PRP procedures have once again become more and more popular in recent years. The outcomes also stand on their own, helped by fresh data and technological improvements. There is little doubt that PRP has become a preferred therapy overall, for both the patient and the practitioner, due to its ability to target many problem areas while working in combination with other treatments.

Firm statistics on the effectiveness of PRP were absent in the early stages of this therapy. However, with the abundance of high-quality research and publications accessible, this is no longer the case. 

What is PRP?

Platelets, a type of blood cell essential to general body healing, and plasma, the liquid element of blood, make up the platelet-rich plasma. Platelets include growth factors, in addition to their well-known clotting abilities. These growth factors can boost tissue regeneration, promote cell proliferation, or speed up healing in the treated area. Platelet-rich plasma, to put it simply, is the patient’s own blood that has more platelets & hence growth factors than normal.

Clinicians take a blood sample from the patient using a special, regulatory approved medical device. A centrifuge can then swiftly spin the small blood sample, separating the platelets from the other blood components and concentrating them inside the plasma.  Platelet-rich plasma is created during this procedure.

Benefits of PRP

PRP as a whole offers both businesses and consumers a number of advantages. PRP has several uses in both conventional and cosmetic medicine. It is frequently used in surgery, orthopaedics, genitourinary medicine, dentistry, and veterinary surgery, among other specialties. The platelet-rich plasma that is employed is abundant in many growth factors that direct tissue regeneration and speed up recovery.

Being autologous (from the patient) there is minimal danger of contamination. PRP is a convenient and straightforward regenerative technique to use. Patients feel reassured to know there is little to no chance of unwanted effects with this therapy.

The majority of patients benefit from a course of treatments, and whether it is a scar, stretch mark remodelling, reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, or hair regrowth and stabilisation, effects frequently take a few months to completely develop.

PRP popularity 

More high-profile people and celebrities are increasingly using PRP therapy, which unquestionably improves awareness of regenerative medicine. Additionally, because PRP pioneers such as RegenLab are dedicated to ongoing research and teaching in this area, more medical professionals are using this sort of therapy and advocating it as a different treatment option for their patients. 

The face, periocular region, neck, chest, hands, and scalp are among the places that can be treated. PRP may be used in conjunction with a variety of different treatments or technologies. It works well with LED, skin needling, laser, and skincare (to name a few). 

Is PRP the future of medicine?

Regenerative medicine is an exciting and rapidly expanding subject. It is predicted that future practice will be heavily multimodal. Toxins and fillers will still have a role in cosmetic surgery, but PRP & other proven regenerative technologies will unquestionably complement them. It’s possible that our current practices may appear substantially different in ten years. A more educated & discerning client population are increasingly asking for this natural approach.
