5 Ways PRP Therapy Rejuvenates More Than Just Your Face
You already know that PRP therapy can refresh your face, but what else can it do? Here are five ways growth factors from PRP can rejuvenate your skin from head to toe.
DERMA is the newest option for a natural filler derived from PRP
Forget everything you know about facial rejuvenation. Many people rely solely on traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, missing out on the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma and PRP-derived natural fillers in cosmetic treatments. If you're seeking skincare solutions that go beyond hyaluronic acid and target genuine anti-aging effects, this is where you should focus your attention. DERMA is the latest, all-natural option that offers volume filling with regeneration. Let's explore how these options can transform your approach to looking and feeling rejuvenated.
Understanding PRP Rejuvenation: Benefits of Platelet-Rich Plasma Treatments
- PRP rejuvenation is unique because it works harmoniously with your body's natural processes. Growth factors found in your blood platelets boost your skin, encouraging your cells to produce new collagen.
- Most patients notice improvements in skin texture within days. Fine lines soften, and skin's crepey appearance begins to smooth out. The results appear natural because the treatment is derived from your own blood cells.
- The lasting power of PRP sets it apart from other options. Unlike some treatments that wear off quickly, PRP rejuvenation continues to work for months as your skin rebuilds itself from within. Your friends may notice you look better but won't be able to pinpoint exactly what has changed.
- The best part? PRP is effective for all skin types and tones with minimal risk of allergic reactions since it originates from your own body.
- DERMA represents the latest advancement in PRP treatment. With DERMA treatments, Dr. Lacy will utilize your PRP to create a stable filler that enhances your appearance immediately while also providing long-term rejuvenation.
How PRP Rejuvenation Works
- The PRP process begins with a simple blood draw, much like a routine lab test. Your blood sample is placed into a centrifuge machine that spins at high speed, separating its different components.
- This spinning process concentrates the platelets—tiny blood cells packed with growth factors and proteins that facilitate healing. The resulting golden liquid contains 5-10 times more platelets than regular blood. This concentrated solution becomes your personalized skin treatment.
- Your doctor injects the PRP into specific areas of your face, where the platelets release growth factors that prompt your skin cells to increase collagen production. Your skin responds as if it needs to heal, building fresh tissue and enhancing blood flow to the area. This natural healing cascade continues for weeks after your treatment.
Exploring DERMA Treatments
Advantages of DERMA - PRP derived natural filler
- DERMA is a filler derived from your plasma. It combines the benefits of regeneration and volumizing treatment by utilizing innovative advances in PRP treatment.
- With DERMA, your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge just like in traditional PRP treatment. The next step involves removing, then heating and cooling some of the plasma with specialized equipment. The final step in creating DERMA combines this activated plasma with liquid PRP to form a stable gel-like filler, made entirely from your own cells.
- DERMA treatments are particularly effective for deeper wrinkles and areas with significant volume loss, such as the under-eyes, temples, cheeks, and nasolabial folds. DERMA treatments can also be used to define cleavage and rejuvenate the appearance of neck and hands. The extra activation encourages more collagen production in the areas where you need it most. For individuals seeking dramatic results without looking "done," this option perfectly balances natural appearance with visible improvement.
Procedure and Expectations
- A typical DERMA treatment session lasts 60 minutes from start to finish. You might experience some redness afterward, but most people can resume their normal activities the same day. Unlike harsher treatments, there is no significant downtime.
- For optimal results, most doctors recommend a series of 2-3 treatments spaced about a month apart. You'll likely see immediate improvement from the filling effect, and the collagen regeneration effects will continue for up to 6 months post-treatment as your skin builds new collagen and elastin.
Comparing PRP with Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Traditional fillers work by adding volume beneath your skin right away. These gel-like substances, often made with hyaluronic acid, physically fill spaces and smooth wrinkles on contact. In some areas, like lips, traditional fillers are still utilized due to their thicker structure.
DERMA offers several advantages over traditional fillers.
- PRP-derived DERMA is all-natural, utilizing your own cells, which reduces the risk of allergic reactions and nodule formation.
- DERMA encourages your skin to establish its own support structures over time, resulting in more enduring outcomes.
- DERMA provides more actual volume per treatment. Traditional fillers offer 1ml per syringe, whereas DERMA allows each tube of blood to provide 4-8ml of natural filler, depending on the amount of blood utilized.
- DERMA can be safely applied in multiple areas for a natural filler effect, including the under-eye area, nasolabial folds, cheeks, temples, chin, neck and cleavage.
- DERMA treatment results in a more natural, refreshed appearance that has long lasting effects.
- Traditional fillers typically last 6-18 months before breaking down. PRP effects can last longer in some cases, as they actually improve your skin's condition rather than merely adding temporary volume.
