Platelet-rich plasma therapy (A-PRP) is a natural way to accelerate tissue healing and cell renewal. During the therapy, the patient's blood is extracted, then it is centrifuged and the resulting preparation is injected into problem areas. The goal of the procedure is simple - to combine the body's natural healing capabilities and the most advanced technologies without causing an allergic or autoimmune reaction.
The principle of operation and benefits of PRP therapy
When PRP is injected, platelets within the skin release growth factors at a slightly higher concentration than normal blood. This is intended to stimulate the proliferation of fibroblast cells and the synthesis of additional extracellular matrix components such as collagen and elastin, which are responsible for skin elasticity.
The expected benefits are increased skin elasticity, reduced wrinkles and brightened skin color. PRP treatment allows you to fill deeper wrinkles, wrinkles under the eyes. The results are visible after the first weeks, but in order to achieve an optimal effect, it is worth consulting with a doctor who will provide recommendations for continuing the course of procedures. The treatment depends on the patient's autologous cells and their ability to regenerate quickly, so there are always natural differences between the results observed in patients. PRP is especially used in clinical research studies, when the healing of deep wounds has no side effects.
Application of A-PRP in facial procedures
Regen PRP will give your skin a radiant and youthful appearance. It is a treatment that reverses the effects of aging. According to Dr. Yien Yeo, Regen PRP can rejuvenate dull facial skin to a youthful, healthy glow. This treatment method helps restore lost facial fullness and revitalizes all layers of the skin with the help of the patient’s own platelets.
The doctor says: “RegenLab Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy is a biological, maximally beneficial treatment focused on skin rejuvenation. It uses only the patient’s own cells to restore skin quality and plump up wrinkles and scars, revitalizing the complexion and revitalizing the skin.”
As the skin ages, collagen and elastin levels decrease, leading to the formation of deep lines, wrinkles, and dryness. By tapping into the body's natural healing mechanisms, RegenLab PRP therapy helps reverse the effects of this process.
About the procedure – straight from the lips of an experienced doctor
The term “platelet-rich plasma” is used to describe blood plasma that contains a very high concentration of platelets. Dr. Yeo explains that “platelets are a component of blood that is essential for blood clotting and tissue regeneration. Platelet concentrate contains special proteins that not only renew tissues, but also initiate the formation of new blood vessels, and the repair of connective tissue.” As a result, the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid is stimulated, making the skin healthier and more vibrant. PRP therapy is perfect for treating the entire facial skin, and most of all, for treating wrinkles, deep lines, and general loss of fullness of facial contours, thinning skin.
“My patients have noticed that their skin has become smoother and softer,” says Dr. Yeo. “This is especially evident when PRP is injected under the eyes and in the neck area, so it can be said that this treatment is particularly suitable for people aged 40-60. The neck and décolleté area is usually very difficult to improve without surgery, but in my experience, these areas respond very well to PRP therapy,” notes Dr. Yeo.
PRP therapy course and result
The treatment usually takes about 40 minutes. During this, two tubes of blood (about 10-20 ml) are taken from the patient – this amount is enough to treat the entire face. Dr. Yeo explains that “the blood taken is centrifuged, and plasma and cells are separated from it. The separation process takes about 10 minutes. After that, the concentrated plasma is injected into the problem areas in small amounts with the help of a thin needle. There is minimal discomfort during the process. After the procedure, the injection sites may be red or swollen, but usually no marks remain after the night. If the patient is very worried, then it is best to perform the procedure on Friday. This way, there will be absolutely no swelling until the next working day (Monday). Also, for the patient’s comfort, a local anesthetic cream can be used during the procedure.”
Visible overall results are seen after about three months, but Dr. Yeo says that skin texture, color, and hydration improve after just a few weeks: “Usually, multiple treatments are needed for best results, but I always recommend waiting at least three months. This way, we can best assess the current results and only then proceed with further treatment.”
PRP injections are the best choice for patients who want to enhance and tone their face, as the procedure provides extremely natural-looking results. For those who want the full package, the results of the treatment are achieved gradually, giving the skin an overall bright and youthful glow.
