Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) harnesses the body’s own healing powers to have a natural, but potent, effect on several beauty flaws. Treatment with Eclipse PRP® here at Orange Coast Dermatology can smooth wrinkles and fine lines, reverse hair loss, ease scarring, and erase under-eye bags.
PRP is an innovative approach that uses a concentrated dose of your own platelets to stimulate skin rejuvenation and address these and other beauty concerns. Read on to learn more about four of the major beauty concerns PRP treatment can address.
1. Fine lines and wrinkles
As you age, your skin loses collagen and elastin – two major compounds that promote healthy, resilient, and firm skin. What’s the result? Fine lines and wrinkles form. PRP therapy can help turn back the clock on aging skin.
PRP is rich in growth factors that promote collagen production. When injected into targeted areas, it stimulates the skin’s natural healing process, resulting in smoother, firmer skin. Over time, you’ll notice a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a more youthful complexion.
2. Acne scars and other scarring
Acne scars and other skin imperfections can make you feel self-conscious. PRP therapy offers a natural solution to improve the appearance of these scars.
PRP accelerates tissue repair and regeneration. When we inject PRP into the scarred areas, it promotes new cell growth and collagen production, which helps to gradually fade acne scars and improve skin texture, providing you with smoother, more even-toned skin.
3. Dark circles and under-eye bags
Dark circles and under-eye bags make you look tired and older than you feel. PRP therapy rejuvenates the delicate skin under your eyes, giving you a fresher, more awake appearance.
The growth factors in PRP help to strengthen and tighten your under-eye skin, which reduces the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. By enhancing blood flow and stimulating collagen production, PRP can restore a youthful and rested look to your eyes.
4. Thinning hair and hair loss
Hair loss and thinning hair affect both men and women. PRP therapy is a natural treatment that stimulates hair growth and improves hair density.
We inject PRP into key areas of the scalp to awaken dormant hair follicles and promote hair growth. The growth factors in PRP increase blood supply to the hair follicles, strengthen the hair shaft, and prolong the growth phase of the hair cycle. Over time, you get thicker, healthier hair as a result.
The benefits of choosing PRP
PRP therapy is a natural and minimally invasive treatment for several major beauty concerns. PRP uses your own blood, meaning there are no chemical compounds or additives that could cause allergic reactions or adverse side effects.
PRP involves simple injections and requires little to no downtime. Though results may vary, many patients experience long-lasting improvements in skin texture, tone, and hair growth.
