Platelet Rich Plasma Injections.
The mechanism behind Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy is the therapeutic value of platelets within the body. Platelets are found in blood plasma and are the cells responsible for helping to improve blood flow in an injured area and increasing collagen production. As skin ages, natural collagen production decreases and skin loses its elasticity. This results in unsightly wrinkles and lines. By increasing the number of platelets with PRP Injections, the body has more cells to help generate collagen. This technology is similar to using your own stem cells to regenerate collagen.
The procedure for Platelet Rich Plasma Injections involves removing a sample of the patient’s blood and placing it in a centrifuge machine that separates blood from plasma. The plasma is then re-injected into specific areas of the face where wrinkle elimination is desired. PRP Injections are typically done every four weeks three to six times or until sufficient collagen production and wrinkle reduction is achieved.
Because the patient’s own plasma is used, there are no preservatives and absolutely no chance of rejection! The only significant risk of this type of treatment is mild to moderate bruising at the injection site. This side effect is highly dependent on whether or not the patient is already prone to bruising and does not occur in every individual. The patient’s own pure growth factor is used in this remarkably economical and painless procedure that naturally eliminates wrinkles without any downtime.
