With the recent advances in medical care and technologies, many are able to take advantage of the body’s natural healing powers and stimulate them in some areas of the body in preventative and anti-aging treatments, as well as to treat developing conditions. PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is one example of such regenerative treatment, which has been shown to have some impressive results while being low-risk and non-invasive.
Plasma is a liquid part of blood and is mainly comprised of various proteins and water. It allows the cells within it, like red blood cells, to move within it and acts as a solvent for the substances contained in the blood.
Platelets are blood cells that are primarily known for their role in blood clotting, however, they play a key role in regeneration and healing as they contain many growth factors participating in those processes.
PRP Dubai, or platelet-rich plasma, has an increased concentration of platelets suspended in a small amount of plasma after centrifugation of a person’s blood. Centrifuge rapidly spins the sample with the person’s blood and separates the plasma and platelets from other components. After separation of the PRP mixture, it can be used for injection at the site of interest to the same patient from whom the blood was initially drawn. The fact that the PRP preparation is prepared using a person’s own material makes it a safe procedure and has no rejection risks, making it appealing to many.
PRP is widely used for skin rejuvenation. It is also used for hair loss due to the shown ability to “awaken” the dormant hair follicles and stimulate hair growth. Additionally, it can be used as a support treatment after hair transplantation to ensure the best results.
It is advised to have around 3 sessions, with up to 8 months in between, depending on the individual differences. However, a consultation with a specialist prior to the treatment is necessary to tailor the treatment to your needs and to make it more optimal.
The procedure is known to be low-risk, however, it is important to be hydrated and well-eaten before the procedure to prevent light-headedness during the blood draw. Because the procedure involves injections, it is possible to experience bruising or soreness at the injection site. It is important to consider that, due to the injection, some conditions might be a contraindication for PRP, including:
