What is PRP?
PRP or Platelet-Rich-Plasma is a regenerative treatment that involves taking the patient’s own blood and processing it in a centrifuge to attain a concentration of platelets which is then placed at various depths in the skin for rejuvenation purposes.
PRP is in liquid form, allowing it to be placed in the very superficial epidermis as well as sensitive areas like the thin skin around the eyes. PRP releases an intense amount of growth factors over a short period of time, providing for accelerated bursts of rejuvenation.
What are the benefits of PRP?
PRP is completely natural and unique to the patient, providing a form of regenerative treatment without the use of synthetic substances.
PRP is able to rejuvenate your skin as well as other tissues like hair follicles and intimacy areas. Rejuvenation occurs through stimulation of beneficial proteins, collagen, and elastin.
PRP injections also increase blood flow to the treated area due to the high concentration of growth factors present in PRP. These growth factors stimulate the body’s natural healing process, including increasing blood flow, which helps to deliver nutrients and oxygen to the damaged tissue, thus promoting repair and regeneration.
What is PRP Gel?
Platelet-Rich-Plasma EZ Gel is a naturally derived substance used for skin rejuvenation and tissue regeneration. It’s an advanced form of PRP that’s been processed to form a gel-like consistency, offering a bio-filler option for facial aesthetics and other regenerative medicine applications.
PRP EZ Gel is a concentrated form of PRP, containing a greater amount of growth factors. The Gel is formed by exposing PRP to a heating and cooling process. This results in a filler like substance which can provide volume expanding deflated areas in a natural way using a natural substance.
Due to its prolonged presence of 4-6 months, the EZ PRP Gel steadily releases its concentrated growth factors over a far greater period as compared to PRP. PRP EZ Gel is naturally absorbed, leaving a framework of new collagen growth in its place. This framework is built upon with subsequent treatments for sustainable long-term results.
