APRP Anti-ageing treatment @ Regent Street Clinic™

1. APRP Anti-ageing treatment @ Regent Street Clinic™

2. About APRP (Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma Treatment) in the Cosmetic Medical Arena APRP is a fantastic method of anti-ageing treatment now being offered at our clinics, allowing rejuvenation and repair of the skin, using the patient’s own (autologous) cells, with long lasting effects. APRP therapy uses the body’s own blood plasma and concentrated platelets to regenerate damaged skin and subcutaneous tissues just under the skin. It is particularly useful in treating common problem skin conditions such as hollows under the eye, but it can be used anywhere on the face, neck, décolletage and hands where there are signs of ageing or wrinkles or hollows. The plasma may also be mixed with other filler products for an enhanced effect.

3. Anti-ageing medicine: What happens when we get older? From around age 30+: Damage in Dermis and Epidermis layers of the skin leads to: Decrease in: Content of Elastin & Collagen Skin fatty layers Number of cells
 Extra cellular matrix All these lead to: Changes in skin texture, firmness, radiance, volume, flexibility, elasticity and then on to wrinkle formation.

4. How does APRP work? Platelets are packed with numerous different growth factors in the blood (at least 7 well known factors) and they have an incredible capacity to stimulate local stem cells to make NEW tissue – in the skin this can be fibroblasts (cells that make collagen), the collagen itself, keratinocytes (the predominant cells in the outer epidermal layer that give skin its lustre and glow) and other factors that lead to cell REPAIR and restoration. A sample of your own blood is drawn and immediately spun in a centrifuge. This separates the red blood cells from the plasma, platelets and other components. The platelet rich portion of the plasma can then be removed and used for any aesthetic purpose. This platelet rich plasma contains a number of different growth factors needed to generate new skin cells, as well as having a variety of proteins, enzymes, albumen, fibrinogen and many of the essential amino acids that optimise skin health. The rejuvenated skin appears younger, more elastic, thicker, tighter, more radiant and patients report an “Anti-ageing” effect. After topical anaesthetic cream has been applied to the problem area, your own plasma is injected and acts as a catalyst, releasing its protein-rich healing factors, the white cells and platelets. The cascade effect of the natural healing processes causes the gradual regeneration of the skin and the subcutaneous structures.
