Aging is inescapable. Skin will wrinkle and hair will thin. But that does not mean you can’t do anything about it. 

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment is fast becoming an anti-aging solution for many around the world. In fact, research shows it can even help many younger men and women with receding hairlines and other cosmetic ailments. 

Yet, despite its growing popularity, you may not be aware of what PRP is, how it works, and its benefits. Here, the health professionals at Glamour MD detail everything you need to know about PRP. 

Read on to learn more. 

What is PRP? 

To understand what PRP is, you first need to understand the composition of blood. Blood contains three main components — red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. 

PRP is simply a platelet-rich extract of blood. When you first come in for treatment, a trained professional will draw your blood, similar to any blood test. Next, a centrifuge will spin your blood at high speeds, separating the platelets from the rest of your blood. This platelet-rich extract is then used for treatment. 

PRP works because platelets are rich in growth factors. Thus, they trigger and speed up the body’s natural healing process when injected into your skin. The result is a reversal of the aging process.

What’s more, because PRP contains growth proteins and chemicals that stimulate the growth of hair follicles, it leads to hair regrowth and strengthening. 

Why is Hair Restoration For You? 

A receding hairline has been a thorn in cosmetics for decades. Because let’s face it, no one likes to lose their hair. And for years, there was nothing you could do about it — in most instances, male pattern baldness is genetic. But now, PRP for hair loss is changing the hair restoration landscape. 

In short, hair restoration is for you if:

• You are concerned about your appearance and want to improve it
• You are healthy and don’t have any medical conditions or significant illness

It really is that simple! 

What Areas Can it Treat? 

If you are worried about a particular sign of aging, PRP can treat it. So whether it is stretch marks, sagging skin, scars, wrinkles, or a receding hairline, PRP will work for you. 

What’s more, PRP can help with hair loss on any part of the body, not just the scalp. This includes thinning eyebrows, beards, or mustaches. 

Benefits

PRP is changing the game in the cosmetic industry, and for good reason, as it has many benefits. 

First, it is a total skin rejuvenation solution. Because it contains growth factors that stimulate collagen and elastin production, it helps tighten skin, ironing out any wrinkles or fine lines. In addition, collagen is also great for overall skin texture and tone, particularly for those that suffer from acne or rosacea. 

Second, given its nimbleness, it can treat difficult-to-reach areas. An example is sensitive skin under the eye, which is often the first to show signs of aging. But given the proximity to the eye, other treatment methods cannot reach it. Luckily, with PRP, you don’t have to worry about this anymore.

Third, it is completely safe because it uses your body’s natural components. This also means there is no risk of severe allergic reactions. What’s more, the process is quick with no downtime. So you can go back to your daily routine almost immediately. 

Lastly, the results of PRP treatments are long-lasting — typically prevailing anywhere between 12-18 months after the initial series of treatments. In other words, maintaining results is simple, easy, and time-efficient. It’s a win-win!
