PROGRAM OVERVIEW
What is PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) Treatment?
Platelet rich plasma has been used with great success in clinical practice since
the 1990’s. It was initially used to enhance wound healing in maxillo-facial
surgery (dental implants and sinus elevations) The latest application of autologous
platelet rich plasma now includes cosmetic indications as well. This skin rejuvenation
technique has been used since 2004 in countries such as Japan, the United Kingdom,
Spain, Portugal and Argentina just to mention but a few. Patients see an improvement
in skin and complexion with increased collagen deposition that is long lasting.
The term autologous means that the source of origin is the patient’s own body.
Platelet enriched plasma contains several million more platelets resulting in
more growth factor release and more stem cell attraction compared to the normal
wound healing process. A new way of enrichment is now possible in the practitioner’s
own clinic. Centrifugation separates the red blood cells from the plasma and
platelets. The platelets need to be activated prior to injection because active
platelets release growth factors and attract stem cells. This course will concentrate
on the different areas of injection for facial skin rejuvenation. Great results
have been shown in areas such as:
| • |
Crinkling skin around the eyes |
| • |
Cheeks and mid face |
| • |
Neck |
| • |
Jawline |
| • |
Chest and décollétage |
| • |
Back of hands and arms |
| • |
Most body areas |

Stimulates hair growth on scalp |
