Cosmetic Rejuvenation Medical Center has introduced Platelet-Rich Plasma treatments into our armamentarium of skin rejuvenation and anti-aging techniques for our patients.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), also known as Selphyl or the Vampire Facelift,  has been utilized in aesthetic medicine (UK, Japan, and Asia, Europe) to rejuvenate and slow down the aging process on the face. This refers to mesenchymal and epithelial rejuvenation by injection of the persons own treated and enriched plasma.The injections result in biological stimulation of resident stem cells by growth factors.Recently, Cosmetic Rejuvenation Medical Center has introduced this regenerative treatment for facial rejuvenation in select patients with chronological aging and solar damage.

Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP) utilizes the healing power of isolated platelets from an individual’s own blood to aid in the rejuvenation of their body’s soft tissues and bones.  This therapy is a part of a quickly emerging medical niche called Orthobiologics which studies ways in which the body is able to heal itself.  According to a study published in the May issue of the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, PRP therapy has proven itself effective in face and neck rejuvenation.  This discovery makes medical professionals, especially hopeful about the potential benefits PRP therapy may bring to dermatology patients seeking cosmetic treatments. 

Science supports the use of PRP for the augmentation and regeneration of hard and soft tissues. PRP is the source of concentrated platelet content present in blood. Apart from assisting blood clotting, platelets also release growth factors that assist the human body to repair itself by stimulating cells to regenerate or grow new tissue. Today, platelet rich plasma can easily be separated from blood, through a process of centrifugation. Using your enriched plasma permits the body to heal faster and more efficiently. Because your plasma (autologous) is used, there is minimal danger of disease transmission, anaphylaxis or neoplasia. In general medicine, platelet transfusion is a common practice for treating blood platelet disorders, including very low counts associated with bleeding.

Case studies reported in Europe, England, Asia, Japan and South Africa have demonstrated PRP treatments provide consistent rejuvenation of facial aging, including wrinkling in persons with modest grades of photo- or chronological aging. Patient selection is important and skin diseases have to be excluded. Improvement of skin texture and tone can be expected, these features are noticeable within 3 weeks, and the process can be enhanced by addition of appropriate Cosmeceuticals.

We would be pleased to provide a free in depth consult explaining this amazing technique to assist you with your cosmetic facial rejuvenation needs.
