Platelet Rich Plasma, also known as autologous conditioned plasma, is a form of platelet-rich plasma protein taken from the blood. Platelets are the blood cells in our body that make the blood clot and are responsible for the healing role. They have usually been used for growth or healing purposes in different treatments. The blood is drawn from your body and a machine is used to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the blood. The doctor numbs your body and PRP injections are used to inject plasma into the area of the body which needs healing.
PRP has been used in several medical fields, but its use in dermatology has grown fiercely. Initially used for hair growth and tendon healing, PRP is now helpful in tissue regeneration, wound healing, skin rejuvenation, scars revision, alopecia, and skin ulcers as it helps in the production of more collagen and elastin.
Other skin conditions like hyperpigmentation, skin burns, and melasma are treated with the help of PRP therapy as they require skin repair through tissue regeneration.
PRP is considered a safe option for most patients. However, you should consult a physician to know more based on your health conditions.
