It is common to find people struggling with issues related to their skin and hair, as their quality significantly affects an individual’s appearance and attractiveness. So they are always looking for solutions to improve their hair and skin.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is gaining popularity for its effectiveness in treating various conditions. In the realm of cosmetology, PRP in Dubai and Abu Dhabi addresses all issues by offering a non-surgical approach to enhancing your skin and hair. Consult with Dr Surindher, a board-certified expert cosmetic surgeon in Dubai, UAE, to learn about the procedure, benefits, and cost of PRP treatment in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
PRP therapy utilizes a concentrated form of your blood, which contains platelets and plasma. Platelets are essential blood cells responsible for clotting and promoting healing. When injected, PRP stimulates cell regrowth and healing in the targeted areas, such as the face and scalp.
To create platelet-rich plasma, a small blood sample is drawn. This sample is then processed in a centrifuge, which separates and concentrates the platelets in the plasma. This process takes approximately 20 minutes. Once prepared, the PRP is ready for injection into the areas requiring regeneration.
PRP therapy offers a promising solution for rejuvenating facial skin. The growth factors and bioactive proteins present in PRP injections stimulate collagen deposition, leading to various positive changes in the skin, including:
Before the PRP injection, a numbing cream is applied to the face for 45 minutes to ensure patient comfort. The surgeon then injects small quantities of the activated PRP into different areas of the face and neck. Alternatively, a derma roller or Dermapen may be used to instill PRP into the skin, promoting collagen deposition.
The entire procedure typically takes around 1.5 hours. Minor side effects such as bruising or swelling may occur, but they usually subside within a day or two.
For sustained rejuvenation, multiple sessions are recommended. PRP therapy is often referred to as a “vampire facial” due to the use of platelet-rich plasma derived from the patient’s blood. PRP, in combination with fillers, adds volume and improves skin texture, resulting in a youthful appearance.
In recent years, PRP therapy has gained popularity as a treatment for hair issues like alopecia and slow hair growth. The high concentration of platelets in PRP, when activated, releases growth factors that promote hair growth. It extends the growth phase of existing hair, resulting in thicker and lustrous strands.
To perform hair PRP therapy, a blood sample is collected for PRP preparation, PRP a process that takes about 20 minutes. During this time, ice packs are applied to the scalp to numb the skin and alleviate discomfort. The processed PRP is then injected in small quantities across the scalp.
The entire process typically takes 1 to 1.5 hours. While some patients may experience a stinging sensation during the injections, it’s generally tolerable. After a brief observation period, patients are ready to leave.
For optimal results, multiple sessions are required. Initially, monthly PRP injections for 3 to 6 months are recommended, followed by maintenance injections every 3 or 6 months, depending on individual response. It’s important to note that PRP therapy primarily stimulates existing hair follicles and may not regrow hair in areas lacking follicles. It’s also used post-hair transplant to enhance hair growth.
PRP therapy carries minimal risk since it uses the patient’s blood. Common side effects may include bruising, redness, or infection. However, individuals with bleeding disorders, active infections, or skin diseases should avoid PRP therapy. It’s essential to choose a trained professional for PRP treatment to ensure safety and effectiveness.
