What Is PRP,Growth Factor, Treatment
PRP ,Growth Factor, Treatment involves blood plasma, which is found naturally in the bloodstream and has a rich concentration of platelets. This is processed specially to boost the number of platelets: these have growth factors and proteins ideal to help increase the speed of tissue’s repair / regeneration processes. They can activate stem cells at the same time. A sample of your own blood is taken, and spun using a centrifuge machine to separate the plasma from the blood. The plasma is then reinjected into your skin (or spread over it), to stimulate the production of collagen and cell migration. The skin will start to look healthier and younger as a result.
All of these treatments combined can have a powerful effect on your overall appearance, targeting the most visible areas for a full rejuvenation.
PRP.Growth Factor, Treatment has received so much attention that it may seem as if we’ve finally found the fountain of youth. Despite the hoopla, there’s little evidence to show that it works — or doesn’t work.
If you’re considering getting a vampire facelift, here’s what you should know.
What exactly is Growth Factor Treatment?
Overview of Growth Factor Treatment
We all have platelets in our blood. In essence, Growth Factor Treatment involves a three-step procedure:
1. Blood Draw
First, a healthcare provider draws a small amount of blood (about 2 to 4 tablespoons) from your arm.
2. Separation
Next, the provider places the blood in a centrifuge, which separates the platelets from the rest of the blood.
3. Re-injection
Finally, the concentrated platelets get injected back into your body.
Applications in Medicine
Orthopedic surgeons often use Growth Factor Treatment to help athletes recover quickly from injuries. Similarly, dermatology professionals explore it as a treatment for hair loss and to speed up wound healing. Moreover, some dermatologists also use it to promote younger-looking skin.
What to Expect
If you choose Growth Factor Treatment to address signs of aging, here’s what to expect:
Blood Collection
Initially, a small sample of blood gets drawn.
Centrifugation
Then, the provider processes the blood to isolate the layer rich in platelets.
Injection
Subsequently, they inject this platelet-rich plasma into areas like your face or scalp using a syringe or microneedling device. In some cases, your dermatologist may also use a filler for immediate results.
Procedure Duration
Overall, the entire procedure takes about 45 minutes to an hour.
Benefits and Considerations
Many patients report benefits such as:
- Reduced wrinkles
- Plumper skin
- Fewer deep creases
- Improved complexion
- Diminished acne scars
Additionally, patients experience minimal downtime. However, while demand is high, few studies support these benefits.
Before & After Gallery
*Individual results vary as the outcomes experienced by one person do not necessarily reflect the outcomes that other people may experience, as results may vary due to many factors, including the individual’s genetics, diet and exercise.
Is Growth Factor Treatment safe?
While dermatologists still have many unanswered questions, the procedure itself appears safe.
You may have a bit of pain, bruising, and swelling afterwards. These tend to go away within a few days.
The biggest risks comes from the way your blood is handled. It’s essential that the blood removed from your body be kept sterile. Otherwise, you could develop an infection.
For your safety, the facility should also follow the same process that transfusion centers use to make sure that your own blood is injected back into you. If you receive someone else’s blood by mistake, you could become very sick.
Who can have PRP
Treatment rejuvenation?
While PRP ,Growth Factor, Treatment is considered safe for most people, it’s not recommended for anyone who has one of the following medical conditions:
- Hepatitis C
- HIV or AIDS
- Any type of blood cancer
- Cardiovascular disease, which requires taking a blood thinner
- Skin cancer in the area to be treated
These conditions affect your platelets, making them unable to deliver the expected results.
How many PRP,Growth Factor treatment injections do you need?
Researchers have found that most patients see results after three or more treatments. This means that you need to visit your dermatologist’s office three or more times for blood draws, processing, and injections.
To provide more immediate results, some dermatologists, therefore, inject a filler along with Growth Factor Treatment. As a result, this approach allows patients to notice improvements right away.
How Long Does It Take to See Results?
If you do see results, the full effects typically appear within a few weeks to months.
How Long Do the Results Last?
Ultimately, results can last as long as 18 months.
Indications of Growth Factor Treatment
in Aesthetic and Regenerative Medicine
Growth Factor Treatment Overview
1. Skin Lesions and Wound Healing
Growth Factor Treatment is an autologous procedure that uses a plasma fraction with a higher platelet concentration from your blood. Platelets, therefore, play a crucial role in wound healing due to their growth factors and cytokines.
2. Skin and Facial Rejuvenation
This treatment dramatically improves skin quality, firmness, and glow. Specifically, it involves drawing blood, processing it to isolate platelets, and injecting platelet-rich plasma into target areas. As a result, patients see improvements, including increased hydration and enhanced skin tone, within three to four weeks. Moreover, optimal results often appear after a series of treatments.
3. Hair Restoration
For patients with alopecia, Growth Factor Treatment stimulates hair growth by injecting activated serum into the scalp, which effectively promotes new hair development.
4. Breast Reconstruction
A PRP breast lift enhances breast appearance without surgery. This procedure not only improves skin texture and fullness but also features minimal side effects and no downtime. It involves drawing blood, processing it, and injecting growth factors into the breast tissue.
5. Female Sexual Dysfunction
This treatment enhances sexual function by promoting collagen formation and blood flow in the vaginal area. Consequently, it effectively addresses issues like pain during intercourse and difficulty achieving arousal.
6. Musculoskeletal Regeneration
Growth Factor Treatment increasingly helps in orthopedic medicine for conditions such as tendonitis and arthritis. In doing so, it promotes natural healing and pain relief for sports injuries, facilitating a quicker return to activity.
