Dr. Sally Booth of Booth Dermatology discusses Skin Rejuvenation
Some clients consider the treatment as a way to grow their eyebrows or to help with acne scarring and facial rejuvenation. Today on Indy Style, Dr. Sally Booth of Booth Dermatology explains PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma, who might benefit from a procedure and what it entails.
WHAT IS PLATELET RICH PLASMA (PRP) FOR SKIN REJUVENATION?
The Platelets in our blood contain many growth factors that can help prevent deterioration and improve aging skin and underlying tissue.
These growth factors have the ability to heal and regenerate tissue in all areas of our body.
PRP uses your own platelets, rich in adult stem cells and growth factors to generate new collagen and blood supply
The treatment helps to repair and regenerate damaged skin and reverse the signs of aging.
PRP can be used with laser therapy or microneedling or injected under the skin for skin improvement, hair re growth and cosmetic improvementsHOW DOES PRP TREATMENT WORK TO REJUVENATE SKIN?
Platelets are the cells in your blood that help tissue to heal and grow new cells.
When Platelet Rich Plasma is properly injected into specific areas of the skin, it promotes your own collagen growth and regenerates tissue and naturally smoothes and tightens skin.
Studies show that PRP stimulates new collagen growth when injected into skin which can soften sun damage and rejuvenate other aging skin issues
IS PRP SAFE FOR COSMETIC USE?
Yes, PRP has been used for over 30 years in orthopedic medicine and dentistry and reconstructive surgery and for wound healing.
Now PRP use has expanded for cosmetic face and hand rejuvination and hair growth.
CAN PRP INJECTIONS BE PERFORMED WITH OTHER TREATMENTS AND DERMAL FILLERS?
Yes, PRP can be combined with just about every cosmetic treatment to enhance results. This includes microneedling and laser resurfacing and dermal fillers as well as other surgical rejuvination procedures.
But a patient may also choose to utilize PRP as a stand-alone treatment to improve the overall quality, tightness, and texture of their skin.
HOW MUCH IMPROVEMENT CAN I EXPECT FROM PRP PLATELET RICH PLASMA AND HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?
Since PRP comes from your own body, the results vary for each person. Our patients have noticeable improvement in the tone, texture and quality of their skin.
Some of Dr. Booth’s patients have experienced improved volume in their hands and facial tissue and well as shorter recovery from facial laser and rejuvenation procedures.
Results begin to show in 3-4 weeks after treatment and continue to improve with time.
One to three treatment sessions are generally recommended 1-2 months apart to achieve the best outcome.
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING AND AFTER THE PRP PROCEDURE?
A small amount of blood will be drawn from you and the PRP is prepared.
The injections take a few moments and are only mildly uncomfortable.
The procedure is quick, relatively painless and requires no post procedure time off from daily events. Mild swelling, redness or bruising fades within 3 days.
PRP therapy is another way Dr. Booth uses the latest research and advanced techniques to give patients natural and lasting rejuvenation results.
