Find Out Why Everyone is Talking About PRP Injections

If you are a reality television aficionado, you may remember Kim Kardashian’s infamous “vampire facial” episode featuring platelet rich plasma (PRP) combined with micro-needling therapy. Fortunately, you don’t have to sport Kim K.’s frightful, blood-soaked visage to reap the benefits. PRP injections naturally boost the healing and regenerative power of a substance naturally created by your own body. A powerful antiaging protocol, PRP injections are also recommended for those suffering from chronic pain and inflammation due to old injuries. While PRP can’t actually turn back the clock, they can make you look and feel as if that were the case.

What Are PRP Injections?

PRP injections are comprised of a single ingredient extracted from your body: platelet rich plasma. In order to obtain it, a medical professional performs a standard blood draw, just like ones you experience for blood testing at the doctor’s office. Instead of being sent to a lab for testing, the tube is placed in a centrifuge. This process separates the plasma, which contains more than 1,100 proteins. Among them are growth factor proteins, beneficial enzymes and immune system messengers. This plasma is then injected into the affected area where it stimulates collagen production, tissue creation and healing.

For injuries and chronic pain, PRP injections can be a powerful treatment option. This isn’t their only potential application. Research shows that PRP injections also have a measurable impact on the health and condition of skin, visibly repairing signs of aging and skin damage.

What You Should Know Before Getting PRP Injections

Unlike fillers and synthetic injectables, PRP therapy will not yield instant results. The process of producing more collagen and tissues to heal damaged skin takes time, as this protocol essential helps to rebuild your skin from the inside out. It can take several weeks for the full effect to become apparent, but because it’s your own body actually rebuilding tissue rather than masking the signs of aging with fillers.
