The body is amazing, with all sorts of different mechanisms in place to keep it running, despite what it might go through. For instance, when you have a small cut, platelets and other substances in the plasma facilitate the repair process.
This realization is what eventually led to platelet-rich plasma, or PRP, being used for its ability to rejuvenate a person’s appearance through its repair processes.

What Is PRP Therapy?
PRP therapy involves a patient’s blood being drawn and separated, allowing for the liquid portion, the plasma (which contains platelets) to be used for treatment.
In most cases, PRP is administered alongside microneedling. PRP microneedling involves tiny needles being used to poke the skin in multiple locations after the skin has been coated with the platelet-rich plasma.

How Does PRP Therapy Work?
The mechanism of PRP therapy is very interesting and ingenious. Platelets are primarily responsible for helping clot blood. However, recent studies have also shown how these platelets can produce collagen of their own, alongside the many other molecules that can be found in the plasma.
When combined with microneedling, this PRP can work itself into the skin and induce the production of collagen. For people who have aged, have prominent wrinkles, or have sagging skin, additional collagen to the face can tighten it up and reverse some of the symptoms that have already set in. In general, this allows for a more useful look than prior.

Who Is PRP Therapy Appropriate For?
Are you not sure whether you should bother signing yourself up for PRP therapy with microneedling? It can be hard to tell if this procedure is right for you, but a consultation with our team will help make things certain for you.
If you have any of the following skin features, you can reap some benefits from PRP therapy:
- Sagging or loose skin
- Wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Stretch marks
- Poor skin texture
- Hyperpigmentation
- Age spots
What Advantages Does Platelet-Rich Plasma Provide?
By increasing the production of collagen in the skin and with the substances in the plasma providing their healing function, some great benefits can be seen when PRP goes to work in the face. These include:
- A minimally invasive procedure, and preferable to receiving a surgical facelift.
- Reduces the appearance of wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and other symptoms of aging.
- Provides an anti-inflammatory effect.
- Speeds up tissue healing in parts of the body where there is infection.
- Can also help promote hair growth.
How Many Treatments Are Needed?
Every patient is different, so it is hard to give an exact number as to how many PRP treatments you might need. This is especially true without seeing the patient through a consultation.
However, the major factor in the number of sessions required is the severity of the facial features that a person finds concerning.
For mild and moderate cases, a single treatment will usually be enough. However, depending on how bad the skin features you’re trying to treat are, you might need as many as four sessions to achieve the effect that you’re after.
