If you stay on top of your appearance and wellness, chances are good you’ve heard a lot of buzz about platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. Chances are also good that you’re wondering if it can really deliver when it comes to minimizing the visible signs of aging.
This treatment started in regenerative medicine to help reduce inflammation and increase the rate of healing for many chronic conditions and injuries, but it’s made its way into the world of aesthetics — and we couldn’t be happier.
At Chrysolite Aesthetics in Houston, Texas, Dr. Rawan Abu-Zeitoon and our aesthetic care team use PRP treatments to rejuvenate your skin, giving you a more youthful appearance with no surgery or lengthy recovery time required.
If you want to remove years from your face, take a moment to learn more about the power of PRP therapy and what it can do for you.
Your blood is made up of distinct elements, including particles called platelets. Platelets are created in your bone marrow and serve several purposes, including helping your blood clot so you don’t bleed out when you’re injured.
Platelets also contain special growth factors called polypeptides. These tiny powerhouses stimulate cell division and growth, helping repair your body and create new tissues as needed. Aesthetic PRP therapy harnesses these elements to help rejuvenate your appearance.
During your FDA-approved PRP treatment at Chrysolite Aesthetics, your provider takes a small amount of your blood and spins it in a special machine called a centrifuge. This separates the platelets from the rest of your blood, allowing your provider to create a super-concentrated solution with 5-10 times the number of platelets found naturally in your blood.
Based on your goals, your provider injects the concentrated PRP solution into the areas you’d like to treat. Your provider works with you to determine the best treatment zones based on your aesthetic goals. There’s no recovery or downtime required, so you can return to your normal routine right away.
The best part is that PRP therapy can address many skin concerns related to the visible signs of again, including:
This treatment can also help with concerns related to other conditions, including hair loss, vaginal dryness, stress urinary incontinence, asymmetrical or misshapen breasts, painful sex, and trouble reaching orgasm.
PRP therapy uses your body’s natural cell regeneration to generate amazing results, but this means it takes time for visible results to appear. About 3-4 weeks after your treatment, you’ll see noticeable results.
The best part? Because PRP therapy continues to stimulate your body’s natural production of the essential proteins needed for younger-looking skin, like collagen and elastin, you can expect to enjoy your results for up to 18 months!*
Combining PRP therapy with innovative aesthetic treatments can give you the best results when it comes to reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improving other age-related skin issues, like loss of skin tone. Here’s a look at two popular treatments we use at Chrysolite Aesthetics that use the power of platelets to give you younger-looking skin.
It may be called a Vampire Facelift, but this advanced treatment isn’t like a traditional facelift. Instead of surgery that requires anesthesia and a scalpel to make your skin tighter, this nonsurgical treatment works by injecting the PRP solution and hyaluronic acid fillers into your skin.
Dr. Abu-Zeitoon first injects the dermal fillers to add volume where you need it most, such as filling in hollow cheeks, plumping your thinning lips, and minimizing the appearance of deep skin folds, like the lines between your mouth and nose. She then injects the PRP solution to stimulate new tissue growth and give you the best results possible.
A Vampire Facial rejuvenates your appearance from the inside out. During this treatment, we combine the power of your PRP solution with the antiaging effectiveness of microneedling therapy.
Pain-free microneedling creates microchannels on the surface of your skin using small needles that are too tiny to cause bleeding or scarring. These micro pokes are enough, however, to trigger your body’s natural healing response, boosting your skin’s turnover to give you naturally fresher, younger-looking skin.
When Dr. Abu-Zeitoon applies your PRP solution to the microchannels, the concentrated platelets go into the deeper layers of your skin. The result? Tighter, firmer, more youthful-looking skin and fewer visible wrinkles.
