Why is PRP so Popular?

Why is PRP so Popular?

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) at Vindhya Veerula MD - Integrative Dermatology & Laser Spa is like giving your body’s natural healing powers a boost. How big? PRP injections contain 5-10 times as many healing platelets as natural blood. 

Your dermatology specialist takes a tiny sample of your blood, spins it in a centrifuge to extract the platelets (cells that help with healing), and injects concentrated PRP back into your body.

Our trained experts at Vindhya Veerula MD - Integrative Dermatology & Laser Spa use PRP for numerous reasons, particularly to get younger-looking, healthier skin or hair. Take advantage of cutting-edge PRP by scheduling a consultation with our dermatology specialists.

10 reasons PRP is so popular

PRP is taking the health and beauty world by storm for various reasons, including:

1. 100% natural treatment

PRP uses platelets from your own blood, which means it’s one of the most natural, holistic treatments available. It contains no chemicals, synthetics, or other additives. You may be able to forgo medications with side effects or more invasive treatments by choosing PRP instead.

2. Versatile uses

PRP goes beyond cosmetic concerns. It speeds up the healing of wounds, sports injuries, joints damaged by arthritis, and other musculoskeletal issues when it’s injected into painful areas or injured tissues.  

3. Younger appearance

PRP injections can take years off your appearance by minimizing fine lines, wrinkles, and laxity — while enhancing your skin’s texture, tone, firmness, and overall appearance. PRP is an exceptional anti-aging treatment that offers superior, natural-looking results without making you appear overdone. 

4. Thicker hair

The most common form of hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) affects 80% of men and 50% of women. To achieve fuller, thicker hair without harsh medications or surgery, PRP is your solution. 

It stimulates new hair growth naturally, especially when combined with microneedling at Vindhya Veerula MD - Integrative Dermatology & Laser Spa. 

5. Virtually no risks

Unlike some other cosmetic treatments, including invasive anti-aging solutions like surgery, PRP poses little to no risk of complications because it uses your own blood. You won’t have to worry about the potential for an allergic reaction or other possible complications.

6. Minimal side effects

Side effects after PRP injections are minimal to nonexistent. You might experience temporary redness, soreness, or tenderness at the site of PRP injections or have mild scabbing after PRP combined with microneedling. But you won’t have to lie low or take time off from work.

7. No pain or downtime

PRP is highly popular because there’s virtually no pain (your specialist can numb the treatment ahead of time) and little to no downtime after PRP procedures. You can get back to work or resume other activities of daily living immediately after your appointment. 

8. Fast treatment time

PRP makes an excellent anti-aging lunchtime treatment, as it often takes just 30 minutes to complete. (Individualized sessions vary from person to person.) So, you can easily fit this treatment into a busy schedule. 

9. Long-lasting results

The anti-aging effects of PRP injections typically last six months to a year or longer. Repeat PRP treatments to maintain flawless results in the long term. 

10. Peace of mind

Many individuals who choose PRP to meet cosmetic or healing needs gain peace of mind knowing that their own blood is used as a treatment vs. chemicals, donated blood or other tissues, and medications. 

The treatment that’s right for you depends on your desired results, goals, lifestyle, and preferences.
