PLATELET RICH PLASMA

A GROWTH COCKTAIL

WHAT IS THE PRP PROCEDURE?

PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is a natural, non-invasive treatment.

By tapping into your body’s own healing blood components contained in the platelet rich fibrin matrix, you can claim your youth back without the dangers of so many other age-defying and healing methods.

Platelet Rich Fibrin matrix or PRFM is the part of the blood that is rich in active proteins and growth factors which are essential for tissue repair and healing. These growth factors activate fibrin formation that creates a tough network of fibres which are almost similar to glue to strengthen and draw damaged skin together.

When blood is purified to its highest level by the PRFM process, concentrated platelets ensure the greatest healing benefits possible. This process encourages healing and strengthens cell transformation for a prolonged time.

THE VERSATILITY OF PRFM

The amazing thing about PRFM is the variety of conditions that it can treat effectively and safely. It is a natural, non-surgical alternative for cell restoration.

The processing of PRFM naturally stimulates stem cell growth and therefore has the ability to infiltrate and transform both superficial and deep dermis skin layers. This results in powerful healing. It improves skin texture, skin elasticity and restores skin volume.

WHAT SCIENCE SAYS ABOUT PRFM

There is solid scientific research to back up all the benefits of PRFM treatment. Many research studies have been able to determine the effectiveness and viability of the concentrated platelets in the fibrin matrix.

The PRFM process increases and intensifies endothelial cell activity. Endothelial cells line the inner surface of blood and lymphatic vessels.

This optimises blood flow in wound and ischemic injuries with powerful and healing outcomes. Research endorsed the abundance of growth factors from platelets.

TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME WITH PRFM

PRFM is a breakthrough in the medical field. Little else can beat these non-invasive, non-surgical and pain-free natural healing properties of the human body.

WHY WOULD ONE BENEFIT FROM THE PRFM TREATMENT?

Normal blood contains only 6% platelets, however, in platelet rich plasma, a concentration of 94% platelets transform to a powerful growth factor “cocktail” which involves a variety of active growth factors and proteins.

These compounds stimulate cellular tissue regeneration and dramatically accelerate healing. Platelet rich plasma has become the pioneer in remedial treatments challenging ageing, alopecia, wound injury, lesions and scars, muscle and joint impairment.

WHAT MAKES PRFM SUPERIOR?

Our plasma health system uses a unique protocol where the patient’s blood is put through two separation processes. The outcome being super-concentrated PRFM, resulting in a superior end result. This ensures that we obtain a large amount of growth factors from our client’s blood sample.

We use various application processes in order to specifically tailor the treatment to each patient’s needs. We are able to combine PRFM with appropriate application techniques to ensure that this super-concentrated PRFM is applied to mandatory areas.

HOW LONG DOES THE PRFM PROCEDURE TAKE?

The entire PRFM process takes about an hour to perform.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED?

The number of treatments needed, will depend on each individual person’s severity of the area of concern, the desired outcome, and your preferred treatment plan.

HOW IS THE TREATMENT PERFORMED?

The therapist will introduce the PRFM into the skin via the most appropriate method based on the distressed area and need. Treatment options are available..

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE PRFM PROCEDURE?

The separation equipment permits platelet rich plasma to be rapidly prepared from a small volume of the client’s blood that is drawn at the time of treatment. The platelets are isolated from other blood cells, and platelet concentration is increased during the segregation process.

WHAT RESULTS CAN BE EXPECTED AFTER A PRFM PROCESS?

For rejuvenating effects, it can reduce wrinkles and fine lines without going through risky surgical procedures. The application of concentrated platelets uplifts and fosters restoration. It enhances skin volume, and reinforces skin texture and tone considerably.

For healing effects PRFM treatments work by supplying injured areas with natural protein, stem cells and bio-active growth factors. Because PRFM contains growth factors that heal damaged tissues, it triggers localised inflammation, collagen production and other cellular regenerative processes.

WHAT PROCEDURES ARE COMMONLY PERFORMED WITH PRP?

Skin colour and circulation: Dark circles under the eyes, areas of poor colour and dull complexion.

Skin pores and skin elasticity: Shrinking of skin pores, improvement in skin elasticity and much more.

Hair restoration: The combination of platelet growth factors and PRFM treatments are naturally a good fit for stimulating lost hair follicles.

Healing applications: Acute/chronic burns, wounds, tendons, muscle improvement and injuries.

IS THE TREATMENT PAINFUL?

Any mild discomfort that might follow the treatment will resolve quickly.

IS THE TREATMENT SAFE?

Since the platelets originate from the patient’s own blood, there is absolutely no possibility of allergic reaction or any other side effects. The only precaution you should need to take is to stop any anti-inflammatory or blood thinning medications, while administering PRFM.

WHAT ARE THE RISKS INVOLVED?

The procedure can be mildly uncomfortable, (depending on the treatment chosen), however the patient is well-numbed before starting the treatment, so most find it quite comfortable. The greatest risk is mild bruising, redness, sensitivity, swelling and mild peeling, while the patient heals.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?

No known side effects are associated with PRP treatment have been reported to date. As with any PRFM procedure, some clients may experience mild temporary irritation, swelling, itching, discoloration or tenderness at the site of treatment.

HOW PRP AND STEM CELL TREATMENTS WORK:
CONCLUSION

The goal of PRP treatment is for new blood vessels and fibres to form, helping to tighten, repair and strengthen damaged or aged skin, tissue or joints.

Research shows that growth factors in platelet-rich plasma therapy have the following benefits:

Growth factors stimulate cell replication.

Vascular endothelial growth and repair is accelerated.

New blood vessels form from pre-existing vessels.

These new oxygen rich, and nutrient rich blood vessels feed the damaged area.

Insulin-like growth factor builds scar, necrotic, connective and soft tissue.

IGF also assists in controlling blood sugar levels.

GFs allow the skin to repair itself evenly and rapidly.

GFs can be harnessed to rebuild and restore the effects of ageing.
