PRP treatment means Platelet-rich plasma treatment or Dracula Therapy that is done for the rejuvenation treatment. It is the latest treatment trend in skincare which might look scary but gives you big-time results.
Process of the PRP treatment
This treatment is done in the full light of days. The blood contains a serum portion that releases PRP and it contains platelets. The platelets stimulate the cell turnover when applied to the skin, as it contains a high level of growth factor. In this treatment, your blood is used for the healthy activity of your skin cells. Platelets act as an energy booster for your skin as they are rich in growth factors but the platelets used should be activated platelets. Those activated platelets release alpha granules, within which those growth factors are stored. It contains 55% blood fluid, dissolved proteins, glucose, mineral ions, hormones, carbon dioxide, and blood cells. This treatment is used for multiple purposes like hair loss, sports injuries, scars, stretch marks, facial rejuvenation, dental surgery, cardiac surgery, sexual dysfunction, wound healing, and tissue regeneration. Around 10 to 30 millilitres of blood is withdrawn from an individual.
The first step to start this treatment is venipuncture. It is done to obtain the blood and is relatively painless. Now, to separate the platelets from the red blood cells, the blood is placed in a centrifuge which spins the blood at a high speed. The three layers are there, i.e., PRP, platelet-poor plasma (PPP), and red blood cells. After centrifugation, a small volume of fluid is obtained that contains approximately five to seven times the normal volume of platelets. After the process of spinning, the PRP and PPP are removed from the tube and put into a syringe. Now the PRP is injected into the area that needs to be treated. This procedure takes 30-40 minutes to get completed. The results are noticeable after three to four weeks of treatment.
