You’ve probably heard of “PRP” in advertisements for cosmetic treatments – but what exactly does it mean? And what are the benefits of adding PRP to a treatment?
Let’s take a look!
PRP stands for “platelet-rich plasma.” Your blood is full of platelets, which are essential building blocks for regenerating cells and kick-starting sluggish cellular turnover. Platelets can be removed from the blood and added to a special growth-activating serum; this is the PRP that is used during cosmetic procedures. The process for removing platelets is pretty straightforward; patients can expect to have only a few teaspoons of blood removed from the upper arm. After the removal, the platelets will be extracted from the blood and added to the serum.
PRP is an excellent solution to add to any treatment, particularly those which are designed to boost cellular turnover and fade signs of aging.
