subject: Facial Rejuvenation: How Regenplasma Prp Facial Skin Rejuvenation Works [print this page] Born again skin - well not quiteBorn again skin - well not quite. But young again skin, thats a distinct prospect. Now, it looks like you could turn the clock back on the effects of aging by an appreciable extent, experience facial rejuvenation - not with surgery, not with creams, not with cosmetics, not with pills, not with electronics, then how? Naturally is how.
I'm Dr. Barry Lycka, cosmetic doctor, and I'd like to share a remarkable discovery with you. The clue is in the name, RegenPlasma. This quick and simple technique stimulates tissue regeneration using one's own blood products.
Let me explain how it works.
Blood is made of white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets which contain growth factors and all of this is pumped around the body within the plasma. Using a patented technique, clinicians can take a patient's blood and concentrate the proportion of platelets in the plasma to four times the normal level. The result is a gel called Platelet Rich Plasma, PRP for short.
What is so remarkable about that? Let's take a closer look at a platelet. When the PRP gel is injected back into the patient, the platelets are activated and release growth factors. These attract stem cells which proliferate and differentiate it into healthy cells specific to the location of the body. It can be a joint. That is why basketball star Kobe Bryant had PRP therapy to treat an injured right knee joint.
Other people, such as football players, have used this therapy before important games like the Super Bowl. Sports medicine is just one area in which PRP has proved successful in rebuilding tissue. These include orthopedics, ophthalmology and cardiac surgery. And now, aesthetics in which you know, I have a professional interest and you will have a personal interest.
The latest application of PRP to be explored is in the face and neck revitalization - facial skin rejuvenation. When your own blood is refined into PRP and is injected into the facial skin, it will activate the stem cells that create a new dermis to support the skin. It will also stimulate collagen and it will ask them to create a fresher and healthier look.
That's the science on how these skin rejuvenation treatments work, but what about the success?
Pictures show how the passing years leave their mark on the skin in the form of thinning, sagging, wrinkling and dryness. And then three weeks after receiving PRP treatment, most patients find that the fine lines and wrinkles have softened and deeper lines have become smoother. General complexion, texture and tone have improved too. Further improvements are known to subtly continue for up to a year.
What do researchers say about the results of clinical trials?
"Face and neck revitalization with PRP is a promising, easy to perform technique."
What you can expect?
Well, we find for example that the skin looks better. We also find that if we have to add other agents such as Hyualronic fillers, less is necessary.
But what do our patients say after their experience of PRP skin rejuvenation?
A month after three treatments spaced one month apart of a sample of 23 patients, a 100% of patients was satisfied with the quality of the treatment.
Eighty-seven percent thought their general look had improved.
A majority thought their wrinkles had improved and 82.6% thought the same about their skin tone.
Overall, 65.4% of patients reported a good or very good improvement.
The news is spreading.
Elle magazines, Avril Mair tested whether this is the miracle anti-aging treatment the world has been waiting for and reported that, "Skin looks younger and fresher, a little plumper. Fine lines seem to smooth out." If you're also considering laser resurfacing, PRP applied right after a laser treatment can help facial healing and allow you to wear makeup sooner and get back to work and play faster.
Now, I know what you're going to ask. It sounds promising, but what about the pain and are there any side effects?
Taking your blood, enriching it and then injecting it all takes place in the same session of the clinic. If you want, we can actually save some of this for another treatment as well. The injection itself is like Botox, so it's not very painful at all. But because PRP is a natural product, there's no risk of allergic reaction.
Is it for you?
Do you want to know my professional view of PRP skin rejuvenation? I'm really excited.
Up to now, there has been a gap in the range of treatments for people who want to see a perceptible difference without surgery, artificial fillers or muscle toxins. Regen Plasma slots between them beautifully and we often combine it with other therapies for maximal effect.
