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.
