Platelet-rich Plasma

in Harare

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an innovative treatment that harnesses the body's natural healing powers to rejuvenate the skin and promote hair growth. This cutting-edge procedure, rooted in the science of regenerative medicine, offers a natural alternative to surgical treatments, focusing on harnessing your body's resources to stimulate healing and renewal.

What is Platelet-Rich Plasma?

Platelet-rich plasma is a concentrated form of your own blood, enriched with platelets, growth factors, and stem cells, which are crucial for healing and regeneration. This golden-coloured plasma is derived from processing a small sample of your blood through a centrifuge to concentrate these vital components.

The result is a powerful serum that, when reintroduced into targeted areas of your body, can accelerate healing, promote cell growth, and rejuvenate your skin and hair from within.

What Are the Benefits of PRP Therapy?

PRP therapy is especially useful for promoting skin rejuvenation and treating hair loss.

When applied to the skin, PRP can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and sun damage, enhancing the skin's overall texture and tone.

For individuals experiencing hair loss, PRP therapy stimulates hair follicles, encouraging new hair growth and increasing hair density.

What Does the PRP Procedure Entail?

The process of PRP therapy at Aesthetix Medical Clinic is meticulously designed for comfort and effectiveness:

  1. Blood Collection: A minor quantity of blood is extracted from your arm, akin to a standard blood test.
  2. Separation Process: This blood is then subjected to centrifugation and rapidly spun to isolate the plasma from other components in the blood.
  3. Extraction and Activation: The platelet-rich plasma is extracted and may be activated with calcium chloride to release growth factors.
  4. Injection: The activated PRP is then carefully injected into the targeted areas of your skin or scalp, depending on the treatment focus.

This minimally invasive procedure is relatively quick, with minimal discomfort, and leverages your body's healing mechanisms for natural, lasting results.

What Does the Aftercare Include?

After a PRP treatment, the aftercare is straightforward, focusing on maximising the therapy's benefits while ensuring a smooth recovery. You will be advised to stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet to support the body's healing process.

It's recommended to avoid touching or washing the treated area for a specified period, usually for the first few hours, to allow the PRP to absorb fully. It's common to experience slight swelling or redness at the injection site, which usually diminishes after a few days. To reduce any possible discomfort, refrain from vigorous activities and direct sunlight exposure for several days following the treatment.
