The Benefits of Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy
August 9, 2016The secret behind ageless beauty can be found in this new, innovative treatment option called the PRP Facial. The PRP Facial is a state-of-the-art, anti-aging treatment that enhances your skin’s collagen production by activating the growth and repair enzymes naturally produced in your blood. Common cosmetic treatments such as surgery, fillers, and botox fail where the PRP Facial succeeds–the PRP facial actually improves the condition and texture of your skin by triggering your cells’ natural capacity for repair and regeneration. The result is glowing, more youthful skin, brimming with improved elasticity and fullness.
What is a PRP Facial?
The PRP Facial got its catchy name for a couple of reasons: 1) PRPs have been depicted in folklore and literature to be timeless, strikingly beautiful creatures that never age; and 2) the process uses your own blood to activate and trigger cellular regeneration. No one can escape the natural aging process, but those that are proactive in their fight against aging can slow the process and help the body fight some of the environmental and dietary triggers of aging.
How Can it Benefit Me?
First, it is important to understand how aging affects your skin so that you can understand how the PRP Facial works to maintain your health and beauty. As we age we physically slow down in varying different ways–even on a cellular level. The cellular growth cycle never stops, but with age it changes from its normal rate of regeneration causing skin to take on a greyish hue, a droopy facial shape, uneven texture, and blemishes. While many innovators have presented different ways to combat this natural process (botox, creams, face lifts, fillers, surgery) the PRP Facial is unique because it focuses on your body’s ability to regenerate and self heal.
Why is a PRP Facial a Better Option that Alternative Anti-Aging Remedies
The PRP Facial is recommended by Texas Spine and Sports Therapy Center because it supports our philosophy that we should help the body naturally heal instead of tasking chemicals, unnatural products, and invasive procedures with this important responsibility.
The PRP Facial doesn’t freeze any muscles, inflame your skin with chemicals, fill skin pockets with gels or fluids, or require any stitches and downtime. Foreign ingredients from other anti-aging creams and liquids can be absorbed into your body and cause you harm. PRP Facials don’t remove existing skin or affect the way you move your face. The PRP Facial is a regenerative medical treatment that restores your skin’s condition to its optimal state.
What Does the Procedure Entail?
A PRP Facial begins with a technician drawing a very small amount of your blood which is deposited in a centrifuge and processed to separate out the platelets and the plasma–which forms what we call Platelet Rich Plasma. Following this procedure, a Texas Spine and Sports Therapy physician makes multiple micro-punctures at the critical areas of your face that are showing the most signs of aging to help stimulate collagen production and allow for full tissue absorption of the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) that was processed from your own blood. When these micro-punctures are completed, the PRP is applied so it can be absorbed under the skin exactly where it’s needed. As the platelets are absorbed, it activates the stems cells, triggering the formation of new collagen, fatty tissue, and blood vessels. The result is more youthful-looking skin, with enhanced tone, texture, and resiliency all from your body. The PRP Facial provides you with your own custom-made, anti-aging treatment solution.
How Immediate and Lasting Are Results?
One of the amazing things about the PRP Facial is that your results just get better and better for 2-3 months following the procedure and they last for up to 1-2 years–once your skin cells have settled into their enhanced repair and growth cycle–before another treatment is needed.
