Smoother, plumper and more radiant Skin can be yourS with Regen platelet rich plasma, a treatment that rejuvenates your own cells. Aimee Surtenich reports.
A favourite of celebrities, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment helps restore lost volume and rejuvenate the skin using the patient’s own platelets. Platelet rich plasma facial rejuvenation, available in australia under the brand name regen prp, involves the production and injection of autologous platelet-rich plasma to help restore lost volume and structure and improve the complexion.
apart from assisting blood clotting, platelets also release growth factors, which help the human body to heal itself by stimulating cells to regenerate new tissue. regen prp injections target the growth factors found in these platelets to stimulate the body into producing collagen.
“I believe regen prp therapy is the ultimate biological skin rejuvenation treatment”, says Perth cosmetic physician Dr Yien Yeo. ‘It uses the patient’s own cells to refresh the complexion, providing overall rejuvenation by improving the quality of the skin and restoring plumpness to wrinkles, scarring and crêpey skin.’
depleted amounts of collagen and elastin are common effects of the ageing process, manifested in the formation of deep lines, wrinkles and dehydrated skin. According to Dr Kathy gallagher from Queensland, regen prp therapy targets each of these concerns in all layers of the skin – from the deep dermal structures to the outermost surface.
