Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) – Hollywood’s Fav Vampire Lift

What is Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)?

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is produced from a person’s own blood. It is a concentration of one type of cell, known as platelets, which circulate through the blood and are critical for blood clotting. Platelets and the liquid plasma portion of the blood contain many factors that are essential for healing and rejuvenation.

PRP contains various growth factors and these growth factors help to stimulate tissue growth

After a blood sample is obtained from a patient, the blood is put into a centrifuge, which is a tool that separates the blood into its many components. Platelet rich plasma can then be collected and treated before it is delivered to the area which needs rejuvenation.

PRP is used for cosmetic uses and also for the treatment of injured joints and muscles.

How Does PRP Work?

By injecting the plasma highly concentrated with platelets, high concentrations of growth factors will be injected into the skin causing activation of cell growth and thus stimulating collagen growth. With increased collagen content, our skin will then be rejuvenated and skin elasticity will improve greatly!

What is PRP used for?

PRP is used for various reasons and over at The Retreat Clinic, our signature Vampire Lift is performed to rejuvenate our patients’ skin back to its youthful glory. PRP can be injected on the face to improve & reduce fine lines, pump volume into sunken areas, and also to lift saggy skin! PRP is also injected onto hands to rejuvenate the skin as we should never forget that our hands can also tell our age. PRP is also useful to treat scars and stretchmarks.

Notice the glow and radiance 1 month after PRP was done. Cheeks are also less sunken than before!

Another use of PRP is also to increase hair growth for those who suffer from hair loss. Studies have shown that PRP can stimulate hair growth as the high concentration of growth factors in PRP can stimulate our hair follicles.

PRP is also very useful in helping hair grow especially in patients who have loss of hair and are already on medication. PRP helps to stimulate hair growth effectively and safely.

Apart from cosmetic reasons, PRP is also very useful to treat injured muscles, tendinitis and also injected into the knee to improve symptoms of osteoarthritis.

Is it Safe?

PRP is derived from the patient’s own blood so there is no chance of an allergic reaction. There are no external substances added into the PRP preparation as well, ensuring that the patient only gets his/her own concentrated growth factors.

The Choice of Celebrities

PRP is currently the rejuvenation treatment of choice by Hollywood celebrities most notably, Kim Kardashian. She was noted to have glowing and radiant skin after her procedure. The low downtime and also the minimally invasive procedure is popular as it is all natural (using one’s own blood) and the results are outstanding!
