Cosmetic Platelet-rich Plasma Therapy for Facial Rejuvenation
Training & Certificate
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy is a high demand procedure that mingles advance technology with the body’s natural capability to heal itself. In this procedure the very own patient blood is separated into its active serum and platelet parts that are then mixed with Calcium Chloride and injected into the wrinkles, folds and areas that need to be corrected. The concentrated platelets in PRP contain large amounts of growth factors and signaling proteins that promote collagen fibrillogenesis and the repair and regeneration of tissue. Platelet-rich Plasma Therapy is highly in demand because of its use in treating sports injuries in professional athletes. However, the benefits from these techniques reach more patients than just athletes. These same growth factors also have beneficial cosmetic applications, such as facial and skin rejuvenation.
