We are spending our time these days embracing a good life trying to look good. We are sweating it out on the yoga mats, eating healthy and bending our budgets to buy the best skin care in the market available at the moment. We don’t blink on spending that extra buck on our appearances, both men and women alike.
But before you buy the must-have serum or opt for the cult favorite aesthetic procedure, you must know this.
Not long ago, the Kardashian famed Kim created a storm with her ‘Vampire Facelift’ The name alone was enough to get the world pinned their attention to her new reveal and everyone had to try it.
PRP sessions or clinically known as Platelet Rich Plasma Infusion has surged through Aesthetic procedures owing to use your own blood for anti-aging and skin enhancement. Moreover, this works wonders on hair rejuvenation making it so versatile for all kinds of skin and hair woes.
With quick sessions and visible results in a few visits, it marked a place in the most popular treatments in Aesthetics.
PRP came into the medical highlight in the early ’90s when it was used for sports injuries involving bone joints, muscles and tendons. The remarkable journey from being used by Orthopedics to Dermatologists for burn patients, in Plastic Surgery, Dental Surgery and finally for Anti-aging speaks volumes about itself in terms of results and ease of technique.
The procedure is just as simple as bringing yourself to an expert Aesthetician or a Dermatologists clinic. It is best to visit trusted brands which have facilities and trained professionals to part with the best results. An amount of blood is drawn out from your vein and centrifuged at a high speed to separate the contents of the blood. The concept of PRP is completely based on Growth Factors. Our blood is a source of these Growth Factors which lay suspended in the plasma of blood along with red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
This is where all the goodness is! Plasma rich and flooded with these Growth factors brings about the healing of the skin. They are present in our body in abundance carrying about messages for healing, renewal and growth. The collagen tissue, which is the supporting structure of the skin depletes with age and sun exposure. This is why you develop pigmentation, wrinkles and sagging skin. PRP sessions have shown an incredible response with collagen production and repair. Not surprised! This is exactly why celebrities are smothering themselves in their own plasma for a best anti-aging effect.
Why PRP?
PRP functions on the principle of rushing the healing process. Lasers and other procedures like chemical peels rely on the mechanism of creating microscopic injury to the tissue. The induction of repair in this form promises healthier skin. Unlike PRP, other procedures may have downtime.
PRP for Anti-aging
While you do the sun protection and follow a strict routine of skincare with serums and lotions, PRP procedures let the Growth Factors work their magic. There are about 10 types of Growth Factors most with most of them supporting the skin regrowth. Transforming Growth Factor beta (TGF-beta) is mainly responsible for initiating the collagen production.
While all other ingredients must be judiciously used to avoid their interaction with each other or nullifying effects, Growth Factors work unaltered with any ingredients and in the presence of infections.
With age, as your healing message system slows down, the fresh batch of Growth factors every few weeks restores the message. The result is fresh, supple skin.
PRP for Hair
As we all know that we kind of expect a receding hairline and thinning of hair with age. We also heavily incline towards our family inheritance for hair fate.
With age, we all start seeing thinning of hair also known as ‘Miniaturization’ of hair. This results from the hair follicles shutting down slowly, affecting the hair growth by slowing down, giving rise to thinner hair or in a shorter hair cycle.
Enter, Growth factors! Yes, they can support here as well. Epithelial Growth Factor, Endothelial Growth Factor, Fibroblast Growth Factor all can support in restoring the health of your hair follicles. And the good news is it’s all present within your body.
There may be some hits and misses in your Anti-aging programs. Your overall health, lifestyle choices, diet and stress levels play a huge role in the success of the anti-ageing treatments.
