What is the process of ACR-PRP ?
Your therapist will assess the degree of skin aging, perform a skin analysis, and recommend a sensible treatment with reasonable outcome.
Options of facial rejuvenation are explained to you, including efficacy and safety. Cost analysis is discussed and the number of sessions possibly required.
Persons between the ages of 30 and 80 years are eligible.
Almost all skin tones show that the process is safe and effective because your own enriched plasma is used, but not all grades of wrinkling can be improved.
A photograph of the skin is taken to assist the follow-up and grading of the improvement.
Sixteen millilitres (16ml) of blood is obtained from the arm by venapuncture.
The blood is collected in special sterile tubes and centrifuged in the practitioner's rooms to separate the plasma. The plasma is drawn up into a syringe and activated with calcium-chloride; this stimulates natural growth factor release from the platelets in the plasma. About 8ml of PRP is obtained which is used for facial rejuvenation and injection.
By a mesotherapy technique, the PRP is injected, by multiple tiny punctures under the skin (including the dermis), under topical local anaesthesia. The forehead, peri-orbital region, cheeks, chins and dorsum of the hands, are the targets of aging and wrinkles, for rejuvenation. The process is relatively painless providing sufficient topical anaesthesia is applied. A mesotherapy gun is also suitable to deliver the PRP into the skin and the dermis.
PRP facial rejuvenation (or also termed ACR) can be a one off treatment, but further microinjections can be re-performed at 6-12 weekly intervals for recalcitrant lines and wrinkles if the client desires this.
Currently Regenlab PRP renders the most efficient enriched ACR, compared to other products.
This entire process and injection time is simple and takes approximately 45 minutes – 1 hour in total. The process is on the same day and on the same medical practice.
