Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is an injectable treatment by which a person’s own blood is used. Platelets are fundamental in the process of tissue healing, and the growth of new cells.
PRP encourages collagen production, helps to regenerate the skin tissue, and may reactivate your cells into rejuvenating themselves.
The release of growth factors supports the healing process.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy has been around for years. Independent studies have now shown that plasma must be concentrated at more than 5 times normal baseline levels to achieve the very best repeatable results.
Many current systems do not achieve this. Emcyte Pure PRP does.

Typically, a PRP treatment takes about an hour to complete. This depends on if the PRP is administered through injections only, and/or micro-needled into the skin. This timeframe includes an additional 30 minutes for the blood to be drawn and spun in the centrifuge, and topical numbing to be applied.
Results from PRP injections can be seen for many years after treatment. However, these results vary due to the individual’s natural variation in quality of Platelet Rich Plasma, as well as their lifestyle.
PRP used for aesthetic procedures are safe for most individuals.
The most common side effects associated with PRP injections are
