Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)

11 09 2023

What is it and what are the factors that influence results?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a popular treatment in regenerative medicine, encouraging healing, cell repair and renewal. It is frequently used in dermatology, aesthetics, and orthopaedics.

Platelets, containing a cocktail of growth factors, are separated from blood cells through centrifuging a blood sample for around 5-10 minutes. The platelet rich plasma, is then either injected or micro needles into the skin, or scalp.

PRP can smooth out wrinkles, increase hair growth, and enhance skin texture. The patient’s general health, the specific ailment being treated, the quality and concentration of platelets, and the application technique are all variables that can affect how well PRP treatments work.

PRP is generally a safe and minimally invasive treatment. Multiple treatments are required. Side effects are minimal, and include mild bruising and swelling.

It is very important that PRP is provided in a clean, clinical setting and with precision, for safe delivery and optimal outcomes.

For advice on whether PRP is appropriate and to discuss specific aspects of this treatment, a consultation can be booked with one of our clinicians here at Harrow On The Hill Dental & Facial Aesthetics.
