Understanding Acne and Its Impact

Acne is a common skin condition that affects people of all ages, impacting not only appearance but also confidence. Persistent breakouts can be frustrating, especially when traditional treatments fall short.

PRP Therapy: Skin Rejuvenation and Healing

What is PRP?

PRP, or Platelet-Rich Plasma, is a treatment that utilizes the body’s own platelets to stimulate healing and skin regeneration. Platelets release growth factors, like PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor) and EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor), which activate stem cells to help regenerate new skin cells.

How PRP Therapy Works

  1. Blood Collection: A small blood sample is taken.
  2. Centrifugation: The blood is processed to separate the platelet-rich plasma.
  3. Activation and Application: The PRP is activated with a stimulant like calcium carbonate and then applied to the skin through injections, microneedling, or a cannula.

Benefits of PRP for Skin Health

PRP is widely used in aesthetics for skin rejuvenation, targeting signs of aging such as:

  • Tissue Atrophy and Laxity
  • Loss of Elasticity
  • Wrinkles and Collagen Depletion

By stimulating natural cell regeneration, PRP can help improve skin firmness, texture, and overall radiance.
